INVESTIGATION OF THE PROCESS OF TARTARIC ACID SEPARATION ON AMBERLITE XAD2 IMPREGNATED WITH AMBERLITE LA-2

Abstract

This work describes an investigation of the process of reactive ion-exchange separation of tartaric acid from model systems with macroreticular resin AmberliteXAD2 impregnated with liquid ion-exchanger Amberlite LA-2 in batch equipment.The condition of Amberlite XAD2 impregnation process was investigated. Freudlichand Langmuir equations were verified and values of enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy were calculated. This article is an extended abstract of a communicationpresented at the Conference Ecological Chemistry 2012.
