The X-ray flourescence analysis induced by small radioisotopic sources has been employed for the study of the ion-exchange resins kinetics. The advantages offered by this technique over other commonly used methods are (a) variations in the concentration of ions in the resin-bead can be determined without sample taking; and (b) automatic measurements lasting a few seconds provide a check on process trends. The ions trapped in the resin-bead, in various zones of the column, can be expressed analytically, and the result is in good agreement with what can be deduced from a simplified model based on the hypothesis that the exchange process is controlled by diffusion of ions from solution to resin.

Abstract
The X-ray flourescence analysis induced by small radioisotopic sources has been employed for the study of the ion-exchange resins kinetics. The advantages offered by this technique over other commonly used methods are (a) variations in the concentration of ions in the resin-bead can be determined without sample taking; and (b) automatic measurements lasting a few seconds provide a check on process trends. The ions trapped in the resin-bead, in various zones of the column, can be expressed analytically, and the result is in good agreement with what can be deduced from a simplified model based on the hypothesis that the exchange process is controlled by diffusion of ions from solution to resin.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
