A method and materials are described for purification of DNA using ion exchange resins. This ion exchange method provides the means to remove salts and low molecular weight contaminants from DNA in solution without binding or removing the DNA of interest.

Anion-binding polymers are described. The anion-binding polymers in some cases are low swelling anion-binding polymers. In some cases, the anion-binding polymers have a pore volume distribution such that a fraction of the polymer is not available for non-interacting solutes above a certain percentage of the MW of the target ion for the polymer. In some cases, the anion-binding polymers are characterized by low ion-binding interference, where the interference is measured in, for example, a gastrointestinal simulant, relative to non-interfering buffer. Pharmaceutical composition, methods of use, and kits are also described.

The invention discloses a magnetic acrylic acid series strongly basic anion exchange microballoon resin and a preparation method thereof. The microballoon resin has the following structure: the resin skeleton is internally provided with magnetic particles, wherein A stands for a radical containing quaternary ammonium salt. The preparation method comprises the following steps: acrylic acid series substances serve as a monomer, the monomer is mixed with cross-linking agent and pore-forming agent to form oil phase; the oil phase is uniformly mixed with the magnetic particles and then suspension polymerization is carried out on the mixture; after going through amination and alkylation reaction, the polymerized magnetic polymer particles form the quaternary ammonium salt, namely the magnetic acrylic acid series strongly basic anion exchange microballoon resin. Exchange capacity of the resin is higher than any magnetic acrylic acid series strongly basic anion exchange microballoon resin ever found in existing literatures and reports and domestic market as well as foreign markets and can replace the traditional strongly basic anion exchange resin, thus being capable of being used for separating and removing soluble organisms in various water bodies, especially disinfection by-product precursor and multiple negative ions such as nitrate and phosphate.

The present invention relates to a block polymeric material. Typically the block polymer comprises units capable of having an average cationic charge density of about 15 or less, preferably 5 or less, more preferably from about 0.05 to about 5, even more preferably from about 0.05 to about 2.77, even more preferably from about 0.1 to about 2.75, most preferably from about 0.75 to about 2.25 units per 100 daltons molecular weight at a pH of from about 4 to about 12. The polymeric material is a suds enhancer and a suds volume extender for personal care products such as soaps and shampoos. The compositions have increased effectiveness for preventing re-deposition of grease during hand and body washing. The polymers are also effective as a soil release agent in fabric cleaning compositions. The polymeric material is also effective in oil well treating foam, fire-fighting foam, hard surface cleaning foam, shaving cream, post-foaming shaving gel, dephiliatories and as a coagulant/retention aid for titanium dioxide in paper making.

A method for recovering inorganic salt during processing of a lignocellulosic feedstock is provided. The method comprises pretreating the lignocellulosic feedstock by adding an acid to the feedstock to produce a pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock. A soluble base is then added to the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock to adjust the pH and produce a neutralized feedstock. The neutralized feedstock is then enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce an enzyme hydrolyzed feedstock and a sugar stream. Inorganic salt is recovered from either a stream obtained from the lignocellulosic feedstock prior to the step of pretreating, a stream obtained from the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock, a stream obtained from the neutralized feedstock, a stream obtained from the sugar stream, or a combination of these streams. The inorganic salt may be concentrated, clarified, recovered and purified by crystallization, electrodialysis drying, or agglomeration and granulation, and then used as desired, for example as a fertilizer.

Disclosed is an anion-exchange membrane which does not easily deteriorate even when used at high temperatures in a strong alkaline atmosphere. Also disclosed is a method for producing the anion-exchange membrane. The anion-exchange membrane is a microporous membrane which is composed of a water-insoluble resin and an anion-exchange resin filling the pores of the microporous membrane.
