Notes:
Summary Poly(vinyl chloride) has been modified chemically to a cation exchange resin by halogen displacement reactions with phenol sulfonic acid, bisphenol-A sulfonic acid and phenolpthalein sulfonic acid. Ion-exchange capacity, salt-splitting capacity and pH-titration characteristics of these resins have been evaluated. pH-titration behaviour of these resins is consistent with that of a polyfunctional cation-exchanger having pK1=2 and pK2=9–10 corresponding to -SO3H and phenolic-OH groups respectively. The ion-exchange capacity values are comparable in magnitude to those of polystyrene based commercial cation-exchangers such as Amberlite IR-120 and Dowex-50.
