Sorption materials based on N-2-sulfoethylchitosan (SECH) with various degrees of cross-linking by glutaric aldehyde were synthesized. The composition and structure of the materials were characterized by elemental analysis and IR Fourier spectroscopy. The selectivity coeffi cients K Ag/Cu were determined for sorbents with a degree of substitution equal to 0.5. It was shown that the sorption selectivity of silver(I) grows with increasing degree of SECH cross-linking, compared with copper(II) in an ammonia-acetate buffer solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
