Equilibrium sorption of methionine on carboxyl cation exchangers from solutions of various acidities

The influence of the acidity of solutions of methionine on methionine interaction with KB-2 and KB-4 carboxyl cation exchangers in the protonated and deprotonated forms was studied by the calorimetric, sorption, and spectroscopic methods. It was found that nonexchange methionine absorption occurred from acid solutions, and mixed ion exchange and nonexchange sorption, from alkaline solutions. The enthalpies of sorption of methionine at various external solution pH values were determined. Original Russian Text ? D.V. Ovsyannikova, L.P. Bondareva, V.F. Selemenev, S.I.
