Abstract: An anionic adsorbent which has been prepared by reacting (a) a monomeric compound which contains at least one anionic group and at least one amide group, especially a carboxamide group, which can be methylolated, with (b) an aminoplast precondensate which is free from salt-forming anionic groups.The novel adsorbent is particularly suitable for removing cationic substances, such as cationic dyes, and a heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions, especially from effluents.

Abstract: A novel process for the purification of industrial effluents, wherein the effluents are brought into contact with cationically modified cellulose-containing materials, the cationic constituent of which is bonded to the cellulose part via the grouping of the general formula--O--CH.sub.2 --N<in which the nitrogen belongs to an amide group of the cationic constituent and the oxygen is bonded to the cellulose part.

Abstract: A novel process for the purification of industrial effluents, wherein the effluents are brought into contact with cationically modified, cellulose-containing materials, the cationic constituent of which is bonded to the cellulose part via the grouping of the general formula--O--CH.sub.2 --N<in which the nitrogen belongs to an amide group of the cationic constituent and the oxygen is bonded to the cellulose part.

Abstract: A process for flameproofing wood is claimed, which comprises treating the wood with aqueous preparations which contain(a) at least one water-soluble ammonium salt of a non-volatile inorganic acid, e.g. ammonium sulfate or ammonium phosphate,(b) at least one water-soluble cationic reaction product of dicyandiamide, formaldehyde, optionally an ammonium salt and/or an alkylenepolyamine containing at most 18 carbon atoms, or the acid salt thereof.Components (a) and (b) are applied in succession or preferably simultaneously and the wood is subsequently dried. The flameproof finish obtained is resistant to rinsing. The wood provided with the flameproof finish is used in particular as mine timber.

Abstract: A process for removing cationic substances from an aqueous solution, which comprises bringing the solution into contact with a cellulose-containing material which has been chemically modified anionically and in which the anionic constituent is bonded to the cellulose moiety by a grouping of the general formula--O--CH.sub.2 --N<wherein the nitrogen belongs to an amide group of the anionic constituent and the oxygen atom is bonded to the cellulose.

Abstract: Hair-care compositions in the form of aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous alcoholic solutions, creams, gels, emulsions, or of aerosols which optionally contain a propellant are provided which contain at least one polymeric quaternary ammonium salt which contains cationic units of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are the same or different and represent alkyl, cycloalkyl or alkenyl, aryl or aralkyl, or (R.sub.1 and R.sub.2) and/or (R.sub.3 and R.sub.4) together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, form an unsubstituted or substituted heterocyclic ring containing 3 to 6 ring members,A.sub.1 represents an optionally substituted alkylene, cycloalkylene or aralkylene bridging group and A.sub.2 is a group of the formula ##STR2## The compositions are especially useful as shampoos.

Abstract: A novel process for the purification of industrial effluents, wherein the effluents are brought into contact with cationically modified, cellulose-containing materials, the cationic constituent of which is bonded to the cellulose part via the grouping of the general formula--O--CH.sub.2 --N<in which the nitrogen belongs to an amide group of the cationic constituent and the oxygen is bonded to the cellulose part, and the cationically modified, cellulose-containing materials possessing such a constituent, are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to boric acid/amine reaction products of (a) boric acid and (b) an amine of the formula ##STR1## in which R denotes optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, aryl or cycloalkyl or an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical and m and n are each a number from 1 to 6. These products are used as auxiliaries in the textile, leather, detergent and cosmetics industry.
