Copolímeros de estireno-divinilbenzeno impregnados com agentes complexantes organofosforados para separação de terras raras Styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers loaded with organophosphorus chelating agents for rare earths separation

Abstract

RESUMO: Copolímeros de estireno-divinilbenzeno para aplicação em cromatografia de extração foram sintetizados em presença de agentes complexantes seletivos para terras raras, o fosfato monoácido de bis(2-etil-hexila), DEHPA e o 2-etil-hexil fosfonato monoácido de 2-etil-hexila, EHEHPA. Os copolímeros foram preparados através de polimerização em suspensão utilizando como diluentes os agentes complexantes puros ou combinados com o solvente tolueno (TOL). A influência das condições de síntese, tais como: a razão agente complexante/TOL; o grau de diluição dos monômeros e o teor de divinilbenzeno, na estrutura porosa dos copolímeros foi investigada através de suas características físicas tais como densidade aparente, volume de poros fixos, área específica e através de microscopia ótica e eletrônica de varredura. Os copolímeros foram avaliados em relação ao processo de separação de terras raras. Assim foram determinadas a capacidade total e a cinética de complexação em relação ao íon gadolínio. O teor de agente complexante impregnado em cada suporte foi função da quantidade do agente complexante nas misturas. Foi otimizada a quantidade máxima do agente complexante que pode ser utilizada na síntese, de modo a obter suportes com alta capacidade de complexação, sem o comprometimento de sua resistência mecânica. A capacidade total de complexação variou com a quantidade de agente complexante impregnado no suporte e a cinética de complexação variou principalmente com o diâmetro médio de poros, pois este determina a velocidade de difusão dos íons no suporte.ABSTRACT: Styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers used in extraction chromatography were synthesized in presence of selective chelating agents for rare earths: DEHPA, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid, and EHEHPA, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphonic acid. The copolymers were prepared by suspension polymerization technique using the pure chelating agents and its mixture with toluene (TOL) as diluents. The influence of synthesis conditions such as chelating agent/TOL ratios, dilution degree of monomers and amount of DVB on the porous structure of the copolymers were studied. The porous structure was characterized by the apparent density, fixed pore volume, surface area and by optical and scanning electron microscopy. The performance of the copolymers in the separation process of rare earths was evaluated. The total chelating capacity of each copolymer and the chelating kinetics in relation to gadolinium ion were determined. The chelating agent content of the copolymers depended on the amount of chelating agents employed in the synthesis. The highest amount of chelating agent that can be used in the synthesis in order to produce copolymers with high chelating capacity and good mechanical properties was determined. The total chelating capacity varied with the content of the chelating agents in the copolymer and the chelating kinetics was dependent mainly on the pore diameter, because this parameter determines the diffusion rate of the ions through the copolymer structure.
