METHOD OF OBTAINING CARBOXYLIC CATION EXCHANGE RESIN Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C08F220/06 C08F220/44 C08F212/36 C08F8/12 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention pertains to the field of obtaining subacid carboxylic cation exchange resins with a macro-porous structure. The engineering problem is the obtaining of a subacid carboxylic cation exchange resin with high values of capacity and strength characteristics: full exchange capacity of not less than 2.5 mg Eq/cm³, dynamic exchange capacity of not less than 1600 g Eq/m, and osmotic stability of not less than 98%. High capacity and strength characteristics can be achieved due to the structure of the polymer matrix and conditions for obtaining it. A method is proposed for obtaining the subacid carboxylic cation exchange resin though radical suspension copolymerisation of acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate with divinyl benzene as a cross-agent, taken in percentage mass quantities of 9-12 % at concentration of 50-60 %, in the suspension medium in the presence of sponging agents (alkyl benzene, aviation kerosene) in percentage volume quantities of 40 % of the volume of monomers during heating and sustaining at 50°C temperature for 2 hours, 61°C for 2 hours, 65°C for 3 hours, 70°C for 2 hours, with subsequent basic hydrolysis of the nitrile group using a 25 % water solution of caustic sodium with gradual increase in temperature from 50°C to 110°C and sustenance at temperature of 110°C for a period of 10 hours.

EFFECT: obtaining of a subacid carboxylic cation exchange resin with high values of capacity and strength characteristics.
