C. Jerome et al., CONTROLLED EXCHANGE OF METALLIC CATIONS BY A POLYPYRROLE-BASED RESIN, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 95(6), 1998, pp. 1475-1478
This work shows that the binding and the release of Cs+, Ba2+, La3+ an
d Th4+ cations can be controlled by the application of a potential to
a polypyrrole doped with polystyrene sulfonate exchange-resin. Radiome
tric and nuclear techniques were carried out to characterize the rever
sibility of the process in relation with the exchanged-cation charge.
