In present research work, anion exchange membranes based on quaternized polysulfone with ammonium cation moieties (QAPSF) were prepared by chloromethylation, amination and alkalization. The chloromethylated polysulfone were characterized by 1HNMR spectroscopy and functionalization degree was determined according to peak area integration. Ion transport properties (ionic conductivity, ion exchang...

The binding of alkalis and calcium to silicate hydrate (C-S-H) can be measured by cation exchange using cobalt hexamine solution with adapted pH. effective capacity (CEC) decreased at higher Ca/Si in C-S-H. A maximum chargeexch/Si 0.08–0.10 was = 0.8 decreasing 0.01–0.02 1.6. At high Ca/Si, only a minor fraction Ca present exchangeable sites, while most the Ca2+ interlayer or surface specifical...

Potassium ion and Na(+) influx and efflux rates into and from excised barley roots are compared with the maximum capacity of accumulation. Potassium ion and Na(+) influx and efflux involve a cation exchange that is independent of simultaneous exchange of the accompanying anion. These exchange fluxes depend on the concentration and cation composition of the solutions from which they originate. S...

there is an increasing demand for reliable large-scale soil datato meet the requirements of models for planning of land-usesystems, characterization of soil pollution, and prediction ofland degradation. cation exchangecapacity (cec) is among the most important soil propertiesthat are required in soil databases. this paper applied a novel method for whole-soil profile predictions of cec (to 1 m)...

In this study, montmorillonite (MMT) modified by a cationic surfactant (Hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, HDTMA) was used as adsorbent to the removal of methyl red (MR) from aqueous solution. The effect of different parameters includes surfactant loading rate, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, and initial MR content was investigated on the sorption. The sorption capacity was increased by i...
