Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method of obtaining composite ion exchangers by implanting active inorganic sorbents into a matrix of an organic carrier. The inorganic sorbents are ferrocynides of various metals, hydrated antimony pentoxide, zirconium or titanium phosphates, and natural or synthetic zeolites. The matrix of the composite sorbents is a resin formed from formaldehyde cross-linked sulphonated phenols. Powdered inorganic sorbent is added to the reaction mixture in the process of polycondensation of the matrix. The main advantages of the obtained composite sorbents are improved mechanical stability and the spherical shape of the sorbent beads, decreased solubility of the inorganic component in water, and relatively fast kinetics of the ion exchange process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A method of obtaining composite ion exchanger comprising a matrix of an organic carrier which is a cation exchange resin and an inorganic ion exchanger, comprising adding with mixing an active, powdered inorganic ion exchanger to the process of polycondensation of compounds selected from the group consisting of sulphonated phenols and from the group consisting of aldehydes thereby forming a suspension and dispersing the suspension into small drops which harden to form spherical beads.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
74 words
A method of obtaining composite ion exchanger comprising a matrix of an organic carrier which is a cation exchange resin and an inorganic ion exchanger, comprising adding with mixing an active, powdered inorganic ion exchanger to the process of polycondensation of compounds selected from the group consisting of sulphonated phenols and from the group consisting of aldehydes thereby forming a suspension and dispersing the suspension into small drops which harden to form spherical beads.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method as in claim 1 wherein the inorganic ion exchanger is selected from the group consisting of ferrocyanides of cobalt, iron, nickel, copper, manganese, zinc, titanium, cadmium, zirconium, chromium, vanadium, lead, molybdenum.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method as in claim 1 wherein the inorganic ion exchanger is hydrated antimony pentoxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method as in claim 1 wherein the inorganic ion exchanger is a phosphate of titanium or zirconium.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method as in claim 1 wherein the inorganic ion exchanger is selected from the group consisting of natural or synthetic zeolites.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
