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.展开更多
SP-C was applied for the removal of Cu^2＋ from simulated cobalt sulfate electrolyte containing Co2＋ 50 g/L and Cu2＋ 0.5-2.0 g/L.

Experimental conditions included pH of 2-4, temperature of 20-60℃ 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 Cu2＋ by SP-C could be described by Langrnuir 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.展开更多
