Adsorption kinetics of laponite and ludox silica nanoparticles onto a deposited poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) layer measured by a quartz crystal microbalance and optical reflectometry

A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and an optical reflectometer (OR) have been used to investigate the adsorption behavior of Laponite and Ludox silica nanoparticles at the solid-liquid interface. The adsorption of both Laponite and Ludox silica onto poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC)-coated surfaces over the first few seconds were studied by OR. Both types of nanoparticles adsorbed rapidly and obtained a stable adsorbed amount after only a few minutes. The rate of adsorption for both nanoparticle types was concentration dependent. The maximum adsorption rate of Ludox nanoparticles was found to be approximately five times faster than that for Laponite nanoparticles. The QCM data for the Laponite remained stable after the initial adsorption period at each concentration tested. The observed plateau values for the frequency shifts increased with increasing Laponite particle concentration. The QCM data for the Ludox nanoparticles had a more complex long-time behavior. In particular, the dissipation data at 3 ppm and 10 ppm Ludox increased slowly with time, never obtaining a stable value within the duration of the experiment. We postulate here that this is caused by slow structural rearrangements of the particles and the PDADMAC within the surface adsorbed layer. Furthermore, the QCM dissipation values were significantly smaller for Laponite when compared with those for Ludox for all nanoparticle concentrations, suggesting that the Laponite adsorbed layer is more compact and more rigidly bound than the Ludox adsorbed layer.     

Selective determination of silver in solution by adsorption on a piezoelectric quartz crystal

Electrodeposition of metal ions on the crystal is eliminated by using a specially constructed transistorized oscillator. When tartrate, citrate, EDTA or their mixtures are present, silver adsorption occurs. The frequency change is proportional to the silver concentration in the range 2 × 10^?7?1 × 10^?5 M after adsorption for 10 min from a 1 mM EDTA/3 mM tartrate solution. No significant interferences are caused by other metal ions. On the basis of cyclic voltammetric studies, it is suggested that silver is adsorbed as a silver (I) complex.     

Determination of picomolar concentrations of bromide with a piezoelectric detector by catalysis of the permanganate/iodide reaction

The piezoelectric quartz crystal has been utilized to detect iodine produced by the bromide- catalyzed oxidation of iodine to iodate by permanganate in acidic solution. After extraction of iodine into toluene, the resulting frequency change caused by iodine adsorption on the crystal electrode is proportional to bromide concentration over the range 0.5–5 × 10^?12 M. Only silver (I), mercury(II) and large concentrations of chloride interfere significantly. The crystal detector is also used to indicate the end-point of a chloride titration with silver.     

Study of adsorption behavior of bilirubin on human-albumin monolayer using a quartz crystal microbalance

The quartz crystal microbalance was employed to study the adsorption behavior of bilirubin on human-albumin layer, which was chemically bound to the self-assembled monolayer of 4-aminothiophenol on the surface of a gold electrode of the crystal via glutaraldehyde. A long-time adsorption process of bilirubin that took place on a human-albumin-modified surface was observed, and the adsorption kinetic parameters were estimated from the in situ frequency measurements. The amount of adsorbed bilirubin increased with increasing of both hydrogen ions and bilirubin concentration and was larger than that estimated based on the conclusion that there are two affinity sites for bilirubin per albumin molecule. With the present method, the displacement of bilirubin from an albumin layer caused by aspirin was also examined. QCM measurement provides a facile method for in situ monitoring of the adsorption/desorption of bilirubin on proteins layers.     

The role played by an iodine-containing promoter in the formation of active polycrystalline silver catalyst surface

The programmed temperature desorption method was used to study the interaction of oxygen with the surface of a polycrystalline silver catalyst promoted with iodine. Ethyl iodide almost did not interact with the unoxidized surface of silver. The adsorption of C₂H₅I on the oxidized catalyst surface resulted in the formation of two adsorbed iodine forms, silver iodide and iodine deeply dissolved in subsurface silver crystal lattice layers. The character of oxygen adsorption from the iodine-containing surface of the catalyst was determined by the amount and form of adsorbed iodine. In the presence of a iodine-containing promoter, the concentration of oxide-like oxygen sharply decreased, and the amount of strongly bound atomically adsorbed oxygen responsible for the selective transformation of ethylene glycol into glyoxal increased.     

Concentration effects on adsorption of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme stability variants to silica

The adsorption kinetics and dodeceyltrimethylammonium bromide-mediated elution of the wild type and two structural stability mutants of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme were recorded in situ, at silica surfaces. Experiments were performed at different solution concentrations, ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 mg/ml. Plateau values of adsorbed mass generally increased with increasing solution concentration, with the adsorbed layer being only partially eluted by buffer. Treatment with surfactant removed more of the adsorbed protein in each case, with the remaining adsorbed mass varying little with concentration. Comparison of the data to an adsorption mechanism allowing for three adsorbed states, distinguished by binding strength, showed that the fraction of adsorbed molecules present in the most tightly bound state (state 3) decreased as adsorption occurred from solutions of increasing concentration. However, the absolute amounts of state 3 molecules present in each case were less dependent on solution concentration. Adsorption of T4 lysozyme into state 3 is suggested to occur early in the adsorption process and continue until some critical surface concentration is reached. Beyond this critical value of adsorbed mass, adsorption is suggested to progress with adoption of more loosely bound states.     

Gravimetric monitoring of adsorption behavior of tetrakis(methylpyrdiniumyl)porphyrin onto quartz crystal surface using an electrode-separated piezoelectric sensor

The adsorption behavior of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)-porphyrin (H₂TMPyP) from aqueous solutions onto a quartz crystal interface was investigated in situ using an electrode-separated piezoelectric sensor (ESPS). With H₂TMPyP adsorbed onto quartz crystal surface of the ESPS, its oscillating frequency decreases linearly with increasing adsorption amount. The adsorption densities obtained in the ESPS method were greater than those determined in a solution depletion method. The influence of surface roughness of quartz crystal and bulk solution properties on the measurement of adsorption density in the ESPS method was discussed.     

A novel support for antibody purification: Fatty acid attached chitosan beads

Linoleic acid attached chitosan beads [poly(LA-Ch)] (1.25 μm in diameter) are obtained by the formation of amide linkages between linoleic acid and chitosan. Poly(LA-Ch) beads are characterized by FTIR, TEM, and swelling studies. Poly(LA-Ch) beads are used for the purification of immunoglobulin-G (IgG) from human plasma in a batch system. The maximum IgG adsorption is observed at pH 7.0 for HEPES buffer. IgG adsorption onto the plain chitosan beads is found to be negligible. Adsorption values up to 136.7 mg/g from aqueous solutions are obtained by poly(LA-Ch) beads. IgG adsorption saw an increase as a result of increasing temperature. Higher amounts of IgG are adsorbed from human plasma (up to 390 mg/g) with a purity of 92%. The adsorption phenomena appeared to follow a typical Langmuir isotherm. It is observed that IgG could be repeatedly adsorbed and desorbed without significant loss when we take into account the adsorption amount. It is concluded that the poly(LA-Ch) beads allowed one-step purification of IgG from human plasma.     

Adsorption of metal ions from solution onto a piezoelectric quartz crystal

Many metal ions are spontaneously adsorbed onto a piezoelectric quartz crystal and change the oscillation frequency. The pH ranges in which the metal ions adsorbed were just below that of precipitate formation as the ‘hydroxides’; frequency changes caused by adsorption were not observed in these pH ranges where the ‘hydroxides’ formed. Cationic organic reagents, such as crystal violet and methylene blue, were also adsorbed on the piezoelectric quartz crystal but non-ionic and anionic organic compounds were not. These results showed that the crystal was negatively charged on the surface.     

Adsorption behavior of metal ions onto a bovine serum albumin (BSA) membrane monitored by means of an electrode-separated piezoelectric quartz crystal.

The interaction between metal ions and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by using a piezoelectric quartz crystal (PQC) arranged in the electrode-separated configuration. A silanized surface of the PQC was coated with a BSA membrane via a coupling reaction with glutaraldehyde. The frequency shifts obtained from PQC coated with a BSA membrane suggested that various kinds of metal ions could be adsorbed onto the BSA membrane from aqueous solutions containing a low concentration of metal ions (2 or 10 micromol dm(-3)), only when the BSA was denatured with an alkaline solution. Anionic species of Pt(IV) and Au(III) were adsorbed onto the denatured BSA membrane from an acetic acid solution at pH 2.2, and cationic species of Cd(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Ag(I), and cations, such as Ca2+, Ba2+, and Mg2+, were adsorbed from ammonia buffer at pH 9.5, whereas Al(III), Cr(III), Fe(III), Hg(II), and Pb(II) were hardly adsorbed. The adsorption mechanisms of these metal ions are discussed, based on the electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and the denatured BSA membrane, and complex formation between the metal ions and amino acid residues of the denatured BSA. Further, the PQC coated with a denatured BSA membrane was applied to the determination of Pt and Cd, using large frequency shifts for Pt(IV) and Cd(II).

Scrutiny of annexin A1 mediated membrane-membrane interaction by means of a thickness shear mode resonator and computer simulations

The dissipational quartz crystal microbalance (D-QCM) technology was applied to monitor the adsorption of vesicles to membrane-bound annexin A1 by simultaneously reading out the shifts in resonance frequency and dissipation. Solid-supported membranes (SSMs) composed of a chemisorbed octanethiol monolayer and a physisorbed 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine monolayer were immobilized on the gold electrode of a 5 MHz quartz plate. Adsorption and desorption of annexin A1 to the SSM was followed by means of the QCM technique. After nonbound annexin A1 was removed from solution, the second membrane binding was monitored by the D-QCM technique, which allowed distinguishing between adsorbed and ruptured vesicles. The results show that vesicles stay always intact independent of the amount of bound annexin and the vesicle and buffer composition. It was shown that the vesicle adsorption process to membrane-bound annexin A1 is fully irreversible and is mediated by two-dimensional annexin clusters. For N-terminally truncated annexin A1, a decrease in the amount of bound vesicles was observed, which might be the result of fewer binding sites presented by the annexin A1 core. Supported by computer simulations, the results demonstrate that the vesicle adsorption process is electrostatically driven, but compared to those of sole electrostatic binding, the rate constants of adsorption are 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller, indicating the presence of a potential barrier.

Adsorption of cationic polyelectrolyte at the solid/liquid interface and dispersion of nanosized silica in water

Adsorption of cationic polyelectrolyte, a homopolymer of maleimide propyl trimethylammonium chloride (MPTMAC), on silica nanoparticles from aqueous solution was studied. The adsorbed amount of MPTMAC and the adsorption layer thickness from solutions of different pH, polyelectrolyte concentration, salt type, and salt concentration were measured. The adsorbed amount exhibited a maximum as a function of the electrolyte concentration. The onset of the decline in the adsorbed amount depended on the type of counterions. The thickness of the adsorption layer increased gradually with increased of electrolyte concentration and leveled off at high electrolyte concentration. The enhanced adsorption in the presence of Na2SO4 can be explained by the bivalent SO4(2-) causing a better shielding effect. With increasing pH the adsorbed amount of MPTMAC increased, whereas the thickness of an adsorbed layer of MPTMAC decreased. At low polyelectrolyte concentrations unstable silica suspensions were observed from a stability test. At high polyelectrolyte concentrations the higher particle coverage caused electrosteric stabilization of the dispersion. However, further increase in MPTMAC concentration after saturated adsorption would flocculate the dispersed system. At low pH, MPTMAC tending to create a loops or tails conformation stabilized the suspension.     

Protein adsorption on surfaces: dynamic contact-angle (DCA) and quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements

Adsorption of the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) on gold has been tested at various concentrations in aqueous solution by dynamic contact-angle analysis (DCA) and quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements. With the Wilhelmy plate technique advancing and receding contact angles and the corresponding hysteresis were measured and correlated with the hydrophilicity and the homogeneity of the surface. With electrical admittance measurements of a gold-coated piezoelectrical quartz crystal, layer mass and viscoelastic contributions to the resonator's frequency shift during adsorption could be separated. A correlation was found between the adsorbed mass and the homogeneity and hydrophilicity of the adsorbed film.     

Effect of ionic surfactants on the oscillation frequency of one-electrode-separated piezoelectric quartz crystals modified with chitosan and its derivative

From the pH dependence of oscillation frequencies of one-electrode-separated piezoelectric quartz crystals (ESPQCs) modified with chitosan and N-(1,3-dicarboxypropyl) chitosan (DCPC) in buffer solutions, it was deduced that the chitosan and DCPC films on an ESPQC contained water and that the water content depended on pH. Contrary to the expectation based on the Sauerbrey equation, the binding of ionic surfactants to chitosan and DCPC films increased the frequencies. This apparently abnormal phenomenon was explained by the release of water in swollen films. The frequency of the DCPC-modified ESPQC increased on addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate and hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride at pH lower and higher, respectively, than 7.8. A linear relationship between surfactant concentration and frequency shift, whose slope depended on only the chain length of the surfactant alkyl group, was obtained in the range 5–50 µmol dm^–3 hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride. The DCPC-modified ESPQC can be used for a quantitative determination of cationic surfactants in this concentration range.     

Quartz crystal microbalance studies on bilirubin adsorption on self-assembled phospholipid bilayers

Bilirubin adsorption on self-assembled phospholipid bilayers was studied using quartz crystal microbalance, and factors influencing its adsorption such as pH, temperature, and solution ionic strength were discussed in detail. The results show the amount of adsorbed bilirubin on self-assembled phospholipid bilayers is small at higher temperature and large at higher pH and solution ionic strength, and the adsorption kinetic parameter estimated from the in situ frequency measurement is (1.8+/-0.27)x10(6) M(-1) (mean +/- S.D.). With the present method, the desorption of adsorbed bilirubin caused by human serum albumin and the photoinduced decomposition of adsorbed bilirubin under light illumination were also examined. QCM measurement provides a useful method for monitoring the adsorption/desorption process of bilirubin on self-assembled phospholipid bilayers.     

Adsorption studies of cationic starch onto quartz surface through an electrode-separated piezoelectric sensor

In the construction of an electrode-separated piezoelectric sensor (ESPS), the quartz surface is in direct contact with the liquid phase. The negatively charged quartz crystal surface can adsorb cationic starch. This adsorption process was in situ monitored from the frequency shift of the ESPS. It was shown that the adsorption of cationic starch onto the quartz surface is reversible with respect the dilution of the bulk phase. The adsorption behavior can be described by Langmuir model. The adsorption density and kinetics parameters were estimated from the frequency responses of the ESPS. The influence of pH and ionic strength on adsorption parameters was investigated. It was shown that the influence of pH on the adsorption rate was slight. With increasing ionic strength, the rate constants for adsorption and desorption increase, but the adsorption equilibrium constant and saturation adsorption density decrease. The adsorption equilibrium constant and adsorption density reach a maximum in buffer of pH 10.

Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride adsorption mechanism on wood

The adsorption of alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC) on wood was investigated. The changes in zeta potential curves of wood and ADBAC adsorption with increasing ADBAC concentration were highly correlated and showed two different mechanisms for ADBAC adsorption on wood: ion exchange reaction at low concentration and additional aggregation form of adsorption by hydrophobic interaction at high concentration. ADBAC adsorbed at a low solution concentration had high leaching resistance while ADBAC adsorbed into wood at above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) had low leaching resistance. The CMC decreased with addition of Mea, Cu-Mea, and buffer chemicals. The anion, Cl⁻ of ADBAC was only adsorbed at solution concentrations above the CMC and was easily leached out. The adsorption isotherm of ADBAC on wood before and after leaching was fit to the Langmuir, BET, and Freundlich isotherm models; the BET and Freundlich models fit the adsorption isotherm well before leaching and the Langmuir and the Freundlich models showed better fits to the adsorption isotherm after leaching. The adsorption capacity of ADBAC into wood by cation exchange did not achieve the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of wood.
