A process is disclosed for the regeneration of a sorbent, particularly an ion exchanger used in the recovery, isolation or production of sugars, wherein a regeneration solution is used which contains at least 20 meq/l of an alkali metal hydroxide or hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal having an atomic number of at least 20, and at least 1% by weight of a monosaccharide or disaccharide.

Process for the regeneration of a sorbent

A process for removing an organic impurity from an aqueous solution is disclosed, said process comprising contacting the aqueous solution with an acid cation exchanger and subsequently with a polymer or polycondensate, which contains sulfur in the form of thiol groups bonded to carbon atoms.

Process for purifying an aqueous solution

Ferric ions are removed from a concentrated aqueous zinc solution having a pH value in the range of about 0 to about 1.3, by contacting the zinc solution with a cation exchange chelate resin containing aminocarboxylic acid and/or iminodicarboxylic acid groups.

Method for the removal of ferric ions from a concentrated aqueous zinc

A process of separately recovering vanadium and molybdenum from an aqueous solution containing a vanadium compound is disclosed. The process comprises adjusting the pH of such a solution to a pH between 1.5 and 7, contacting the solution with a weakly basic anion exchanger in the salt form, eluting said anion exchanger with an ammonium hydroxide solution having a strength between about 1 and 4N, crystallizing the resulting ammonium vanadate, and separating the same from the vanadium and molybdenum solution obtained in said elution.
