A novel nanozirconium tungstovanadate that was assigned as a cation exchanger was synthetized using sol-gel preparation technique. The response of synthesis parameter variation on the properties of the produced ion exchanger was elucidated. The reactant molar ratio, gelation temperature, and HCl concentration have been optimized to attain cation exchanger with high ion exchange capacity and lead ion sorption. The most proper prepared sample has been chemically and physically characterized using different techniques. The ion exchange capacity of this sample was 2.5 meq/g and it recoded 96% lead ion sorption. The effects of the different processing parameters that affect lead sorption process have been investigated by a single factor method. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to the experimental data to examine the lead uptake mechanism.

Polyurethane foams functionalized with sulfonic acid groups are used in this study to exchange lead (Pb2+) ions from aqueous solutions. Toluene-2, 4-diisocyanate, 2,6-diisocyanate (TDI) was reacted with Polypropylene glycol 1200 (PPG) in 2 : 1 molar ratio to form a linear prepolymer. The linear prepolymer was further polymerized using N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (BES), which acts both as a chain extender and an ion-exchanger for Pb2+ions. The functionalized polyurethane foam was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The Pb2+ion exchange capacity was determined using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). The maximum Pb2+ion exchange capacity of the foam was found to be 51 ppb/g from a 100 ppb Pb2+solution over a period of two hours. In addition, pH analysis was carried out on the foam composition with the best Pb2+ion removal capacity. The pH results based on two-hour exposures showed that the functionalized polyurethane foam performed better at lower pH levels.

We studied a new ion exchanger for high ion exchange capacity (IEC) and rapid ion exchange. Polystyrene nanofiber ion exchangers (PSNIEs) were prepared by electrospinning from solutions of dissolved polystyrene followed by sulfonation. Coating and sulfonation were used to modify the glass fiber surface with polystyrene to produce cation exchanger fiber (CEF). We present new experimental results on the performance of PSNIE and CEF related to parameters of IEC, water uptake, and surface morpoholgy. IEC and water uptake of PSNIE depend on sulfonation time. IEC reached 3.74 mmol/g at relatively high water uptake of 0.6 to 0.77g H2O/g-dry-PNIE. IEC and water uptake of CEF reached 3.61mmol/g-CEF and 0.25g H2O/g-dry-CEF.

EDTA–zirconium phosphate has been synthesized as a new amorphous hybrid cation-exchanger by the combination of the inorganic ion-exchanger zirconium phosphate and EDTA, thereby providing a new class of organic–inorganic hybrid ion-exchanger with better mechanical and granular properties, a good ion-exchange capacity (2.40 mequiv/g dry exchanger for Na+), good reproducibility, and a higher stability and selectivity towards heavy metal ions. It has been characterized using FT-IR, TGA/DTA, X-ray and SEM methods, in addition to ion-exchange studies such as the determination of its ion-exchange capacity, elution and distribution behaviour, to provide a better understanding of the ion-exchange behaviour of the material. On the basis of distribution studies, the material was found to be highly selective towards Th(IV) and its selectivity was examined by achieving some important binary separations such as Cd(II)–Th(IV), Ni(II)–Th(IV), Hg(II)–Th(IV), Zn(II)–Th(IV), Pb(II)–Th(IV) and Al(III)–Th(IV) by column means, indicating its utility in environmental pollution control in one way or other.

The possibility of the encapsulation of isoquinoline in the nanocontainer on the matrix of the sulfonated copolymer based on styrene and divinylbenzene (CU-2-4 sulfocationite) has been researched. The encapsulation of isoquinoline in the nanocontainer on polymer matrix was performed by ion-exchange sorption from aqueous solutions. CU-2-4 sulfocationite in hydrogen and isoquinoline forms was studied by NMR and Fourier IR spectroscopy. In the 13C NMR spectra of solid-state samples of the CU-2-4 cation exchanger in the isoquinoline form is observed additional resonance absorption band of 13C in the range of chemical shift 136 ppm, corresponding to the nodal carbon atom of the pyridine ring. The IR spectrum of the polymer containing the encapsulated isoquinoline be observed bands characteristic for skeletal vibrations in the area of isoquinoline fingerprints (1300-1600 cm-1) and the band of 938 cm-1 that corresponds to the deformation vibrations of the CH-group of pyridine ring, which is not in the spectrum of the H-form sulfocationite. The ion-exchange capacity of the nanocontainer based on СU-2-4 sulfocationite for isoquinoline was 5.5 meq/g. This corresponds to the content of ionogenic groups in the polymer. The dynamic ion-exchange capacity of sulfonated CU-2-4 cation exchanger during encapsulation of isoquinoline coincides with the ion-exchange capacity of sulfonated cation exchanger upon the release of isoquinoline from the polymer nanocontainer. The content of immobilized isoquinoline in the nanocontainer on the СU-2-4 matrix reaches 71 % by weight of the polymer. It is shown that isoquinoline is encapsulated and desorbed with the solution of hydrochloric acid at the same rate. Encapsulated isoquinoline is completely released from the polymer by desorption with the aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The half-life during sorption and desorption (release) of isoquinoline is approximately 400 seconds. It is shown that the encapsulated isoquinoline to be completely released from the polymer by desorption with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The kinetics of the encapsulation and release of isoquinoline from the nanocontainer based on CU-2-4 sulfocationite is determined by its diffusion in the polymer phase.

The equilibrium sorption of uni-univalent electrolytes (NaCl, KCl) in heterogeneous cation exchange membranes with various contents of the ion exchange component and in ion exchange membranes Ralex was investigated. Using experimental data which express the concentration dependence of equilibrium sorption, validity of the Donnan relation for the systems under investigation was tested and values of the Glueckauf inhomogeneity factor for Ralex membranes were determined. Determination of the equilibrium sorption allows the effect of the total content of internal water and of the ion-exchange capacity on the distribution coefficients of the electrolyte to be determined.

Mg1.5Mn0.5Ti0.75O4 was prepared by a coprecipitation/thermal crystallization method. The extraction/insertion reaction with this material was investigation by X-ray, saturation capacity of exchange, and Kd measurement. The acid treatments of Mg1.5Mn0.5Ti0.75O4 caused Mg2+ extractions of more than 72%, while the dissolutions of Mn4+ and Ti4+ were less than 8.2%. The results showed that the Li+ extraction/insertion be progressed mainly by an ion-exchange mechanism. The acid treated samples had an ion exchange capacity of 10.6mmol/g for Li+.
