Abstract

The uptakes of molecular iodine and bromine by both strong acid cation (Dowex 50W-X4 and X8) and strong base anion (Dowex 1-X4 and X8) exchange resins have been studied in aqueous solutions at 25 degrees C. An empirical formula for the amount of solute taken up by the resin in mmol per gram of dry resin, Q, as a function of the solute concentration in M (mol dm(-3)), C, was derived. Direct proportional relationships between Q and C have been found, except for the bromine-anion exchanger system. In contrast to the cation-exchange resin, the anion exchanger exhibits extremely high affinity for I(2) and Br(2).
