Attorney, Agent or Firm: Bell, Boyd & Lloyd
This process consists in placing liquid DMSO with a low water content in contact with an ion exchange resin in --SO.sub.3 H form, and then in separating the liquid from the resin. The DMSO thus obtained has a content of iron cation tracer element of less than or equal to 1 ppb and a content of Na cation tracer element of less than or equal to 2 ppb. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
Process for the purification of dimethy sulphoxide (DMSO) to decrease the content of cations comprising: 1) a DMSO in liquid state and with a low water content is selected, 2) this DMSO is placed in contact with a solid consisting of an ion exchange sulphonic resin having its active groups in sulphonic acid (SO.
sub.
3 H) form, 3) the liquid consisting of the purified DMSO with very low contents of cations is then separated from the solid, optionally by filtration, percolation or centrifugation.
2.
Process according to claim 1, wherein the placing in contact of the DMSO at step (b) takes place at a temperature of from 19 to 80.
degree.
C.
3.
Process according to claim 1, wherein the resin is based on a polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer.
4.
Process according to claim 1, wherein the placing in contact of the DMSO with the solid takes place at a temperature of from 19 to 80.
degree.
C.
5.
Process according to claim 4, wherein the temperature is from 20 to 50.
degree.
C.
6.
Process for the purification of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) to decrease the content of metal cations therein, comprising: (a) a DMSO in liquid state and with a low water content of less or equal to 0.
15% by weight is selected, (b) this DMSO is placed in contact with a solid consisting of an ion exchange sulphonic resin having its active groups in sulphonic acid (SO3H) form, this resin being based on a polystyrene-divinyl benzene copolymer in which the divinylbenzene represents from 50 to 60% by weight of the copolymer, and (c) the liquid consisting of the purified DMSO with very low contents of metal cations is then separated from the solid, optionally by filtration, percolation or centrifugation.
Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a process for the purification of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and to the DMSO thus purified.
