Abstract:
A process for obtaining a dense ion-exchange anionic resin and the product so obtained. The resin is of the type based on a co-polymer of styrene and divinylbenzene. The process involves a liquid phase treatment comprising contacting the resin with bromide in a liquid phase and simultaneously charging the liquid phase with gaseous chlorine while in contact with the resin for reaction to provide a styrene divinylbenzene copolymer ion-exchange anionic resin containing bromine and chlorine groups.
Abstract:
Improvements are made in the process wherein Li.sup.+ values are recovered from dilute aqueous solution by the use of an anion exchange resin composite containing crystalline LiX.2Al(OH).sub.3, where X is halide. The improvements derive from enriching the Li.sup.+ containing solution with a non-competing metal salt (e.g., NaCl) prior to the Li.sup.+ removal, thereby achieving higher Li.sup.+ loading of the resin composite and obtaining more concentrated eluates.
Abstract:
Magnesium values are selectively recovered from salt brines, even salt brines which contain competing ions such as Li.sup.+, Ca.sup.++, and Sr.sup.++, by contacting the brine with an anion exchange resin which has dispersed therein a microcrystalline structure of the formula MgX.sub.2.2Al(OH).sub.3, where X is a halide.
Abstract:
A process for the production of a particulate ion exchange material which comprises heating an inorganic material to produce a porous inert inorganic substrate, adsorbing an organic monomer into the substrate and polymerizing the adsorbed monomer so that the resultant polymer is retained within the pores of the substrate, and, if necessary, introducing ion exchange functional groups into the polymer.
Abstract:
