Abstract:
Inorganic ion exchange materials for the separation of 90Y from 90Sr include clinoptilolite, potassium titanosilicate pharmacosiderite, sodium titanosilicate and sodium nonatitanate. These materials are suitable for making a 90Y generator that contains 90Sr immobilized on an ion exchange column of the materials. The materials have a very high selectivity for 90Sr, a very low selectivity for 90Y, good radiation and thermal stability, low toxicity, fast reaction kinetics, and can be readily and reproducibly synthesized. A method is thus provided for eluting 90Y from the ion exchange material with an aqueous solution to obtain a carrier-free solution of 90Y.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an ion-exchange resin catalyst, as a catalyst for preparing bisphenol from phenol compounds and ketone, which has a higher selectivity to bisphenol and a longer life time, as compared to a conventional ion-exchange resin, and a method for preparing the same. The present invention also provides a method for preparing bisphenol comprising reacting phenol compounds with ketone, wherein the modified acidic ion-exchange resin in which at least one kind of cationic compound selected from the following (a), (b), (c) and (d) ionically binds to an acidic functional group, is used as a catalyst: (a) a quaternary phosphonium ion, (b) a quaternary ammonium ion, (c) a bis(phosphoranylidene) ammonium ion, and (d) an N-substituted nitrogen-containing aromatic cation.
Abstract:
A convertible roof (20) moves between extended and retracted positions for selectively covering an area, or exposing the area to ambient weather conditions. The roof (20) includes a first panel (26) having a plurality of inflatable tubes (28). One end of each tube connects to one side of the base of the roof and the other end connects to the other side of the roof's base. An air compressor (42) inflates the tubes sequentially via valves (40) and air duct anchor posts (30) or (112) for causing the first panel to move by inflation air pressure. The inflation air pressure causes the first panel to move from a position extending along one end of the base when the tubes are evacuated, to a second position above the base when the tubes inflate for covering the base. The roof will usually, but not necessarily, include a second panel (26) substantially identical to the first panel. The second panel connects to the end of the base of the roof opposite the end the first panel connects to. An air compressor also inflates the tubes of the second panel and causes the second panel to move by inflation air pressure in substantially the same way as the first panel.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an operating method which can reduce the amount of silver or mercury dissolved in a solution after contact and can increase the usage of silver or mercury without installing new treating facilities in a process for removing iodine compounds contained in an organic medium, particularly acetic acid or a mixture of acetic acid or acetic anhydride, by contacting them with a cation exchange resin in which at least 1% of the active sites are converted to a silver form or a mercury form. The operating method described above is characterized by carrying out the operation while elevating the temperatures in stages while contacting the organic medium, particularly acetic acid or a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, containing the iodine compounds with a cation exchange resin.

Disclosed is a granular inorganic ion exchanger which is obtained by firing at 400.degree. C. or higher a granular molded product of a mixture of a metal alkoxide such as Si(OMe).sub.4 or hydrolyzate thereof, a clay mineral such as sepiolite and an inorganic ion exchanger such as antimony pentoxide and which has mechanical strength and heat resistance without losing its inherent ion exchangeability.
Abstract:
A process for the increasing of the capacity of kinetics limited ion exchange column wherein an ion exchange resin impregnated with an insoluble, inorganic compound is employed. Because of the increased kinetics and density of the impregnated ion exchange resin, flow rates of the ion-containing medium through the resin may be increased. In addition, the insoluble, inorganic compound often removes certain specific materials from the aqueous stream.
Abstract:
There is described a method for preparing a cation exchanger to remove metals from liquids they are contained in, which comprises adding to a silicic acid medium with a molecular weight which is preferably lower than 50,000, such a base which brings said medium at least to pH 8, preferably about pH 10, and forming a precipitate that comprises said cation exchanger.
