Electrodialytic separation of potassium ions from sodium ions in the presence of crown ether using a cation-exchange membrane

The separation of potassium and sodium ions from their mixture was performed by electrodialyzing a mixed solution of potassium chloride and sodium chloride in the presence of 18-crown-6 using a commercial cation-exchange membrane. After 18-crown-6 had been impregnated in the membrane, the mixed solution containing 18-crown-6 was electrodialyzed as the desalting-side solution. The permeation of potassium ions through the membrane decreased remarkably and the electrical resistance of the membrane increased during electrodialysis with increasing concentration of 18-crown-6 in the solution. Because potassium ions form a more stable complex with 18-crown-6 than sodium ions and because the complex permeated through the membrane with difficulty, sodium ions are thought to selectively permeate through the membrane. The current efficiency in electrodialysis was greater than 97.0%. Received: 1 June 1999/Accepted in revised form: 13 August 1999     

Extraction of Strontium and Cesium by Dicarbollides, Crown Ethers and Functionalized Calixarenes

The two main classes of extractantsused for the extraction of cesium and strontium aredicarbollides and crown ethers. Dicarbollides wereused on a large scale for the extraction of these twoelements from high-activity waste. The basicdicarbollides present drawbacks since they need to bediluted in polar solvent such as nitrobenzene and theirefficiency strongly decreases as the acidity of liquidwaste increases. Crown ethers enable cesium andstrontium to be extracted if the concentration ofsodium or the acidity of solutions are not too high.Recently, calixarenes blocked in the 1,3-alternateconformation were used for the selective extractionof cesium, even from high-salt waste matrices.     

Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of Chlorostannate(II) Complexes in Frozen Aqueous Solutions

Mössbauer parameters of frozen aqueous solutions of Sn(ClO₄)₂ in 0.5 M HClO₄ did not change with the concentration of NaClO₄, so that it was used to keep the ionic strength at the desired level. When NaCl was added into Sn(ClO₄)₂ solutions, isomer shift did not change, but quadrupole splitting did. Therefore, stability constants were calculated from the quadrupole splitting data, which were in good agreement with the published values. The observed spectra could be resolved into components.     

Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of Supported α-Fe2O3 and Fe Catalysts II: The Effect of the Second Metal Addition

The effect of the addition of a second metals such as Zn and Ni on the calcinaton and reduction of alumina, magnesia and silicasupported iron catalysis with total iron loading of 5wt% is investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy. It is shown that the reducibility of supported α-Fe₂O₃ is gradually increased by adding the second metal. The values of the magnetic hyperfine field obtained from Mössbauer spectra for the Zn or Ni-added α-Fe₂O₃ or Fe catalysts decreased with increasing second metal loading.

Oxoaminium salts as initiators for cationic polymerization of vinyl monomers

Oxoaminium salt ( 1 ), derived from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO, 2 ) by one-electron oxidation, could be an initiator for cationic polymerization of vinyl monomers such as isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE), 2,3-dihydrofuran, p-methoxystyrene, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, etc., to give the corresponding polymers, when 1 had a low nucleophilic counter anion. Formation of the adducts of 1 and IBVE as well as ¹H-NMR and IR data suggested the formation of polymers containing N? O? C structure as the polymer head group. In the polymerization of IBVE, the effects of solvent and concentration of 1 were little observed, however the polymerization rate was dependent on temperature. Furthermore, the thermal reaction of the polymers obtained, which were regarded as prepolymers for block copolymerization and polymeric initiators for radical polymerization, was studied. For example, poly(2-benzylidene-1,3-dioxane) obtained by the polymerization of 2-benzylidene-1,3-dioxane with oxoaminium hexafluoroantimonate ( 1, X = SbF₆) was employed as an initiator for radical polymerization of MMA to give its block copolymer with PMMA. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
