Ion exchange is an adsorption process where ions on an ion exchange resin are replaced by ions in solution. Resins can selectively remove certain ions like calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese from water. Synthetic resins are made of cross-linked polymer networks with attached ionic groups. The selectivity of a resin depends on factors like ionic charge, size and interactions with the resin's functional groups. Resins can be regenerated by contacting the exhausted resin with a solution high in the desired ions to replace the adsorbed ions. However, regeneration is not 100% effective and depends on factors like regenerant concentration and volume.

Adsorption is the process by which atoms or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid adhere to a surface. There are two main types - physical adsorption (physisorption) which involves weak van der Waals forces, and chemical adsorption (chemisorption) which involves stronger chemical bonds. Adsorption is affected by factors like temperature, pressure, surface area and characteristics of the adsorbent and adsorbate. Common commercial adsorbents include activated carbon, silica gel and zeolites. Adsorption isotherms like the Langmuir and Freundlich models describe the distribution of solute between phases at equilibrium. Adsorption has many applications including
Sludge dewatering is a prior process to manage the sludge. The dewatering requires to decrease the volume of sludge for easy handling. It has two methods: Conventional and advance.

Venturi scrubbers are a type of wet scrubber air pollution control device that uses the venturi effect to inject liquid into a high velocity gas stream. They consist of a converging section, throat, and diverging section. Polluted gas enters the converging section and accelerates through the throat where it is mixed with an injected liquid, removing pollutants. Droplets are then separated from the cleaned gas. Venturi scrubbers can effectively remove particles and some gases, have small space needs, and handle high temperature streams, but require high power and can cause corrosion and water disposal issues.
The document discusses cyclonic separators and hydrocyclones. Cyclonic separators use centrifugal force to separate particulate matter from gas streams. Gas enters tangentially and spins rapidly, forcing particles outward against the wall to fall into a collection hopper while clean gas exits through the center. Hydrocyclones separate particles in liquid suspensions based on density and size differences, with denser/coarser particles exiting the bottom and lighter/finer through the top. Both devices have various industrial uses like dust collection and mineral processing.

Ion exchange is a water treatment process that removes ions from water through an exchange of ions between a resin and water. There are cation exchange resins that remove positively charged ions and anion exchange resins that remove negatively charged ions. Ion exchange is commonly used for water softening by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions for sodium or potassium ions held on the resin. The resin becomes exhausted over time and must be regenerated by flushing it with a brine solution to restore the ions on the resin.

Design and Operation of a Distillation Column for the Binary MixtureJonathan Sherwin
This document describes the design and operation of a distillation column to separate a binary mixture of propane and hydrogen sulfide. Equilibrium data was collected for the mixture at various pressures through T-x-y diagrams and calculations of activity coefficients, K-values, and relative volatility. McCabe-Thiele diagrams were constructed for different feed conditions at each pressure using the equilibrium data. The minimum reflux and number of stages were determined for each scenario. A cost analysis found that the lowest average cost of $119.98/kg was achieved with a bubbling point liquid feed at 10 atm operating pressure using 10 stages. Therefore, this operating condition is recommended for maximum profitability in separating the binary mixture using distillation.

Ion exchange chromatography is a separation technique based on charge that can be used to separate a wide range of charged molecules like proteins, nucleotides, and amino acids. It works by exploiting ionic interactions between oppositely charged solute ions and the stationary phase. The stationary phase is typically a resin with covalently attached anions or cations. Cation exchange chromatography retains positively charged molecules, while anion exchange chromatography retains negatively charged molecules. Separation is achieved as molecules are differentially retained on and eluted off the column based on their affinity for the stationary phase. Ion exchange chromatography is widely used for applications like water softening, demineralization, and separation of molecules like amino acids, sugars, and lan

1. Electrolyte solutions conduct electricity due to the presence of ions. Strong electrolytes fully dissociate into ions in solution, while weak electrolytes only partially dissociate.
2. Ion transport in electrolyte solutions occurs through diffusion due to concentration gradients and migration due to applied electric fields. Conductivity and molar conductivity describe how well solutions conduct, and depend on factors like ion type and concentration.
3. At infinite dilution, the limiting molar conductivity of electrolytes can be calculated from the ion mobilities. For concentrated solutions, effects like ion-ion interactions cause conductivity to decrease with concentration.
Adsorption is the process where matter accumulates at the interface between two phases, such as a gas transferring to the surface of a liquid. This occurs due to higher surface energy at interfaces compared to interior molecules. Adsorption equilibria can be modeled using isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and BET, which relate the amount adsorbed to concentration in solution. Factors like adsorbate properties, pH, temperature, and presence of other solutes influence adsorption extent and isotherm shape.

As the name suggests, electrochemistry is the study of changes that cause electrons to move. This movement of electrons is called electricity. In electrochemistry, electricity can be generated by movements of electrons from one element to another in a reaction known as a redox reaction or oxidation-reduction react
The document discusses activity scales and activity corrections used to calculate the effective concentration of ions in solution. It explains that at higher concentrations, ions interact electrostatically and form complexes, behaving as if they are at a lower concentration than their actual molarity. This effective concentration is called the activity. The activity is corrected for by the activity coefficient, which accounts for electrostatic shielding effects. There are two main activity scales used - the infinite dilution scale and the ionic medium scale - which affect calculated equilibrium constants. The document also introduces concepts like ionic strength, mean ion activity coefficients, and speciation calculations used to determine activity coefficients.
Redox Reaction and Electrochemical Cell (Reaksi Redoks dan Sel Elektrokimia)DindaKamaliya
An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous redox reactions. It consists of two half-cells separated by a salt bridge. In the cathode half-cell, reduction occurs as oxidized species gain electrons. In the anode half-cell, oxidation occurs as reduced species lose electrons. Electrons flow through an external circuit from the anode to the cathode. The standard electrode potential of each half-reaction predicts the cell's voltage under standard conditions.
This document provides an introduction to organic reaction mechanisms, focusing on carbanions. It defines carbanions as anions with a negative charge on a carbon atom. Carbanions are formed through heterolytic bond cleavage, removing a proton or other group from a carbon. They are stabilized through various effects, including induction, s-character of the carbon hybrid orbital, resonance, and aromaticity in some cyclic carbanions. Carbanions act as nucleophiles and undergo addition, substitution, and rearrangement reactions. Their configuration depends on conjugation, with unconjugated carbanions being pyramidal and conjugated ones having planar geometry.

Physical Chemistry
1. Electrochemistry deals with the production of electricity from chemical reactions and use of electricity to cause non-spontaneous reactions.
2. Conductors are classified as metallic conductors which allow current by electron movement and electrolytic conductors which allow current through dissolved or molten state with chemical decomposition.
3. Electrolytes are classified as strong which completely dissociate and weak which partially dissociate. Conductivity is directly proportional to concentration and inversely proportional to length.
Ion exchange chromatography uses ion exchange resins to separate ionic compounds based on competition for binding sites on the resin. Cation exchange resins contain negatively charged functional groups like sulfonic acid that bind positively charged cations from solution. Anion exchange resins contain positively charged functional groups like quaternary ammonium that bind negatively charged anions. Eluting solutions with varying salt concentrations are used to displace bound ions from the resin selectively. Ion exchange chromatography finds application in water softening and analysis of ions in environmental and biological samples.

3. Applications of ion exchange in water & wastewater
• Ca, Mg (hardness removal) exchange with Na or H.
• Fe, Mn removal from groundwater.
• Recovery of valuable waste products Ag, Au, U
• Demineralization (exchange all cations for H all
anions for OH)
• Removal of NO3
, NH4
, PO4
(nutrient removal).
4. Ion Exchangers (types)
• Natural: Proteins, Soils, Lignin, Coal, Metal
oxides, Aluminosilicates (zeolites)
(NaOAl2
O3
.
4SiO2
).
• Synthetic zeolite gels and most common
-polymeric resins (macroreticular, large pores).
5. Polymeric resins are made in 3-D networks by
cross-linking hydrocarbon chains. The resulting
resin is insoluble, inert and relatively rigid. Ionic
functional groups are attached to this framework.
6.
7. These resins are generally manufactured by
polymerizing neutral organic molecules such as
sytrene (to form polystrene) and then cross-linked
with divinyl benzene (DVB). Functional groups are
then added according to the intended use. For
example the resin can be sulfonated by adding
sulfuric acid to get the structure shown above.
11. Resin classification:
Resins are classified based on the type of
functional group they contain and their % of cross-
linkages
Cationic Exchangers:
- Strongly acidic – functional groups derived from
strong acids e.g., R-SO3
H (sulfonic).
- Weakly acidic – functional groups derived from
weak acids, e.g., R-COOH (carboxylic).
12. Anionic Exchangers:
- Strongly basic – functional groups derived
from quaternary ammonia compounds, R-N-
OH.
- Weakly basic - functional groups derived
from primary and secondary amines, R-
NH3
OH or R-R’-NH2
OH.
13. Selectivity Coefficients
Preference for ions of particular resins is often
expressed through an equilibrium relationship
using the selectivity coefficient. The coefficient is
described below.
For the exchange of A+
in solution for B+
on the
resin:
14. ABBA +↔+ ++
The barred terms indicate location on the resin
(resin phase) as opposed to solution phase.
15. For this exchange an operational equilibrium
constant can be defined.

The superscript and subscript on the selectivity
coefficient indicate the direction of the reaction. The
superscript is the reaction side and the subscript is the
product side of the exchange reaction.
16. Selectivity coefficients are reported for various
resins and various exchangeable ions. Selectivity
coefficients can be combined to give a variety of
new selectivity coefficients.
For example:

resin (bulk volume basis).
[A], [B]
19. This selectivity coefficient is not quite a
thermodynamically defined equilibrium constant
because of the strange choice of concentration
units and the lack of activity corrections. So it is
clearly an operational equilibrium constant.
20. Factors which affect the selectivity coefficient:
For a given resin type ion selectivity is a function
of ionic charge and hydrated radius and functional
group-ion chemical interactions.
In most cases the higher the ionic charge the
higher the affinity for a site.
21. The smaller the hydrated radius of the ion the greater
the affinity. This depends on the % cross-linkage of
the resin. The reason that hydrated radius has an
effect on selectivity is that macro-reticular pore
spaces have limited volume as determined by %
cross-linkage. Some exchanged ions can actually
cause a swelling of the resin (it’s relatively
deformable). The swelling causes a backpressure that
reduces the preference for ions with larger hydrated
radii.
22. An example of this phenomenon is shown here for
Li and Ag (Ag has a smaller hydrated radius).
Numerical values are relative affinity, not selectivity
coefficients.
4% 8% 16%
Li+
1 1 1
Ag+
4.73 8.51 22.9
% Crosslink
23. By increasing the cross-linkages Ag+
is selected
for adsorption (exchanged because of its smaller
hydrated radius). Note that the absolute amount
adsorbed for both Ag and Li will be lower with
more cross-linkages, however there is a relative
advantage for Ag.
24. In some cases there are more than electrostatic forces
holding the ion to the functional group of the resin.
For example for weakly acid functional groups such as
carboxylic groups, hydrogen bonding is partially
responsible for attracting H+
ions. Another example is
the strong bonding between Ca and PO4
when PO4
is
used for a functional group.
All these factors show up in the apparent selectivity
coefficient.
25. The selectivity coefficient is only applicable
over a narrow range of concentrations
because the activity coefficients vary with
concentration.
26. Because we need to maintain a charge balance
during the ion exchange process it is more
convenient to express concentration of ions as
equivalents instead of molar concentration.
Therefore, we define:
C = total concentration of exchangeable ions in the
liquid phase (eq/L).
27. For example,
if Ca2+
and Na+
are the only exchanged ions.
C = [Na+
] + 2[Ca2+
]
= total concentration of exchangeable sites
on resin . This is also known as the “exchange
capacity” (eq/L of bulk volume). We can now
define "equivalent fraction" for each ion in each
phase.

33. In this form the equation gives the amount
exchanged as a function of the amount in
solution. It is very useful for process design
as demonstrated below.
34. Exchange Isotherms -
Isotherms are an alternative to describing
equilibrium by selectivity coefficients.
These isotherms have the same format as
those for carbon adsorption. i.e., Langmuir,
Freundlich, etc.
35. In spite of the non-constant selectivity coefficient,
calculations can be made with these coefficients to
estimate process limits. Note that the most
vulnerable (non-constant) selectivity coefficients
are for those resins that have weak acid or base
functional groups. These functional groups will
protonate and de-protonate as a function of the
solution pH as opposed to strong acid-base
functional groups that tend to be fully
deprotonated or protonated at most pH values.
36. Kinetics versus equilibrium.
Ion exchange adsorption is much faster
than carbon adsorption and as a result we
can use equilibrium assumption in design
calculations.
37. Suppose we want to remove NO-
3
by ion
exchange on a strong base anionic resin of
the Cl-
form. The resin has the following
characteristics:

39. Determine how much water can be treated per ft3
of
resin before the bed is exhausted. Assume
equilibrium for the resin.
First we need to determine at equilibrium
with the influent (need to estimate the column
capacity relative to the influent composition).

41. Solve this equation for . This
value (0.66) represents the maximum fraction
of resin sites that can be occupied by NO-

these influent conditions. When this fraction

43. The effluent concentration of nitrate will be
practically zero until breakthrough occurs if the
column were initially fully charged with chloride,
since is practically zero at the effluent end
of the column. There are some other design
factors that have to be considered though, namely
leakage and regeneration extent. These are
discussed next.

44. Regeneration
Spent or exhausted columns must be regenerated
because of the cost of the resin would make one-
time use prohibitive. Since ion exchange is a very
reversible process regeneration can be
accomplished by manipulation of solution
composition.
45. Example:
A spent column used to remove Ca2+
is to be
regenerated in a batch process to the Na+
form. A
strong brine (mostly NaCl) is contacted with the
exhausted resin to replace Ca with Na. The
composition of the brine (regenerant) after
equilibrating with the exhausted resin is:
NaCl = 2 eq/L (117 g/L)
CaCl2
= 0.2 eq/L (11 g/L)
46. Most of the Ca is from the spent column. Na in
the fresh brine would have been slightly higher
than 2 eq/L.
For this resin:

49. Only 76.5% regeneration can be accomplished
with this regenerant because even small amounts
of Ca can have a significant effect because of the
high selectivity coefficient in favor of Ca. To get
higher regeneration need to make the NaCl
concentration higher or make the total volume of
regenerant higher to dilute the Ca that comes off
the exhausted column . Both options cost money
and there needs to be a tradeoff evaluated between
higher column utilization and more costly
regeneration. To formalize this trade-off problem
define the following.
50. Theoretical or total capacity = (eq/L of bulk
volume).
Degree of column utilization = fraction or
percent of actually used during an
exhaustion cycle. This is the difference between
the fresh capacity (generally less than ) and
the capacity at the end of the exhaustion cycle
compared to .
Operating exchange capacity = (degree of
column utilization) x (eq/L of resin).

51. Regeneration efficiency: ratio of actual
regenerant (equivalents) exchanged divided by
equivalents of regenerant applied times 100
(%).
The following example shows how all this
works.
52. Assume we have a 1-liter column initially
exhausted with Ca2+
. Assume that ,
although in reality it’s likely to be less than this.
For example, in the NO-
3
/Cl-
problem above
exhaustion occurred at . This number
depends on the selectivity coefficient and the
influent composition). Regenerate with 1 liter of
Na+

59. One of the consequences of incomplete regeneration
is leakage. Leakage occurs at the beginning of the
exhaustion cycle because there is still Ca2+
(continuing with the same example) on the resin. As
water passes through the column, Ca2+
is removed at
the influent end of the column so that as this water
passes toward the effluent end of the column it is
free of Ca2+
and therefore pulls Ca2+
off the relatively
high Ca resin. This leakage is generally short-lived
but can make portions of the product water
unacceptable.
