  • IMMOBILIZED LIGANDS FOR THE REMOVAL OF METAL IONS AND METHODS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20160002067
    Abstract: Disclosed are immobilized dimercapto succinate compounds (immobilized dithiol compounds), a method to synthesize these immobilized dithiol compounds, and a method of using the immobilized dithiol compounds to remove metals, such as lead, cadmium and mercury from an aqueous solution. Also disclosed are immobilized mono- and di-citrate compounds (immobilized citrate compounds), a method to synthesize these solid-supported compounds, and a method of using the immobilized citrate compounds to remove trivalent metals, such as iron and aluminum from an aqueous solution.

  • Coated magnetically responsive particles, and embolic materials using coated magnetically responsive particles
    Publication number: 20040157082
    Abstract: An embolic material comprising a polymerizable hydrophobic suspension of coated magnetically responsive particles (e.g. magnetite Fe3O4) suspended in a solvent monomer, a bulking agent, a radiopaque monomer, and an accelerant, and an initiator. The coated magnetically responsive particles preferably have a diameter of between about 20 and about 40 nm, and a magnetically responsive core with a diameter of between about 2 and about 20 nm.
