Microwave-assisted synthesis of anion-exchange resins for sorption of noble metals: how to boost sorption capacity using a proper reaction environment
In the present studies a series of anion-exchange resins was synthesized in a microwave field. The 1,6-diaminohexane functionalized resins were obtained in presence of selected organic solvents, N,N-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The resins were employed in batch and dynamic processes of Au(III), Pt(IV) and Pd(II) sorption from tricomponent systems in 0.1 M HCl. The experiment was designed in a way that allowed to determine the use of a specific solvent in the microwave field and how it impacts on properties of the anion exchangers. An influence of a reaction environment was discussed taking into account i.e., dielectric characteristics of the specific solvent, efficiency of the syntheses processes as well as the maximum sorption capacity of the resins. Ultimately the application of a specific reaction environment was set together with sorption of noble metals ability and evaluated using infrared spectroscopy. The proceeded analyzes allowed to determine which organic solvent from the selected ones is the most suitable for microwave-assisted synthesis of the anion-exchange resins.
