Direct Determination of the Total Concentrations of Magnesium,Calcium, Manganese,and Iron in Addition to their Chemical and Physical Fractions in Dark Honeys

The present work demonstrates a very simple and rapid method for the reliable determination of total concentrations of Mg, Ca, Mn, and Fe in dark honeys by means of flame atomic absorption spectrometry without any special sample pretreatment except for dissolution in water. An analytical scheme for the partitioning of Mg, Ca, Mn, and Fe in analyzed honeys was proposed as well. For a complementary evaluation of fractionation patterns for studied metals, a two linked column solid phase extraction procedure with a nonionic adsorbing resin Amberlite XAD-16 and a strong cation exchange resin Dowex 50 W × 8–200 in addition to an ultrafiltration procedure with five membranes having molecular weight cut-offs of 5, 10, 30, 50, and 100 kDa were used. In the course of the fractionation analysis, it was found that the most dominant group of species is the one containing cationic forms of metals bound to low molecular weight (<5 kDa, 5–10 kDa) natural honey bioligands and is mostly the case of simple ions and labile species of Mg, Ca, Mn, and Fe. Correspondingly, the contribution of the cationic fraction for these metals in analyzed dark honeys was up to 96% (Mg), 95% (Ca), 90% (Mn), and 86% (Fe). A significant contribution of the hydrophobic fraction was also established; it was maximally 10, 18, 20, and 25% for Mg, Ca, Mn, and Fe, respectively.     

Fractionation analysis of manganese and zinc in beers by means of two sorbent column system and flame atomic absorption spectrometry

In the present article, a method of operational fractionation of Mn and Zn in beer using flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. The proposed fractionation scheme was based on use of a hydrophobic adsorbing resin Amberlite XAD7 (first column, 2 g resin bed) connected in a series with a strong cation exchanger Dowex 50Wx4 (second column, 1 g resin bed). After passing the samples of beers through the columns, distinct groupings of Mn and Zn species retained on the sorbents, i.e., hydrophobic fraction of polyphenols bound metal species and cationic metal species fraction, respectively, were determined in respective eluates obtained after complete recovery of Mn and Zn species with 10 ml of 2.0 mol l⁻¹ HNO₃ (first column) and 10 ml of 4.0 mol l⁻¹ HCl (second column). In addition, the effluents collected were analyzed prior to the evaluation of the third, residual fraction, presumably attributed to any hydrophilic anionic and inert metal species. The established fractionation patterns for Mn and Zn were discussed in reference to likely associations of metals with endogenous food bioligands and possible availability of the distinguished metal species classes. The quality of the results was proved by the recovery experiments.     

Adsorption behavior of phenolic compounds onto polymeric adsorbents modified with 2-carboxybenzoyl groups

<正>Two hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbents(ZH-01 and Amberlite XAD-4 resin) were employed to remove three kinds of phenolic compounds including phenol,4-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol from aqueous solutions.The study was focused on the static equilibrium adsorption behavior,the column dynamic adsorption and desorption profiles.The Freundlich model gave a perfect fitting to the isotherm data.The adsorbing capacities for these three compounds on ZH-01 were higher than those on Amberlite XAD-4 within the temperature range 288-318 K,which was attributed to the large micropore area and 2-carboxybenzoyl functional groups on the network of ZH-01 resin.The adsorption for phenol and 4- nitrophenol on ZH-01 was a physical adsorption process,while for 2,4-dinitrophenol it was a coexistence process of physical adsorption and chemisorption's transitions.The column test showed the advantages of ZH-01 in the dynamic adsorption processes of phenolic compounds.Being used as the desorption reagent,sodium hydroxide solution showed an excellent performance.     

Batch and column study: sorption of perfluorinated surfactants from water and cosolvent systems by Amberlite XAD resins

Amberlite XAD resins have been employed to a great extent as the sorbent for removing or concentrating organic compounds from different matrices. We present for the first time a systematic study on the sorption of perfluorochemical (PFC) surfactants, an emerging class of environmental contaminants, by XAD-7HP (moderately polar) and XAD-2 (nonpolar). The results show that XAD-7HP can strongly sorb PFCs at circumneutral pH; the isotherm-determined linear sorption coefficient can reach 10(6)L/kg. On the other hand, the sorption coefficient for XAD-2 was two orders of magnitude lower than that for XAD-7HP. PFC sorption on XAD-7HP increased with an increase of the perfluorocarbon chain length of PFC and a decrease of the solution pH, indicating the importance of hydrophobic and electrostatic effects. The sorption coefficient for XAD-7HP reduced markedly with increasing fraction of the organic cosolvent (methanol) in the water-cosolvent mixture; however, the trend could not be predicted by a log-linear cosolvency model. Furthermore, the statistical analysis of column test results showed that after regeneration XAD-7HP can be used at least eight times without significant loss of performance. Finally, the experimental results imply that XAD-7HP sorption of shorter-chained PFCs (≤5 perfluorinated carbons) from water can be thermodynamically favorable.     

A WATER-COMPATIBLE PHENOLIC HYDROXYL MODIFIED POLYSTYRENE AS AN ADSORBENT FOR ADSORBING PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

1. INTRUDUCTION As most phenolic compounds are extremely toxic at the concentrations discharged into accepting effluents, the removal or destruction of phenolic compounds from such streams has become a significant environmental task [1]. Increasing concern for public health and environmental quality has led to the establishment of limits on the acceptable environmental levels of specific pollutants [2]. Consequently there has been a growing interest in developing and implementing various …     

A WATER—COMPATIBLE PHENOLIC HYDROXYL ODIFIED POLYSTYRENE AS AN ADSORBENT FOR ADSORBING PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

A water-compatible phenolic hydroxyl modified polystyrene adsorbent (AM-1) for adsorbing and removing phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions was prepared by covalent bonding of phenolic hydroxyl groups to the surface of porous polystyrene-divinylbenzene beads,this resin can be used directly without wetting process.A comparison of the sorption properites of the new resin and Amberlite XAD-4 toward four phenolic compounds,phenol,p-cresol,p-chlorophenol,and p-nitrophenol was made.The capacities of equilibrium adsorption of AM-1 for all four phenolic compounds increased around 20% over that of Amberlite XAD-4,which may be contributed to pheonl hydroxyl group on the surface and the unusual poe distribution.At their dilute solution,the equilibrium adsorption capacities of AM-1 for phenol increased aout 62% over that of Amberlite XAD-4,while equilibrium adsorption capacities of the other three phenolic compounds increased 4-35%,suggesting an advantage of AM-1 over Amberlite XAD-4 in the collection of phenol.Freundlich isotherm equations and isosteric adsorption enthalpies for the four phenolic compunds indicate a physical adsorption process on the Amberlite XAD-4 and AM-1 resins,Column studies for phenol show that AM-1 resin has excellent adsorption and desorption performance.     

Manganese and zinc operational fractionation in beer by means of tandem ion exchange column assemblage and flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A straightforward method is presented for the operational fractionation of Mn and Zn in beer based on use of a tandem ion exchange column assemblage. Degassed beer samples were driven through the system comprising the weak anion exchanger Reillex 402 (first column) connected in a series with the strong cation exchanger Dowex 50Wx4 (second column). The relevant metal groupings retained on the exchangers, i.e., the fraction of the metals bound to the polyphenols, and the fraction of the cationic metal species, were determined respectively in the effluents (5-mL portions) sampled during the passage of the samples through the first column, and in the eluates obtained by the elution of Mn and Zn species (with 10 mL of 4.0 mol L⁻¹ HCl) from the second column, after passing the samples through the tandem column system. Additionally, the effluents obtained after loading the tandem column system with the samples were also collected and taken to the analysis in order to asses the donation of the third, residual fraction. The usefulness of the fractionation scheme is illustrated by the analysis of three bottled beers produced by a local brewery. The fractionation patterns established for Mn and Zn are discussed regarding the possible associations of the metals under consideration with different endogenous beer ligands.     

Use of amberlite XAD-7HP for the separation of Mn(II) and Mn(VII) in waters

A simple method is proposed for the determination and speciation of Mn(II) and Mn(VII) in waters utilizing a macroporous resin, Amberlite XAD-7HP. The batch method was employed and flame atomic absorption spectrometry was used in all determinations. Amberlite XAD-7HP resin was shown to retain Mn(VII) between pH 4 and 12. If the solution contains only one of the species, either Mn(II) or Mn(VII), the resin behaves selectively depending on the pH of the solution. The elution from the sorbent was realized using K₂C₂O₄ in HNO₃. The efficiency of the method was checked via spike recovery experiments. The proposed method was successfully applied to industrial wastewater samples and quantitative recoveries (≥96.0%) confirmed the accuracy of the method.     

Synthesis and Application of a New Acrylic Ester Resin for Recycling SIPA from its Water Solution

A new acrylic ester polymer YWB-7 resin was prepared and characterized. The properties of YWB-7 resin were compared with those of the commercial Amberlite XAD-7, Diaion HP2MG and hypercrosslinked macroporous polymer NDA-150 resins. Both surface area and micropore area of YWB-7 resin were bigger than those of XAD-7 resin and HP2MG resin. The YWB-7 resin was successfully employed to recycle 5-sodiosulfoisophthalic acids （SIPA） from its solutions with and without methanol.     

ADSORPTION OF BENZOIC ACID AND P-NITROBENZOIC ACID ON A NEW HYPERCROSSLINKED PHENOL GROUP PST ADSORBENT

A comparison of the adsorption of benzoic acid and p-nitrobenzoic acid on the new hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent AM-I, with that by macroporous Amberlite XAD-4, including the equilibrium adsorption isotherms, the dynamic adsorption behaviors through column and the adsorption thermodynamics were studied. Results show that Freundlich equation gives a fitting adsorption isotherm. The specific surface of AM-l is only 67% of that of Amberlite XAD-4, but the adsorption capacities on AM-1 are much higher about 125%～166% than that on Amberlite XAD-4,which is contributed to the micropore mechanism and polarity. The negative values of the adsorption enthalpy are indicative of an exothermic process. Enthalpy and free energy changes of adsorption both manifest a physic-sorption process. The negative values of the adsorption entropy indicate that the adsorption is well consistent with the restricted mobilities and the configurations of the adsorbed benzoic acid molecules on the surface of studied adsorbents with superficial heterogeneity. Both adsorbents were used in mini-column experiments for adsorbing benzoic acid expecting to elucidate the higher breakthrough adsorption capacity of the new hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent AM-1 as compared with that of Amberlite XAD-4.

Extraction of Organic Compounds from Aqueous Media by Amberlite XAD Resins

Abstract

Three Amberlite polymeric resins, XAD-2, XAD-4 and XAD-7, were evaluated for extraction efficiency from aqueous media of several organic compounds representing pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phenols and phthalate esters. The three resins exhibited different extraction characteristics. The extraction efficiency of the resins was found to be dependent on pH conditions and, on the average, was best at pH7. At this pH the XAD-2 and XAD-4 resins yielded quantitative recoveries in the 90–100% range for most compounds at the 20–200ppb level. Recoveries by XAD-7 resins were lower for several compounds. The recovery of aldrin and o, p DDT under all conditions was relatively low (>68%) and showed a higher degree of variability than that obtained for the other compounds. Alkaline pH conditions were generally unfavourable for the extraction of phenolic compounds but acidification to pH2 was not found to be a necessary step for the quantitative extraction of the phenolic compounds. Acidification to pH2 further led to a decrease in the recovery of most compounds for XAD-4 resins. A combined resin column yielded extraction efficiencies comparable to the XAD-2 column at pH 7, but since the three resins possess different extraction characteristics, a mixture comprising all three is recommended for the preconcentration of organic compounds from environmental water samples containing a wide range of compounds.     

Removal of detergent and solvent from solvent-detergent-treated immunoglobulins.

The solvent-detergent (S/D) method was applied for inactivation of lipid-enveloped viruses during the production of immunoglobulins. Amberlite XAD-7 resin was used for removal of solvent (tri-n-butyl phosphate, TnBP) and detergent (Triton X-100) after the performed S/D inactivation procedure. The S/D reagents from the immunoglobulin preparation were adsorbed on Amberlite XAD-7, while immunoglobulins passed through the column and retained their biological activity. Using the method developed here, the final immunoglobulin preparation contains less than 1 ppm of Triton X-100 and less than 2 ppm TnBP.     

A WATER-COMPATIBLE PHENOLIC HYDROXYL MODIFIED POLYSTYRENE AS AN ADSORBENT FOR ADSORBING PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

A water-compatible phenolic hydroxyl modified polystyrene adsorbent (AM-1) foradsorbing and removing phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions was prepared by covalent bonding of phenolic hydroxyl groups to the surface of porous polystyrene-divinylbenzene beads, this resin can be used directly without wetting process. A comparison of the sorption properties of the new resin and Amberlite XAD-4 toward four phenolic compounds, phenol, p-cresol, p-chlorophenol,and p-nitrophenol was made. The capacities of equilibrium adsorption of AM-l for all four phenolic compounds increased around 20% over that of Amberlite XAD-4, which may be contributed to phenol hydroxyl group on the surface and the unusual pore distributior. At their dilute solution, the equilibrium adsorption capacities of AM-1 for phenol increased about 62% over that of Amberlite X4D-4, while equilibrium adsorption capacities of the other three phenolic compounds increased 4-35%, suggesting an advantage of AM-I over Amberlite XAD-4 in the collection of phenol.Freundlich isotherm equations and isosteric adsorption enthalpies for the four phenolic compounds indicate a physical adsorption process on the Amberlite XAD-4 and AM-I resins. Column studies for phenol show that AM-1 resin has excellent adsorption and desorption performance.     

一种亲水的酚羟基修饰聚苯乙烯树脂对酚类化合物的吸附热力学

在283-323K和研究的浓度范围内,苯酚、对甲苯酚、对氯苯酚和对硝基苯酚在亲水性的酚羟基修饰聚苯乙烯树脂（AM-1）与大孔吸附树脂（Amberlite XAD-4)上平衡吸附数据符合Freundlich吸附等温方程。酚类化合物在AM-1上的吸附容量比在Amberlite XAD-4上的吸附容量增加20%以上,这主要得益于AM-1表面的酚羟基入树脂的微孔结构。在较稀的溶液中AM-1对苯酚的吸附量比AmberliteXAD-4对苯酚的吸附量增加60%,表明AM-1对苯酚有特殊的选择性。Freundlich吸附等温线、相对吸附容量以及等量吸附焓表明,四种酚在两种树脂上的吸附是物理吸附过程。对酚类化合物被两种树脂吸附的吸附焓、自由能、吸附熵也作了测试,并对吸附行为作了合理的解释。

A scheme is presented for fractionation of olive components and magnesium determinations in different fractions. The charge of metal species was established using cation exchange with Dowex 50Wx8-40. The resin Amberlite XAD-4 was used for the separation of olive polyphenols in complexes with olive proteins and polysaccharides. The organic and inorganic fraction of magnesium was studied with different solvents as to its bioavailability properties. Flame and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry were used off-line for the determinations of magnesium in the different fractions obtained.     

Evaluation of humic complexes of trace metals in river water by adsorption on indium-treated XAD-2 resin and DEAE-Sephadex A-25 anion exchanger

A combined adsorption procedure for the analytical fractionation of humic/metal complexes in river water is described. It is based on an indium-loaded XAD-2 resin and a DEAE-Sephadex A-25 anion exchanger, respectively. After the separation of suspended particles, an aliquot of the water sample to be analysed is passed through an indium-loaded XAD-2 resin column to collect the metal-humic complexes. A second aliquot is directly passed through a DEAE-Sephadex A-25 anion exchanger column to collect humic complexes and other negatively charged metal species. Both column effluents are analysed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry or by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry for various trace metals (e.g., Al, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Ba). According to this fractionation procedure, significant amounts of iron, aluminium and copper in river water are found to be humic complexes, and less than 15% of nickel, cobalt and zinc are complexed with humic substances. Manganese, strontium and barium are hardly associated with humic substances.     

Isolierung und Anreicherung von Chlorphenoxyessigsäuren aus Wasser mit makroretikulären Adsorberharzen XAD-2 und XAD-7

Herbicide chlorophenoxy acetic acids can be isolated by the macroreticular adsorbing resins Dowex Amberlite XAD-2, XAD-4, XAD-7 and XAD-8. The adsorption of phenoxy acetic acids reaches an optimum at pH 2 and flow rates of about 5 bed-volumes per minute. Elution depends on the polarity and contact time of the eluent. A quantitative isolation of chlorophenoxy acids in the 25 ppb range in water can be achieved by adsorption at the divinylstyrolresin XAD-2 following elution with acetone. Further concentration of the eluate is possible by standard methods.     

Fractionation and speciation of Cu,Zn and Fe in wine samples by atomic absorption spectrometry

The charge of the metal species was established using cation and anion exchange separation based on solid phase extraction. The resin XAD-8 was used for the separation of wine polyphenols in complexes with wine proteins and polysaccharides. Dowex ion exchange resins were used for the separation of cationic and anionic species of Fe, Cu and Zn. Flame atomic absorption spectrometry and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry were used off-line for the quantitative determination of metals in the different fractions obtained.     

Determination of copper(II) in various samples by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry after column preconcentration onto pulverized Amberlite XAD-4 loaded with N-benzoylphenylhydroxylamine

A sensitive technique for the determination of trace Cu(II) in various samples after column preconcentration by adsorbing onto pulverized Amberlite XAD-4 loaded with N-benzoylphenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) was developed. Several experimental conditions, such as the size of XAD-4, adsorption flow rate, pH of sample solution, and so forth, were optimized. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated. Al(III), Fe(III), Ni(II), and Co(II) interfered, but the interference by these ions was completely eliminated by adjusting the amount of XAD-4-BPHA resin to 0.30 g. The dynamic range, the correlation coefficient (R₂), and the detection limit obtained by the proposed technique were 1.0–60, 0.9953, and 0.83 ng/mL, respectively. For validating the technique, the aqueous samples (stream water, reservoir water, and wastewater), the diluted brass sample, and the plastic sample were used as real samples. Recovery yields of 94–102% were obtained. These measured data were not different from ICP-MS data at the 95% confidence level. This method was also validated by rice flour CRM (normal, fortified) samples. Based on the results of the experiment, it has been found that the proposed technique can be applied to the determination of Cu(II) in various real samples.
