It is observed that the absorption phenomena of
p-chlorophenol by poly-ester fibre from its hexane solution are very similar to that of phenol by 6 nylon fibre from its aqueous solution. These phenomenaa are summarized as follows.
(1) In the case of a low concentration of
p-chlorophenol, the
p-chlorophenol is distributed between, the fibre phase and the hexane phase by the partition law.
(2) Above 0.025g/cc. sol. of
p-chlorophenol, the value of the partition coefficient increases.
(3) Above 0.045g/cc. sol. of
p-chlorophenol, the amount of
p-chlorophenol absorbed by the fibre increases rapidly and the fibre changes into “Bodenkörper”.
(4) Above 0.05g/cc, sol. of
p-chlorophenol, the
p-chlorophenol is distributed between the poly-esterphase and the hexane phase by the partition law.
(5) During immersion of the fibre in the solution of a certain range of concentration, the amount. of
p-chlorophenol absorbed had a maximum value.
(6) The amount of total swelling of the fibre in the
p-chlorophenol-hexane solution is equal to the amount of
p-chlorophenol absorbed by the fibre.
It is concluded that the absorption mechanism of
p-chlorophenol by poly-ester fibre from its hexane solution is very similar to that of phenol by 6 nylon fibre from its aqueous solution. The estimation method of the lateral-order distribution in poly-ester fibre which is same, in principle, to that method for 6 nylon fibre, is proposed. A few examples of measurement are given.
