Abstract: A carbonaceous adsorbent to be used for the removal of a pyrogen dissolved in water is disclosed. The adsorbent is obtained by carbonizing porous beads of a cross-linked polymer. This adsorbent is favorably used for the removal of endotoxin in the production of pure water from deionized water resulting from the treatment with ion-exchange resins.

Abstract: A carbonaceous absorbent to be used for the removal of a pyrogen dissolved in water is disclosed. The absorbent is obtained by carbonizing porous beads of a cross-linked polymer. This absorbent is favorably used for the removal of endotoxin in the production of pure water from deionized water resulting from the treatment with iron-exchange resins.

Abstract: This application relates to novel metal salts of N-substituted alkylenebisdithiocarbamic acids and their use as agricultural fungicides.

Abstract: A process of sulfonating a crosslinked copolymer to yield a cation exchange resin using liquid sulfur trioxide dissolved in a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent as the sulfonating reagent.

Abstract: Polyvinylimidazoline flocculants are converted to an easily handled granular form by pelletizing with siliceous material and a lower alcohol, or mixture of lower alcohols with esters or ketones, and subsequently drying the pellets.

Abstract: Fungicidal or algicidal agents are provided which consist of a copper salt of an acid which is an unsaturated dibasic acid of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or lower alkyl together with an inorganic copper compound which is sparingly soluble or insoluble in water for example basic copper chloride, basic copper sulfate, basic copper carbonate, copper silicate, cuprous oxide, basic copper phosphate and copper hydroxide. The copper salt and the inorganic copper compound are preferably divided a finely as possible and thereafter mixed. The compositions are of low toxicity, provide a lasting effect and do not give rise generally to secondary noxious products.
