A wastewater treatment process for treating wastewater comprising a water-based dispersion containing a surfactant, a colorant and silica, as well as other solid matter, wherein the wastewater is treated using a polysilicato-iron coagulant.

Wastewater treatment process

An ink jet recording ink including water, a water-soluble organic solvent, and at least one dye having at least one carboxyl group in the form of a free acid, wherein at least one compound selected form secondary or tertiary amine compounds represented by the following general formula (I) and at least one compound selected from the alkali metal hydroxides are contained and the pH value thereof is from 8.5 to 12: ##STR1## wherein one or two of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and substituted by a substituent selected from a carboxyl group, a sulfonic group, an alkali metal salt of a carboxyl group, and an alkali metal salt of a sulfonic group; and the remainder is a group selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and a substituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and substituted by a hydroxyl group or carbamoyl group is disclosed. The ink provides water resistance and various properties required for an ink jet recording ink.

Ink jet recording ink and ink jet recording method

An ink jet recording ink comprising: (i) water, (ii) a water-soluble organic solvent, (iii) at least one dye having at least one carboxyl group in the form of a free acid, (iv) a substituted aromatic compound represented by general formula (I); and (v) at least one alkali metal hydroxide, wherein the pH value of the ink is from 8 to 12, and an ink jet recording method in which such ink droplets are discharged from an orifice according to a recording signal to record an image using this ink jet recording ink are disclosed, general formula (I) being: ##STR1##

Disclosed is a color ink set for ink-jet recording, which color ink set comprises a set of single-color ink, namely, cyan ink, magenta ink, yellow ink and black ink, each single-color ink containing at least a colorant, a water-soluble organic solvent and water, wherein the colorant in the single-color ink has a specific chemical structure, and which color ink set for ink-jet recording fulfills the characteristics required for ink-jet recording ink, along with the details of single-color ink constituting the ink set and an ink-jet recording method using the color ink set.

Ink set for ink jet recording and ink jet recording method

Ink-jet recording ink improved in releasability of bubbles and the like. The ink comprises water, a colorant and a water-soluble organic solvent. The surface tension of the ink at 20.degree. C. is higher than the surface tension of a composition which comprises the components for the ink except the colorant. Ink-jet recording is effected by making use of the ink and, for example, a heating system.

An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive substrate having provided thereon a photoconductive layer is disclosed, said photoconductive layer containing a high polymeric compound comprising a repeating unit comprised of a tetracarboxylic acid anhydride skeleton and a divalent organic group skeleton having an aromatic nucleus, said two skeletons being bonded via a nitrogen atom. Said high polymeric compound is formed by co-deposition of a tetracarboxylic acid anhydride compound and an aromatic diamine compound. The photoreceptor exhibits high sensitivity, high durability, and excellent image quality retention even when used repeatedly or in a high humidity environment.
