METHOD OF REMOVING IODIDES FROM A NON-AQUEOUS ORGANIC MEDIUM USING SILVER OR MERCURY EXCHANGED MACROPOROUS ORGANOFUNCTIONAL POLYSILOXANE RESINS

摘要

There is provided a macroporous, strong-acid polysiloxane ion exchange resin wherein at least one percent of the active sites have been converted to the silver or mercury form. The resins are particularly useful for removing iodides from non-aqueous organic media such as acetic acid at elevated temperatures. In a particularly preferred method, hexyl iodide is removed from acetic acid.
