Fuji Electric had developed the low pressure oxygen plasma technology for mild decomposition and mineralization of an organic material such as ion exchange resin. This method is suitable for radioactive spent resin volume/weight reduction and stabilization for final disposal. On this process, the ion-exchange resins are vaporized and decomposed into gas-phase with pyrolysis, and then, they are decomposed and oxidized with low-pressure plasma activity based on oxygen. And this process is achieved under moderate condition for radio active waste. • incinerate temperature: 400–700 deg C; • low-pressure (low-temperature) plasma condition: 10–50 Pa. From the result of this process, named of LPOP(low pressure oxidation process) by the inductively coupled plasma, we have confirmed that the process is applicable for organic fireproof waste including ion-exchange resin, and found that the used resin treatment performance is the same as cold test (using imitate spent resin) [1] [2] [3]. In this paper, the outline of the LPOP technology, and two research results on the possibility of solidification with cement of LPOP residue for geological disposes are reported. (1)Study of the residue chemical form after LPOP process (2)Study of the solidification character with cement.

Low-pressure oxygen plasma processing using ICP (Inductively coupled plasma) is the technology that takes volume reduction and stabilizing treatment of an organic material such as ion exchange resin mildly. We evaluated, for example, treatment performance such as the volume reduction, the weight reduction, and γ specter, H-3,C-14 for the spent ion exchange resin which has actually been produced in the ATR Fugen power station. As a result, a volume reduction rate was achieved not less than 90% (1/10), and a weight reduction rate not less than 95% (1/20). Co −60 was held not less than 0.998 in a processing chamber. In addition, distribution to an effluent gas was not more than 10−6.

A mixture of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and water was used as a new and unknown monophasic reaction solvent for fructose dehydration in order to produce HMF. HFIP is a low-boiling fluorous alcohol (b.p. 58 °C). Hence, HFIP can be recovered cost efficiently by distillation. Different ion-exchange resins were screened for the HFIP/water system in batch experiments. The best results were obtained for acidic macroporous ion-exchange resins, and high HMF yields up to 70% were achieved. The effects of various reaction conditions like initial fructose concentration, catalyst concentration, water content in HFIP, temperature and influence of the catalyst particle size were evaluated. Up to 76% HMF yield was attained at optimized reaction conditions for high initial fructose concentration of 0.5 M (90 g/L). The ion-exchange resin can simply be recovered by filtration and reused several times. This reaction system with HFIP/water as solvent and the ion-exchange resin Lewatit K2420 as catalyst shows excellent performance for HMF synthesis.

It was found that the ion exchange resins Purolite C100 H and Purolite S-957 can be used to extract lanthanum (III) ions from solutions. The values of the resin capacities for lan-thanum (III), iron (III) and aluminum and the ion distribution coefficients for both resins were determined. It is shown that according to the values of the separation coefficients, Purolite C100 H resin can be used for ion exchange separation of lanthanum ions from complex solutions

ABSTRACTThe pyrolysis of ion exchange resin beads that are used for the purification of water in reactor primary- and secondary-cooling circuits can result in stable and leach resistant carbonaceous products. However, free flowing beads are less desirable waste forms for disposal in sub-surface or surface repositories than monolithic masses of low porosity. We have investigated the pyrolysis of polymeric resin – cation exchange resin composites to give mechanically robust and chemically durable monolithic carbonaceous waste forms that are suitable for repository disposition. Also investigated was the dependence of product properties on various processing parameters (temperature ramp and final temperature). As a first approach, epoxy resins were used for the preparation of monoliths since such resins cure at room temperature and result in a relatively high carbon yield. Carbonaceous monolithic products were prepared at 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 °C using a temperature ramp of 2°C/min. The products were maintained at the chosen temperatures for a period of one hour. Mass losses, volume reduction, hardness and compressive strength were measured and mathematical functions are proposed to describe the measured values of these properties. The carbon monoliths were observed to be mechanically robust.

A series of resins was synthesized and analyzed for selective ion-exchange nature for some metals. Substituted aniline was reacted with formaldehyde, melamine. For the synthesis of ion-exchange resins, sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst. These resins were characterized by elemental analysis and studied antimicrobial activities. Synthesized Resin shows ion exchange capability and moderate activity against microbial. Ion exchange resin also showed reusability and stability at an elevated temperature.

Abstract The work is devoted to the development of methods for determining the elemental and isotopic composition of spent ion-exchange resin, industrial waste and environmental objects using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and analyzing specific samples to determine the content of noble and rare metals in technological materials, industrial waste and natural objects with application of the developed techniques. This article determines the elemental composition of the spent ion-exchange resin SIM202 with the Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method and also shows the comparison of the results with neutron activation analysis (NAA). The distribution coefficient of elements in a chromatographic column in ion-exchange resins TAO and SIM202 is given.

Ion exchange resins have been widely used as an option for wastewater treatments and are effective in reducing the concentration of residual metals. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of an ion exchange resin for the treatment of an acid waste regularly produced at the Chemistry Department in the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. Employing optimized experimental conditions the studied method allowed to remove, significantly the Fe3+, Cr2O72- and MnO4- content, using only the cationic resin, AMBERLITE IR 120®. In addition, desorption of these species was also studied, in which the metals content could be concentrated into a volume 70% smaller than the ordinary waste volume. Besides, after that desorption the resin can be reused and the method showed to be adequate for routine uses.

AbstractDetecting clandestine, intermittent release of heavy metal pollution into natural and man-made water ways is challenging. Conventional chemical methods are both labor intensive and expensive. A recent approach combining ion-exchange resins with the capabilities of X-ray fluorescence core scanners (XRF-CS) therefore is of great interest. In short, ion-exchange resin is deployed in the water using small sachets, the resin is then collected, dried, filled into sample holders and scanned using XRF-CS. Ion-exchange resins take up heavy metals in proportion to the concentration in the ambient water, with a correlation coefficient (R2) between concentration and XRF-CS counts better than 0.96 for most elements. However, a number of parameters influence the measurements. Different drying methods introduce differences in the XRF counts because of lattice bound water, resin shrinkage, and disaggregation of the resin particles. Furthermore, the newly developed sample carrier, which was constructed using 3D printed polymers, contains trace amounts of elements that may influence the sample measurements through edge effects and secondary fluorescence. In the tested sample carrier materials, substantial levels of Cr, Fe, Co, and Zn were detected, while Ca, Ti, Ni, Cu, Ga showed variable levels. Ba, Tl and Bi show very low levels, and Pb is only of importance in the PLA carrier. It is therefore necessary to streamline the analysis-process to ensure that the variations in sample treatment and drying and filling methods are minimized. It is also recommended that only spectra from the center of the compartments are used for the evaluation to avoid edge effects caused by secondary fluorescence of metals in the compartment walls. Although the technique of using ion-exchange resin sachets and XRF-CS analysis is only semi-quantitative, it is a cost effective and fast way to monitor large areas for environmental pollution, and the new sample carrier greatly contributes to make the process faster and less error prone.
