One reason may be that since its inception ion exchange has been regarded more as a method of water production than as a method of water purification. Ion exchange equipment commonly resembles industrial plant much more closely than wastewater treatment plant. Ion exchange is also not considered a promising research area and, most importantly, it receives little attention in technical education courses. As a result, most progress in the application of ion exchange has been made by specialized companies, either resin manufacturers or producers of equipment for water treatment. 

Purification Ion-exchange Using Polymeric Supported Sulfonic Acid. Dowex 50W has also found use as an ion-exchange resin for the purification of amine derivatives. Ham-merschmidt has purified a substituted amine 88, after a Boc deprotection of 87 with HCl (6 M) (eq 40), whereas Najera used the same resin to purify phenylalanine (90) after cleavage from the corresponding oxazolidinone (89) with lithium hydroxide (eq 41). ... 

After several steps of purification, ion exchange can give the strong acid, which is stable even at 100 °C up to 6 M. The 12-M add is unstable but not explosive, and is a vigorous oxidant even at 25 °C. 

After preparation, colloidal suspensions usually need to undergo purification procedures before detailed studies can be carried out. A common technique for charged particles (typically in aqueous suspension) is dialysis, to deal witli ionic impurities and small solutes. More extensive deionization can be achieved using ion exchange resins. 

For the more advanced student, we have extended the section on Quantitative Semi-micro Analysis, and we have included a section dealing with Special Techniques in Separation and Purification, namely Adsorption Chromatography, Paper Chromatography, and Ion- Exchange Processes.

The ratio of reactants had to be controlled very closely to suppress these impurities. Recovery of the acrylamide product from the acid process was the most expensive and difficult part of the process. Large scale production depended on two different methods. If soHd crystalline monomer was desired, the acrylamide sulfate was neutralized with ammonia to yield ammonium sulfate. The acrylamide crystallized on cooling, leaving ammonium sulfate, which had to be disposed of in some way. The second method of purification involved ion exclusion (68), which utilized a sulfonic acid ion-exchange resin and produced a dilute solution of acrylamide in water. A dilute sulfuric acid waste stream was again produced, and, in either case, the waste stream represented a... 

The plutonium usually contains isotopes of higher mass number (Fig. 1). A variety of industrial-scale processes have been devised for the recovery and purification of plutonium. These can be divided, in general, into the categories of precipitation, solvent extraction, and ion exchange. 

The resuspended and formulated Fraction II precipitate normally contains some aggregated IgG and trace substances that can cause hypotensive reactions in patients, such as the enzyme prekail ikrein activator (186). These features restrict this type of product to intramuscular adininistration. Further processing is required if products suitable for intravenous adininistration are required. Processes used for this purpose include treatment at pH 4 with the enzyme pepsin [9001-75-6] being added if necessary (131,184), or further purification by ion-exchange chromatography (44). These and other methods have been fiiUy reviewed (45,185,187,188). Intravenous immunoglobulin products are usually suppHed in the freeze-dried state but a product stable in the solution state is also available (189). 

The purification of the galHum salt solutions is carried out by solvent extraction and/or by ion exchange. The most effective extractants are dialkyl-phosphates in sulfate medium and ethers, ketones (qv), alcohols, and trialkyl-phosphates in chloride medium. Electrorefining, ie, anodic dissolution and simultaneous cathodic deposition, is also used to purify metallic galHum.
