Abstract: In this paper the self diffusion of rare earth ion(Eu3+ ) in porous ion exchange resins D72 and D751 was studied by isotope exchange reaction. Applying Kataoka's bidisperse pore model, the intraparticle effective diffusivities De were resolved into a solid diffusivity Dg and a macropore diffusivity Dp. The results express that Kataoka's equations can illustrate the kinetic process of porous ion exchange resins. The experiments show that De, Dp and Dg all increase with the increase of reaction temperature and the self-diffusion activation energy of Eu3+ ion under the experimental conditions was calculated; the response Dp and Dg to temperature of D72 resin is more sensitive than that of D751; De, Dp and Dg of D751 resin is smaller than that of D72 resin; the diffusivity of Eu3+ ion in solution is larger than Dp, which leads to the conclusion that the diffusion of ion in the pore of ion exchange resin can not completely be equal to that in solution.
