Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction: A Series of Advances, Volume 14 (Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction)

This text introduces a special class of polymeric ligand exchanger (PLE) with high affinities for anionic ligands. Volume 14 discusses the potential and advantages of micro- and nanofiltration membrane processes for removal of metals; details prevailing equilibrium relationships and supporting experimental data for systems where leaching and ion exchange take place simultaneously; covers cases of uranium cation and gold cyanide anion bisorption and modelling of engineered systems. Introduces a special class of polymeric ligand exchanger (PLE) with high affinities for anionic ligands. This volume discusses the potential and advantages of micro- and nanofiltration membrane processes for removal of metals. It covers cases of uranium cation and gold cyanide anion bisorption and modelling of engineered systems. The importance of multifunctionality in the preparation of ion-selective polymers is evident from the structure of enzymes where specific metal ions are bound through cooperative interactions among different amino acids.
