Abstract
Abstract This invention provides an industrially advantageous method of regenerating a large quantity of contaminated gels by treating a contaminated gel which has become less active in separation performance with an aqueous solution of a metallic salt or ammonium salt of thiocyanic acid, nitric acid, or hydrogen iodide having a concentration of from 30 weight % to saturation, at a temperature between 50° and 120° C., thereby effectively removing contaminants in the interstices among the gel particles or contaminants on the active points.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A method of regenerating gels for use in liquid chromatography, characterized in that a gel which has become less active in separation performance is treated with an aqueous solution of a metallic salt or ammonium salt or a member selected from the group consisting of a salt of thiocyanic acid or hydrogen iodide having a concentration of from 30 weight % to saturation, at a temperature between 50° and 120° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
71 words
A method of regenerating gels for use in liquid chromatography, characterized in that a gel which has become less active in separation performance is treated with an aqueous solution of a metallic salt or ammonium salt or a member selected from the group consisting of a salt of thiocyanic acid or hydrogen iodide having a concentration of from 30 weight % to saturation, at a temperature between 50° and 120° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said gel is treated with an alkali-metal salt or the ammonium salt of thiocyanic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said gel is treated batchwise under vibration or stirring in a treating bath.
