The Stability of Ion Exchangers towards Nitric Acid and Radiation. I. Nitrosative Cleavage of the Iminodiacetic Acid Groups in Chelating Ion ExchangersThe behaviour of the chelating ion exchangers Wofatit MC 50, Dowex A 1 and Chelex 100 with aminoacetic acid - and iminodiacetic acid-groups towards nitric acid in the range of the concentration 1…10,5 mol/l and at temperatures ≤68°C was determined. It is found that the COOH capacity and the N content are rapidly reduced leading to the formation of CO2 and N2. If the exposure to HNO3 continues there is again a rise in the COOH capacity.The i.r.- and mass spectra show that the iminodiacetic acid-groups are destroyed by nitrosative cleavage and CHO groups result, which are then oxidized to COOH groups. The mass spectrum shows that the aminoacetic acid-groups of the resin are nitrosated, which has also been confirmed by the use of nitric acid labelled with 15N.
