Purification of Lactic Acid by Heterogeneous Catalytic Distillation Using Ion-exchange Resins

The purification of lactic acid based on the esterification of raw lactic acid from fermentation broth and then the catalytic distillation hydrolysis of methyl lactate simultaneously to achieve pure lactic acid is reported. The esterification kinetics of lactic acid with methanol catalyzed by strong-acid cation-exchange resins (Amberlyst-15,D001, D002, NKC, 002) was studied under the condition that simulates the real catalytic environment. Experimental results were correlated by a Langmuir-Hinselwood model and the nonideality of the solution was taken into account by using activities calculated by the universal quasichemical functional group activity coefficient (UNIFAC) method.A good agreement between the model and the experimental data was achieved. Continuous purification experiments were conducted to find the optimum column configuration and operation condition for the system. The effects of various parameters, e.g. the length of different section of the column, feed rate and ratio of reactants, packing material and catalyst type, were studied. This novel system shows good separation results in lab scale, and is potential for industrial application.

Taste masking of ciprofloxacin by ion-exchange resin and sustain release at gastric-intestinal through interpenetrating polymer network

The aim of the study was to taste mask ciprofloxacin(CP)by using ion-exchange resins(IERs)followed by sustain release of CP by forming interpenetrating polymer network(IPN).IERs based on the copolymerization of acrylic acid with different cross linking agents were synthesised.Drug-resin complexes(DRCs)with three different ratios of drug to IERs(1:1,1:2,1:4)were prepared&evaluated for taste masking by following in vivo and in vitro methods.Human volunteers graded ADC 1:4,acrylic acid-divinyl benzene(ADC-3)resin as tasteless.Characterization studies such as FTIR,SEM,DSC,P-XRD differentiated ADC 1:4,from physical mixture(PM 1:4)and confirmed the formation of complex.In vitro drug release of ADC 1:4 showed complete release of CP within 60 min at simulated gastric fluid(SGF)i.e.pH 1.2.IPN beads were prepared with ADC 1:4 by using sodium alginate(AL)and sodium alginate-chitosan(AL-CS)for sustain release of CP at SGF pH and followed by simulated intestinal fluid(SIF i.e.pH 7.4).FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of IPN beads.The release of CP was sustain at SGF pH(<20%)whereas in SIF media it was more(>75%).The kinetic model of IPN beads showed the release of CP was non-Fickian diffusion type.

Tungsten removal from molybdate solutions using chelating ion-exchange resin:Equilibrium adsorption isotherm and kinetics

The equilibrium adsorption isotherm and kinetic of the sorption process for W and Mo on macro chelating resin D403 were investigated on single Na2 Mo O4 and Na2WO4 solutions.The sorption isotherm results show that the adsorption process of W obeys the Freundlich model very well whereas the exchange process with Mo approximately follows the Henry model.The kinetic experiments show that the intraparticle diffusion process was the rate-determining step for W sorption on the resin,and the corresponding activation energy is calculated to be 21.976 k J/mol.

Kinetic Study of Esterification of Lactic Acid with Isobutanol and n-Butanol Catalyzed by Ion-exchange Resins

The esterification reactions of lactic acid with isobutanol and n-butanol have been studied in the presence of acid ion-exchange resin Weblyst D009.The influences of catalyst loading,stirrer speed,catalyst particle size,initial reactant molar ratio and temperature on the reaction rate have been examined.Experimental kinetic data were correlated by using the Pseudo-homogeneous,Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal models.Nonideality of the liquid phase was taken into account by using activities instead of molar fractions.The activity coefficients were calculated according to the group contribution method UNIFAC.Provided that the nonideality of the liquid is taken into account,the esterification kinetics of lactic acid with isobutanol and n-butanol catalyzed by the acid ion-exchange resin can be described using all three models with reasonable errors.

Investigation of the Ion-Exchange Behavior of Zeolite Y in the Presence of Resin

Ion-exchange process of zeolite Y using ammonium-type resin as an exchange reagent was successfully carried out. The effect of temperature, space velocity and ion concentration on the breakthrough curves was carefully investigated. At the first exchange section, the maximum proportion of qualified zeolites(QR) was obtained at a temperature of 70 ℃, a weight hourly space velocity of 0.61 h-1, and an ion concentration of 197 mg/L. The minimum length of mass-transfer zone(MTZ) of the resin bed was achieved at a temperature of 70 ℃, a space velocity of 0.61 h-1, and an ion concentration of 423 mg/L. At the second exchange section, the length of MTZ of the resin bed was significantly increased, and the exchange of Na+ ions contained in zeolite Y was more difficult than that achieved at the first exchange section. In both the first and the second exchange sections, the zeolite Y subjected to ion exchange with the resin maintained the similar physical and chemical properties as compared to those exchanged by the conventional approaches, but the zeolite Y, which was obtained after ion exchange, contained a significantly lower content of Na2 O.

Behaviour of radioactive iodide and bromide ions from aqueous solution on ion exchange resins Amberlite IRA-400

The ion exchange resin Amberlite IRA-400 in iodide and bromide form where equilibrated separately with the respective labeled iodide and bromide ion solution of different concen-trations varying from 0.005M to 0.100M in the temperature range of 32.0 oC to 48.0 oC. The dis-tribution coefficient Kd values calculated for iodide and bromide ion exchange increases with rise in ionic concentration of the external solution, however with rise in temperature the Kd values calculated where found to decrease. Also the Kd values calculated where higher for iodide exchange than bromide exchange. Among the different alternative techniques available for obtaining the Kd values, the radio-active tracer technique used in the present ex-perimental work offers high detection sensitivity. It is expected that the distribution coefficient data obtained from such experimental work will significant in environmental impact assessment on the disposal of radioactive waste.

17α-Ethinylestradiol removal from water by magnetic ion exchange resin

Magnetic ion exchange(MIEX) resins have received considerable attention in drinking water treatment due to their fast and efficient removal of dissolved organic carbon(DOC). Two types of mechanisms, i.e., ion exchange,reversible and irreversible adsorption, may occur during pollutants removal by MIEX. This work examined the removal mechanism of 17α-Ethinylestradiol(EE2) by MIEX. As one of typical estrogen micro-pollutants,EE2 existed as neutral molecule in natural water, and its charge density was close to zero [(0.00000219 ±0.00000015) meq·(μg EE2)^(-1)] based on the potentiometric titration method. However, the removal of EE2 by MIEX was much higher than that of other micro-pollutants previously reported. Multi-cycle adsorptionregeneration experiments and ion exchange stoichiometry analysis were conducted to elucidate the removal mechanism of EE2 by MIEX resin. The results suggested that the main removal mechanism of EE2 by MIEX was ion exchange instead of reversible micro-pore adsorption. The experimental analysis based on Donnan theory indicated that the internal micro-environment of resin beads was alkaline, in the alkaline environment EE2 would be ionized into negatively charged groups. As a result, ion exchange reaction occurred inside the pore of MIEX resin, and the removal process of EE2 by MIEX was dominated by the ion exchange reaction.

The increase of solvability, stirring speed andtemperature will speed up the ion-exchange process.

Adsorption of Copper from an Ammonia-Thiosulfate Media Using DOWEX 550A Ion Exchange Resin

The study of copper adsorption onto ion exchange resins of anionic type is part of the gold recovery from ammonia-thiosulfate solutions, where copper is the main impurity of the system because it acts as a catalyst of gold dissolution reaction. A study is made of the adsorption and desorption of copper in the form of the complex in an ammonia-thiosulfate media on an ion exchange resin, DOWEX 550A, classified as a strong base, which in its inner structure has a quaternary amine functional group. In the studied pH range copper adsorption increased with increasing pH, while the presence of thiosulfate decreased it, the same as the ammonia content, due to the greater presence of cuprotetramine, . Elution of the copper complexes from the resin was more efficient with sulfite than with perchlorate.

Study on Stability of Ion-exchange Resin Catalysts:Ⅱ. Desulfonation during Isobutylene Dimerization

The performance of ion-exchange resin catalysts during isobutene (IB) dimerization was investigated under different IB contents,temperatures and liquid-volume hourly space velocity (LHSV) using a plug flow reactor in the absence of any selectivity enhancing component.High IB content and temperature resulted in a high conversion and C12 selectivity bu low C8 selectivity.The influence of LHSV was related with the IB content:LHSV had great effect at high IB content,while the performance of ion-exchange resin changed little with LHSV if IB content was low.The effect of water on the stability of resins was also studied.Desulfonation was observed during the C4 dimerization reaction when water was added to the feed.Chlorinated resin was more stable than conventional polystyrene-based resins during the test.

Elution Behaviour of Monocarboxylic Acids on a Cation-exchange Resin Column

The retention mechanism of monocarboxylic acids on a cation-exchange resin column was investigated. It was assumed that both Donnan membrane equilibrium and adsorption equilibrium were involved in the chromatographic process. On the basis of the proposed mechanism, an equation was derived for correlating distribution coefficient, Kd, dissociation constant, Aa, and adsorption equilibrium constant, K, of the analyzed acid. By this approach, retention data for some aliphatic acids under different operating conditions were predicted. Results are reasonably in agreement with experiment.

Thermal Analysis and Immobilisation of Spent Ion Exchange Resin in Borosilicate Glass

The underground disposal of waste arising from the nuclear industry needs constant evaluation in order to improve upon it through minimizing the volume and cost by reducing the amount of glass used without compromising the safety of any leakage from the radioactive waste form. The immobilization of the spent resin (NRW-40) in borosilicate glass was investigated to meet the acceptance criteria for disposal of nuclear waste. The organic mixed bed resin in granular form was used as a waste target. The analysis of surrogate resin doped with radioactive and non-radioactive cesium (Cs) and cobalt (Co) was carried out to investigate their thermal and chemical properties and their compatibility with an alkaline borosilicate glass. The thermal analysis indicates that the structural damage caused by 1 mSv gamma radiation to the radioactive resin has altered its properties in comparison with the non-radioactive resin, same amount of cesium (8.88 wt%) and cobalt (1.88 wt%) were used in both resins. The immobilization of residue shows that the excess sulfur in the residue caused phase crystallization in the final glass matrix. It was found that the volatilization of Cs-137 and Co-60 from the successful radioactive resin-glass matrix (HG-3-IER-500) were more than that in the non-radioactive resin-glass matrix (HG-3-IEX-500). The study demonstrates comprehensive experimental and analytical works and shows that it is possible to minimise the volume of the waste while keeping the required safety levels, however further research needs to be carried out in this area.

Ion Exchange Adsorption Kinetics of Miglitol by D001 Resins

In order to explore internal factors for adsorption kinetic effect of miglitol by D001 resin, a batch adsorption operation for miglitol kinetic adsorption at different concentrations, temperatures and vibrating rates was investigated in oscillator (SHZ-A), respectively. The different kinetic mathematical model, Webber-Morris kinetic equation, film diffusion coefficient equation and kinetic boundary model were all applied to discuss the adsorption process. The results showed that Type 1 pseudo-second order kinetic equation can be all used to describe miglitol adsorbed by D001 resin at different concentrations, temperatures and vibrating rates. Moreover, the total activation energy (Ea) can be calculated and its value is 9.7 kJ/mol, and then calculated values of the process film diffusion coefficient and pore diffusion coefficient, it may be inferred from these gotten values that the ion exchange process is all mainly controlled by film diffusion. Therefore, the results also suggest that the external adsorption factors such as solute concentration, temperature and vibrating rate for effect of mass transfer diffusion process control of miglitol onto D001 resin are relatively weak.

Deep removal of copper from cobalt sulfate electrolyte by ion-exchange

SP-C was applied for the removal of Cu2 + from simulated cobalt sulfate electrolyte containing Co 2+50 g/L and Cu 2+ 0.5-2.0 g/L.Experimental conditions included pH of 2-4,temperature of 20-60°C and contact time of 10-40 min.The investigation demonstrated that SP-C had recommendable efficiency in adsorbing Cu2 + from the electrolyte with 25-to 100-fold of Co2 +.The optimal adsorption conditions of SP-C were pH of 4,contact time of 30 min and ambient temperature.The study also showed that the loaded resin could be effectively eluted with 2.0 mol/L H2SO4 solution at a contact time of 40 min;the peak concentration of Cu2 + in the eluate was about 35 g/L.The sorption characteristics of Cu 2+ by SP-C could be described by Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo second-order kinetic equation.Infrared spectra showed that nitrogen atoms in the functional group coordinated with Cu2 + to form coordination bands.

Combination of chlorine and magnetic ion exchange resin for drinking water treatment of algae

The effectiveness of a magnetic ion exchange resin(MIEX) for the treatment of Hongze Lake water in China was evaluated.The kinetics of natural organic matter(NOM) removal at various MIEX doses and contact time,multiple-loading experiments,impacts of MIEX prior to coagulation on coagulant demands and the effectiveness of combination of MIEX,pre-chlorination and coagulation were investigated.Kinetic experimental results show that more than 80%UV254 and 67%dissolved organic carbon(DOC) from raw water can be removed by the use of MIEX alone.94%sulfate,69%nitrate and 98%bromide removals are obtained after the first use of MIEX in multiple-loading experiments.It is suggested that MIEX can be loaded up to 1 250 bed volume(BV,volume ratio of tested water to resin) or more without saturation when regarding organics removal as a target. MIEX can remove organics to a greater extend than coagulation and lower the coagulant demand when combining with coagulation. Chlorination experimental results show that MIEX can remove 57%chlorine demand and 77%trihalomethane formation potential(THMFP) for raw water.Pre-chlorination followed by MIEX and coagulation can give additional organic and THMFP removals.The results suggest that MIEX provides a new method to solve the problem algae reproduction.

ADSORPTION OF HUMIC SUBSTANCES BY MACRO WEAKLY BASIC IONEXCHANGE RESIN AND THEIR EFFECTS ON REMOVAL OF Cu^(2+) AND Pb^(2+)

Adsorption of humic, tannic and gallic acids by a macro weakly basic ion-exchange resin JN-01 was studied. The adsorption capacity of this resin for gallic and tannic acids is much higher than that for humic acid, which can be explained on the basis of both their molecular size and ionization degree. Furthermore, humic acid is separated into different components with molecular weight in the range from 2000 Da to 100000 Da by ultra-filter, and their adsorption isotherms on resin JN-01 indicate that humic acid＇s molecular weight is an important factor which makes significant influence on adsorption. Finally, changes in the amount of Cu^2＋ and Pb^2＋ adsorbed on resin JN-01 as a function of the concentration of each of these three acids were studied. A large increase in the heavy metal ions uptake is observed in the presence of humic substance, such advantages are due to the interactions between the heavy metal ions and the unbound functional groups of the adsorbed organic acids.

Elements, Structure and Electrochemical Property of Carbon Derived from La^(3+) Adulterating Polystyrene Cation Exchange Resin

The polystyrene cation exchange resin was exchanged by La 3+ and then were carbonized to make resin carbon material. The electrochemical properties of the resin carbon material as the electrode of the lithium ion cell were investigated. The test results show that comparing with the polystyrene cation exchange resin without adulterating, the contents of hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur are changed obviously for the resin carbon material derived from the La 3+ adulterating polystyrene cation exchange resin. The contents of hydrogen and oxygen are increased, and the one of sulfur is decreased. The test results also indicate that it is more easily to form the stratum graphite minicrystal structure with bigger diameter for the La 3+ adulterating resin. According to the electrochemical test results, the electrode derived from La 3+ adulterating polystyrene cation exchange resin has much better electrochemical property, and the capacity of charge and discharge of the electrode is increased about 30 mAh·g -1 in average.
