Abstract

The possibility of using an inorganic sorbent of iron oxyhydrate (IOH) for the removal of F ions from process solutions of zinc production is considered. The synthesis method of IOH is chosen. The results of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis are presented. The possibility in principle of using ion-exchange resins as carriers modified by IOH is considered. The formation of an active substance on anion-exchange and cation-exchange resins is investigated. It is shown that the strongest composite sorbents are formed when using strong acidic cation-exchange resins with sulfonate groups. The method of IOH incorporation into the structure of carrier materials and the formation of composite sorbents is described. The KU-2×8 cation exchanger is recommended as the composite basis. To form IOH crystals of the β-modification distributed over the ion-exchanger grain bulk, iron-saturated cation exchangers are held in the sodium chloride solution with a concentration of 2.5 g/dm3 for 24 h at 85°C. Anion exchangers are held in the iron(III) sulfate solution with the sodium chloride additive for 24 h at t = 85°C. Herewith, the formation of IOH films on the surface of sorbent grains is observed. The fluorine was sorbed in a static mode from a model solution with the concentration of F = 100 mg/dm3 at t = 60°C. The sorption on the AV-17×8 anion exchanger is performed at t = 20°C. Adsorbed fluorine is desorbed by the 0.1 M NaOH solution at t = 60°C for 2 h. The synthesized KU-2×8-IOH composite sorbent has a capacity of 0.7–1.1 mg/g with respect to fluorine and can be regenerated with the formation of easily utilizable fluorine-containing eluate.
