The rapidly increasing demand for technologies aiming to resolve challenges of separations and environmental protection causes a sharp increase in the demand for ion exchange (IX) and chelating polymers. These unique materials can offer target-selective adsorption properties vital for the removal or recovery of harmful and precious materials, where trace concentrations thereof make other techniques insufficient. Hence, recent achievements in syntheses of IX and chelating resins designed and developed in our research group are discussed within this mini-review. The aim of the present work is to reveal that, due to the diversified and unique physiochemical characteristics of the proposed materials, they are not limited to traditional separation techniques and could be used in multifunctional areas of applications, including catalysis, heat management, and biomedicine.

In order to improve ammonia removal capability from wastewater, zeolite was modified with heat and biofilm in this paper. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of heat modified zeolite could be reach mean value of 120.18meq/100g, which was 1.55 times than virgin zeolite. The results of bench scale experiments also showed that the data in the experiments were in line with Langmuir isotherms for ammonium ion absorbed onto heat modified zeolite. Moreover the biofilm which attached on the surface of heat modified zeolite only modified the surface feature of modified zeolite, while ion-exchange and diffusion procedure were not affected.

Chitosan sulfate was prepared and characterized as a new chromatography media for protein separation. The degree of sulfonation of chitosan could be well controlled and impacted under conditions in the synthesis process. The prepared chitosan sulfate shows improved binding capacity with proteins. Sulfonated chitosan shows improved ion-exchange adsorption properties with proteins, which could have good potential in protein purification.
