Claims6
A polyketone triglyceride composition containing 8 to 16 ketone carbonyl moieties per triglyceride unit.
A method for making a polyketone triglyceride composition, said method comprising providing a hydroxyl vegetable oil triglyceride having 8 to 16 hydroxyl moieties per triglyceride unit, reacting said hydroxyl moieties with an oxidant, and isolating a polyketone triglyceride from the reaction of said hydroxyl vegetable oil triglyceride having 8 to 16 hydroxyl moieties per triglyceride unit and oxidant;
- wherein said method utilizes a non-aqueous solvent.
A method to remove metal species from a material suspected of containing one or more metal ion species, said method comprising contacting said material with a polyketone triglyceride containing 8 to 16 ketone carbonyl moieties per triglyceride unit for a period of time and under conditions effective for sequestering said metal species by said polyketone triglyceride, and separating said polyketone triglyceride from said material.
