  • Method for removing cesium from an aqueous liquid and purifying the reactor coolant in boiling water and pressurized water reactors
    Patent number: 4657731
    Abstract: Water containing cesium, such as the reactor coolant of a pressurized water nuclear reactor, is purified by passing the water through an ion exchange resin bed containing a highly cross-linked, macroporous, strong acid resin derived from a monovinylidene aromatic and a cross-linking monomer compolymerizable therewith. The cross-linking monomer is employed in amounts of at least 12 mole percent based on the total weight of the monovinylidene aromatic and cross-linking monomer.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for the production of high fructose corn syrup
    Patent number: 4523960
    Abstract: The preparation of high fructose corn syrup wherein the glucose-containing process stream is sequentially contacted with a strong acid cation-exchange resin and then a weak base anion-exchange resin prior to enzyme isomerization of the glucose to fructose is facilitated by treating the process stream with a weak acid cation-exchange resin subsequent to its treatment with the strong acid and weak base resins but prior to enzyme isomerization.
