Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing Cr(VI) ions from an aqueous electrolyte solution, particularly an electrolyte solution for electrochemical metal machining, which comprises the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) with Fe(II) ions. The Fe(II) ions are added to the electrolyte solution in the form of an aqueous salt solution which has been brought into contact with an ion exchange resin loaded with Fe(II) ions. The invention further relates to a device (1) for electrochemical machining of a workpiece (2) by means of an aqueous electrolyte solution (6), which has an ion exchanger (11) which has been loaded with an ion exchange resin charged with Fe(II) ions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a composition comprising polythiophene, comprising the method steps: I) provision of a composition Z1 comprising thiophene monomers and an oxidising agent; II) oxidative polymerisation of the thiophene monomers by reducing the oxidising agent to a reduction product and oxidation of the thiophene monomer, forming a composition Z2 comprising a polythiophene and the reduction product; III) at least partial removal of the reduction product from the composition Z2 obtained in method step II), obtaining a composition Z3; wherein the composition Z3 has a sulfate content in the range from 100 ppm to 1,000 ppm, based on the total weight of the composition Z3. The present invention also relates to a composition obtainable as the composition Z3 produced with this method, a composition comprising a polythiophene, a layer construction, an electronic component and the use of a composition.
