    摘要: A container for treating a fluid with an ion-exchange system is provided. The container includes a housing extending in an upright position between a bottom port and an opposed top port. The housing has an internal chamber. A bottom plate is disposed in the internal chamber above the bottom port and having a plurality of openings defined therethrough. The bottom plate divides the internal chamber between a main chamber and a bottom chamber. The bottom chamber is defined between the bottom plate and the bottom port. A plurality of diffusers extend from the bottom plate into the main chamber. Each one of the plurality of diffusers has a diffuser tube section projecting upwardly from the bottom plate and in fluid flow communication with the bottom chamber. The diffuser tube section has radial openings circumferentially distributed along a length thereof to radially discharge the fluid in the main chamber.

    摘要: Anion exchange polymers having high OH− conductivity, chemical stability, and mechanical stability have been developed for use in AEMs. The anion exchange polymers have stable hydrophobic polymer backbones, stable hydrophilic quaternary ammonium cationic groups, and hydrophilic phenolic hydroxyl groups on the polymer side chains. The polymers have polymer backbones free of ether bonds, hydrophilic polymer side chains, and piperidinium ion-conducting functionality, which enables efficient and stable operation in water or CO2 electrolysis, redox flow battery, and fuel cell applications. The polymer comprises a plurality of repeating units of formula (I) Anion exchange membranes and membrane electrode assemblies incorporating the anion exchange polymers are also described.

    摘要: An ion exchange resin for use as a stationary phase in an ion chromatography column. The ion exchange resin has a negatively charged substrate particle, a positively charged polymer layer bound to the negatively charged substrate particle, a linker, and an ion exchange group. The ion exchange group includes a sulfonamide group and an amine, in which the ion exchange group is coupled to the positively charged polymer layer via the linker. When the sulfonamide is in a neutral form, a positively charged amine group provides retention: while when the sulfonamide is in an anionic form, the sulfonamide anion becomes a counter ion to the positively charged amine group, forming a zwitterion that reduces retention at that site. Accordingly, the retention time is able to be controlled by adjusting the mobile phase pH.
