Interaction between polyethylene films and bromhexine HCl in solid dosage form. V. Effect of packaging materials on the sorption of bromhexine HCl.

A prevention method of the sorption of bromhexine HCl to plastic materials used in packaging was investigated. Four kinds of plastic packaging materials were used: Polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Three polyethylenes having different densities were used. No effect of PE density on the sorption of bromhexine HCl from granules was observed. The effects of different kinds of plastics on the sorption of bromhexine HCl from solution and granules were studied. The sorption of bromhexine HCl to PAN, which had a high relative dielectric constant, was the most depressed among the four plastics. The sorption of meclizine HCl to PAN from the solution was also lowest, the same as bromhexine HCl.     

Trace Enrichment and Atomic Absorption Spectrometric Determination of Lead,Copper, Cadmium and Nickel in Drinking Water Samples by Use of an Activated Carbon Column

Abstract

A simple method for atomic absorption spectrometric determination of lead, copper, cadmium and nickel in drinking water samples after preconcentration by sorbing 1-(2-pyridylazo) 2-naphthol (PAN) complex of these metals on an activated carbon column has been established. The metal/PAN complexes were quantitatively retained on the activated carbon in the pH range 6-8. Metals retained on the activated carbon column were completely eluted with 2M HCl in acetone. This method was applied to the determination of lead, copper, cadmium and nickel in drinking water samples and good results were obtained (Recoveries >95%, relative standard deviations <7%, relative error <3%).     

Removal of Cd Ions by Sol-Gel Silica Doped with 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol

1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol (PAN) doped sol-gel silica has been investigated for removal of metal ions from aqueous media. In the doped sol-gel silica, the large reagent molecules are entrapped inside the pores while small metal ions can diffuse into the pores where they are complexed by the reagent and retained inside the pores. This new solid sorbent was applied for removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. The kinetics, adsorption isotherm, equilibration time and pH effect on the removal were studied to optimize the conditions to be utilized on a large scale. It was observed that a sol gel loaded with 0.09 mmol PAN/g, had a capacity of 0.044 mmol Cd/g. The desorption of metal ions was carried by 1 M HCl and the sol-gel silica sorbent could be regenerated and reused repeatedly.     

Synthesis of l-(5-Nitro-2-Pyridylazo)-2.7-Dihydroxy-naphthalene and its Color Reaction with Cobalt (Ⅱ)

Pytrdylazo reagent is an important chromogenic reagent. PAN is typical one. The new reagent, l-(5-nitro-2-Pyridylazo)-2.7-dihydroxy-naphthalene (5-NO₂-PADN) has been synthesized by to take up -OH and -NO₂ groups at the PAN, and it was confirmed with IR and elements analysis.     

Effect of CNT incorporation on PAN/PPy nanofibers synthesized by electrospinning method

In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added polyacrylonitrile/polypyrrole (PAN/PPy) electrospun nanofibers were produced. Average diameters of the nanofibers were measured as 268 and 153 nm for 10 and 25 wt% of PPy contents, respectively. A relatively higher strain to failure values (23.3%) were observed for the low PPy content. When as-grown CNTs (1 and 4 wt%) were added into the PAN/PPy blends, disordered nanofibers were observed to form within the microstructure. To improve the interfacial properties of CNTs/PAN/PPy composites, CNTs were functionalized with H₂SO₄/HNO₃/HCl solution. The functionalized CNTs were well dispersed within the nanofibers and aligned along the direction of nanofibers. Therefore, beads formation on nanofibers decreased. The impedance of the nanofibers was found to decrease with the PPy content and CNT addition. These nanofibers had a great potential to be used as an electrochemical actuator or a tissue engineering scaffold.

Preconcentration of copper, nickel and zinc with Amberlite XAD-16 resin

Summary An adsorption-elution and atomic absorption spectrophotometric method using Amberlite XAD-16 is proposed for the preconcentration and determination of Cu, Ni and Zn. Optimum conditions for the preconcentration were investigated. Recoveries of the elements were found to be 82.4±0.3%, 95±3% and 71±1% for Cu, Zn and Ni, respectively, at 95% confidence level. The recoveries were increased to about 99% for Cu and Ni by complexing with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN). The effect of Na and K on the preconcentration of trace metals has also been investigated. The method was applied to a tap water.     

Cloud point formation based on mixed micelles in the presence of electrolytes for cobalt extraction and preconcentration

A new micelle-mediated phase separation of metal ions, applied for preconcentrating trace levels of cobalt as a prior step to its determination by flame atomic spectroscopy, has been developed. Two methods were proposed employing both Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a mixed micellar system while the phase separation was induced by HCl or NaCl addition. Cobalt was complexed with pyridylazo compounds (PAN, PAR, 5-Br-PADAP) in an aqueous surfactant medium and it was concentrated in the surfactant rich phase after phase separation. The chemical variables affecting the cloud point extraction were evaluated, optimized and successfully applied to cobalt determination in pharmaceutical samples. Under the optimized conditions, the preconcentration system permitted limits of detection as 1.1 and 1.6 μg l⁻¹ cobalt, respectively, when HCl and NaCl were used. Both proposed methods showed linear calibration within a 25-200 μg l⁻¹ cobalt range. The extraction efficiency was investigated at different cobalt concentrations (40-185 μg l⁻¹) and good recoveries (98-102%) were obtained by using NaCl as electrolyte. The results obtained were compared with those observed with ET AAS.     

Effect of copolymerization on the crystalline structure of polyacrylonitrile

X-ray diffraction of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (poly-HEMA) and their random copolymers containing low proportions of HEMA has been carried out in order to investigate the changes in the PAN structure produced by introducing some HEMA units into the chain. Both crystalline and amorphous phases were distinguishable in PAN and the copolymers. Considerable decrease in crystallinity on copolymerization was found, but not showing any quantitative relationship with the HEMA content. The crystalline lattice in the copolymers remained similar to that of PAN. A two-phase (crystalline and amorphous) structure of PAN was found more suitable to explain the results.     

Extraction studies on the group VB–VIIB and VIII elements using 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol as chelating reagent

Extraction behaviour of the chelates of group VB–VIIB and VIII elements using 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) has been studied as a function of pH. Studies have been made to back-extract the metal ions from the organic phase into the aqueous solution containing the optimum concentration of KCN and HClO₄ and buffers of appropriate pH. The masking agents such as citrate, cyanide, thiosulphate, fluoride and thiourea were used to achieve more specific separations. The studies indicate the potentiality of PAN as a useful solvent extracting reagent in devising group chemical separation procedures for activation analysis.     

酸及其浓度对多接收器等离子体质谱法测定Cu和Zn同位素的影响

运用多接收器等离子体质谱法 (MC-ICP-MS)测定同位素时,必须进行仪器质量歧视校正,而酸浓度对仪器质量歧视的影响是过去被忽视的问题.本实验以Cu和Zn同位素分析为例,研究了在HNO3和HCl介质进样条件下酸浓度对仪器质量歧视的影响.结果表明:HNO3 的浓度对Cu和Zn同位素的仪器质量歧视有显著影响,但二者并不同步;HCl的浓度在0.05 mol/L ～ 0.3 mol/L范围内对Cu和Zn同位素的仪器质量歧视没有影响.这说明与HNO3相比,HCl是一种更好的进样介质.在0.1 mol/L HCl 介质条件下,65Cu/63Cu 和66Zn/64Zn比值测定的长期重现性 (外部误差)均为0.00008 (2sd),比在HNO3介质下的重现性有明显改善.     

Determination of impurities in tantalum by a radiochemical neutron activation analysis

A radiochemical separation method using Dowex 1×8 (200–400 mesh) has been applied to two tantalum metals of 99.9% purity. While tantalum was still retained on the resin, the elements Na, K, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Zn were separated with 2M HF and subsequently the elements Sc, As, Zr, Mo, Eu, W and Hf with a mixture of 0.5M HF and 3M HCl. The separation yields for all impurities was 98–100%. Elemental contents were calculated by a single comparator method using two monitors.     

Determination of the rare earth elements La, Eu, and Yb using solidified floating organic drop microextraction and electrothermal vaporization ICP-MS

We have developed a method for the determination of trace levels of the rare earth elements La, Eu, and Yb in biological and environmental samples. It is based on solidified floating organic drop microextraction using 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) as a chelator, followed by electrothermal vaporization (ETV) and quantification by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. PAN also acts as a modifier in ETV. The effects of pH, amount of PAN, extraction time, stirring rate, volume of sample solution, and temperature program were examined. Under optimized conditions, the detection limits are 2.1, 0.65 and 0.91 pg mL^?1 for the elements La, Eu and Yb, respectively. The relative standard deviations are <6.0 % (c?=?0.1 ng mL^?1, n?=?9). When applied to the analysis of (spiked) natural water samples, the recoveries range from 92 to 105 %. The accuracy was validated with certified reference materials (combined sample of branch and leaf of shrub: GBW 07603 and human hair: GBW 07601), and the results were in good agreement with the certified values.

矿化垃圾衍生燃料热解过程HCl与H_2S析出规律

采用热重红外质谱联用法(TG-FTIR-MS)和水平管式热解炉/化学吸收法,对比研究了矿化垃圾(ARDF)和常规垃圾(NRDF)衍生燃料热解过程腐蚀性气体(HCl和H_2S)的析出特性,分析了热解温度及热解类型对析出行为的影响并对热解固相产物腐蚀性元素的赋存特点进行了考察。结果表明,慢速热解过程,两者腐蚀性气体的析出特征温度区间相似,均分为两段,HCl析出区间为200-400和420-500℃,H_2S析出区间为230-370和380-670℃,而ARDF表现为较低的HCl和H_2S析出率;快速热解过程,两者腐蚀性气体的析出受热解温度影响较大,且规律有所差别:随热解温度的升高,HCl析出率呈S型变化(先高后低再高),而H_2S析出率呈正相关,均在850℃达到峰值,其中,HCl析出率分别为48.8%(ARDF)和29.4%(NRDF),H_2S析出率分别为6.8%(ARDF)和44.6%(NRDF)。因腐蚀性气体差异性的析出规律,两类垃圾热解固相产物腐蚀性元素的赋存与热解温度相关,ARDF的Cl和S元素最高赋存率分别可达59.4%(450℃)和84.3%(750℃),而NRDF的Cl和S元素最高赋存率分别仅为36.7%(850℃)和15.2%(650℃)。说明在合适的热解条件下,相比NRDF,ARDF腐蚀性元素不易释放,倾向于固相赋存,此为不同垃圾衍生燃料的热利用提供了一定依据和参考。     

Optimization of polyacrylonitrile-cysteine resin synthesis and its selective removal of Cu(Ⅱ) in aqueous solutions

Polyacrylonitrile beads(PAN) cysteine(CS) was synthesized from polyacrylonitrile beads(PAN) and cysteine(CS).The content of the functional group and the percentage conversion of the functional group of PAN-CS prepared under the optimum condition using response surface methodology(RSM) for the first attempt were 3.22 mmol/g and 35.78%.The structure was characterized by ET-IR and elemental analysis.The adsorption properties of the resin for Cu(Ⅱ) were investigated by batch and column experiments.Batch adsorption results suggested that PAN-CS had higher adsorption capability for Cu(Ⅱ)than other metal ions and maximum saturated adsorption capacity was 184.7 mg/g.The resin and its metal complexes were studied by FT-IR.Furthermore,the resin can be eluted easily using 1 mol/L HC1.PAN-CS can provide a potential application for selective removal of copper from waste solution.     

Effects of fabrication conditions on the structure and function of membranes formed from poly(acrylonitrile–vinylchloride)

Phase-inversion membranes formed from poly(acrylonitril–co-vinylchloride) (PAN–PVC) have been utilized for encapsulating living cells for transplantation; however, a detailed analysis of the structure and function of the integral skin layer has not been reported. PAN–PVC membranes fabricated under different precipitation conditions were analyzed using microscopic techniques and several functional tests. Structural analysis with scanning atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed the presence of nodular elements in the skin layer which changed as a function of precipitation conditions. In addition, membrane hydraulic permeabilities, sieving coefficients, and diffusive permeabilities also varied with precipitation conditions. Furthermore, changes in the functional properties could be related to the size of the nodular elements and their accompanying interstitial space. The results provide insight into the fundamental interrelationships that exist between membrane fabrication, the fine surface morphology of the skin layer, and membrane performance.     

On-line preconcentration of some rare earth elements in water samples using C18-cartridge modified with l-(2-pyridylazo) 2-naphtol (PAN) prior to simultaneous determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES)

The on-line column preconcentration technique with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP–OES) has been developed using a cartridge filled with octadecyl silica modified by l-(2-pyridylazo) 2-naphtol (PAN). The aim of this method was to determine some rare earth elements (REEs) (Ce, Dy, La, Sm, and Y) and uranium in water samples. Sample solutions were passed through the C₁₈-modified column. The adsorbed cations were subsequently eluted from the column and transferred into the plasma with nitric acid solution for simultaneous determination of them. Sample pH, amount of PAN as a complexing agent, sampling and eluting flowrates and concentration of the eluent were optimized. Detection limits based on three times of standard deviations of blank by 10 replicates were in the range of 11 ng l⁻¹ for Dy to 69 ng l⁻¹ for U. Sample throughput was 10 samples h⁻¹. The proposed method was applied to determine REEs in natural water samples. Recoveries of the REEs from natural water samples were between 95 and 106% with percent relative standard deviation (%R.S.D.) of 1.0–7.9%.

A novel and convenient preparation of antibacterial polyacrylonitrile nanofibers via post-modification using nitrile click chemistry and electrospinning

An efficient, novel and convenient method for the synthesis of modified polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with antibacterial property is reported. The modification of PAN was prepared by a nitrile click chemistry reaction with sodium azide (NaN₃) and silver nitrate (AgNO₃) as catalyst to yield antibacterial polymeric materials with 5-vinyltetrazole units. The results showed that 5-vinyltetrazole units had coordinated with silver ion (Ag⁺). Through the electrostatic spinning technology, the post-modification PAN nanofibers (PAN–Ag⁺ nanofibers) were prepared and the fibers were tested for their antimicrobial properties by the bacterial infection experiment. Afterwards, the antibacterial and stable performance of different proportions of silver ions in PAN nanofibers has been compared. The PAN–Ag⁺ nanofibers are characterized for mechanical and thermomechanical properties, structural analysis, appearance characteristics, as well as the antibacterial properties. And the nanofibers exhibit marvelous chemical stability according to the thermogravimetric analysis. When at 800 °C, the PAN decomposed about 60%, while the decomposition of the PAN–Ag⁺s was 40%. Based on the bacterial infection experiment, PAN–Ag⁺ nanofibers’ antibacterial properties were stronger with the increase of silver ions, such as the number of bacteria clone was smaller and the bacteriostatic ring was larger. Hence, with combination of silver ions, the final polymers show strong antimicrobial properties.     

Structures and cyclization behaviors of gel-spun cellulose/polyacrylonitrile composite fibers

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/cellulose composite fibers have been produced by dry-jet gel spinning through their co-solution. The rheological properties of PAN/cellulose/dimethylacetamide/LiCl solutions containing different cellulose contents from 0 to 10 wt% were characterized, and 5 wt% PAN/cellulose composite solution shows the best solution homogeneity. During gel spinning, the cellulose forms elongated particles inside the gelation bath, and the particle diameters depend on the as-spun draw ratio. It was found that the glass transition of PAN fibers shifts to higher temperatures along with the increase of cellulose content, and the glass transition activation energy of PAN chains becomes higher when cellulose particles become smaller. Regardless the changes of cellulose amount (2–10 wt%) and particle diameter (7.1–1.4 μm), the cyclization activation energy of PAN/cellulose composite fibers is 13–17% lower than that of neat PAN fibers. Our experiments suggest that the addition of cellulose in PAN fibers has no direct effect on the cyclization reaction of PAN chains. Instead, the released by-products during the pyrolysis of cellulose at high temperature degradation affect the cyclization reaction of PAN chains.
