Abstract:
A method and apparatus for producing deionized water by passing water to be treated through a deionizing and water treatment system having carbon filtration and beds of packed ion exchange resins, specifically including beds of mixed anion resins, so that sediment and impurity ions are removed as adsorbed on the ion exchange sites of the resins and a method of regenerating the ion exchange resins after having its ion-exchanging and adsorbing abilities lowered.
Abstract:
Process for preparing monodisperse weakly basic or optionally strongly basic anion exchangers of the poly(meth)acrylamide type, the ion exchangers themselves and their use.
Abstract:
A process based on ion exchange with separated beds is disclosed for the deionization of substances that are not stable in the presence of strongly acidic cation exchangers, wherein the solution to be deionized is contacted with a first bed consisting of a basic anion exchanger in the form of hydrogen carbonate and subsequently with a second bed, connected in series, consisting of a weakly acidic cation exchanger in hydrogen form.
Abstract:
The recovery of iodide from chemical process wastewater is accomplished by loading the wastewater containing iodide onto a strongly basic anion-exchange resin in free-base form; eluting the sorbed iodide from the resin with aqueous strong acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid); loading the iodide-rich cuts onto a weakly basic anion-exchange resin in free-base form; and eluting the sorbed iodide with aqueous base (e.g., sodium hydroxide). The recovered iodide typically has sufficient purity to permit its re-use in the chemical process.
Abstract:
Anion-exchange compositions are provided comprising anion-exchange functional groups comprising at least a first and a second nitrogen group, wherein the first nitrogen group is a quaternary amine and the second nitrogen group is selected from the group consisting of primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary amines. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention is for a process of removing acid salt contaminants from a resin solution. The process comprises providing an organic solution of a phenolic resin having a portion of its phenolic hydroxyl groups condensed with an acid halide in the presence of a base catalyst. The organic solutions is then contacted with a strong acid cation exchange resin and a base anion exchange resin for a time sufficient to remove essentially all of said acid salt contaminants. Acid salt contamination is reduced to a level below normal detection limits.
Abstract:
THE INVENTION DISCLOSED HEREIN RELATES TO A NOVEL PROCESS FOR THE ISOLATION AND PURIFICATION OF CONJUGATED ESTROGENS BY BRINGING EQUINE PREGNANCY URINE OR, ALTERNATIVELY, AN AQUEOUS EXTRACT DERIVED FROM EQUINE PREGANCY URINE OR, ALTERNATIVELY, AN AQUEOUS EXTRACT DERIVED FROM EQUINE PREGNANCY RUINE, INTO CONTAC WITH AN ANION EXCHANGE RESIN, THEREBY ABSORBING SAID CONJUGATED ESTROGENS ON SAID RESIN, AND ELUTING THE RESIN WITH AN AQUEOUS ALCOHOL ELUTING SOLVENT CONTAINING CHLORIDE IONS. CONJUGATED ESTROGENS DERIVED FROM EQUINE PREGANCY URINE (PMU) HAVE BEEN USED FOR MANY YEARS IN ESTROGENIC PREPARATIONS.
Abstract:
BY PRETREATMENT OF A STRONG BASE QUATERNARY AMMONIUM ANION EXCHANGE RESIN WITH AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A CHELATING AGENT, MORE EFFICIENT ELUTION OF THYROXINE THEREFROM IN BIOLOGICAL ISOLATION AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES IS ACHIEVED. A FURTHER IMPROVEMENT IS ACHIEVED BY PRETREATMENT OF THE RESIN WITH NITRIC ACID.
Abstract:
In an ion exchanger having a single upright tank with upper and lower stratified beds of resins respectively adapted to absorbing different ions (cations or anions) of the same ionic polarity, a distributor for the inflow of water into the tank is disposed substantially at the interface between the two beds and used to effect the upward backwashing of the upper bed alone and, during regeneration of weak-and-strong-type exchange resins by the same regenerant passed successively through the beds of strong-andweak-type resins, to dilute the regenerant to the concentration best suited for regeneration of the weak-type resin.
