Abstract:
A process for removing complexed or chelated ions from an aqueous solution using a cationic chelating resin in the sodium form. The process is particularly useful for removing metal ions chelated during a metal plating process with specific utility for recovering cadmium from a cadmium cyanide complex.

Abstract:
Novel ceramic compositions are used for removing metal ions by chelation from solutions such as aqueous waste streams. The compositions are formed by covalently bonding to terminal hydroxy groups of a ceramic inorganic carrier or support a substituted silane linking group attached to a chelating agent or ligand which is pyrogallol or a derivative thereof.
Abstract:
A process for purification of hydrogen peroxide is provided which comprises contacting an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution with a chelate resin. According to the process, it is possible to remove impurities in the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution in high efficiency, and particularly, it is possible to remove iron, aluminum, etc., which are difficult to remove singly by ion exchange resins, up to extremely low concentrations. Highly pure hydrogen peroxide solutions obtained by this invention can suitably used for washing of silicon wafers.

Abstract:
A composition is provided for treating drinking water for disinfecting and/or removing iodide. The composition utilizes resin bound silver ions. For performing the disinfection or iodide removal with minimal release of silver ions into the water being treated, a chelating resin having iminodiacetate chelating groups is employed, and the resin is loaded with not over 0.5 mol of silver ions per mol of iminodiacetate.

Abstract:
An agent for capturing metal ions, which consists essentially of a cyclic inulooligosaccharide having from 6 to 8 molecules of fructose bonded by .beta.-2,1 bonds to form a cyclic structure, wherein hydroxyl groups may all or partially be alkylated.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for removing formate ions from electroless metal plating baths employing formaldehyde as a reducing agent and typically comprising polyvalent anions as metal chelant and/or counterion. The apparatus and methods employ anion filtration to separate polyvalent anions from monovalent formate ions and ion exchange units to remove metal and metal chelant species from formate-containing streams. Preferred aspects of this invention provide apparatus and methods for removing formate from electroless copper plating baths.
Abstract:
A process for absorbing silver from photographic hypo solutions involves passing the hypo solution through a bed consisting of a multitude of a sponge product confined within a vessel. The sponge product is derived from an open-celled cellulosic sponge into which there has been incorporated 30% to 80% by weight of a polymer produced by the thermal interaction of polyethyleneimine (PEI) with a polycarboxylic acid. The polymer further contains an activating multivalent cation and between 90% and 300% water. Silver is eluted from the sponge product employing aqueous solutions of a complexing agent such as an ammonium compound or a cyanide compound. Following a water wash, the bed of sponge product is ready for its next cycle of silver absorption.
