Pyrones-based chelating resins, methods for their preparation and methods for impurity removal

Abstract

The application relates to a pyrone-based chelating resin, a preparation method thereof and a method for removing impurities. The main chain skeleton of the pyrone-based chelating resin is a styrene-based adsorption resin, and at least one pyrone functional group is branched on the side chain. The multi-oxygen structure of the pyrone functional group and the nitrogen atom on the main chain skeleton can produce strong coordination with aluminum ions, and a stable six-membered ring chelate is formed through a chelation reaction, thereby showing excellent selective aluminum removal performance. Meanwhile, the pyrone functional group has acid-base properties, can undergo ion exchange reaction or physical adsorption with organic matters, and thus can effectively remove TOC in a water environment. Therefore, by using the pyrone-based chelating resin provided in the application, the aluminum ions and TOC in a rare earth solution can be efficiently removed through the synergistic cooperation of the multi-oxygen coordination effect and the selective ion exchange capacity, and the loss rate of the rare earth ions is obviously reduced.
