A process for purifying a hydrogen peroxide solution is disclosed, comprising treating a 10 to 60% by weight hydrogen peroxide solution having a pH between 1.5 and 5.0 and containing anionic impurities with a hydrogencarbonate type or carbonate type anion exchange resin while adding an acid or a salt thereof having an acid dissociation constant pKa in water of not more than 5 to the hydrogen peroxide solution to be treated continuously or semi-continuously in an amount of from 0.5 to 5 milli-equivalents per liter of hydrogen peroxide solution. The hydrogen peroxide decomposing activity of the anion exchange resin can be inhibited without decreasing a rate of removal of strong acid radicals in the anionic impurities thereby minimizing oxygen evolution due to decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

Purification of hydrogen peroxide solution

A metallic ion sorber capable of absorbing ions of a metal excluding iron and cobalt and a method of sorbing ions of a metal excluding iron and cobalt are disclosed. The sorber comprises an ethylene copolymer containing from 40 to 95% by weight of ethylene and from 5 to 60% by weight of at least one of aminoalkyl acrylate compounds represented by formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and n represents an integer of from 1 to 4, and having a number average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 50,000.
