Abstract

Abstract A process for removing cationic substances from an aqueous solution, which comprises bringing the solution into contact with a cellulose-containing material which has been chemically modified anionically and in which the anionic constituent is bonded to the cellulose moiety by a grouping of the general formula --O--CH.sub.2 --N< wherein the nitrogen belongs to an amide group of the anionic constituent and the oxygen atom is bonded to the cellulose.
