Abstract:Although the world output of zirconium has been declining, increasing zirconium consumption cannot compete with this situation. For this reason, removal and recovery of zirconium become important. This work is focused on the removal of Zirconium (as ZrO22+) ions from an aqueous solution using polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) techniques with water-soluble Poly (sodium-p-styrene sulfonate, SSS) sorbent. The negatively charged sulfonic acid groups in the polymer interact with positively charged ZrO22+ cati… Show more
“…It is known that increasing the polymer dose increases the amount of available functional groups for boron sorption, enhancing the removal rate. [38][39][40][41] However, further increasing the polymer dose beyond the optimal value can lead to accumulation of the polymer at the solid-liquid interface membrane in the UF cell, resulting in the formation of a gel layer. This can limit the availability of functional groups, preventing any further increase in the removal rate.…”
