ESTIMATION OF FIBER-FORMING ABILITY OF CHITOSAN BY PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF ITS SOLUTIONS

The paper discusses the results of studying the physicochemical properties of a concentrated acetic-acid solution of chitosan with a stabilized agent added (0.05% of the solution weight), which enables a high fiber-forming ability of the polymer to be revealed. The process of fiber formation from chitosan solution under the action of an electric high-intense field was estimated qualitatively and quantitatively. Chitosan fibers with an average diameter of 280 nm have been obtained, their size-distribution function has been plotted.

Solid-phase sorbents based on synthetic nanofibers and glauconite for extracting magneson I from aqueous media

A comparative evaluation of the sorption capacity of synthetic and natural sorbents with respect to phenol and some of its derivatives has been carried out. Electrospun nanofi bers based on polyamide-6 (PA-6) were obtained under optimal conditions from a spinning solution of a polymer dissolved in a mixture of formic and acetic acids. The preparation of the clay mineral by the sieve method has been carried out, while the enriched fraction of glauconite (200–500 microns) has been isolated.
