USE OF TETRAPHENYLBORATE FOR EXTRACTION OF AMMONIUM IONS AND AMINES FROM WATER

摘要

A method of removing ammonium ions or amines from contaminated water includes treating the water with sodium tetraphenylborate under acidic conditions. Advantageously, the tetraphenylborate is immobilized on polymer beads and the water is contacted with the beads or passed through a bed of the beads.
