Abstract: A production method for water for pure water includes adding polyaluminum chloride to raw water to produce first treated water, and filtering the first treated water in two or more stages including filtering with a filtration membrane device in a preceding stage to produce first concentrated water, and filtering the first concentrated water with a filtration membrane device in a subsequent stage. The water for pure water is produced as permeated water produced by the filtering in the two or more stages.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing water for pure water, the method and apparatus capable of efficiently adding agents to water to be supplied to a reverse osmosis membrane. The method for producing water for pure water includes: obtaining first treated water by adding a polyaluminum chloride to raw water containing free chlorine; obtaining second treated water by adding a reducing agent containing sodium disulfite as an active ingredient to the first treated water; and treating the second treated water with a reverse osmosis membrane.

Abstract: A test substance detection method includes: a step A in which a sample containing a test substance and water, a compound having a structure in which a response site and a recognition site are connected via a spacer, and a surfactant are added; and a step B in which the recognition site and the test substance interact and a response at the response site arising from the interaction is detected. Further, also provided are: a purified water production method and an injection water production method both using the foregoing; a detection agent composition containing a compound represented by Formula (1) and a surfactant; and a detection apparatus, a purified water production facility, and an injection water production facility, all using the foregoing.

Abstract: A method for starting up a hot ultrapure water production system that produces hot ultrapure water by heating ultrapure water to a supply water temperature, for supplied to a point of use, the method involving: alternately passing heated water and cooled water through a hot ultrapure water pipe through which the hot ultrapure water flows, the heated water being obtained by heating the ultrapure water to a temperature higher than room temperature and the cooled water being obtained by cooling the ultrapure water to a temperature lower than the temperature of the heated water in a range of from room temperature to the supply water temperature.

Abstract: A method of detecting an endotoxin of detecting an endotoxin from a test subject sample using a fluorescent substance having a structure in which a fluorescent site and a recognition site are connected by a spacer, wherein the recognition site recognizes a specific site of a molecular structure of an endotoxin.

Abstract: A chelate complex is removed from a chemical which is used in a semiconductor production process and contains a compound having a chelating ability, and the cleaning load is also reduced. Specifically disclosed is a method for purifying a chemical which is used in a semiconductor production process and contains a compound having a chelating ability, wherein a chelate complex which is formed from impurity metals such as nickel and copper contained in an alkaline chemical is removed from the chemical by treating the alkaline chemical with an organic complex adsorbing material.

Abstract: Foreign substances which are not inherently contained in a polishing slurry are selectively separated and removed from a polishing slurry component comprised of abrasives, a solvent and an additive which are inherently contained in the polishing slurry.

Abstract: A method for quantitative determination of nickel and/or copper, by which an ultratrace amount of nickel and/or copper contained in a liquid sample can be easily and simply determined in situ; and apparatus to be used in the method. The method comprises a step of adding a complex-forming agent capable of forming a complex with nickel and copper to a liquid sample containing nickel and/or copper in unknown concentrations to form colored fine particles of a nickel complex and/or a copper complex and a step of determining the quantities of nickel and/or copper on the basis of the colored fine particles.
