表面能与晶体生长/溶解动力学研究的新动向

界面现象使物质在结晶过程中出现了临界现象.但最近的研究指出在物质溶解过程中,在表面能量的控制下也存在着临界现象以及尺寸效应.实验发现,当晶体自身小到一 定的程度时(通常在纳米尺度上并和临界蚀坑的大小相近),在溶解过程中其速度会自发降 低,反应被抑制乃至停止.尽管在热力学上表面能的因素可以赋予小颗粒晶体较大的溶解度 ,但表面能却也能通过对临界条件的控制而使这些微粒在动力学上不被溶解.这个发现不仅 解决了纳米颗粒在水溶液中稳定性的问题,而且还从动力学的角度解释了生物矿物选择纳米 尺度作为其基本构成单元的原因.由于表面能和晶体生长/溶解的动力学有着密切的关系, 我们可以通过对表面能的调节来修改它们的动力学速度和晶体的形貌.反过来,也可以用动力学的方法来测定表面能及表面吸附/脱附常数等.相对于常规的界面研究手段,通过生 长和溶解动力学途径所得的数据有着很好的可靠性及重复性.我们认为,晶体生长和溶解的 动力学和表面能的研究相结合,不仅为界面研究提供了新的思路和方法,而且也会推动晶体生长和材料科学的发展.

Removal of phosphate by aluminum oxide hydroxide

The development and manufacture of an adsorbent to remove phosphate ion for the prevention of eutrophication in lakes are very important. The characteristics of phosphate adsorption onto aluminum oxide hydroxide were investigated to estimate the adsorption isotherms, the rate of adsorption, and the selectivity of adsorption. Phosphate was easily adsorbed onto aluminum oxide hydroxide, because of the hydroxyl groups. The adsorption of phosphate onto aluminum oxide hydroxide was influenced by pH in solution: the amount adsorbed was greatest at pH 4, ranging with pH from 2 to 9. The optimum pH for phosphate removal by aluminum oxide hydroxide is 4. The selectivity of phosphate adsorption onto aluminum oxide hydroxide was evaluated based on the amount of phosphate ion adsorbed onto aluminum oxide hydroxide from several anion complex solutions. It is phosphate that aluminum oxide hydroxide can selectively adsorb. The selectivity of phosphate onto aluminum oxide hydroxide was about 7000 times that of chloride. This result indicated that the hydroxyl groups on aluminum oxide hydroxide have selective adsorptivity for phosphate and could be used for the removal of phosphate from seawater.     

Molecular models of aluminum hydroxide

A method is presented for taking into account the boundary conditions in cluster models of crystal structures containing aluminum atoms in the octahedral oxygen environment. The method of modified neglect of diatomic overlap (MNDO) was used to calculate energy and geometric characteristics of molecular models of the elementary layer of the aluminum hydroxide crystal.Institute of Surface Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.

ATR-FTIR investigation on the complexation of myo-inositol hexaphosphate with aluminum hydroxide

The adsorption isotherm of and the pH effect on the adsorption of myo-inositol hexaphosphate (myo-IP6) on amorphous aluminum hydroxide was investigated. It was found that the adsorption isotherm of myo-IP6 on aluminum hydroxide could be well fitted with the Freundlich isotherm. The amount of myo-IP6 adsorbed remained almost constant in the range of pH 4.0 to 7.0, but it decreased considerably as the initial pH was over 7. The adsorption of myo-IP6 resulted in an increase in the pH level due to the release of OH(-) ions, which suggested that the adsorption of myo-IP6 on aluminum hydroxide was caused by a ligand exchange reaction. ATR-FTIR analysis of myo-IP6 in solution and adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide at different pH were performed. The ATR-FTIR investigation indicated that myo-IP6 was adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide by forming inner-sphere complexes and adsorption facilitated the deprotonation of phosphate groups. The asymmetric vibration of the PO bond in AlPO(-)(3) appearing at a lower frequency than that in the terminal HPO(-)(3) indicated that Al bound to the O atom not as strongly as the H atom did. The ATR-FTIR investigation and theoretical calculation (with the Gaussian 03 program) revealed that three of the six phosphate groups in myo-IP6 molecules were bound to aluminum hydroxide while the other three remained free when myo-IP6 was adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide.     

Surface complexation of condensed phosphate to aluminum hydroxide: an ATR-FTIR spectroscopic investigation

Two model compounds, sodium pyrophosphate (pyro-P) and sodium tripolyphosphate (tripoly-P), were employed to elucidate the binding mechanisms of condensed phosphate on aluminum hydroxide by utilizing attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. Peak assignments for the condensed phosphates in the solution phase and those adsorbed on the surface of aluminum hydroxide were made. Electron delocalization and polarization were employed to explain the peak shifts and the complexation of condensed phosphate with aluminum hydroxide. The tripoly-P and pyro-P were adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide by forming inner-sphere complexes. The adsorbed condensed phosphates were deprotonated in the pH range from 4 to 10. Monodentate, bidentate, and binuclear complexes were formed when pyro-P was adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide, while monodentate and binuclear complexes were formed when tripoly-P was adsorbed. Based on the FTIR data, we proposed that when either bidentate or binuclear complexes were formed, the two oxygen atoms participating in the complexation with aluminum hydroxide could not be originated from the same terminal phosphate moiety. The AlO bond formed in the complexation of pyro-P or tripoly-P with aluminum hydroxide (AlPO(-3)) was not as strong as the HO bond in terminal HPO(-3). The bridging PO(-2) of tripoly-P did not coordinate with aluminum hydroxide. The real-time ATR-FTIR study on condensed phosphate adsorption revealed that a long contact time between condensed phosphates and aluminum hydroxide particles can result in a transformation of an initially formed species into a thermodynamically more stable phase.     

Preparation and physical properties of flame retardant acrylic resin containing nano-sized aluminum hydroxide

Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) shows high strength and transparency but is a flammable material. In this study, the surface of aluminum hydroxide was modified with methacrylate containing phosphoric acid moieties before dispersion in MMA, and organic-inorganic nano-hybrid materials were obtained by bulk polymerization in the presence of the surface-modified aluminum hydroxide. The resulting hybrid materials retained the high transparency of PMMA, with transparency values similar to that of pure PMMA. Moreover, the flame resistance of the hybrid materials was improved in comparison with that of pure PMMA, with depression of the horizontal burning rate becoming a maximum at an inorganic content of 3 wt%. These results suggest that the use of aluminum hydroxide surface-modified with phosphoric acid groups is an efficient method for obtaining good performance fire-resistant polymer materials.     

Interactions of bovine serum albumin with aluminum polyoxocations and aluminum hydroxide

Interactions of aqueous solutions of aluminum polyoxocations (Al13-mers and Al30-mers) and aluminum hydroxide suspensions of varying particle sizes (26, 55, and 82 nm) with a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), have been investigated using potentiometry, conductometry, viscometry, 27Al solution NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta-potential measurements, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Increasing amounts of BSA partially convert Al13-mers and, to a larger extent, Al30-mers into amorphous Al hydroxide without gel formation. At the same time, BSA molecules can form unstable aggregates in the Al polyoxocation solutions which redisperse easily upon standing. In the case of Al hydroxide sols, BSA addition causes substantial gelation, the extent of which is proportional to the amount of BSA added and inversely related to the Al hydroxide particle size. Upon freeze-drying or centrifugation of Al species-BSA solutions, an interesting sheetlike morphology with 150-200 nm wide nanoribbons is observed for pure Al hydroxide nanoparticles and for solutions of Al polyoxocations with the highest amount of BSA studied. On the basis of the combined solution, colloidal and solid-state characterization of model Al species-BSA systems, a qualitative model of possible interactions in the Al polyoxocation-BSA and Al hydroxide-BSA systems is proposed wherein core-shell hybrid nanoparticles are formed from protein "core" and Al polyoxocation "shell" or Al hydroxide "core" and protein "shell".     

Intercalation compounds of aluminum hydroxide

Crystalline aluminum trihydroxides Al(OH)₃ (gibbsite, baverite, and nordstrandite) can serve as layered intercalation matrices in which metal salts are arranged in a specific way. Small cations (lithium, magnesium, and transition metals) lie in the octahedral voids of aluminum hydroxide layers, and water molecules are located between the layers. This localization of small cations gives rise to the molecular sieve effect, where alkaline and alkaline earth cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, etc.), which are large relative to the octahedral voids, are not intercalated into aluminum trihydroxides. In the first step of lithium salt intercalation, the cations, the anions, and the water molecules are incorporated into the interlayer space of aluminum hydroxide with subsequent transition of lithium into the voids of the layer.

Orthophosphate and metaphosphate ion removal from aqueous solution using alum and aluminum hydroxide

The removal of orthophosphates (10(-2) kg P m(-3)), condensed phosphates (10(-2) kg P m(-3)), and mixtures of both (5 x 10(-3) kg P m(-3) as orthophosphate and 5 x 10(-3) kg P m(-3) as metaphosphate) in aqueous solution is studied using alum and aluminum hydroxide. The effects of coagulant dose, pH, temperature, aging of aluminum hydroxide, and presence of different ions are investigated. On the basis of the experimental results, alum is much more efficient in phosphorus removal than aluminum hydroxide even if, in both cases, at the conditions studied, the active coagulant form is Al(OH)(3). The differences then could be due to the higher activity of the in situ formed hydroxide. Orthophosphates and metaphosphates seem to have similar behavior vs pH variation: maximum removal is achieved at pH values 5-6 in all cases. On the other hand, in the simultaneous presence of both P forms, orthophosphate and metaphosphate ions have different affinities for the surface sites of aluminum hydroxide, since for both alum and aluminum hydroxide, orthophosphates are preferentially removed compared to metaphosphates, due probably to orientation effects and the charge per P atom. The presence of sodium, potassium, magnesium, sulfate, chloride, and magnesium, at the concentrations studied and for a pH value of 6, does not influence P removal. Temperature variation, between 25 and 60 degrees C, does not affect alum efficiency but both P forms are increasingly removed with increasing temperature, probably due to polymer Al(OH)(3) breaking, producing new surfaces for adsorption. Aging decreases sorption capacity of Al(OH)(3), while crystallites of increasing size are formed. Finally adsorption of both P forms is best described by the Freundlich isotherm [[K(F)=(49.1-69.1) x 10(-3) (m(3)kg(-1))(1/N), 1/N: 0.14-0.19 for T=25-60 degrees C] and [ K(F)=(1.58-2.79) x 10(-3) (m(3)kg(-1))(1/N), 1/N: 2.17-2.47 for T=25-60 degrees C] for orthophosphate and metaphosphate, respectively.     

Aqueous route to prepare large-scale array of highly ordered polystyrene/aluminum hydroxide microspheres

Monodisperse aluminum hydroxide coated polystyrene (PS) microspheres and their array in large scale was prepared at one step in aqueous solution. The coated PS microsphere arrays are highly ordered and have remarkable structural stability. The arrays can be in plate form and hollow sphere form, depending on the concentration of aluminum sulfate. Hollow aluminum hydroxide shell arrays can be also obtained with calcination.     

Protection of aluminum hydroxide during lyophilisation as an adjuvant for freeze-dried vaccines

Lyophilisation of an aluminum hydroxide adjuvant containing formulation for use in vaccine development has been investigated. Novel formulation approaches using disaccharides, polysaccharides, polyols and polymers have been investigated as stabilising excipients to prevent aluminum hydroxide adjuvant from aggregation during a freeze–thaw cycle or the lyophilisation process itself. Amorphous character of the lyophilisates was investigated by wide angle X-ray diffraction. Sedimentation assay, particle size analysis and optical microscopy could show that aluminum adjuvant gel character of selected formulations could be maintained within acceptable quality or stayed the same in some cases. In principle, it could be demonstrated that not less than 10% excipient is necessary to yield good results within applied analytics evaluating the excipients’ protecting qualities. Based on results obtained by this study, the formulations containing trehalose at a concentration of 15 or 20%, dextran, PVP K 25, HES 450 and 200, saccharose and sorbitole along with polysorbate 80 and buffer promise to be good candidates for the protection of aluminum adjuvanted vaccines during exposure to coldness stresses as during freezing or lyophilisation.
