Abstract

Aqueous solutions of an amine N-oxide such as N-methyl morpholine N-oxide used in the manufacture of regenerated cellulose can be purified by passage through a strongly basic anion-exchange resin. The resin is regenerated by treatment with (1) an aqueous solution of a strong inorganic acid such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acid and (2) an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
