Spongy Hydrogels of Cyanobacterial Polyanions Mediate Energy-Saving Electrolytic Metal-Refinement / Maiko K. Okajima in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 51 N° 25 (Juin 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 51 N° 25 (Juin 2012) . - pp. 8704-8707 Titre : Spongy Hydrogels of Cyanobacterial Polyanions Mediate Energy-Saving Electrolytic Metal-Refinement Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Maiko K. Okajima, Auteur ; Masatoshi Nakamura, Auteur ; Tetsuya Ogawa, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 8704-8707 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Energy  conservation Résumé : The freeze-drying of anionic megamolecules extracted from gelatinous cyanobacteria, Aphanothece sacrum, formed spongy materials capable of metal adsorption to form hydrogels. Cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that thicker nanofibers were formed in sacran/In3+ complexes than in sacran/Sn4+. The preferential sorption of In3+ into the hydrogels occurred in the mixed solution of In3+ and Sn4+ with concentrations below 40 mM. Since In3+ was condensed in the sponges, electrolytic refinement of indium was made using the ion-complex hydrogels at room temperature to obtain indium metal foil at a pure grade over 99.9%. Furthermore, the sponges were recovered and used again, to successfully obtain highly pure indium metal, in even the second and third trials. Thus epochal energy-saving methods for indium refinement were established using spongy hydrogels of cyanobacterial polyanions.
