The present invention relates to an iminodiacetic acid chelating resin, wherein the water amount in the resin is from 50 to 75% and the volume ratio of Na form/H form is from 1.4 to 1.8. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for producing an iminodiacetic acid chelating resin, wherein an alcohol is used as a solvent for the amination reaction of a chloromethylated styrene crosslinked copolymer with iminodiacetonitrile or sodium iodide and/or potassium iodide is used as a catalyst for the amination reaction.

Iminodiacetate chelating resin and manufacturing method therefor

A gas adsorbent which has sufficient gas adsorptivity for noxious gas components in a cigarette when brought into contact with a gas stream having a high flow rate as that when it passes through a cigarette filter, and which releases a small amount of bad odor components such as amine impurities and free noxious components which adversely affect health such as aromatic compounds derived from the gas adsorbent itself, the gas adsorbent satisfying conditions (I), (II), (IV) and (V) or conditions (I), (III), (IV) and (V), as described in the specification.

Gas adsorbent

An anion exchange membrane comprising a resin phase which contains from 20 to 96 mass % of a polymer having repeating units represented by the following formula (1): wherein A is a Calkylene group or an alkyleneoxyalkyl group having a total carbon number of from 4 to 9, each of R, Rand Ris a hydrogen atom, a Calkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group, and Xis an anion, and wherein any hydrogen atom bonded to the benzene ring may be substituted by an alkyl group or a halogen atom, and from 4 to 80 mass % of a thermoplastic polymer having no ion exchange groups, substantially uniformly.

Process for producing hydroxyalkyl (METH) acrylates

The present invention relates to a process for producing pure water having a total organic carbon content of not more than 200 ppb instantly after start of the operation of a high purity water system, comprising using as an ion exchange resin a specific strongly basic anion exchange resin and passing raw water through the high purity water system at a space velocity of not less than 20. The produced pure water is capable of producing tasteless and odorless pure water instantly after start of the operation of the high purity water system.

Process for producing pure water

A method for demineralizing water or an aqueous solution, which comprises contacting the water or the aqueous solution to be treated to a strongly basic anion exchanger made of a crosslinked polymer having a constituting unit of the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein A is a C.sub.1-2 linear alkylene group, B is a C.sub.4-8 linear alkylene group, each of R1, R2 and R3 which may be the same or different, is a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group or a C.sub.2-4 alkanol group, X is a counter ion coordinated on the ammonium group, and the benzene ring D may have an alkyl group or a halogen atom as a substituent.

Method for treating water or an aqueous solution

This invention relates to cell culture carriers consisting of a porous support, at least a part of which surface being coated with a water-insoluble polymer constituted by (meth)acrylic acid ester and/or (meth)acrylamides and a cross-linking agent, and having a positively chargeable chemical moiety on the polymer surface. The present carriers have enabled the high-density cell culture in any type of the culture methods.

Cell culture carriers

Improved cell culture microcarriers are disclosed herein. These improved microcarriers consist of water-insoluble polymer particles constituted by (meth)acrylic ester, characterized in that the particles have an average diameter of 110-1,000 .mu.m and a density of 1.00-1.20 g/ml in a culture medium as well as positively chargeable chemical moieties distributed at least thereon, the moieties being introduced into the particles by the reaction between the ester and ammonia or amine having 5 or less carbon atoms.

Cell culture microcarriers

A method for producing a separating agent having a fluorine-containing group and a hydrophilic group, wherein a cross-linking component consisting of alkylene di(meth)acrylate and/or glycerine poly(meth)acrylate, and a principal chain component consisting of ester and/or ether having therein a polymerizable vinyl group or isopropenyl group and a functional group are subjected to suspension-polymerization to obtain a cross-linked copolymer, and then the functional group in the copolymer is subjected to chemical modification with a fluorine-containing compound or with both fluorine-containing compound and hydrophilic-group-containing compound. The separating agent of the present invention consists essentially of porous cross-linked copolymer particles having porosity in a range of from 0.5 to 3 ml/g and an average particle size in a range of from 1 to 2,000 .mu.m.
