Abstract:
A porous ion exchanger includes an open cell structure including interconnected macropores and mesopores whose average diameter is in a range of 1 to 1000 μm existing on walls of the macropores. Moreover, a total pore volume is in a range of 1 to 50 ml/g, ion exchange groups are uniformly distributed, and an ion exchange capacity is not less than 0.5 mg equivalent/g of dry porous ion exchanger. The porous ion exchanger can be used as an ion exchanger filled into a deionization module of an electrodeionization water purification device, solid acid catalyst, adsorbent, and filler for chromatography.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of separating a mixture of charged colloidal particles, e.g. virus variants by bringing the mixture to pass a bed of an adsorbent. The invention is mainly characterized in that the adsorbent is constituted of an insoluble, organic polymer containing amphoteric substituents composed of both basic nitrogen-containing groups and carboxylate or sulphonate groups. The proportion between the basic and the acid groups is simple and stoichiometric, whereby said charged particles are allowed to migrate at different speeds depending on the strength of the reciprocal interaction between the charged particles and the substituents in said adsorbent and are selectively adsorbed by said adsorbent.
Abstract:
The process of removing contaminants from a liquid medium, comprising the steps of A. CONTACTING A QUANTITY OF THE CONTAMINATED LIQUID MEDIUM WITH A SOLVENT REGENERABLE FIRST ADSORBENT DURING A FIRST PHASE, THAT ADSORBENT HAVING AN AFFINITY FOR THE CONTAMINANTS AND A VOLUME WHICH ARE INSUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO PRODUCE A DESIRED DEGREE OF PURIFICATION DURING THE FIRST PHASE, WHEREBY A FRACTION OF THE CONTAMINANTS IS ADSORBED BY THE FIRST ADSORBENT AND A PARTIALLY PURIFIED EFFLUENT OF THE MEDIUM IS PRODUCED, B. CONTACTING THE PARTIALLY PURIFIED EFFLUENT FROM SAID FIRST PHASE WITH AN IONIC SOLUTION REGENERABLE SECOND ADSORBENT HAVING AN AFFINITY FOR THE CONTAMINANTS AND A VOLUME WHICH ARE SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED DEGREE OF PURIFICATION, C. REGENERATING THE FIRST ADSORBENT WITH A SOLVENT, D. CONTACTING A REGENERANT WITH THE SECOND ADSORBENT TO REMOVE THE CONTAMINANTS ADSORBED THEREON, AND E. CONTACTING THE EFFLUENT FROM STEP (D), COMPRISING THE REGENERANT AND THE CONTAMINANTS REMOVED THEREBY, WITH THE FIRST ADSORBENT, WHEREBY AN ADDITIONAL FRACTION OF THE CONTAMINANTS IS ADSORBED BY THE FIRST ADSORBENT.
Abstract:
A method for recharging and purifying an acetate group ion exchange resin which has been used to isolate thyroxine from blood serum. The method includes treatment with an aqueous concentrated acetic acid solution optionally followed by treatment with an aqueous metallic acetate solution.
Abstract:
METHOD FOR RECOVERING ANTIBIOTIC 833A, CHEMICALLY KNOWN AS (-)(CIS-1,2-EPOXYPROPYL)PHOSPHONIC ACID, FROM IMPURE AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS CONTAINING SAID ANTIBIOTIC, VIA ADSORPTION ON ION EXCHANGE RESINS WITH SUBSEQUENT ELUTION WITH WATER, AQEOUS SALT SOLUTIONS OR AQUEOUS ALCOHOLIC SALT SOLUTIONS. ANTIBIOTIC 833A IS ACTIVE AGAINST BOTH GRAM-POSITIVE AND GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA.
Abstract:
Heat labile tenacious proteins present in samples of substantially pure orgotein produced by a process which comprises a heating step in which a mixture of proteins comprising the orgotein protein and substantial amounts of other proteins are heated under conditions which do not affect the orgotein, are eliminated therefrom by a second heating step of a solution of the substantially pure orgotein in a buffer containing divalent metal ions at a temperature higher than employed in the prior heating step.
