摘要:
Products are prepared of solid hydrogel matrixes having entrapped therein high-surface area sorbent materials, preferably activated carbon. The entrapped absorbent has an effective surface area no greater than about 1% of the actual surface area of the sorbent material, e.g., activated carbon per se, preferably not over 0.001%. The products are particularly useful in radioimmunoassay for antigens.

An ion-exchange hollow fiber is prepared by introducing into the wall of the fiber polymerizable liquid monomers, and polymerizing the monomers therein to form solid, insoluble, cross-linked, ion-exchange resin particles which embed in the wall of the fiber. Excess particles blocking the central passage or bore of the fiber are removed by forcing liquid through the fiber. The fibers have high ion-exchange capacity, a practical wall permeability and good mechanical strength even with very thin wall dimensions. Experimental investigation of bundles of ion-exchange hollow fibers attached to a header assembly have shown the fiber to be very efficient in removing counterions from solution.
摘要:
Hybrid copolymers are prepared by at least partially filling the voids of a macroreticular copolymer with a gel-type, cross-linked copolymer of either the same monomers or a copolymer of different type monomers. The hybrid copolymers can be readily converted into ion exchange resins. Such resins have markedly improved physical and chemical properties, including improved ion exchange properties. Such resins are also especially useful for decolorizing sugar solutions.

Thermally reversible, amphoteric microbead matrix ion exchange resins of micron size particles of crosslinked, weak acid cation or weak base anion exchange resin embedded in a matrix of a weak ion exchange resin of opposite form are prepared by suspending micron size particles of a weak ion exchange resin in a mixture of monomers which can be converted to a crosslinked matrix polymer, polymerizing the monomers, and then converting the microbead-matrix resin into active ion exchange form with a particle size of about 0.074-4.00 mm. Preferably the resin has microbeads of crosslinked polyacrylic acid embedded in a matrix of polymerized vinylbenzyl chloride - divinylbenzene aminated with dimethyl amine. These amphoteric resins absorb salts from water in a thermally reversible manner with improved resin capacities and kinetics. They have particular utility in the desalination of brackish waters.
摘要:
An electrodeionization apparatus adapted to remove ions from a liquid, the apparatus having a cathode proximate a first end of the apparatus and an anode proximate the opposite end of the apparatus and having a plurality of alternating diluting compartments and concentrating compartments positioned between the cathode and the anode, the diluting and concentrating compartments defined by anion and cation permeable membranes, and ion exchange material positioned within the diluting compartments, the diluting compartments having therein a continuous phase of a first ion exchange material containing a dispersed phase of clusters of a second ion exchange material. The method of removing ions from a liquid in such an electrodeionization apparatus comprises passing an aqueous liquid to be purified through the diluting compartments in which the diluting compartments have the continuous phase of a first ion exchange material with the dispersed phase of a second ion exchange material.
摘要:
A method and particles for binding monovalent cations, each of the particles having a nucleus containing a cation exchange material, and applied thereon, a coating comprising a membrane being permeable for monovalent cations, in particular sodium, potassium, ammonium and hydrogen ions. The membrane is essentially not disintegrated during passage through the intestinal tract of humans or animals and wherein the membrane is more permeable for monovalent cations than for bi- or higher valent cations.
摘要:
Magnetic polymer resins capable of efficient removal of actinides and heavy metals from contaminated water are disclosed together with methods for making, using, and regenerating them. The resins comprise polyamine-epichlorohydrin resin beads with ferrites attached to the surfaces of the beads. Markedly improved water decontamination is demonstrated using these magnetic polymer resins of the invention in the presence of a magnetic field, as compared with water decontamination methods employing ordinary ion exchange resins or ferrites taken separately.
摘要:
Undesirable ionic species are removed from water by way of a passive treatment employing apparatus in the form of a porous container which confines a multitude of pieces of sponge containing a chelation polymer. The container, preferably of tubular shape and having a draw-string closure, is emplaced into a region through which water to be treated is caused to flow. The manner of emplacement is such as to prevent by-pass of water around the container. After a suitable time interval, the apparatus is removed and replaced with similar apparatus having fresh sponge.
摘要:
The present invention provides a self-metabolic functional material including a functional ferromagnetic particles dispersed in a fluid, each of the particles including a functional component and a chemically reactive ferromagnetic component with a characteristic of losing a ferromagnetism thereof by a chemical reaction proceeding with time, the functional ferromagnetic particles losing the ferromagnetism by the chemical reaction of the ferromagnetic component with time. The self-metabolic functional material has a desired function and gradually loses its function by being used. The degradation or loss of the function of the material can be detected by degradation or loss of ferromagnetism. By using such a material in the self-metabolic functional apparatus including a carrying device and a supply device, the self-metabolic functional material is self-metabolized as follows: The function of the self-metabolic functional material is degraded or lost, and at the same time the ferromagnetism is degraded or lost; and then the self-metabolic functional particles can not be carried on the carrying device. Fresh self-metabolic functional material including self-metabolic functional particles by either ferromagnetism and functionality, is carried on the carrying device by the supply device.
