The Effect of Water Addition on the Electrosurface Properties of Quartz in Solutions of Alkali Metal Bromides in Ethanol

Electrosurface properties (the -potential and surface conductivity) of quartz particles in water–ethanol solutions of CsBr, NaBr, and LiBr with concentrations C = 10^–5–10^–2 M are studied. The (log C) dependences plotted from the results of electrophoretic measurements with allowance made for the particle surface conductivity demonstrate that, when water content in the aforementioned solutions increases from 4 to 40 vol %, the -potential of quartz becomes more negative and the isoelectric point shifts toward higher electrolyte concentrations, which increase in the following series: CsBr < NaBr < LiBr. This shift of the isoelectric point is explained by a decrease in the specific interaction of the alkali metal cations with the quartz surface because of a rise in the degree of their hydration (supersolvation).     

Synthesis and Electrosurface Properties of One- and Two-Component Nanostructures

One- and two-component (titanium and aluminum oxides) oxide nanostructures are synthesized by molecular layer-by-layer deposition from the gas phase onto silicon oxide and boehmite substrates. Two-component nanostructures are prepared by the consecutive deposition of nanolayers of aluminum and titanium oxides onto a dispersed silica substrate. Electrosurface properties of thus-prepared samples are studied and compared. It is shown that the positions of the isoelectric point and the point of zero charge of a 5TiO₂/5Al₂O₃/SiO₂ composite sample are governed by an outer titanium oxide nanolayer and are similar to those of bulk titanium oxide and a nanostructured film of titanium oxide deposited onto an aluminum hydroxide substrate.__________Translated from Kolloidnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 67, No. 4, 2005, pp. 469–474.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Bogdanova, Ermakova, Chikhachev, Sidorova, Aleksandrov, Savina.     

Structure and Ion-Selective Properties of 2-Phosphorylphenols

The structure and ion-selective properties of some 2-phosphorylphenols were studied. It was shown that, irrespective of the nature of the substituents on the benzene ring and on the phosphorus atom, these compounds exhibit potentiometric selectivity to cesium cation. The crystal structures of 2-(diphenylphosphoryl)-4-ethylphenol and 2-[(diphenylphosphoryl)methyl]phenol were established.     

Synthesis and Properties of 5-Chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline-Substituted Azacrown Ethers: A New Family of Highly Metal Ion-Selective Lariat Ethers

New 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline (CHQ)-substituted aza-18-crown-6 (4), diaza-18-crown-6 (1), diaza-21-crown-7 (2), and diaza-24-crown-8 (3) ligands, where CHQ was attached through the 7-position, and aza-18-crown-6 (11) and diaza-18-crown-6 (10) macrocycles, where CHQ was attached through the 2-position, were prepared. Thermodynamic quantities for complexation of these CHQ-substituted macrocycles with alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metal ions were determined in absolute methanol at 25.0 degrees C by calorimetric titration. Two isomers, 1 and 10, which are different only in the attachment positions of the CHQ to the parent macroring, exhibit remarkable differences in their affinities toward the metal ions. Compound 1 forms very stable complexes with Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Cu(2+), and Ni(2+) (log K = 6.82, 5.31, 10.1, and 11.4, respectively), but not with the alkali metal ions. Ligand 10 displays strong complexation with K(+) and Ba(2+) (log K = 6.61 and 12.2, respectively) but not with Mg(2+) or Cu(2+). The new macrocycles and their complexes have been characterized by means of UV-visible and (1)H NMR spectra and X-ray crystallography. New peaks in the UV spectrum of the Mg(2+)-1 complex could allow an analytical determination of Mg(2+) in very dilute solutions in the presence of other alkali and alkaline earth metal cations. (1)H NMR spectral and X-ray crystallographic studies indicate that ligand 10 forms a cryptate-like structure when coordinated with K(+) and Ba(2+), which induces an efficient overlap of the two hydroxyquinoline rings. Such overlapping forms a pseudo second macroring that results in a significant increase in both complex stability and cation selectivity.

Role of Electrosurface Properties of Thiobacteria and Galenite in Ore Microbial Leaching

Electrokinetic properties of thiobacteria in the process of galenite microbial leaching were studied by microelectrophoresis method. It was shown that, in the region of acidic pH, precipitates of oxidized galenite and thiobacterium cells possess low negative electrokinetic potential. The analysis of the contribution of electrostatic and molecular forces, as well as of biospecific factor to the efficiency of interaction between the cell and sulfide mineral was performed. It was assumed that, after the attachment at the sulfide surface, the cells generate a microenvironment with high redox potential and buffer properties that promotes the highest oxidation activity of cells and optimal conditions for sulfide oxidation. With the accumulation of Fe(III) in the environment and the aging of culture, its surface charge grows and the cell tends to leave the microenvironment to find new accessible substrate. Changes in the value of cell surface charge can be of adaptation character and promote optimal functioning of its bioenergetic systems in the redox medium including sulfur and iron.     

Electrosurface Properties of Schungite III Particles in Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions

The kinetics of electrolyte extraction into water and the electrosurface properties (adsorption of potential-determining ions H⁺ and OH⁻ and ζ potential) of five fractions of schungite III (particle sizes of < 5, 50–100, 160–400, 400–1000, and 1600–2500 µm) are studied in aqueous NaCl, CaCl₂, and AlCl₃ solutions at different pH values. It is shown that, in water and NaCl and CaCl₂ solutions, the point of zero charge (PZC) of the particles with sizes of 50–100 and 160–400 µm is observed at pH 4.0 and is independent of the electrolyte concentration. The isoelectric point (IEP) for small (<5 µm) schungite III particles is observed at pH 2.8. The IEP position is independent of CaCl₂ concentration, but it shifts to pH 2.4 when NaCl concentration increases to 0.1 M. The disclosed differences in the PZC and IEP values may be caused by different compositions of particles of different fractions. In a 10⁻⁵ M AlCl₃ solution, schungite particles demonstrate three IEPs (pH 3.0, 4.5, and 7.4) due to different degrees of AlCl₃ hydrolysis at different pH values.__________Translated from Kolloidnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 67, No. 4, 2005, pp. 450–457.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Aleinikov, Lorentsson, Chernoberezhskii.

Electrosurface Properties of Microcrystalline Cellulose of Different Origin in 1 : 1 Electrolyte Solutions

Electrosurface characteristics (the exchange capacity and the electrokinetic potential) of the samples of cotton and wood microcrystalline celluloses (MCC) were studied as functions of the pH and the concentration of background electrolyte (10^–3–1M NaCl). It was found that the MCC samples are negatively charged over the studied pH range (3.5–10.0). The results of measuring exchange capacities were used for calculating constants of surface reactions. The values of dissociation constants of the surface groups allow us to state that the charge of the MCC surface within the studied pH range is mainly determined by the dissociation of carboxyl groups. The surface and electrokinetically mobile charges, concentrations of fixed and mobile ions, as well as Donnan's potentials were calculated for the studied samples.

The adsorption of potential-determining ions on aluminum and iron hydroxides and silicon dioxide was measured in KCl and NaCl background solutions. It was shown that dependences of the adsorption on pH and the concentration of a background 1 : 1 electrolyte (NaCl) have the shape characteristic of oxide surfaces; the of values pH_PZCwere determined. Results of adsorption measurements were used for the determination of constants of surface reactions and adsorption potentials of ions in terms of the 2-pK model.     

Effect of the Surface Structure of Poly(styrene-co-acrolein) Microspheres and Its Modification by Protein on Electrosurface Properties

The electrophoretic mobility of poly(styrene-co-acrolein) microspheres was studied as a function of storage time. It was shown that pH_IEP2.0 is retained but the abnormal dependence of electrophoretic mobility on NaCl concentration is replaced by classical dependence. When comparing chemisorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the microsphere surface for various latex samples, the differences in the isotherm patterns was revealed; moreover, the prevalence of surface concentration of carboxyl groups over that of aldehyde groups resulted in a decrease in adsorption. After the modification of the microspheres by protein, the values of pH_IEPfall within the range of 3.5–5.0 and their dependence on the amount of surface-bound protein passes the minimum. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the different arrangement patterns of protein molecules on the microsphere surface and the changes of BSA macromolecule conformations under the effect of a dispersion medium and as a result of chemical interaction with the polymer surface.     

Structural and Electrosurface Properties of Porous Glasses of Various Composition in 1 : 1 Electrolyte Solutions

Complex studies of structural (the specific surface area, the volume porosity, the structural resistance coefficient, and the average pore radius), adsorption and electrokinetic (the electrical conductivity, the ion transport numbers, and the electrokinetic potential) characteristics as functions of pH and the concentration of KCl solution were carried out on porous glasses (PGs) with or without lead oxide and leached under various conditions. It was established that temperature of the leaching solution affects the colloidochemical parameters of PGs, while the addition of salt to the leaching solution exerts practically no influence on the PG behavior. It was shown that the addition of lead oxide results in the formation of membranes with thinner pores and higher surface charge.     

Adsorption Modification of Dispersed Aluminum: The Effect of Surfactant and Polymer Adsorption on the Colloidal and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Organosuspensions

Adsorption of surfactants (stearic acid, octadecylamine) and polymers (butadiene and nitrile synthetic rubbers with carboxyl end groups) on bare and modified surfaces of aluminum dispersed in polar and nonpolar solvents (isopropyl nitrate, octane) was studied. Adsorption data are compared with the results of the study of aggregative and sedimentation stabilities of aluminum dispersions, as well as with the mechanical characteristics of sediments. Notions of fractal nature of particle aggregates are used to describe data on organosuspension sedimentation. Experimental results are analyzed in terms of donor–acceptor properties of organosuspension components and interactions at the particle–solvent and particle–modifier interfaces.

Adsorption Properties of Metal Ions Using Alumina Nano-Particles in Aqueous and Alcoholic Solutions

Different metal ions in aqueous and alcoholic solutions were adsorbed on alumina nano-particles prepared by the sol-gel method. The flocculation of the alumina sol was induced by the addition of different metal ions in solution. The flocculation kinetics was obtained by monitoring the particle growth with time using dynamic light scattering. These experiments were carried out following two different methods: a) the multiple injection method which consist in adding small amounts of metal ions until the critical flocculation concentration was reached and b) single injection method where an amount of metal ions equal to the critical flocculation concentration is added all in one shot. The efficiency of metal adsorption was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy.     

水稻秸秆的改性及其对重金属Cu2+的吸附

重金属Cu2+可直接或间接危害人体,作为天然吸附剂的农业废弃物因价廉易得、来源广泛、吸附高效等优点备受青睐。本文选用水稻秸秆（RS）为吸附原料,分别经酸、碱改性后得到H2SO4-RS和NaOH-RS,通过FT-IR、SEM和BET对改性前后吸附材料的表面官能团、表观形貌和结构等理化性质进行分析,考察投加量、吸附时间、初始Cu2+浓度和离子强度对吸附效果的影响,并结合吸附动力学、吸附等温线和热力学模型对吸附过程进行探讨。结果表明：改性水稻秸秆对Cu2+达到吸附平衡所需的投加量和时间较之未改性RS大大减少,去除率由42.0%分别提升至85.9%（H2SO4-RS）和90.0%（NaOH-RS）;随初始Cu2+浓度和离子强度的增大,RS的吸附性能显著降低,H2SO4-RS有所降低,而NaOH-RS只是稍有下降,NaOH-RS对150 mg/L含Cu2+溶液的去除率仍达到84.2%,离子强度cNaCl = 0.1 mol/L时去除率维持在86.1%。吸附动力学和吸附等温实验表明水稻秸秆对Cu2+的吸附符合准二级动力学模型和Langmuir吸附等温模型;热力学分析显示,相同温度下RS、H2SO4-RS和NaOH-RS吸附Cu2+过程的ΔG逐渐减小,且改性后两种吸附剂的ΔG均小于0,ΔH由改性前的正值转变为负值,说明水稻秸秆改性后吸附Cu2+的自发性更强,为自发的放热过程。

Influence of Water Vapor on Silica Membrane: Adsorption Properties and Percolation Effect

The influence of water vapor on silica membrane with pore size of 4 ? has been investigated in terms of adsorption properties and percolation effect at 50 and 90 oC. Two methods are employed: spectroscopic ellipsometry for water vapor adsorption and gas permeation of binary mixture of helium and H₂O. The adsorption behaviors on the silica membrane comply with the first-order Langmuir isotherm. The investigation demonstrates that helium flux through the silica membrane decreases dramatically in presence of H₂O molecules. The transport of gas molecules through such small pores is believed not to be continuous any more, whereas it is reasonably assumed that the gas molecules hop from one occupied site to another unoccupied one under the potential gradient. When the coverage of H₂O molecules on the silica surface increases, the dramatic decrease of helium flux could be related to percolation effect, where the adsorbed H₂O molecules on the silica surface block the hopping of helium molecules.
