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%.

Fibrous metal adsorbent having iminodiacetic acid was synthesized by radiation-induced grafting glycidyl methacrylate on nonwoven fabric and subsequent chemical treatment. The degree of grafting calculated by increasing weight after grafting reached 170 % for reaction time of 2h at 40 C. The adsorption characteristics of ferric and manganese ions were evaluated by using the resulting adsorbent with 2.1 mmol/g-adsorbent function group of iminodiacetic acid. Each distribution coefficient of ferric and manganese ion deceased with increase of another coexist ion. Both ferric and manganese ions were completely removed by the adsorbent column at the space velocity of 1000h. Adsorption capacities of both ions were reduced to 80% after 5 times reputation of adsorption and desorption.

Times Cited Count:71 Percentile:96.44(Chemistry, Physical)Graft polymerization and crosslinking in radiation processing were attractive techniques to modify conventional polymers. In the case of graftpolymerization, metal adsorbent was prepared by introducing the chelate function to trunk polymer like polyethylene. The obtained metal adsorbent was applied to the recovery of uranium in seawater. Three years' marine experiment revealed that 1kg of uranium could be collected by using graft-adsorbent. Natural polymers such as derivatives of starch and cellulose led irradiation crosslinking at paste-like condition and formed hydrogels. These hydrogels had degradability even after crosslinking. The mat of degradable hydrogel was effective to prevent bedsores as a healthcare product. After use, the hydrogel can be converted to fertilizer by decompositions.

Fibrous chelate adsorbents have been synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization onto polyethylene nonwoven fabric. Graft polymerization was induced by electron beam irradiation to the trunk polymer. Then, irradiated trunk polymer was contacted with reactive monomer having function of chelate agent or its precursor. The precursor was chemically converted to chelate agent. The resulting fibrous chelate adsorbent gave the high space velocity more than 500 h in removal of lead from its solution. Such adsorbent was applied to the removal of cadmium from scallop processing waste and the removal of lead from the contaminated water which was produced by washing the inside of incinerator.

Radiation induced graft-polymerization is sophisticated technique which is capable of introducing aiming functions into conventional polymers. Especially, pre-irradiation method is available for industrialization owing to discrete processes of irradiation and grafting. The chelate adsorbents having high selectivity against metals were synthesized by the graft-polymerization. The recovery of uranium from seawater and the removal of toxic metals from wastewater were described as applicable examples of the graft adsorbents.
