提案编号：9729046提案类型：EPA-NSF联合倡议，1997年，首席研究员：Daniel T. Schwartz所属机构：华盛顿大学该基金通过化学和运输系统分部界面、传输和分离项目的分离和净化项目子项目授予。首席研究员是华盛顿大学的Daniel T. Schwartz。该研究旨在利用金属六氰高铁酸盐（HCF）衍生电极开发一种新型环境友好型离子交换剂。在这些材料中，铁的氧化态在铁态和亚铁态之间进行电位调制。通过调节电荷密度，电极表现为离子交换材料，允许其他阳离子加载到电极或洗脱到溶液中。PI试图研究各种离子的这种行为，以确定交换效率和负载能力。基础研究包括使用原位成像拉曼光谱和光电化学来表征离子交换过程。这项研究将对环境友好型离子交换工艺的发展具有技术意义。所使用的材料是无害的，并且易于通过电位调制再生，而不是用于再生传统离子交换树脂的化学方法。由于离子交换过程在食品、制药、核能和化学工业中无处不在，因此环境友好型离子交换过程的发展将对这些行业的过程运行产生重大影响。

Abstract Proposal No: 9729046 Proposal Type: EPA-NSF Joint Initiative, 1997 Principal Investigator: Daniel T. Schwartz Affiliation: University of Washington This grant is awarded through the Separations and Purification Program sub-element of the Interfacial, Transport and Separations Program of the Chemical and Transport Systems Division. The principal investigator is Daniel T. Schwartz at the University of Washington. The research is directed towards the development of a new class of environmentally benign ion exchangers using metal hexacyanoferrate (HCF) derivatized electrodes. In these materials, the oxidation state of iron is potential modulated between the ferric and ferrous state. By thus modulating the charge density, the electrode behaves as an ion exchange material allowing other cations to load into the electrode or elute out into solution. The PI seeks to study this behavior for a variety of ions to determine exchange efficiency and loading capacities. Fundamental studies include using in-situ imaging Raman spectroscopy and photoelectrochemistry to characterize the ion-exchange process. The research will have technological implications in the development of environmentally benign ion exchange processes. The materials used are innocuous, and easily regenerable through potential modulation rather than the chemical methods used to regenerate conventional ion-exchange resins. Since ion exchange processes are ubiquitous in the food, pharmaceutical, nuclear and chemical industries, the development of environmentally benign ion exchange processes will have a major impact on process operation in these industries.
