Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:3.41(Chemistry, Analytical)Recovery and purification of rare metals, which are essential ingredients for highly functional materials, generally comes with operational difficulty. In this study, we have developed polymer adsorbents specially designed for highly-efficient adsorption of rare metal ions and exhibited their practical adsorption performances. Radiation-induced graft polymerization, one of the effective modification techniques for polymers, was employed for preparing the proposed adsorbents. Among such adsorbents, a 6-nylon fiber with nucleic-acid base, adenine, on the surface of the fiber demonstrated specific adsorption of ruthenium and palladium ions. In addition, a 6-nylon fiber with an extractant HDEHP (bis (2-ethylhexyl) phophoric acid) that has high affinity for lanthanides, achieved higher separation speed than a commercially available HDEHP-impregnated resin.

A chelating fiber containing an amidoxime group as a chelate-forming group was prepared by radiation-induced cograft polymerization of acrylonitrile and methacrylic acid and subsequent conversion of the produced cyano group into the amidoxime group. The effect of repeated use of monomers for radiation-induced graft copolymerization on the composition of the graft chain and its adsorption capacity for metal ions was determined. The degree of cografting decreased by as low as 10% at the fourth cycle of cografting, compared with an initial degree of cografting of 170%, because the amount of homopolymer formed in cografting was negligibly small at 0.15 g/L of the monomer solution. The repeated use of monomers did not affect the amidoxime group density and the adsorption capacities of zinc and cadmium ions, resulting in the cost reduction of the preparation of the chelating fiber.

In September 1999, we have soaked 200 kg of fibrous amidoxime adsorbents, synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization, into seawater to evaluate their performance. Fractional elution facility was set effectively to elute the rare metals on adsorbents in Mutsu-Establishment. This facility consists of two parts of pre-washing and elution. The present report dealt with planning, manufacture and setting of fractional facility. Marine organism and slime on adsorbent cassette (290290160 mm) were washed out and every 72 cassettes were set in elution unit (12101210H1460 mm) with nonwoven materials as a packing to avoid elution loss. In the elution process alkaline and alkaline earth metals were eluted with low concentration hydrochloric acid (0.01M) and rare metals were eluted with high concentration (0.5M) after the packing of elution unit into fractional elution facility.

Fibrous adsorbent which is synthesized by radiation induced graft polymerization on the trunk polymers such as polymer nonwoven fabrics and woven cloths exhibits an excellent selective adsorption against heavy metal ions and toxic gases at extremely low concentrations. Two equipments were installed to synthesize the metal-ion and gas adsorbents by means of the radiation-induced graft polymerization in the liquid phase and the dipping, respectively. In the reaction chamber of the liquid phase reactor, the oxygen decreased to 100ppm. The inside temperature raised to 80C. These characteristics satisfied the specification. The fabric transport can regulate the rate in the range from 1 to 10m/min. The reactor for the dip grafting could reduce the inside oxygen to 100ppm and inside temperature could reach to 80 C. The grafting of GMA was carried out as a characteristic test. The degree of grafting was controlled in the range from 40 to 70%.

Bifunctional cation exchange fibers were synthesized by co-grafting of chloromethylstylene and styrene. on polyethylene-coated polypropylene fibers. The grafted fibers were fictionalized by Arbuzov reaction, suffonation, and acid hydrolysis. Batchwise evaluation of metal ion selectivity clarified that the bifunctional fiber exhibited cooperative recognition of metal ions by both functional groups. The bifunctional fiber took up Pb(II) more rapidly than the monofunctional phosphoric acid fiber and commercial resin adsorbent. Column-mode experiment revealed that flow rate was independent of break through profiles of Pb(II) up to flow rate of 900 h in space velocity.

Radiation induced graftpolymerization is a sophisticated tool for introducing the aiming functional group into the conventional polymer. Adsorbent having phosphoric acid was directly synthesized by grafting methacrylate monomer having phosphoric acid onto polyethylene nonwoven fabric. Degree of grafting, which was estimated by increment weight after grafting, reached 185 % when the 10 % monomer in the mixture of 10 % methanol and 90 % water was reacted with 200 kGy-irradiated polyethylene nonwoven fabric. The resulting adsorbent revealed that adsorption capacities were 3 mmol/g-adsorbent for Pb and Cd. The removal of these metals could be performed with space velocity of 250 h.

Proton exchange membranes were prepared by the radiation-induced grafting of styrene into crosslinked polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films and subsequent sulfonation. The degree of grafting was controlled in the range of 7-75% by the crosslinking density of the PTFE matrix as well as the grafting conditions. The films at the grafting yield of 30% were found to give the ion exchange membranes with a homogeneous distribution of sulfonic acid groups. The resulting membranes showed a large ion exchange capacity reaching 2.9 meq g, which exceeded the performance of commercially-available perfluorosulfonic acid films such as Nafion. This will encourage the use of our ion exchange membranes in polymer electrolyte fuel cells.
