Chromatographic determination of the differential isosteric adsorption enthalpies and differential entropies on ordered silica materials

The adsorption properties of the ordered mesoporous siliceous materials: MCM-41C16 (denoted as C16), MCM-41C16-SH and MCM-41C16-NH(2) (known as MCMs) having different surface functionalities were studied by inverse gas chromatography to assess their suitability for adsorption of analytes from gas and liquid phases. Polar and non-polar adsorbates were employed. The differential isosteric enthalpies, -DeltaH(ads), and differential entropies, -DeltaS(ads), of adsorption of different 'molecular probes' were determined chromatographically. A mathematical link between the -DeltaH(ads), and -DeltaS(ads) magnitudes and experimental data was derived through an Antoine-type equation. The present studies have been entirely restricted to the region of low adsorbate concentration. The problem of the interrelationship between the -DeltaH(ads), and -DeltaS(ads) values, known as the 'thermodynamic compensation effect', and interpretation of chromatographic data for the adsorption of different adsorbates on the MCMs have been considered in the light of both experimental data obtained in the present studies and the data available in the literature for siliceous adsorbents with randomly ordered structures. It was shown chromatographically that there is substantial parallelism between the magnitudes of the differential isosteric enthalpy and differential entropy for some 'molecular probes' chromatographed on C16 and its derivatives. Complementary information was obtained by atomic-force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy.     

Surface adsorption and transfer of organomercaptans to colloidal gold and direct identification by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

The adsorption characteristics of two different organomercaptan adsorbates, 5-((2-(and-3)-S-(acetylmercapto)succinoyl)amino)fluorescein (SAMSA) and the peptide Cys-Lys-Trp-Ala-Lys-Trp-Ala-Trp (CKWAKWAK), on colloidal Au were studied, and the conjugates produced were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Fluorescence difference measurements of free thiols in solution were used to assemble surface adsorption isotherms on Au colloid revealing surface coverages of 1.0 x 10(14) molecules cm(-2) for SAMSA and 3.1 x 10(14) molecules cm(-2) for CKWAKWAK. The free energies of adsorption were calculated to be -48.4 kJ/mol for SAMSA and -49.2 kJ/mol for CKWAKWAK. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy reveal that the thiol/colloid conjugates flocculate under conditions where the net charge per colloid is small or neutral and that flocculated colloids can be resuspended by a change in pH to more basic for the acidic SAMSA/Au conjugates or to more acidic for the basic CKWAKWAK/Au conjugates. The reversible flocculation allows the conjugates to be readily separated from free adsorbate in solution and thereby prepared for further characterization. CKWAKWAK/colloid conjugates were analyzed by MALDI-MS, and the mass spectra show (M + H)(+), (M + Na)(+), and (M + K)(+) ions attributable to the peptide. The manipulations studied here constitute a powerful complement to microfluidic-based separation and analysis methods. Conjugating mass-limited analytes to Au colloids makes it possible to sequester and transfer small quantities of analytes with high efficiency.     

Effects of Thermal Activation on the El ectrocatalysis of the Ru(O001) Surface

Variable-temperature in-situ FTIR spectroscopy has been used as the primary tool to investigate the effects of temperature (10 to 50 C ) on formaldehyde dissociative adsorption and electro-oxidation on the Ru (0001) electrode in perchloric acid solution, and the results were interpreted in terms of the surface chemistry of the Ru (0001) electrode and compared to those obtained during our previous studies on the adsorption of CO under the same conditions. It was found that formaldehyde did undergo dissociative adsorption, even at -200 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, to form linear (COL) and 3-fold-hollow(COH) binding CO adsorbates. In contrast to the adsorption of .CO, it was found that increasing the temperature to 50℃ markedly increased the amount of CO adsorbates formed on the Ru(0001) surface from the adsorption of formaldehyde. On increasing the potential, the electrooxidation of the CO adsorbates to CO2 took place via reaction with the active (1×1)-O oxide. A significant increase in the surface reactivity was observed on the RuO2(100) phase formed at higher potentials. Formic acid was detected as a partial oxidation product during formaldehyde electro-oxidation. The data obtained at 50℃are markedly different from those collected at 10 and 25℃ in terms of the amount of both CO2 and formic acid formed and the adsorbed COL and COH species observed. These results were rationalized by the thermal effects on both the loosening of the CO adlayer and the activation of surface oxide on increasing the temperature.     

Interfacial adsorption state of protonated lipophilic porphyrins in a liquid-liquid system by using reflection spectrometry.

Analysis by reflection spectrometry was performed to clarify the interfacial adsorption of protonated lipophilic tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives in a dodecane-aqueous sulfuric acid system, and to confirm the utility of partial reflection spectroscopy. Interfacial adsorption was not observed for porphyrins substituted at the 2,6 positions of meso-phenyl groups, suggesting that the substituents prevent porphyrins from forming aggregates by steric hindrance. Polymorphous J-aggregates of acid dications were produced by tetra-p-tolylporphyrin with a saturated interfacial molecular density of 1.0 x 10(-10) mol cm(-2), which could yield 48 degrees as a mean tilting angle of the pyrrole ring plane from the interface normal. Partial-reflection spectrometry can provide sensitive detection and molecular orientation analysis of interfacial adsorbates.     

Revealing structural effects, part II: the influence of molecular structure on the adsorption of butanol isomers on platinum

The nature of the adsorbates formed when butanol isomers interact with platinum electrodes in a perchloric acid medium was investigated by the application of on-line differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and cyclic voltammetry. In this way, the reactivity of the residues remaining on the electrode surface after a flow-cell experiment was established for the different molecules. It was found that the four isomers form strongly adsorbed species on the electrode, which undergo both electro-oxidation and electroreduction, depending on the potential applied at the electrode. Oxidative stripping of the adsorbates produces CO2 as the only oxidation product, whereas propane and the corresponding butane isomer are obtained on platinum in the hydrogen adsorption potential region. The yields of these hydrocarbons were found to depend strongly on the nature of the butanol isomer and on the adsorption potential. According to these results, it can be concluded that fragmentation of the butanol isomers occurs during adsorption and reduction reactions. C4 alkene and acetyl species are proposed as the adsorbed intermediates in all cases.

In situ FTIR studies on the effect of temperature on the electro-oxidation of small organic molecules at the Ru(0001) electrode

The adsorption and electro-oxidation of formaldehyde, formic acid and methanol at the Ru(0001) electrode in perchloric acid solution have been studied as a function of temperature, potential and time using in situ FTIR spectroscopy, and the results interpreted in terms of the surface chemistry of the Ru(000 1) electrode and compared to those obtained during our previous studies on the adsorption of CO under the same conditions. It was found that no dissociative adsorption or electro-oxidation of methanol takes place at Ru(0001) at potentials < 900 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, and at all three temperatures employed, 10, 25 and 50 degrees C. However, both formaldehyde and formic acid did undergo dissociative adsorption, even at -200 mV, to form linear (CO(L)) and 3-fold-hollow (COH) binding CO adsorbates. In contrast to the adsorption of CO, it was found that increasing the temperature to 50 degrees C markedly increased the amount of CO adsorbates formed on the Ru(0001) surface from the adsorption of both formaldehyde and formic acid. On increasing the potential, the electro-oxidation of the CO adsorbates to CO2 took place via reaction with the active (1 x 1)-O oxide. Formic acid was detected as a partial oxidation product during formaldehyde electro-oxidation. At all three temperatures employed, it was found that adsorbed CO species were formed from the adsorption of both formic acid and formaldehyde, and were oxidised to CO2 faster than was observed in the experiments involving CO adsorbed from CO(g), suggesting a higher mobility of the CO adsorbates formed from the adsorption of the HCOOH and HCHO. At potentials > 1000 mV, both the oxidation of formic acid to CO2 and the oxidation of formaldehyde to both CO2 and formic acid were significantly increased, and the oxidation of methanol to CO2 and methyl formate was observed, all of which were attributed to the formation of an active RuO2 phase on the Ru(0001) surface.

Determination of some phthalate acid esters in artificial saliva by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after activated carbon enrichment

The determination of six phthalate acid esters was achieved in artificial saliva using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry following activated carbon enrichment of samples. Central composite experimental design was applied to optimize method parameters, such as pH, adsorption time and amount of activated carbon. The best compromise of analytical conditions for the simultaneous determination of analytes from spiked artificial saliva were found to be: pH (3), adsorption time (30 min), activated carbon amount (1.8 g L⁻¹) and elution solvent (chloroform). These conditions were applied to study the migration of phthalate acid esters from different children's toys into saliva. A horizontal agitation method was applied to extract the analytes from plastic toys into saliva for 2 h at 37 °C. The detection limits of the method were in the range of 1.3-5.1 μg L⁻¹, while the relative standard deviation (%) values for the analysis of 100 μg L⁻¹ of the analytes were below 3.0% (n = 5). Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate was the main analyte found in these samples.     

Chromatographic Properties of HPLC Sorbents Modified with Zinc Octa-4,5-Carboxyphthalocyanate

The adsorption of the zinc octa-4,5-carboxyphthalocyanate modifier on known HPLC sorbents of different types (Silasorb-C₁₈, Diasorb-130-C₄, Diasorb-130-C₁₆, Spheron C 100 (LC), Spheron C 1000, and Hema S 1000 QL) was studied. The optimum conditions were determined for the modification of the sorbents in the static and dynamic modes. The mechanism of the retention of modifiers and adsorbates was considered, and the amount of the modifier on the surface of the adsorbents was calculated. The effect of the modifier on the retention of adsorbates was demonstrated. Mobile phases were selected for the selective and efficient separation of model mixtures of phenols.     

Complementary use of Fourier transform laser microprobe mass spectrometry and time-of-flight static secondary ion mass spectrometry for the study of the surface adsorption of organic dyes on silicate materials

The adsorption of organic ionic dyes on different pore size engineered silica materials with potential application for industrial wastewater treatment has been investigated using Fourier transform laser microprobe mass spectrometry (FT-LMMS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-S-SIMS). The complementary use of the two methods with different information depth allowed data on the subsurface distribution and pore penetration of the adsorbed organic compounds. Macroscopic methods were employed to determine the amount adsorbed on the particles and the specific external surface area. Local MS analysis allows identification of the organic dyes exclusively at the outer particle surface when the pore size is inferior to the size of the adsorbing molecule, or at the surface of the channels inside the material. Specifically, the monolayer information depth of TOF-S-SIMS causes a signal to refer essentially to the adsorbate at the outer particle surface, which is only a fraction of the total adsorption in mesoporous materials, while FT-LMMS allowed detection of the presence of adsorbates at the outer surface as well as inside the subsurface of 10 to 50 nm depending on the material under study. The observed data open perspectives for the molecular monitoring of the adsorption behaviour of different materials at the (sub) microm scale.     

Photoassisted adsorption of allylamine and 1-butene on H:Si(111) studied by surface vibrational spectroscopies

Ultraviolet photoassisted adsorption of terminally double-bonded molecules, allylamine (CH2=CH-CH2-NH2) and 1-butene (CH2=CH-CH2-CH3), on hydrogen-terminated silicon (111) surface was attempted to obtain adsorbates covalently terminating the surface Si atoms. The adsorption process was monitored by high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, multiple internal infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy, and Auger electron spectroscopy. Allylamine adsorbates emerged upon delivery of allylamine gas under ultraviolet irradiation. The N-H bonds in allylamine were evidenced to survive over the photoadsorption process by vibrational analysis and by the reaction with ketene. CH3- groups were detected at low coverage, indicating anchoring of the organic moieties by the secondary (sec-) type carbon atoms, which were taken over by the primary (n-) type with increasing coverage. C-D bonds were detected after deposition on deuterium-terminated Si(111) upon incorporation of Si-terminating H into the hydrocarbon part of adsorbates. In the case of 1-butene, not only the C=C end but also the CH3- end of a molecule might attach on Si, resulting in emergence of adsorbates composed of CH2 groups. The newly obtained adsorbates are prospective as a material applied for nanolithography, fine electrochemistry, and nano-biotechnology.     

聚合物稳定的金簇合物上卤素吸附质：质谱检测及其对催化的影响

聚(N-乙烯基-2-吡咯烷酮)稳定的金簇合物(Au：PVP)的质谱结果表明,来源于合成前驱体的Cl吸附质主要存在于Au34和Au43簇合物上。金簇合物上Cl吸附质的数量不影响其催化有氧苯甲醇氧化性能,表明Cl原子与Au簇合物间存在较弱的键合作用。相反,用Br替代Au34和Au43簇合物上Cl显著抑制了其催化活性,但对其电子结构没有任何影响。这表明, Br原子与金簇合物的键合较强,在空间上堵塞了活性位。因Br吸附质而导致活性显著下降表明, Au34和Au43簇合物对Au：PVP催化活性起主要贡献。     

Determination of sulfonamide antibiotics in fish and shrimp samples based on magnetic carbon nanotube dummy molecularly imprinted polymer extraction followed by UPLC-MS/MS

In this study, a novel purification method using magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) based on magnetic carbon nanotube dummy molecularly imprinted polymer (MCNTMIP) nanocomposite was investigated for separation and enrichment of sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) in fish and shrimp samples. The MCNTMIP nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by applying carbon nanotubes as supporting template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, sulfabenzamide as the dummy template for SAs, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent, then was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry and vibrating sample magnetometry. The adsorption performance of MCNTMIP was evaluated by binding experiments, including static adsorption, kinetic adsorption, and selectivity recognition study. The results confirmed that an imprinted polymer layer was successfully constructed on the surface of the MCNTMIP and this sorbent has advantages of simple magnetic separation, specific molecular recognition, and high adsorption capacity. Combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), we developed a rapid, sensitive, efficient MSPE method for detecting SAs analytes. Under the optimal conditions, the limits of detection were low to 0.1 μg/kg, and the recoveries of SAs analytes were ranged between 90.2 and 99.9%. In addition, the precision values were ranged between 0.5 and 9.1%. This method was successfully applied to analyze SAs in fish and shrimp samples with satisfactory recoveries.     

A Study of the Influence of Hydrophobicity of Activated Carbon on the Adsorption Equilibrium of Aromatics in Non-Aqueous Media

The effect of hydrophobicity on the adsorption of aromatics on metal-free activated carbons was studied. Adsorption isotherms for phenol, aniline, benzene, and xylene were generated in cyclohexane and heptane media, using seven carbons with different surface heterogeneity. The hydrophobicity of these carbons was probed using flow microcalorimetry (FMC). Surface polarity and solvent and adsorbate hydrophobicity were found to influence the adsorption capacity. For adsorbates that do not form hydrogen bonds with oxygen on the carbon surface, higher surface acidity lowers adsorption capacity due to increased polarity. In contrast, for adsorbates that can form hydrogen bonds with surface oxygen, the capacity is enhanced at higher surface acidities. A higher solvent hydrophobicity was found to decrease capacity for all the aromatic adsorbates studied, except at high surface polarity, where the effect of the solvent was found to be minimal.     

A gas-solid chromatographic study of the adsorption of hydrocarbons and alcohols on graphite

Summary The Henry's law region of the adsorption isotherms for several hydrocarbons and alcohols on a graphite was studied by gas-solid chromatography. The thermodynamic functions at zero surface coverage were determined. The low heats of adsorption indicate a highly homogeneous surface. A constant increment of the standard free energy with the number of carbon atoms in the lineal adsorbates was found. Attemps were made to estimate the London contribution to the surface free energy of the adsorbents. A non-specific interaction between the graphite and the adsorbates was shown.     

A new method of thin-layer chromatography with controlled vapor phase

A new version of thin-layer chromatography with controlled vapor phase is described. It has no analogues in planar and liquid chromatography. The method is based on a dynamic change in the physicochemical properties of a chromatographic system as a result of the contact of the plate bearing analytes with a vapor phase of certain composition created in the chromatographic chamber. The active vapor phase is created either by pumping a gas through the chromatographic chamber or by introducing a solvent vapor from another part of the chamber. The composition and properties of the mobile phase are controlled immediately in the course of separation by means of absorption or adsorption of one or another gas with the mobile or stationary phase. By the examples of benzoic acids and nitroaniline isomers in the presence of carbon oxide and vapors of acetic acid, ammonia, and ethanol, it was shown that this procedure utilizes the difference in the protolytic and solvation properties of adsorbates for changing the adsorption equilibrium and the selectivity and efficiency of separation.     

吸附质大小对吸附树脂粒内扩散行为的影响(Ⅰ)——大孔聚苯乙烯型吸附树脂粒内扩散机制的考察

本文详细考察了大孔聚苯乙烯型吸附树脂对不同大小吸附质分子的吸附动力学行为,当吸附过程为粒扩散控制时,树脂孔径与分子尺寸的相对大小不仅决定了粒扩散速度的大小,也影响了粒扩散的控制机制.随着吸附质分子尺寸的增加,决定粒扩散速度的控速步骤也逐渐由表面扩散转向孔扩散。此外,还利用建立的扩散方程,测定了树脂吸附不间大小的吸附质时的粒扩散常数B和有效粒扩散系数De。     

甲烷在石墨化热解碳黑和活性炭上的吸附

为研究影响碳基吸附剂吸附超临界温度气体的主要因素,选择石墨化热解碳黑BP280和Ajax活性炭,分析超临界温度高压甲烷在其上的吸附平衡。应用容积法,在压力0~20.5 MPa、温度253 K~313 K测定甲烷的吸附平衡数据,并由等量吸附线标绘和亨利定律常数确定等量吸附热。引入通用吸附等温方程,再由方程的Langmuir标绘确定最大吸附容量,进而通过方程的线性化计算吸附平衡态中甲烷分子的作用能。结果表明,甲烷在两种吸附剂上的最大吸附容量均随温度而变化,并都小于液态甲烷的密度;甲烷在碳黑和活性炭上的等量吸附热分别为11.9 kJ/mol~12.5 kJ/mol和17.5 kJ/mol~22.5 kJ/mol,体现了两种吸附剂不同的表面能量分布;甲烷分子间作用能随吸附量的变化特点反映了超临界温度甲烷以类似于压缩气体状态聚集的特点和吸附剂结构上的差异。碳基吸附剂的比表面积和微孔容积是影响其储存甲烷容量的重要因素。     

Preparation and adsorption properties of phospho‐L‐glutamic acid on hydroxyapatite

Phospho‐L‐glutamic acid was successfully prepared by the phosphorylation of glutamic acid, and its adsorption on synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) was studied together with glutamic. The adsorption behaviors of both adsorbates were adequately described by a Langmuirian model. From the comparison between two different adsorbates, the results of the investigation indicated that the phosphate group in phospho‐L‐glutamic acid can greatly enhanced the adsorption affinity for HAP, the improvement of which was achieved through replacing the same group on the surface of HAP and interacting with the surface calcium ion of HAP by electrostatic attraction. The results obtained laid the solid foundation for further research on the regulating function of phosphorylated amino acids with hydroxyapatite biological composites.
