METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COMPLEX-FORMING SORBENT FOR SELECTIVE EXTRACTION OF INDIUM

摘要

The invention relates to the field of ion exchange with the formation of a complex or chelate by using complex-forming polymers and can be used in nonferrous metallurgy and hydrometallurgy of indium for extraction of indium from wastewaters, as well as in the chemical industry and for producing special-purity substances.;A method for producing a complex-forming sorbent for selective extraction of indium is proposed, wherein the method comprises the introduction of gem-diphosphonic functional groups, and wherein, in order to increase the selectivity and sorption capacity for indium, the gem-diphosphonic functional groups are introduced by the treatment of a spherically granulated cross-linked macroporous acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymer with phosphorous acid at temperature of from 140 to 160° C. for from 13 to 35 hours. In the presence of a diluent (chlorobenzene), the method is carried out at a temperature of between 100 and 130° C.;The technical result is to introduce gem-diphosphonic functional groups by the treatment of spherically granulated cross-linked macroporous acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymer with phosphorous acid, which simplifies the method for production and increases capacity and selectivity of the synthesized sorbent for indium, thus improving a complex of the application properties of the material.
