Comparison of Linear and Nonlinear Forms of Isotherm Models for Strontium Sorption on a Sodium Bentonite

Sorption on bentonite will play an important role in retarding the migration of radionuclides from a waste repository. Bentonite is characterized by low permeability, water swelling capability and excellent sorption potential for cationic radionuclides. To correctly assess the sorption potential of radionuclides on bentonite is essential for the development of predictive migration models. The sorption isotherm model is usually used to describe the sorption behavior and assess the sorption potential of radionuclides on bentonite. However, there are few studies to investigate the feasibility of isotherm models for the sorption of radionuclides on bentonite. Thus, in this study, we compared the goodness-of-fit of linear and nonlinear forms of two common isotherm models, Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The experimental sorption isotherms of strontium (Sr) on Wyoming bentonite, MX-80, were used for illustration. The results showed that the nonlinear forms of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models are more suitable for fitting the experimental sorption isotherms of Sr on MX-80 than are the linear forms. Thus, the nonlinear forms of isotherm models should be primarily adopted to fit experimental isotherms. On the other hand, we also found that the goodness-of-fit of Langmuir model is better than that of Freundlich model. Moreover, based on the theoretical assumptions of Langmuir isotherm model, the parameters M and K _L represent the sorption capacity and affinity, respectively. One can use the values of M and K _L , obtained from fitting the experimental isotherms, to assess the sorption potential of radionuclides in bentonite. Thus, we suggested that the Langmuir isotherm model is more useful for investigating the sorption behavior of radionuclides on bentonite.

Polyethyleneimine Methylenephosphonic Acid for the Solid-Phase Sorption of Lead(II)

Abstract

In the first part of this work, polyethyleneimine methylenephosphonic acid (PEIMPA) was used as an effective sorbent for solid-phase extraction of Pb(II) ions from an aqueous solution. Conditions for effective sorption are optimized with respect to different experimental parameters in a batch process. The results showed that the amount of extraction decreases with solution pH in the range between 3.5 and 5.8. The sorption capacity is 609 mg·g^?1. The second part of the study focuses on the recovery of Pb(II) from a synthesized binary solution of Pb(II)–Zn(II) and from real Zn(II)-electrolyzed wastewaters. The presence of Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), and Zn(II) in large concentrations has a significantly negative effect on extraction properties.

The Compatibility of Compositional and Structural Features of Aluminous Large Pore Zeolites with Sorption Characteristics

The parent NaX and KL samples were prepared by hydrothermal crystallization and their corresponding K- and Na-exchanged forms were obtained by post-synthesis modification by conventional ion-exchange technique. NaX, NaKX, KL and NaKL samples were characterized by powder XRD, IR, low temperature nitrogen adsorption and chemical analyses. Their sorption uptake behaviour has been investigated by gravimetric method. The kinetics of sorption using different sorbate probe molecules such as water, benzene and n-hexane was measured at 298 K, at P/P ₀ = 0.5 for 90 minutes. All the results obtained were discussed in terms of the compositional and structural variations of the adsorbents. Lack of high dimensionality of the pore system, less openness in structure, low average framework oxygen charge and less number of accessible nonframework cations are some of the prominent factors which has resulted in reduced hydro- and organo-philicity in LTL type zeolites as compared to X-type. The size and concentration of the accessible nonframework cations were also found to influence the sorptive properties of these aluminous large pore zeolites. Among all the probe molecules, n-hexane was found to be as a promising probe for differentiating the structural peculiarities especially dimensionality of the pore system.

Structural Characteristics and Permeability of Ethyl Cellulose Films Containing Different Plasticizers

The effect of different type of plasticizers was investigated in ethyl cellulose as coating polymer for manufacturing coated pellets of modified release containing a water soluble model drug. Scanning electron microscopic image analysis (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic chemical surface analysis (XPS) were used to study the films, and the dissolution profiles of coated pellets were evaluated. The effect of the different plasticizers and coating levels on the first order dissolution rate constant is determined by statistical experimental design. Correlation was found between the dissolution rate constant and the structural characteristics of the coating layer containing different plasticizers. Partial segregation of the plasticizers was detected especially on the surface of the films, which is in correlation with the differences in the glass transition temperatures. PEG 400 is found to be compatible enough to form continuous, durable EC coating at 5% concentration level, which gave the slowest dissolution.     

Specific Features of Lincomycin and Gentamicin Sorption from Aqueous Solutions of Their Salts and Bases by Monocarboxyl Cellulose

Sorption of antibiotics lincomycin and gentamicin from aqueous solutions of their salts and bases by the samples of monocarboxyl cellulose with different content of carboxyl groups was studied. The nature of sorption interactions and factors affecting this process was disclosed. Electrostatic interactions were shown to play a determining role in the mechanism of the antibiotic binding with monocarboxyl cellulose. Single-charged lincomycin was found to be sorbed by monocarboxyl cellulose via stoichiometric binding characterized by the 1 : 1 sorbent-to-sorbate ratio. Multicharged gentamicin was also sorbed from solutions of its sulfate and base due to electrostatic interactions; however, several protonated amino groups of gentamicin molecule are involved in binding, thus resulting in the cross-linking of monocarboxyl cellulose macromolecules.     

Effect of Structural and Electrolytic Properties of Carboxyl-Containing Cellulose Cationites on the Sorption of Cephalexin from Aqueous Solutions

Sorption of antibiotic cephalexin from aqueous solutions by monocarboxyl cellulose (MCC) samples with various content of carboxyl groups and structure (the degree of crystallinity) is studied. It is disclosed that the sorption occurs mainly due to electrostatic interactions via the proton transfer from carboxyl group of MCC to the carboxylate ion of cephalexin. The sorption is characterized by Langmuir isotherms and described by the equation of localized stoichiometric sorption. Sorption of cephalexin increases with the content of carboxyl groups in the sorbent phase, which is explained by the peculiarities of the dissociation of MCC carboxyl groups. Structural characteristics of MCC samples do not substantially influence the sorption of antibiotic. Dependence of the sorption value on the pH of equilibrium solution has a maximum at pH 3.5, which is explained by the specific features of the electrolytic dissociation of cephalexin and MCC.     

Characterization of Different Salt Forms of Chitooligosaccharides and Their Effects on Nitric Oxide Secretion by Macrophages

In this paper, chitooligosaccharides in different salt forms, such as chitooligosaccharide lactate, citrate, adipate, etc., were prepared by the microwave method. They were characterized by SEM, FTIR, NMR, etc., and the nitric oxide (NO) expression was determined in RAW 264.7 cells. The results showed that pure chitooligosaccharide was an irregular spherical shape with rough surface, and its different salt type products are amorphous solid with different honeycomb sizes. In addition to the characteristic absorption peaks of chitooligosaccharides, in FTIR, the characteristic absorption of carboxyl group, methylene group, and aromatic group in corresponding acid appeared. The characteristic absorption peaks of carbon in carboxyl group, hydrogen and carbon in methyl, methylene group, and aromatic group in corresponding acid also appeared in NMR. Therefore, the sugar ring structure and linking mode of chitooligosaccharides did not change after salt formation of chitooligosaccharides. Different salt chitooligosaccharides are completely different in promoting NO secretion by macrophages, and pure chitooligosaccharides are the best.

Insights into Structural Modifications of Valproic Acid and Their Pharmacological Profile

Valproic acid (VPA) is a well-established anticonvulsant drug discovered serendipitously and marketed for the treatment of epilepsy, migraine, bipolar disorder and neuropathic pain. Apart from this, VPA has potential therapeutic applications in other central nervous system (CNS) disorders and in various cancer types. Since the discovery of its anticonvulsant activity, substantial efforts have been made to develop structural analogues and derivatives in an attempt to increase potency and decrease adverse side effects, the most significant being teratogenicity and hepatotoxicity. Most of these compounds have shown reduced toxicity with improved potency. The simple structure of VPA offers a great advantage to its modification. This review briefly discusses the pharmacology and molecular targets of VPA. The article then elaborates on the structural modifications in VPA including amide-derivatives, acid and cyclic analogues, urea derivatives and pro-drugs, and compares their pharmacological profile with that of the parent molecule. The current challenges for the clinical use of these derivatives are also discussed. The review is expected to provide necessary knowledgebase for the further development of VPA-derived compounds.
