Sorption of aluminate from alkaline solutions on D-403 anion exchanger

The sorption of aluminate from alkaline solutions on D-403 anion exchanger is studied. The sorption isotherm is described by the Langmuir and Freindlich classical equations and the Redlich-Peterson generalized equation. Thermodynamic parameters of sorption are determined using the Langmuir equation, modified to describe ion-exchange eqiulibria. A method for determining the type of the sorbed ion in the solid phases is proposed.     

Ion exhange and molecular sorption of oxalic acid with a highly basic anion exchanger

The dependence of the amount of water and sorbate concentration in the resin was linear antibatic.

Sorption of uranium(VI) compounds on fibrous anion exchanger surface from aqueous solutions

The effect of sorbent consumption and the kinetics and mechanism of sorption of uranium(VI) compounds on the surface of FIBAN A-6 fibrous anion exchanger from aqueous uranyl acetate solutions have been studied in the presence of sulfuric acid or sodium hydrocarbonate. The degree of sorption of uranium(VI) compounds by FIBAN A-6 anion exchanger has been found to be as high 97.0–99.5% at an interfacial contact time of 3–7 min and a sorbent consumption of 2–5 g/dm³. Diffusion and chemical kinetics models have been employed to show that the sorption kinetics of uranyl sulfate and carbonate complexes corresponds to the mixed diffusion mechanism and is described by a pseudo-second-order equation. The sorption isotherms of uranium(VI) compounds have the pattern of L-type isotherms according to the Giles classification and are satisfactorily described by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich equations. It has been found that, within 40 min, the sorbent may be regenerated by 65–82% with a 1 M NaHCO₃ solution.     

Preparation and characterization of a strong basic anion exchanger by radiation-induced grafting of styrene onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene) fiber

A novel anion-exchange fiber with strong basic groups has been prepared by grafting styrene onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene) fibers via irradiation. Experiments were carried out to analyze the effects of synthesis conditions on the grafting degree and to characterize the physicochemical properties of the anion-exchange fibers. The experimental results showed that preirradiation grafting styrene onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene) fiber could significantly reduce the waste of raw material and the formation of homopolymer, although the grafting degree was relatively low. The grafting reaction could be effectively enhanced through the addition of magnesium powder into the reaction system. The optimal temperature and time for preirradiation grafting were 80 degrees C and 6 h, respectively. The experimental results also showed that the anion-exchange fibers had excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability at a temperature up to 420 degrees C. The fibers were stable in acidic, alkali, and oxidative solutions. The static ion-exchange capacity of the fibers was as high as 6.08 mmol/g. The static adsorption capacities for Cr(2)O(2-)(7) and MnO(-)(4) ions were 214.08 and 290.98 mg/g, respectively.     

Sorption of levulinic acid onto weakly basic anion exchangers: equilibrium and kinetic studies

The equilibrium and dynamics of levulinic acid sorption on two weakly basic anion exchangers, in free base form, in single-component aqueous solutions were investigated. Adsorption isotherms such as Langmuir, Sips, Radke-Prausnitz, and Toth were applied to correlate the experimental data in the temperature range 285-315 K. Modeling results showed that the Toth model is the best one to correlate the sorption isotherms. The resulting Toth equations were used with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to determine the isosteric heat of sorption. The sorption kinetics was experimentally measured via a completely stirred finite-bath batch experiment under different initial concentrations and at varying solution temperatures. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Elovich equation were used to represent the kinetic data and the equation parameter values were also evaluated. The pseudo-second-order equation cannot simulate the experimental kinetic data, while the Elovich equation fitted the sorption dynamic data very well under all the operating conditions studied. Finally, the apparent activation energy of sorption was also determined.     

An absorptiometric determination of perchlorate by means of a novel coloured liquid anion exchanger

A novel liquid anion exchanger can be prepared from tetra-n-hexylammonium iodide and Erdmann's salt, (NH₄)[Co(NH₃)₂(NO₂)₄]. When a solution of this quaternary erdmannate in a suitable organic solvent (e_max = 15,700 at 355 mμ) is equilibrated with an aqueous solution of a salt, the coloured ermannate ion is displaced to a greater or less extent; the effect decreases in the order ClO₄^- > ClO₃^- > NO₃^- > Cl^- > SO₄^2- etc. The effects of changes in the organic solvent composition, of ionic strength, and of other variables on the position of equilibrium have been studied with a view to defining the optimum conditions for the absorptiometric determination of perchlorate ion (≧25 μ) in the presence of chlorate and other ions. Methods are proposed for eliminating those ions that form insoluble silver salts and to allow for the presence of substantial proportions of chlorate or nitrate ions.     

Agarose-coated anion exchanger prevents cell-adsorbent interactions

A common problem during recovery of bioproducts by adsorption from particulate broths is fouling of the adsorbent material as a result of the interaction of cells and cell debris, which present negative charges, with the positively charged anion exchangers commonly used in bioprocesses. The effect of shielding an adsorbent with a layer of agarose on reducing the binding of cells while still allowing the low-molecular-mass bioproducts to be adsorbed was studied. Coating the anion-exchange resin Amberlite IRA-400 with agarose followed by cross-linking the agarose layer effectively prevented the binding of Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Lactobacillus casei cells but allowed binding of lactic acid to the adsorbent. The cross-linked agarose layer was stable during recycling of the adsorbent.     

Sorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate by highly basic anion-exchange resins

The interaction in the system of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution and AB-17 highly basic anion-exchange resins in OH⁻ and Cl⁻ forms were considered, and the distribution coefficients (K _d) of the substance in the resin-solution ion exchange system were calculated. It was found that K _d decreases with increasing concentration of the initial solution, reaching a maximum value at the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS. The effective diffusion coefficients of the surfactant in the anion-exchange resin phase were calculated; based on the IR spectroscopy data, the mechanism of SDS absorption was proposed.     

New block-grafted anion exchanger for environmental water analysis by ion chromatography

The IonPac AS14A is a recently developed stationary phase that was produced using a new block-grafting technique, which enables the preparation of high-water-content anion exchangers with excellent peak shape and good chromatographic efficiency. The performance of this column for the analysis of inorganic anions was compared to that obtained using an IonPac AS4A column, which is specified in US Environmental Protection Agency Method 300.0, in addition to another commonly used alternative; the AS14 column. The AS14A column is available in two different formats; 250×4 mm I.D. (7.0 μm diameter particle) and 150×3 mm I.D. (5.5 μm diameter particle). The IonPac AS14A (in 4 mm I.D. format) was found to provide similar performance to the AS14 column with increased peak efficiency and better pH stability and is a suitable alternative for the analysis of anions in moderate- to high-ionic-strength samples. The IonPac AS14A (in 3 mm I.D. format) provides comparable run times to the AS4A column with better overall peak selectivity and improved fluoride resolution, hence this column would be a suitable column to substitute in place of either the AS4A or AS14 columns for the analysis of inorganic anions in low- to moderate-ionic-strength environmental waters. The AS14A column used with an Atlas electrolytic suppressor provides equivalent method detection limits to those obtained when using a micromembrane suppressor but with the operational convenience of a self-regenerating suppressor.     

Synthesis of temperature-responsive anion exchanger via click reaction

The temperature-responsive anion exchanger was synthesized by immobilizing the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), a kind of the temperature-responsive polymer, on the external surface of mesoporous silica via click reaction. The structure of this synthesized composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis, and nitrogen adsorption experiment. The amount of PNIPAM immobilized on the external surface of mesoporous silica, which was calculated from the weight loss measured by thermogravimetry, increased from 5.3 wt.% to 12.9 wt.% (dry) depending on the amount of PNIPAM added in the click reaction. The adsorption-desorption behavior of methyl orange (MO) ions in this synthesized anion exchanger was affected by the temperature of aqueous solution: the MO ions were adsorbed and desorbed reversibly and repeatedly with changing the pH of the solution at 25 °C, while the amount of adsorbed MO ions remained nearly constant at about 0.05 mmol/g independent of the pH of the solution at 40 °C. Also, the amount of PNIPAM immobilized on the mesoporous silica influenced the adsorption rate of MO ions, suggesting that the adsorption rate in this composite is controlled by the diffusion of MO ions through the PNIPAM layer.

A thiol-mediated active membrane transport of selenium by erythroid anion exchanger 1 protein

In this paper, we describe a thiol-mediated and energy-dependent membrane transport of selenium by erythroid anion exchanger 1 (AE1, also known as band 3 protein). The AE1 is the most abundant integral protein of red cell membranes and plays a critical role in the carbon dioxide transport system in which carbon dioxide is carried as bicarbonate in the plasma. This protein mediates the membrane transport of selenium, an essential antioxidant micronutrient, from red cells to the plasma in a manner that is distinct from the already known anion exchange mechanism. In this pathway, selenium bound to the cysteine 93 of the hemoglobin β chain (Hb-Cysβ93) is transported by the relay mechanism to the Cys317 of the amino-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the AE1 on the basis of the intrinsic interaction between the two proteins and is subsequently exported to the plasma via the Cys843 of the membrane-spanning domain. The selenium export did not occur in plain isotonic buffer solutions and required thiols, such as albumin, in the outer medium. Such a membrane transport mechanism would also participate in the export pathways of the nitric oxide vasodilator activity and other thiol-reactive substances bound to the Hb-Cysβ93 from red cells to the plasma and/or peripherals.     

Study of time changes of anion exchanger electrode characteristics

The elution of the anion exchanger from the membranes of ion-selective electrodes and its influence on the electrode characteristics are studied. The decrease of the exchanger concentration in the PVC membrane depends on the exchanger lipophilicity and the concentration of the counter ion in the external solution. On this basis it is possible to estimate the electrode life time and limit of detection.Dedicated to Professor W. Simon on the occasion of his 60th birthday
