The present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor and inhibitor provided within a coating material for coating a metal, particularly but not exclusively steel. The corrosion inhibitor in a coating particularly protects a sacrificial coating such as zinc or zinc alloy on galvanised steel which in turn therefore provides improved corrosion resistance to the underlying steel. According to an aspect of the invention there is a corrosion inhibitor provided in a polymer binder, the corrosion inhibitor comprising an organic ion in an ion exchange resin.

The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to a method including demineralizing a protein liquor (i.e., a liquid portion of a lysed microcrop (e.g., Lemna) that has been separated to generate the liquid portion and a solid portion and having a composition including a soluble microcrop protein and a Vitamin B12) to generate a demineralized protein liquor. According to some embodiments, demineralizing the protein liquor may include diafiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis filtration, electrodialysis, and/or passing the protein liquor through an ion exchange resin (e.g., an anion exchange resin. a trialkyl ammonium salt having three methyl groups). In some embodiments, a method may further include concentrating a demineralized protein liquor to generate at least one of a milk base and an electrolyte drink.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of detecting carbon dioxide in a gaseous sample, the method comprising: flowing the gaseous sample through an anion exchange resin that is capable of selectively adsorbing CO.sub.2 present in the gaseous sample; releasing the adsorbed CO.sub.2 from the resin by heating the resin to a temperature in the range 80 to 250° C. to obtain a concentrated gaseous sample; determining the amount of an isotopic form of CO.sub.2 in the concentrated gaseous sample by infrared absorption spectroscopy.

The invention relates to a method for obtaining an N-acetylglucosamine containing neutral oligosaccharide from a fermentation broth, wherein said oligosaccharide is produced by culturing a genetically modified microorganism capable of producing said oligosaccharide from an internalized carbohydrate precursor, comprising the steps of: i) ultrafiltration (UF), preferably to separate biomass from the broth, ii) nanofiltration (NF), preferably to concentrate said oligosaccharide in the broth and/or reduce an inorganic salt content of the broth, and iii) treating the broth with an ion exchange resin, preferably to remove charged materials, and/or subjecting the broth to chromatography, preferably to remove hydrophobic impurities.
