New nitrogen-and-phosphorus-containing fibrous ion exchangers for water treatment

New nitrogen-and-phosphorus-containing fibrous ion exchangers were produced by two-stage synthesis from Nitron fiber. The ion exchangers are efficient sorbents of heavy and nonferrous metals from aqueous solutions under dynamic conditions.     

Comparison of Fibrous Carboxylic Ion Exchangers in Water Treatment to Remove Heavy Metal Ions

Treatment of drinking water to remove heavy metal ions Pb^{2 +}, Cu^{2 +}, Cd^{2 +}, Co^{2 +}, Ni^{2 +}, and Zn^{2 +} with commercial fibrous carboxylic ion exchangers FIBAN Kh-1, K-3, K-4, and K-5 was studied. Features of metal ion sorption from two-component solutions were determined. A comparative evaluation of the sorption selectivity of FIBAN fibrous ion exchangers with respect to heavy metal ions was made.     

Comparative Study of Water Softening with Granular and Fibrous Ion Exchangers

Comparative study of softening of model hard water with both strongly acidic fibrous FIBAN K-1 and granular KU-2 ion exchangers was carried out. The influence of the filter-bed height, packing density of fibrous ion exchangers, volume sorption capacity, and filtering rate on the efficiency of calcium removal from model hard water was analyzed.

Thermal stabilization of polypyromellitimide films

The paper is devoted to the modification of the polyimide based on pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyloxide with phosphoric and boric anhydrides. It is demonstrated that, due to the use of phosphorus- and boron-containing polyamidoacid compositions for casting the polyimide films, one can significantly increase their heat resistance without substantial expenditures while, at the same time, preserving the film-forming ability and mechanical properties of the polyimide.     

Transport and thermal characteristics of Cs<Subscript>1 − <Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Rb<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>H<Subscript>2</Subscript>PO<Subscript>4</Subscript>

The transport and thermal properties of Cs_{1 − x} Rb _x H₂PO₄ in a wide range of compositions were studied. The binary salts Cs_{1 − x} Rb _x H₂PO₄ (x = 0–0.9) contain solid solutions with a structure of CsH₂PO₄. The binary salts were synthesized by mechanically mixing the starting components and growing crystals by isothermal evaporation from aqueous solutions. The properties of Cs_{1 − x} Rb _x H₂PO₄ salts obtained by different procedures were found to differ considerably. At higher rubidium contents in compounds obtained by mechanical mixing, the superionic transition temperature rose insignificantly, the high-temperature phase conductivity decreased twofold, the low-temperature conductivity increased within the limits of the order of magnitude, and the system of hydrogen bonds was slightly weakened. In Cs_{1 − x} Rb _x H₂PO₄ crystals grown from solutions, the temperature of the superionic transition decreased along with its slowing down, and the low-temperature conductivity increased by more than three orders of magnitude because of the higher contents of residual acid aqueous centers in the structure of the salt. These systems are characterized by increased thermal stability.
