Abstract: The present invention relates to insoluble compositions, which are capable of removing metal (e.g. selectively) from solution (e.g. Fe.sup.3+ from a liquid nutrient medium so as to lower the Fe.sup.3+ content to less than 0.1 .mu.M); the insoluble compositions comprise: a suitable insoluble carrier and organic co-ordinating sites covalently fixed to the surface of said carrier, said co-ordinating sites being capable of chelating Fe.sup.3+, Th.sup.4+ and/or UO.sub.2.sup.2+.
