Strong base ion exchange resins derived from crosslinked vinylbvenzyl chloride polymers are particularly suitable for purifying condensate waters for steam regenerating equipment. Preferred embodiments utilize gellular anion exchange resins to remove corrosion products from boiler condensate waters.

Method of purifying condensate waters for steam regenerating equipment

This invention relates to vinylbenzyl and crosslinking bis-(vinylbenzyl) monomers for use in the preparation of polymers, especially ion exchange resins, and to methods for the preparation of the monomers and polymers. It is particularly concerned with the preparation, polymerization, and use of new nitrogenous monomers as crosslinking agents and/or function-introducing agents.

Preparation, polymerization, and use of new bis-vinylbenzyl nitrogenous

Hybrid copolymers are prepared by at least partially filling the macropores of a macroreticular copolymer with a guest crosslinked copolymer of either the same monomers or a copolymer of different type monomers. The hybrid copolymers can be readily converted into ion exchange resins. Such resins have markedly improved physical and chemical properties, including improved ion exchange properties.

Hybrid copolymers

This invention relates to nitrogenous vinylbenzyl and bis-(vinylbenzyl) compounds for use in the preparation of polymers, especially ion exchange resins, and to processes for the preparation of the monomers and polymers. More particularly, it relates to the preparation, polymerization, and use of the new nitrogenous compounds as crosslinking agents and/or function-introducing agents.

Preparation, polymerization and use of new bis-vinylbenzyl nitrogenous

A process for desalinating water containing mineral salts utilizes thermally regenerable hybrid resins. A preferred embodiment provides for the desalination of saline water using hybrid resins comprising per hundred parts of macroreticular host polymer, a guest phase ranging from 50 to 300 parts by weight.

Desalination process using thermally regenerable resins

Hybrid copolymers are prepared by at least partially filling the macropores of a macroreticular ion exchange resin with a gel type, crosslinked copolymer of either the same monomers or a copolymer of different type monomers. The hybrid copolymers can be readily converted into ion exchange resins. Such resins have markedly improved physical and chemical properties, including improved ion exchange properties.

Ion exchange resins derived from hybrid copolymers

Hybrid copolymers are prepared by at least partially filling the voids of a macroreticular copolymer with a gel-type, cross-linked copolymer of either the same monomers or a copolymer of different type monomers. The hybrid copolymers can be readily converted into ion exchange resins. Such resins have markedly improved physical and chemical properties, including improved ion exchange properties. Such resins are also especially useful for decolorizing sugar solutions.

Method of decolorizing sugar solutions with hybrid ion exchange resins

Resins containing sulfonic acid functionality may be prepared by reacting a chloromethylated polymer matrix with thiourea and then oxidizing the resulting isothiouronium salt to the sulfonic acid in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, either directly or with the intermediate isolation of the thiol.
