Abstract:
A polysaccharide-containing adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions from an effluent which adsorbent has been manufactured from(1) a polysaccharide-containing material,(2) a basic, nitrogen-containing polymer which can be acylated,(3) a crosslinking compound, which is different from component (4), containing at least two reactive substituents and, optionally,(4) an aliphatic or araliphatic carboxylic acid containing a mobile substituent or a multiple bond which is capable of undergoing addition.
Abstract:
New chelate exchange resins capable of selective recovery of copper, nickel, and other valuable metals from an acidic aqueous leach liquor are prepared by reacting a crosslinked haloalkyl polymer matrix resin (I) with certain aminopyridines (II) to give a resin (III) ##STR1## with pendent methyleneaminopyridine groups attached to the matrix resin. Particularly useful resins are obtained by reacting chloromethylated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads with an aminomethylpyridine, such as 2-picolylamine, N-methyl-2-picolylamine, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-picolylamine, N-(2-methylaminoethyl)-2-picolylamine, or bis-(2-picolyl)amine. At a typical copper ore leach liquor pH of about 2, the picolylamine resins will absorb 15-30 mg copper/ml resin with a 5-10 fold selectivity for copper over ferric iron.
Abstract:
A method for the rapid analysis of trace components in a liquid, which comprises filtering said liquid through a filter paper having at least one of anion exchange functional groups and chelating ion binding functional groups, thus collecting substantially the entire amount of the objective components (anions or chelating ions) contained in said liquid on the filter paper, and analyzing the anion- or chelating ion-loaded filter paper as such or after drying, or analyzing the eluate obtained by elution of the anions or chelating ions to be analyzed from said filter paper.
Abstract:
Novel polycyclic macrocyclic compounds having four tertiary nitrogen bridgehead atoms and six bridging chains, each of which have not more than twelve directly connecting atoms between each pair of bridgehead nitrogens, said bridging chains being hydrocarbon chains and hetero-substituted hydrocarbon chains having at least one hetero connecting atom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen, at least two of said chains being hetero substituted. When admixed with a compatible cation-donor compound, the polycyclic macrocyclic compounds form stable cation-containing macrocyclic complexes which, in turn, can be conveniently dissociated by addition of acid or a quaternizing acid. The novel polycyclic macrocyclics are valuable for use in the same way and for the same purposes as chelating agents.The polycyclic macrocyclic compounds are prepared by condensation reactions utilizing high dilution techniques, e.g. by condensing a monocyclic macrocyclic having secondary nitrogen bridgeheads with a substituted hydrocarbon di-carbonyl halide followed by reduction of the resulting lactam or, alternatively, by condensing a monocyclic macrocyclic having secondary nitrogen bridgeheads with a substituted hydrocarbon dihalide (or di-sulfonate).
Abstract:
Cationic polymers which are useful as flocculants are prepared by reacting (a) a condensation polymer prepared from dicyandiamide and a polyalkylenepolyamine, (b) a dialkylamine, and (c) a difunctional epoxide.
Abstract:
Metal ions may be scavenged from solution by means of a complexing agent comprising an inorganic substrate, such as a clay mineral, with covalent organic molecules, such as onium compounds, chemically bonded to the substrate, the covalent organic molecules containing free coordinating groups. The complexing agents are particularly useful in scavenging environmentally harmful metal ions such as mercury from industrial effluents.

IN A METHOD FOR RECOVERING PALLADIUM, TECHNETIUM, AND RHODIUM AND RUTHENIUM VALUES FROM AN AQUEOUS ACID FEED SOLUTION CONTAINING THESE AND OTHER VALUES AND FROM EACH OTHER COMPRISING: CONTACTING THE FEED SOLUTION WITH A FIRST BED OF CARBON, SAID BED HAVING ABSORBED THEREON DIMETHYLGLYOXIME, WHEREBY ONLY THE PALLADIUM IS CHELATED AND IS RETAINED ON THE FIRST BED, CONTACTING THE FEED SOLUTION WITH A SECOND BED OF CARBON, SAID SECOND BED HAVING ADSORBED THEREON A CHELATING AGENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF DIACETYL DITHIOL AND DIACETYLTOLUENE-3,4-DITIOL, WHEREBY ONLY TECHNETIUM IS CHELATED AND REMAINS ON THE BED, CONTACTING THE FEED SOLUTION WITH A THIRD BED OF CARBON, SAID BED HAVING ADSORBED THEREON A CHELATING AGENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF 8-MERCAPTOQUINOLINE AND PHENYLTHIOUREA, WHEREBY ONLY THE RHODIUM AND RUTHENIUM ARE CHELATED AND REMAIN ON THE BED, AND RECOVERING THE VALUES FROM THE CARBON BEDS.
Abstract:
1. A PROCESS FOR SEPARATING AMMONIA IN THE NON-IONIC STATE FROM AQUEOUS STREAMS, COMPRISING: 81) ADJUSITNG THE STREAM TO PH 9-12 SO THAT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF AMMONIA I N THE STREAM IS IN THE EXCHANGEABLE, NON-IONIC FORM, AND (2) CONTACTING THE STREAM WITH A WATER-INSOLUBLE ION EXCHANGE MATERIAL HAVING METAL CATIONS FIRMLY BOUND IN ITS MATRIX TO PREVENT ANY SUBSTANTIAL LEACHING OF THE METAL CATIONS FROM THE ION-EXCHANGE MATERIAL, THE METAL CATIONS HAVING A POSITIVE AMMINE COMPLEX FORMATION CONSTANT AND FORMING AMMONIA COMPLEXES BY ATTACHMENT OF NON-IONIC AMMONIA TO THE METAL CATIONS, THEREBY REMOVING THE NON-IONIC AMMONIA FROM THE AQUEOUS STREAM.
