Modelling the sorption of water–ethanol mixtures in cross-linked ionic and neutral polymers (original) (raw)

Abstract

Water–ethanol sorption in strong sulfonated polystyrene cation-exchangers, in weak acrylic cation-exchangers and in neutral cross-linked dextran gels as well as their elastic properties have been measured. The effect of polymer matrix and cross-link density have been studied. The ionic resins were mainly in the Na+ form. The data have been analyzed by means of thermodynamic mixing models based on the
