Abstract: | The sorption of molybdenum by synthesized polymeric chelate-forming sorbents (PCSs) based on hydroxypolystyrene and a structural
fragment with o-〈1-azo-1′〉o′-hydroxybenzene was studied. A mechanism of the sorption of molybdenum(VI) was suggested and substantiated. Qualitative correlations
between the most important physicochemical parameters of the sorbent, sorption process, and sorbate (chelate) were established
and described. The correlations can be used to quantitatively predict the physicochemical parameters of sorbents and their
chelates for the purposes of synthesis, the use of PCSs for the concentration and isolation of elements, and physicochemical
studies. |
