A new ELM was prepared for the study on transport of Mo(Ⅵ) ion. Under the experimental conditions, Mo(Ⅵ) can be transported completely and separated from the co-lons.The emulsion liquid membrane(ELM) with Tri-n-octylamine(TOA) as a carrier used for the transport of Mo(Ⅵ) ions and its separation from some cations have been reported in this paper. The transport percentage of Mo(Ⅵ) ion through ELM in 5 min corresponds to that of the literature in 165 min.     

Separation and determination of pyrrolidinium ionic liquid cations by ion chromatography with direct conductivity detection

A method for rapid and simultaneous determination of multiple pyrrolidinium ionic liquid cations by ion chromatography with direct conductivity detection was developed.Chromatographic separations were performed on a cation exchange column using ethylenediamine-acetonitrile as the mobile phase.The effects of chromatographic column and the mobile phase,as well as the column temperature on the retention of the cations were investigated.The retention rules of the cations under different chromatographic conditions were formulated.The retention of the cations followed the carbon number rule.The method has been successfully applied to the determination of three ionic liquids synthesized by a chemical laboratory.     

Selective transport of Ag(Ⅰ) ion across a bulk liquid and polymer membranes incorporated with di-N-benzylated O_3N_2 donor macrocycles

<正>The selective bulk liquid membrane and polymer membrane transports of Ag(Ⅰ) from an aqueous solution containing seven metal cations,Co(Ⅱ),Ni(Ⅱ),Cu(Ⅱ),Zn(Ⅱ),Ag(Ⅰ),Cd(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ),was studied.The source phases contained equimolar concentrations of the above-mentioned cations,with the source and receiving phases being buffered at pH 5.0 and 3.0,respectively. Ag(Ⅰ) ion transport occurred with a good efficiency from the aqueous source phases across the bulk liquid membrane and polymer membrane(derived from cellulose triacetate) containing ligand 1 as the ionophores,into the aqueous receiving phases.Clear transport selectivity for Ag(Ⅰ) was observed using ligand 1.There was no selectivity for the cations using ligand 2 in the both bulk liquid membrane and polymer membrane transports.     

FUSION MEMBRANES OF DEFICIENT THYLAKOIDS OF SPINACH CHLOROPLASTS WITH CRISTA VESICLES OF RAT LIVER MITOCHONDRIA TO FORM A SYSTEM WITH “PHOTOPHOSPHORYLATION” ACTIVITY

A reconstituted system was successfully prepared by combining deficient thylakoids ofspinach chloroplasts with crista vesicles of mitochondria from rat liver, and the "photo-phosphorylation" activity of reconstituted membranes increases with an increase in lightintensity. It can be seen that a new band representing the fused membranes appears be-tween the bands of deficient thylakoids and crista vesicles of mitochondria during sucrosedensity gradient fractionation. The structure of the fused membranes has been examined byelectron microscopy. Experiments with respiratory inhibitors indicated that part of the elec-tron transport chain of mitochondrial particles was involved and played an important rolein the combined system, and photosynthetic chain inhibitors somtimes did not inhibit the"photophosphorylation" activities of combined membranes. The experimental results lendstrong support to the congeniality of the two organelles and the possibility of the linkingtogether of their electron carriers.     

Thermocontrolling ion permeation through binary component membrane composed of crown ether liquid crystal/PVC

In view of the nature of orderness in structure and the mesomorphism in property of liquid crystal, the function of which is further exploited by integrating it with the feature of crown ether. The monoarmed crown ether liquid crystals are successfully applied to the imitation of biomembrane transport. Binary component membrane composed of crown ether liquid crystal and PVC was first developed. Such a novel model of biomimetic membrane is capable of imitating ingeniously the thermocontrolling transport of biomembrane, thus the essential function of liquid crystal in membane transport is more fully exploited. It was suggested, consequently, that the molecules of the crown ether liquid crystal could assemble themselves to form ionic channels, as they exist in mesophase.Of still more significance is that the thermocontrolling transport of ions through the membrane is found to be operative selectively and the permeation of ion is under the direct influence of the thermal turmoil of the crown ether liquid cr

Optimizing functional layer of cation exchange membrane by three-dimensional cross-linking quaternization for enhancing monovalent selectivity

Monovalent cation perm-selective membrane（MCPMs） allow fast and selective transport of monovalent cations, and they are promisingly required for extraction of special ions, such as lithium extraction, acid recovery and sea salt production. Herein, we report a novel strategy to design the critical functional layers of MCPMs with both space charge repulsion and cross-linked dense screenability. The in-situ deposition polymerization of pyrrole was carried out on the surface of sulfonated polyphenyl...     

DIGITAL ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY FOR MORPHOLOGY OF POLYMER CHAIN COILS IN FLOW FIELDS

Polymer chain coils with entanglement is a crucial scale of structures in polymer materials since their relaxation times are matching practical processing times. Based on the phenomenological model of polymer chain coils and a new finite element approach, we have designed a computer software including solver, pre- and post-processing modules, and developed a digital analysis technology for the morphology of polymer chain coils in flow fields (DAMPC). Using this technology we may simulate the morphology development of chain coils in various flow fields, such as simple shear flow, elongational flow,and any complex flow at transient or steady state. The appli cations made up to now show that the software predictions arecomparable with experimental results.     

Protic ionic liquids/poly(vinylidene fluoride) composite membranes for fuel cell application

Poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, membranes have attracted considerable attention as polymer electrolytes for fuel cells. This study explores the effect of solvent on the spherulite size and the crystallinity of the polymeric membranes. Based on Hansen solubility parameters theory, the mixture of DMC and DMSO was selected among a dozen of solvents for the preparation of PVDF membranes by thermally induced phase separation. The addition of two protic ionic liquids(PILs), bis(2-ethyl hexyl) ammonium hydrogen phosphate [EHNH_2][H_2PO_4], and imidazolium hexanoate [Im][Hex] to PVDF membranes at concentrations(10% < wP IL< 50%) has been investigated by SEM, FTIR, DSC, TGA, EIS, and DMA. The inclusion of ionic liquids into the polymer matrix influences structural parameters(degree of crystallinity and electroactive phases), thermal stability, proton conductivity and mechanical properties of the membranes. The membranes become transparent regardless type of ionic liquid employed. A small amount of ionic liquids increases the degree of crystallinity and facilitates the production of polar β and γ crystals. The proton conductivity mechanism(Grotthuss) is dependent on the ionic liquid structure(due to its selforganization in water) and the content in the PVDF membrane, as well as the membrane water uptake.Different behavior has been observed for the two ionic liquids, which stresses the challenge on selecting an appropriate cation and anion combination. The obtained composite membranes exhibited excellent mechanical performance and reduced elastic modulus, with respect to the pure polymer matrix. These results indicate that PVDF/IL composite membranes have a high potential for PEMFC applications.

Selective Recognition of Calcium Ion through Liquid Membrane

The mole transport rate of alkaline earth metal ions through a bulk liquid membrane and a supported liquid membrane using a series of proton diionizable acyclic polyethers was measured. Among alkaline earth metal ions, the calcium ion was observed to be selectively transported in both single and competitive transport experiments. Potentiometric titration and solution calorimetric titration also gave calcium selectivity over other alkaline earth metal ions. Acyclic polyether bearing a diethylene glycol unit andn-tetradecyl lipophilic chain at the α position of carboxylic acid affords the best selectivity for the calcium ion in bulk and supported liquid membranes.     

Facilitated transport from ternary cation mixtures through water—chloroform—water membrane systems containing macrocyclic ligands

Cation fluxes were determined for various three-component, equimolar mixtures of alkali metal, alkaline earth, and Pb²⁺ cations in a H₂O---CHCl₃---H₂O liquid membrane system incorporating macrocyclic polyethers as carriers. Carrier ligands studied were 18-crown-6, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6, 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6, 21-crown-7, dibenzo-24-crown-8, and cryptand [2.2.2]. Correlations were found between transport and relative cation:polyether cavity radii, the type of substituents present on the polyether ring, and the type and number of donor atoms present. All the ligands studied transported Pb²⁺ at higher rates than the other Mⁿ⁺ in the mixtures. Transport behavior in these multi-cation systems can be predicted from Mⁿ⁺—polyether complex stability constant data in most cases.     

Proton-ionizable crown compounds. 13. Synthesis and structural studies of crown compounds containing the triazole subcyclic unit and lipophilic substituents

Eight new macrocyclic polyether ligands containing the proton-ionizable triazole subcyclic unit have been prepared. Most of these compounds contain octyl, benzo or cyclohexano lipophilic groups. The unsubstituted triazolo-18-crown-6 ( 5 ) formed an unusual complex with silver ion. The crystal structure of this silver complex showed one crown complexed with one silver cation and two associated silver nitrate molecules. The new lipophilic triazolo-crowns are being tested as cation carriers for alkali and other metal cations in a bulk liquid membrane system.     

Synthesis and properties of noncyclic polyether compounds. Part V : The influence of acid and concentration of cations on the uphill transport rates of cations and selectivities through liquid membranes by synthetic,noncyclic polyether ionophores

The effects of acid and cation concentration on the uphill transport rates of cations and selectivities through chloroform liquid membrane by noncyclic polyether ionophores, which are pentaethylene glycol derivatives containing both 8-quinolyt and o-carboxylphenyl terminal groups, have been demonstrated. Using sulfuric, oxalic, or polyphosphoric acid in aqueous solution, the initial transport rates and the amount of cation transported by the ionophores after two days were larger than those using hydrochloric or nitric acid. Using picric acid, the amount of cation transported decreased greatly. It was confirmed that it decreased where an acid could easily be counter-transported by the ionophore through liquid membranes. On the other hand, it was found that the rates, amounts of cation transported, and selectivities, change with the changing of the cation concentration in the aqueous solutions. When the cation concentration in both aqueous solutions is high enough compared with the pH gradient between the two aqueous solutions, the rate, amount, and selectivity of the ionophore for potassium ion increases compared with when the cation concentration is low.     

Preparation of Neutral Ionophores for Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metal Cations and their application in ion selective membrane electrodes

The preparation of a series of non-cyclic, uncharged ligands able to selectively complex alkali and alkaline earth metal cations is described. These molecules are designed to be used as carriers for cations through membranes. Some of the compounds show high Ca²⁺ and Na⁺ selectivity, respectively, in liquid membrane electrodes.     

New acyclic receptors containing pyridazine units. The influence of π-stacking on the selective transport of lipophilic phenethylamines

The synthesis of four new series of acyclic heteroaromatic receptors is described. They are built by two flexible polyether chains functionalised at their end with pyridazinone or methylpyridazine rings and connected by pyridine or benzene units. Their ability as carriers of lipophilic and hydrophilic phenethylamines and metallic cations has been evaluated. Transport rates show that, in general, these compounds are much more efficient carriers of lipophilic amines than of dopamine and Na⁺, K⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions. Their transport selectivities towards phenethylamine and homoveratrylamine are discussed on the basis of their structural features. Molecular modelling studies suggest that interaction of the aromatic moiety of the guest with the pyridazinone rings via double π-stacking, or with the pyridine ring by single π-stacking, should be responsible of their enhanced efficacy and selectivity in the transport of lipophilic phenethylamines.     

Simulations of photomodulated solute transport in doubly illuminated liquid membranes containing photoactive carriers

A steady-state model describing photofacilitated transport in liquid membranes under double illumination is presented. The model allows for the exploration of the effects of a wide range of thermodynamic and kinetic carrier properties on the control of photoinduced transport rates of solutes, called photomodulation. Most previous experimental and theoretical studies have explored the illumination of only the feed or sweep side of the membrane, while this study examines the effects of illuminating both sides simultaneously. Under double illumination, solute transport rates can be as much as five times greater than those measured in the dark and 2.5 times greater than rates obtained under single illumination. Carriers that are predominantly in the weakly binding form in the dark generally provide slightly better performance at lower light intensities than do carriers that are predominantly in the strongly binding form in the dark. The greatest enhancement in solute transport under double illumination is seen for carriers with very slow interconversion rate constants between the strongly and weakly binding forms. These results provide guidelines to help those studying photofacilitated membranes select or design photoactive molecules that will act as optimal carriers in liquid membranes under double illumination.     

Cation effect on anion separations by aza-crown ligands in liquid membranes

New carriers have been prepared based on the aza-18-crown-6 structure to facilitate membrane transport of ions. One of these incorporates four aza-18-crown-6 molecules bonded to a resorcinarene ring. The other, aza-18-crown-6 bonded to an undecyl chain, was studied as a monomeric analog. These carriers have been included in dichloromethane bulk liquid membranes (BLMs) to assess cation influence on competitive transport among anions (ReO₄⁻, NO₃⁻, ClO₄⁻). ReO₄⁻ was investigated as a non-radioactive analog of the pertechnetate anion, which is of interest in nuclear waste separations. The permeability values and selectivity for ReO₄⁻ and ClO₄⁻ were the greatest when neutral source and receiving phases were used with K⁺ as the co-transported cation. The carriers also showed selectivity for ReO₄⁻ and ClO₄⁻ over NO₃⁻ with K⁺ and Na⁺ as the co-transported cations using neutral and basic aqueous phase solutions. It was also found that some cations inhibit anion transport.
