a total of 148 groundwater samples were collected from bore wells from thirumanimuttar sub-basin for two seasons to identify major geochemical process activated to alter groundwater chemistry. the study revealed relationships with the lithology and anthropogenic process. groundwater in the region was dominated by na – ca – mg and cl and hco3 types. the (ca +mg) versus tz+ plot for both seas...

New bionanocomposite proton exchange membranes were prepared from sulfonated polybenzimidazole (s-PBI) and various amounts of sulfonated ZnO/cellulose nanohybrids (ZnO/cellulose-SO3H). The use of ZnO/cellulose-SO3H compensates for the decrease in ion exchange capacity of membranes observed when non-sulfonated nano-fillers are utilized. The strong –SO3H/–SO<su...

Ion exchange properties of five different Japanese natural zeolites in seawater were examined. Sodium ions could be reduced by all zeolites, although anions, Cl(-) and SO(4)(2-), in seawater showed barely changes. Natural zeolite desalination treatment mainly depends on the ion exchange between Na(+), K(+) and Mg(2+) in seawater and Ca(2+) in natural zeolite. This study found that mordenite ...

These three component inorganic ion-exchanger was synthesized under different condition. The most thermal and chemical properties of this material is prepared by intermixing solutions of sodium molybdate (0.1 M), sodium arsenate (0.1 M) and antimony(III) chloride (0.1 M) solution in different volume ratios at pH-1. The Ion-exchange capacity of all the samples was determined by column process. T...

Liquors arising from the dewatering of digested sludge typically contain ammonium levels in the range 200-700mgl(-1) NH(4)(+)-N. These liquors are frequently recycled to the head of the wastewater treatment works (WwTW) untreated and can constitute >25% of the total nitrogen load entering the works at inlet. This paper investigates the use of a clay-based material, MesoLite, as an ion exchange ...

This work reviews the application of the ion-exchange technology to treat industrial effluents containing heavy metals and presents results on the uptake of Cr (III) from aqueous solutions using the polyfunctional chelating exchange resin Diphonix. Some industrial samples of effluent collected in an electroplating industry were characterized in what respects metals, total suspended and dissolve...

The transport properties of various anion and cation exchange membranes were studied in different electrolyte solutions using chronopotentiometry technique to get insight about the influence of the counter ion on the transport properties of the membranes. The investigated samples include heterogeneous ion exchange membranes varying in the functionality of fixed charged gro...

In order to combine the qualities of inorganic and organic ion exchangers, a stable material with good chromatographic properties, a new inorganic-organic ion exchanger Titanium (IV) phosphosulphosalicylate(TiPSS) was synthesized. Sample-1 was chosen for detailed ion exchange studies due to its highest ion exchange capacity, good appearance and chemical stability. Characterization of the resin ...

the reported work is on the preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol -g- polyacrylic acid (pva-g-paa)/ polybenzimidazole sulfone (pbis) cation exchange membrane used for the electro dialysis of sodium chloride solution. the polymer syrup has been prepared using the grafting method with the help of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid in the presence of water solvent. the polymer ...

There are many reports in the literature referring to the utilization of drug bound to ion-exchange resin (drug-resinate), especially in the drug delivery area. Ion-exchange resin complexes, which can be prepared from both acidic and basic drugs, have been widely studied and marketed. Salts of cationic and anionic exchange resins are insoluble complexes in which drug release results from exchan...
