The sorption capacity of boron on anionic-exchange resin
Boron sorption capacities on anionic-exchange resins vary with temperature, concentration, and resin crosslinkage. A semiempirical correlation, developed from boron solution chemistry, is presented to account for these variations. The relationship, based on boron chemistry and changes in Gibb's energy, can be stated approximately as Q = a{sub 1}C{sub B}{sup a{sub 2}}Z{sup a{sub 3}} exp[{minus}(a{sub 4}T + a{sub 5}T{sup 2} + a{sub 6}Z{sup 0.5})]. Correlation parameters, which vary with resin type, are evaluated experimentally. Parameter values for macroporous resin Diaion PA 300 and for gel-type resins Diaion SA10 and Amberlite IRN 78LC are presented. The resulting expression is used to determine boron sorption and desorption limitations on ion exchangers at various temperatures and concentrations, and to determine the interfacial boron concentration in equilibrium and rate models.
