The disclosure relates to the field of metal ion capture, more particularly of selective capture of nickel Ni(II) ions, by a polymeric compound based on a polymer selected from styrenic polymers and chloropolymers. In the polymeric compound, at least one portion of the monomer units of the polymer is functionalised by the ligand, the ligand including at least one chemical group selected from the glyoxime groups.

The glyoxime groups have a strong affinity for the Ni(II) ions, as well as an excellent selectivity vis-à-vis metal ions of chemical properties similar to Ni(II) ions. This ligand thus allows a selective complexation of the Ni(II) ions by the polymeric compound, including in solutions of low concentrations of Ni(II) ions.

The polymeric compound according to at least one embodiment of the disclosure is particularly intended for capturing the Ni(II) ions during the electrogalvanising methods as well as for recycling material comprising nickel.

The present invention provides a class of halogen-containing synthetic base oils, and preparation method and use thereof. The synthetic base oils have introduced with halogen, especially fluorine, wherein the dipole motion of the halogen groups results in dipole interaction between the dipoles of other components and the base oil molecules of dipole-dipole and dipole-induced halogen (especially fluorine), and the interaction force is stronger and more localized than the dispersion force between the molecules of pure hydrocarbon synthetic oils, and thus the performance of the base oils is directly affected. It solved the problem of oil solubility of pure hydrocarbon synthetic oils, and also improved the properties of oxidation resistance and thermal stability.

Polar modifier systems based on a blend of DTHFP, ETE, TMEDA, DMTHFMA and/or functionally similar compounds with BDMAEE and SMT are used to make block copolymers having high levels of pendant vinyl double bond repeat units, which is through highly selective 1,2-bond butadiene addition, low vinylcyclopentane formation, unimodal narrow molecular weight distribution, and a low level of randomized co-monomer repeat units. The block copolymers have very high levels of 1,2-vinyl content and high 3,4-vinyl bond addition of the conjugated diene monomer and low vinylcyclopentane content. The polar modifier systems provide a fast polymerization rate, with a unimodal narrow molecular weight distribution. The polar modifier systems allow operation at a higher temperature than in prior art systems, which reduces cooling requirements.

Fuel consumption properties of a car using tires including the rubber composition may be improved.

Quaternary ammonium tribromides and quaternary phosphonium tribromides are recovered from an organic solvent by washing with an aqueous hydrazine solution. The hydrazine reacts to form nitrogen, hydrobromic acid and a quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium monobromide. The hydrobromic acid and quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium migrate to the aqueous phase, thereby effecting the removal of the tribromides from the organic solvent. The hydrobromic acid can be neutralized with a quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium hydroxide to produce a quaternary ammonium or quaternary phosphonium monobromide. The monobromides produced can be reacted with elemental bromine to regenerate a tribromide brominating agent.
