A system for separating competing anions from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a flow of water contaminated with PFAS and elevated levels of competing anions that includes a separation subsystem which receives the flow of water contaminated with PFAS and elevated levels of competing anions and separates competing anions from the PFAS and concentrates the PFAS to produce a treated flow of water having separated competing anions therein and a flow of water having a majority of PFAS therein. At least one anion exchange vessel having an anion exchange resin therein receives the flow of water having a majority of PFAS therein and removes PFAS from the water to produce a flow of treated water having a majority of the PFAS removed. The separation of competing anions by the separation subsystem increases the treatment capacity of the anion exchange resin to remove PFAS from the contaminated water.

Present invention relates to a process to reduce butane sultone hydrolysis products (4-hydroxybutane-1-sulfonic acid, and bis(4-sulfobutyl) ether disodium) in sulfobutylether cyclodextrin reaction mixtures achieved with the combined use of a strong anion exchange resin having dialkyl 2-hydroxyethyl ammonium hydroxide functionality and a cation exchange resin.

An ion exchange chromatographic packing material is described that includes a copolymer grafted to support resin particles. The copolymer includes an ion exchange group, an ionic crosslinking group configured to ionically bind to the ion exchange group, and an adjustable ionization state group having at least a first net charge at the first pH and a second net charge at the second pH. An overall first net charge of the chromatographic packing material at the first pH is opposite in polarity to the overall second net charge of the chromatographic packing material. This allows impurities to be removed from the chromatographic packing material at the second pH.

Ion exchange stationary phases are prepared with diprimary diamines for applications such as separating samples that contain polyvalent anions. The ion exchange stationary phase includes a series of condensation polymer reaction products bound to a substrate. The condensation polymer products are formed with diprimary diamines and polyepoxide compounds. The ion exchange stationary phases described herein are capable of separating monovalent and highly polyvalent anions relatively quickly with relatively low eluent concentrations in one chromatographic run.

A method is provided for manufacturing high-purity vitamin E compounds by selectively separating vitamin E compounds such as tocotrienols and tocopherols from oil raw materials such as deodorized distillate, and more specifically, a method is provided, applying to a rich fraction of vitamin E compounds, for obtaining high-purity vitamin E compounds by separating and removing only free fatty acids contained as impurities. The method comprises a process in which a solution containing vitamin E compounds and free fatty acids is placed in contact with a weakly basic anion exchanger, and the free fatty acids are preferentially adsorbed.

A sustainable system for removing and concentrating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. The system includes an anion exchange vessel having a selected anion exchange resin therein configured to remove PFAS from the water. A line coupled to the vessel introduces a flow of water contaminated with PFAS such that the PFAS bind to the selected anion exchange resin and are thereby removed from the water. A regenerant solution line is coupled to the anion exchange vessel to introduce an optimized regenerant solution to the anion exchange vessel to remove the PFAS from the anion exchange resin, thereby regenerating the anion exchange resin and generating a spent regenerate solution comprised of the removed PFAS and the optimized regenerant solution. A separation and recovery subsystem recovers the optimized regenerant solution for reuse and separates and concentrates the removed PFAS.
