Abstract: Complexes of metals with chelating resins are described. In the principal embodiment the complex is a complex of a resin, an enzyme and a metal that is in non-ionic form and that is chelated by the resin and the enzyme. Such material is of particular value for converting dextrin to glucose. In another embodiment a solid agricultural composition is formed comprising a complex of an agriculturally acceptable trace metal chelated by a chelating resin and finely divided solid carrier.
Abstract: Water swellable ion exchange resins comprising a polymeric matrix and amidine groups are described together with their synthesis. The preferred amidine groups are nitrate selective and methods of selectively removing nitrate from water are also described.
