SynopsisThe irradiation damage and stability of pnlystyrene-divinylbenzene and phenolformaldehyde sulfonic acid ion exchange resins was investigated by determination of the radiolytic gases. A 440 curies GoCo radiation source was used. Commercial resins, Dowex 50W XI0 and Zeo-Karb 215, were prepared under strict conditions in free acid and in salt forms, in an excess of deaerated water, swollen with a known amount of water, and in a very dry state. A series of 6 equal samples were exposed to absorbed doses of 50-200 Mrad at a dose rate 2.5 X 10 5rad/hr. The gas analysis shows a very good linear does dependence of the evolved hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
A polyacenaphthylene-divinylbenzene sulphonic acid ion exchange resin with a capacity of 5.68 mequiv. /g. has been prepared. The resin has been characterized by determination of solubility, swelling, and selectivity coefficients of the following pairs of cations: Li-H,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
