Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10237601A1] Production of monodisperse gel-type ion exchangers with a particle size of 5-500 mum comprises preparing an uncrosslinked monodisperse seed polymer dispersion with a particle size of 0.5-20 mum by radical polymerization of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers in a nonaqueous solvent, adding and polymerizing an activated styrene-containing monomer mixture, and functionalizing the resulting polymer. Production of monodisperse gel-type ion exchangers with a particle size of 5-500 mum comprises: (a) preparing an uncrosslinked monodisperse seed polymer dispersion with a particle size of 0.5-20 mum by radical polymerization of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers in a nonaqueous solvent; (b) adding, allowing it to soak into the seed polymer dispersion and polymerizing it at elevated temperature, this step being performed in one or more stages with addition of 2-50 wt.% of a crosslinker in the laste stage; and (c) functionalizing the resulting polymer. An Independent claim is also included for monodisperse gel-type ion exchangers produced as above, where functionalization comprises sulfonation to produce cation exchangers or chloromethylation followed by hydrolysis or amination to produce anion exchangers.
