Uptake of Alkanes and Alcohols by Ion-Exchange Resins in Aqueous Solution

抄録

Uptake of alkane (C₅ - C₉) and alcohol (C₄ - C₇) solutes by both strong acid cation exchange resins and strong base anion exchange resins in aqueous medium has been studied. The amount of solute taken up by resins is directly proportional to the solute concentration equilibrium with resins. Hydrophobic interaction between the solute and the resin matrix appears to play an important role in the uptake phenomenon.
