It has been shown that using the dependence of catalytic activity of ion exchangers on the degree of sulphonation one can infer on the structure of their polymeric skeleton. Using condensation of phenol and acetone yielding Bisphenol A as a test reaction we have been able to distinguish up to four fractions of active groups in a series of ion exchangers of the gel and macroreticular type affected to a different extent by the structure of the surrounding polymer mass.

Catalytic activity of ion exchangers prepared by partial sulphonation of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers in reesterifications of ethyl acetate by methanol and propanol, hydrolysis of ethyl acetate and in synthesis of bisphenol A has been compared with data on polymer structure of these catalysts and with distribution of the crosslinking agent, divinylbenzene, calculated from literature data on kinetics of copolymerisation of styrene with divinylbenzene. It was found that the polymer structure of ion exchangers influences catalytic activity predominantly by changing the local concentration of acid active sites. The results obtained indicated that the effect of transport phenomena on the rate of catalytic reactions does not depend on the degree of swelling of the ion exchangers in reaction medium but it is mainly dependent on the relative affinity of reaction components to the acid groups or to the polymer skeleton.

(1) Background: Iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine with a large nonlinear optical coefficient, good stability, and high catalytic activity has aroused the attention of researchers in the field of photo-Fenton reaction. Further improvement of the visible light photo-Fenton catalytic activity under circumneutral pH conditions for their practical application is still of great importance. (2) Methods: In this paper, iron tetrasulfophthalocyanine (FePcS) and phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) cointercalated layered double hydroxides (LDH) were synthesized by the ion-exchange method. All samples were fully characterized by various techniques and the results showed that FePcS and PMA were successfully intercalated in layered double hydroxides and the resulted compound exhibited strong absorption in the visible light region. The cointercalation compound was tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for the visible light photo-Fenton degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) at circumneutral pH. (3) Results: The results showed that the degradation and total organic carbon removal efficiencies of bisphenol A were 100% and 69.2%, respectively. (4) Conclusions: The cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements demonstrated that the main contribution of PMA to the enhanced photo-Fenton activity of FePcS–PMA–LDH comes from the acceleration of electron transfer in the reaction system. Additionally, the possible reaction mechanism in the photo-Fenton system catalyzed by FePcS–PMA–LDH was also proposed.
