STUDIES ON THE SORPTION OF MACROPOROUS PHOSPHONIC ACID RESIN FOR LANTHANUM

The influences of Medium pH,sorption temperature,sorption time,etc.on the sorption capacity of macroporous phosphonic acid resin for La^3+ were determined.The sorption rate constant was k298=7.64×10^-5 s^-1. The complex ratio of phosphonic groups of the resin to La^3+ was 3:1.The basic sorption parameters were determined. The sorption mechanism of macroporous phosphonic acid resin for La^3+ was examined by chemical analysis and IR-spectrometry.
