Am3+ and Eu3+ /alkali cation exchange selectivity was studied on mordenite and zeolite L at 25 to 60 °C to examine the effect of their openings of ion-exchange sites. The corrected selectivity coefficient at the infinitesimal exchange increased in the order of Eu3+ < Am3+ on mordenite and Am3+ < Eu3+ on zeolite L. The selectivity reversal did not reflect the effect of the ionic form, but reflected the dimension of the opening of the ion-exchange site and charge of trivalent cations, since the crystal ionic radii of alkali cations were much smaller than the openings of these zeolites (7–8 Å).

ABSTRACTManganese dioxides have received much attention over the last two decades as ion exchangers. Actually these are typically mixed-valence compounds and the terminology of ‘dioxide’ is not appropriate. The mechanisms for their variety of chemical reactivities are still open for study. On the cation uptake mechanism there are strong claims that a redox process is involved in cation uptakes by manganic acids synthesized by substituting H+ for alkali cations incorporated in ‘hydrous manganese dioxides’. The present work was carried out to physically demonstrate the alkali cation exchange mechanism on tunnel-structured manganic acids and to study the ion exchange with lattice vibrational spectroscopy. Manganic acids were prepared through the redox process using KMnO4 and MnSO4, and thermal decomposition of (CH3)3COK and MnCO3 at 530°C. ESCA spectra of their alkali cation exchanged forms indicated no evidence of redox process and supported the ion exchange mechanism on these materials. Their infrared absorption spectra strongly depended on their preparation routes and are closely related to their ion-exchange selectivity of each material. Thus, the vibrational spectra of manganic acids take an important role as a synthesis index together with XRD patterns.

The separation of divalent metal ion mixtures has been investigated chromatographically on columns of either gel or sol forms of alginate polyelectrolyte. Separation was obtained in the form of narrow sharp zones for the metal ions. Ion exchange selectivity indicated that Cu2+ ions were most strongly retained among the divalent metal ions studied. The factors which affect the ion exchange selectivity, such as the strength of chelation and the mobility and radii of the metal ions, are discussed. The selectivity coefficient for the separation of a mixture of Cu2+ and Co2+ ions on columns of calcium alginate gel or sodium alginate sol was determined and found to be 1.9 ± 0.1 in both ion exchangers at 25°C.

Alkali metal ion exchange isotherms at a total ionic strength of 0.001 M were determined at 25 °C on a 1.13 nm anomalous [Al3+ + Na+]-substituted tobermorite with the formula, Ca5Na0.75Al0.9Si5.1O16(OH)2 · 6.03H2O. The Kielland plots of Na+/K+, Na+/Rb+, and Na+/Cs+ exchange reactions showed straight lines. The slopes were steeper for Cs+ and Rb+ exchange reactions, as compared to K+ exchange. The cation-exchange selectivity for alkali metals was found to increase as follows: Cs+>Rb+>K+>Na+. A new evaluation method of the separation factor (αMN/KMd/KNd,Kd: distribution coefficient) for a combination of two cations at infinite dilution was proposed in terms of the selectivity coefficient (KMNa) which can be easily determined from the Kielland plot. An extremely large separation factor for Cs (αCsNa = 112) was found at infinite dilution. These basic studies of cation exchange selectivity are of relevance in cation separation and purification and nuclear waste disposal.
