The microporous polymer matrix includes an ion conductive polymer. The ion conductive polymer may be obtained by polymerizing monomers having at least one ion exchange functional group and at least one cross-linkable functional group with a cross-linking agent having at least two cross-linkable functional groups.
Abstract:
An electrode for use in electrochemical ion exchange which includes a hydrolysable metal phosphate such as zirconium phosphate (Zr(HPO.sub.4).sub.2) which has been hydrolysed at least in part is regenerated. The electrode is made the anode of an electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is an aqueous solution containing one or more phosphate ions provided, for example, by a dissolved salt (eg Na.sub.3 PO.sub.4, Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 or NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4) or orthophosphoric acid, or both. Preferably, the electrolyte is acidic (eg pH 2). Operation of the cell reverses the hydrolysis reaction and enhances the performance of the electrode.

Abstract:
An apparatus for providing an inventory of an isotopically enriched acidic solution of an element that is capable of forming a water soluble weakly acidic solution at temperatures amenable to ion exchange and having a lower molecular weight isotope fraction and a higher molecular weight isotope fraction is disclosed. This apparatus includes at least two ion exchangers, each being temperature dependent with respect to their storage capacity of said lower and higher molecular weight isotopes, a hot tank containing a hot tank solution and a cold tank containing a cold tank solution both flow coupled to the ion exchangers. A first series of valves is selectively operable to direct the hot tank solution to one of the ion exchanger and to direct the cold tank solution to the other ion exchangers. A second series of valves is selectively operable to direct the flow from the ion exchangers to either the hot tank or the cold tank. An analyzer for sampling the solution is located upstream from the hot tank. The analyzer analyzes the sample to determine a content of the lower and higher molecular weight isotopes. A digital computer is connected to the analyzer for computing. a switchover signal based on a value of the actual lower molecular weight isotope enrichment flowing into the hot tank and a predicted value of the amount of the lower molecular weight isotope enrichment in the hot tank.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining uniform stream in an adsorption column is disclosed. This method uses an adsorption column having at least one single-flow passage in which the ratio of the inner diameter of the column to the average particle size of a packing to be packed in the adsorption column is at least 20, and comprises classifying the packing to be packed in the adsorption column and packing the fractions of the packing into the adsorption column in the order of particle size. Thus, a desired substance or substances contained in a mixture can be adsorbed and then separated as a uniform stream in an adsorption column.
Abstract:
A process for increasing the exchange yield in ion exchange processes is disclosed wherein at least one reaction fraction stored with the previous carrying out of the same exchange reaction, a solution of the exchanging ions supplied from outside and water are delivered to a washed ion exchanger bed which is filled with water and which is charged with the ions which are to be exchanged; and after the discharge from the bed of the water and of a solution obtained as product, the same number of reaction fractions with the same volume is collected and stored as the number as that previously supplied, in order to be delivered as previously with the next carrying out of the same exchange reaction in the identical manner and in the same sequence, and wherein displacement occurring in the direction of flow and relatively to one another of those liquid particles which are delivered simultaneously or in immediate succession to the bed is substantially prevented until the discharge from the container of the bed is reached, and the co-ion content of the reaction fraction or fractions is kept constant by keeping constant the volume of the reaction fraction or fractions, of the solution supplied from outside and of the liquids discharged from the system and of the co-ion content of the solution supplied from outside.
