Abstract: Methods for the removal of ionic contaminants from a hydrophilic organic solvent by a mixed bed of ion exchange resins are described. A mixed bed of ion exchange resins with gel-type strong-acid cationic ion exchange resin with a specific moisture holding capacity and gel-type anionic ion exchange resin is used in some embodiments of such methods.

Abstract: Provided is a resin composition comprising (a) a collection of resin beads, wherein the collection of resin beads has pH of 8 or above, and wherein the collection of resin beads has volume average diameter of 150 ?m to 2,000 ?m; and (b) a collection of inorganic particles, wherein the inorganic particles contain one or more alkaline earths, and wherein the collection of inorganic particles has volume average diameter of 0.5 ?m to 50 ?m. Also provided is a method of processing an aqueous composition using such a composition.

Abstract: Methods for the removal of ionic contaminants from hydrolysable organic solvent by ion exchange resins are described. A mixed bed of ion exchange resin with cationic ion exchange resin and weak-base anionic ion exchange resin is used in such methods.
