- Ion exchanger flows, the direction from bottom to top.
- the regeneration is shown in Fig. Lb in the second drawing from the left.
- the purpose of the regenerant is to replace the ions retained by the ion exchange resin with H + to regenerate the ion exchange resin.
- the concentration of ions originally retained by the ion exchange resin increases while the concentration of H + decreases. That means that
- the capacity of the regenerant becomes weaker as it flows through the ion exchanger for regeneration. Accordingly, the regeneration is on the side where the regenerant leaves the ion exchanger and is disposed of as waste,
- the sulfosuccinic acid solution thus prepared is used as sulfosuccinic acid material for the production of the absorber or superabsorbent according to the invention.
- desalting may be carried out by means of a membrane separation process. As a result, a desalination with little time and resources is possible.
- the aqueous solution of sulfosuccinic acid prepared using sulfite salts of sodium and therefore containing sodium ions is acidified with a strong acid and the solution is removed by removing the sodium salt of this acid from the solution by means of a salt or ions of that salt Desalted membrane. If the acidification is carried out with hydrochloric acid, for example, the membrane must be permeable at least to Na + and Cl "
- Sulfobemstemklareans is used as sulfosuccinic acid material for the production of the absorber or superabsorber according to the invention.

- reaction vessel was filled with 100 ml of water and sulfur dioxide at
- Reaction mixture cooled to room temperature and the reaction vessel carefully relaxed. The reaction mass was then refluxed for two hours in the atmosphere. 117 g of a clear aqueous solution of sulfosuccinic acid having a sulfosuccinic acid content of 14.6% by weight were obtained. This solution was then rotary evaporated to a solution having a sulfosuccinic acid content of 70% by weight in vacuo. Subsequently, the sodium content of this solution was determined by means of ICP-AAS. It was less than 5 ppm.
- reaction vessel was filled with 130 ml of water and sulfur dioxide at
- reaction vessel was filled with 500 ml of water and sulfur dioxide at
- Reaction vessel remained constant. The introduction of sulfur dioxide was continued until the thin-layer chromatography analysis showed no starting material. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the reaction vessel was gently decompressed. The reaction mass was then heated in the atmosphere for two hours at the reflux. 600 g of a clear aqueous solution of sulfosuccinic acid having a sulfosuccinic acid content of 16.8% by weight were obtained. This solution was rotary evaporated to a solution containing sulfosuccinic acid content of 70% by weight. Subsequently, the sodium content of this solution was determined by means of ICP-AAS. It was less than 5 ppm.
- Reaction solutions from Example 4 were acidified to pH 1 with 20% strength by weight sulfuric acid and pressed through a nanofiltration membrane (SR3D Koch Membrane Systems) at a pressure of 10 bar.
