The effective ion-exchange capacities of ion-exchange materials were determined by measuring the change in the equilibrium conductivity of a column packed with analyte. The developed instrumental method can provide effective ion-exchange capacities for both cation and anion exchangers with simple operations. The cation-exchange capacity of a weak-acid cation-exchange resin (TSKgel SuperIC-Catio...

heterogeneous proton exchange membranes (pem) are synthesized using the dry phase inversion technique. the casting solutions are prepared by dispersing a finely ground cation exchange resin particle in n,n-dimethylacetamide (dmac) solution of polyvinyl-chloride (pvc). results show that ion exchange capacity is increased with the addition of 1 %-wt nanosilica (from 0.14 to 0.27 meq/g) while it i...

Investigation of soil properties like Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) plays important roles in study of environmental reaserches as the spatial and temporal variability of this property have been led to development of indirect methods in estimation of this soil characteristic. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data...

this article presents the method of extraction-preconcentration of lead, cadmium, and nickel ions from food samples using the ghezeljeh montmorillonite nanoclay (geleh-sar-shoor) as a new native adsorbent in batch single component systems. the extraction-preconcentration of heavy metals were carried out by applying the solid phase extraction (spe) method followed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

With the classical sulfonation method of polystyrene-based strongly acidic cation exchange resins, polystyrene/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) alloy particles were sulfonated to obtain a cation exchange resin, which was then directly thermoformed to prepare a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) cation exchange membrane. The effects of the swelling agent, sulfonation time and tempera...
