Synthesis of sorbents

The development of highly seleetive sorbents for medieine, ehemistry, eeology, bioteehnology is impossible without usage of methods of analytieal ehemistry. Among various approaehes direeted on inerease of sensitivity of analytieal methods of traees elements determination, for example, in water solutions sorption methods play an important role. The nature of sorption eenters are of great importanee at synthesis of sorbents with multifunetional properties. 

The method of adsorption capillary column preparation by means of in situ synthesis of sorbents is only applicable to a limited number of adsorbents, but it does allow two problems to be solved simultaneously 1) sorbent formation 2) binding of a sorbent to the inside surface of capillary.

The synthesis of the packing materials is done by experienced polymer chemists using standardized equipment and procedures. PSS takes special care in cleaning the sorbents after polymerization to achieve constant quality and surface chemistry characteristics. Each production step is checked separately for quality control conformity. 

The microwave technique has also been found to be a potential method for the preparation of the catalysts containing highly dispersed metal compounds on high-porosity materials. The process is based on thermal dispersion of active species, facilitated by microwave energy, into the internal pore surface of a microporous support. Dealuminated Y zeolite-supported CuO and CuCl sorbents were prepared by this method and used for S02 removal and industrial gas separation, respectively [5], The results demonstrated the effective preparation of supported sorbents by micro-wave heating. The method was simple, fast, and energy-efficient, because the synthesis of both sorbents required a much lower temperature and much less time compared with conventional thermal dispersion. 

Developments of sorbent materials for high-temperature C02 removal from synthesis gas and their utilization as SERPs appears attractive, however, the development scale may be considered as laboratory/bench scale.

Nanocrystalline oxides have exceptionally high reactivity with respect to halocarbons. First of all, the temperature of their reaction with halocarbons is much lower than observed for bulk analogs. It is thus possible to carry out destructive adsorption reactions at fairly low temperatures. This is especially important for the development of effective destructive sorbents for neutralization of toxic compounds at mild temperatures. We have also demonstrated that nanocrystalline oxides can be used as precursors for the synthesis of novel halogenated nanocrystalline materials. 

We should remember that low temperature zeolite synthesis started with Milton s gel synthesis of A and X in the early 1950 s(l). Large pore zeolites were substantially unavailable at that time. Natural faujasite was rare as it still is. Large port mordenite was still ten years in the future as were zeolites L and Omega. Zeolites were regarded as ion exchangers or as selective sorbents, not as catalysts. 

The synthesis of C2-nonsymmetric clathrochelate iron(II) dioximates was realized through a stepwise assembling on the sorbent surface (Scheme 11). 

In R sia many researchers focused their efforts on the development of technology for the synthesis of porous materials from hydrolytic lignin, and certain results have been achieved in the field. According to some publications, not only common sorbents production was tried to solve environmental problems [7,S], but also the synthesis of soibents for special purposes, in particular for gas mixtures separation [9].
