have been performed using solutions of poly(methy1 methacrylate) with methanol, hexane and diethyl ether as precipitants; they involved size exclusion chromatography, the use of polymer with V-labelled end-groups and the use of "C-labelled benzoyl peroxide as a contaminant in the polymer. Methanol is the most satisfactory of the precipitants for the removal of the contaminant, but hexane leads to the best recovery of those polymer molecules which are comparatively small. Similar studies with polystyrene showed that methanol is preferable to hexane not only for the removal of the contaminant but also for recovery of small polymer molecules.

The abundance of metal ions in galvanic waste solutions enables these solutions to be used for recovery of metals as well as complexing agents such as citrate and tartrate. The addition of oxalic acid to solutions containing complexing agents precipitates pure metal oxalate or mixtures of metal oxal
