Abstract:
A method releases hydrogen by forming a second ionic liquid from a first ionic liquid by releasing hydrogen from the first ionic liquid by exposing the first ionic liquid to water and a catalyst. The first ionic liquid includes a cation and an anion including a borohydride. The release of the hydrogen forms a borate, which makes up the anion of the second ionic liquid. The cation of the first ionic liquid is the same as that of the second ionic liquid. A reaction system includes the first and second ionic liquids, water and a catalyst.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of inorganic salts for increasing the adsorption of oxoanions and/or thioanalogues thereof to metal-doped ion exchangers, preferably to iron oxide/iron oxyhydroxide-containing ion exchangers, preferably from water or aqueous solutions, and also the conditioning of these metal-doped ion exchangers having increased adsorption behaviour toward oxoanions and/or thioanalogues thereof by using inorganic salts with the exception of amphoteric ion exchangers which have both acidic and basic groups as functional groups.
Abstract:
The invention is for a process of removing anions from an organic solution, especially one having base labile components. The process comprises modifying an anion exchange resin by treatment with a solution of a source of anions less basic than the hydroxyl anion and contacting said modified ion exchange resin with an organic solution containing anions. The process is especially useful for treating photoresist compositions.

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.
Abstract:
Cyclic N-vinylacylamines are prepared by heating carbonic acid esters of cyclic N-2-hydroxyethylacylamines in the presence of a catalytic amount of alkali or alkaline earth metal compound having an alkaline reaction and subsequently distilling the reaction mixture.Cyclic N-vinylacylamines are valuable precursors for preparing plant protection agents and medicaments and serve as polymerization and copolymerization components for preparing plastics, surface coatings, paints and ion exchange materials.
Abstract:
Polymeric ammonium compounds are disclosed which have a silica-type backbone, comprised of units having the formula: ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent a group ##STR2## in which R.sup.5 is an alkylene grouping and the free valencies of the oxygen atoms are saturated by silicon atoms of further groups (2), if appropriate with incroporation of crosslinking agents, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the meaning of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 or represent hydrogen, an alkyl group, cycloalkyl group or the benzyl group, X represents a 1- to 3-valent anion of a protonic acid which forms stable salts with amine bases and x can be a number from 1 to 3. Also disclosed are processes for preparing the polymeric ammonium compounds and to the use of these materials as ion exchange materials.
Abstract:
High density, ion exchange resins having excellent integrity are prepared from cross-linked, aromatic polymers which have been halogenated in the presence of an organic liquid having a sufficiently high dielectric constant to prevent substantial halogenation of the polymer backbone such as various organic nucleophiles having a free electron pair associated with a nonhalogen atom, e.g., ethanol or dimethylformamide. For example, a cross-linked polystyrene which has been brominated in methylene chloride containing a small amount of ethanol can subsequently be chloromethylated and aminated to form a high density anion exchange resin useful in removing anions from thick slurries such as those employed in uranium recovery.
