Preparation of surface-charged CNF aerogels and investigation of their ion adsorption properties

Cross-linked cellulose nanofibril (CNF) aerogel with positive and negative surface charge was prepared. For the surface charge modification of CNF from its intrinsic negative charge to positive charge, glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride was used. To stabilize the network structure of CNF aerogel in aqueous condition, maleic acid and sodium hypophosphite cross-linking treatment was applied. The ion adsorption properties of positive and negative charged cross-linked CNF aerogels were evaluated using the Langmuir adsorption model, and it was affected by pH of the ion solution. The maximum ion adsorption capacity of negatively charged cross-linked CNF aerogel was 0.79 mmol/g for the nickel cation while that of the positively charged cross-linked aerogel was 0.62 mmol/g for the permanganate anion.

Thermal behaviour and adsorption properties of some benzothiazole derivatives

The thermal stability and the adsorption properties have been investigated for three benzothiazole compounds: 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (NCBSA), and 2,2′-dibenzothiazole disulphide (BTD), reported in our early studies as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in different media. The electrochemical results were used to calculate the degree of surface coverage (θ). The adsorption mechanism of the three inhibitors was discussed according to the free energy of adsorption ( \( \Delta G_{{\text{ads}}}^{\circ } \) ) value obtained from Temkin adsorption isotherm, this being the best way to quantitatively express the adsorption process of their molecules on carbon steel surface. Thus, a mixed type mechanism involving the synergism between physisorption and chemisorption was proposed. The thermal analysis curves showed that, for the occurred events up to 470 °C, mass losses take place with endothermic effects followed by the total oxidation of the residue with an exothermic effect around 520 °C. Consequently, their effectiveness follows the order: BTD > NCBSA ≥ MBT, while the thermal stability ranges as follows: NCBSA < BTD ≤ MBT.

Analysis of trace elements and their physico-chemical forms in natural waters

Trace elements in natural waters can be present in different physico-chemical forms, varying in size, charge and density properties. Knowledge of speciation is essential for understanding the transport, distribution, and biological uptake of trace elements in the environment. The development of techniques to provide reliable information on physico-chemical forms has, therefore, become a challenge within Analytical Chemistry.When selecting analytical methods for the determination of total concentrations or fractions of trace elements in natural waters, no exclusion of species should occur, or at least it must be accounted for. Furthermore, the determination limits must be sufficiently low to allow the actual concentrations to be determined with reasonable precision and accuracy. For very low concentrations, preconcentration techniques are applicable, provided the chemical yield of the spike represents that of the original species present. For methods meeting these criteria, the suitability for routine analysis should be considered.When the physico-chemical forms of trace elements are to be determined, the fractionation should take placein situ or shortly after sampling. As the concentrations involved in speciation studies may be extremely low, there is an increasing awareness of potential sources of errors influencing analytical results. Sample collection and separation/fractionation/concentration procedures prior to analysis are, therefore, essential within Analytical Chemistry, and the whole procedure must be taken into account when interpreting the results. There are, however, several requirements which should be met by techniques applicable for speciation purposes. In general, size fractionation techniques (e.g.in situ hollow fibre ultrafiltration) should be applied prior to the addition of any chemical reagents (charge fractionation techniques).     

Theoretical predictions of properties of group-2 elements including element 120 and their adsorption on noble metal surfaces

Trends in properties of group-2 elements Ca through element 120 and their M(2) and MAu dimers were determined on the basis of atomic and molecular relativistic density functional theory calculations. The relativistic contraction and stabilization of the ns AO with increasing atomic number were shown to result in the inversion of trends both in atomic and molecular properties in group 2 beyond Ba, so that element 120 should be chemically similar to Sr. Due to the same reason, bonding in (120)(2) and 120Au should be the weakest among the considered here M(2) and MAu. Using calculated dissociation energies of M(2), the sublimation enthalpy, ΔH(sub), of element 120 of 150 kJ/mol was estimated via a correlation between these quantities in group 2. Using the M-Au binding energies, the adsorption enthalpies, ΔH(ads), of element 120 of 172 kJ/mol on gold, 127 kJ/mol on platinum, and 50 kJ/mol on silver were estimated via a correlation with known ΔH(ads) in the group. These moderate values of ΔH(ads) are indicative of a possibility of chromatography adsorption studies of element 120 on these noble metal surfaces.     

Preparation and properties of some α-aza-amino-acid derivatives,their possible use in peptide synthesis

Some derivatives of azaglycine and azaphenylalanine are described. Esters of acetyl- and benzoyl-aza-amino-acids rapidly cyclise to stable oxadiazolones and it is concluded that similar derivatives would be unsuitable for aza-peptide synthesis. t-Butyloxycarbonyl-azaglycine azide was too unreactive for use in peptide synthesis. Benzoyl-azaglycylphenylalanine ethyl ester and acetyl-azaphenylalanylphenylalanine ethyl ester were prepared by coupling benzoyl hydrazide and N-acetyl-N'-benzylhydrazide respectively with 2,4-dinitrophenyloxycarbonyl-phenylalanine ethyl ester.     

Preparation of ion-imprinted silica gels functionalized with glycine, diglycine, and triglycine and their adsorption properties for copper ions

We report a new procedure for modifying the surface of silica gels with glycine, diglycine, and triglycine in the presence of copper ions to create a new type of copper-imprinted sorbent, which exhibits a high adsorption capacity and selectivity for copper ions. Our results show that copper adsorbed onto the copper-imprinted silica gel is 50% higher than that on nonimprinted silica gel at pH 4.5. The high adsorption capacity observed for the copper-imprinted silica gel is attributed to the stable copper complexes formed with two adjacent glycine, diglycine, or triglycine molecules with proper intermolecular distances obtained from the ion-imprinting procedure. Another possible reason for the high adsorption capacity is that the ion-imprinting procedure prevents the surface from being overcrowded; therefore, copper ions can form very stable 1:1 complexes with immobilized diglycine or triglycine. Interestingly, the imprinting effect is even more pronounced when the adsorption experiments are conducted in the presence of competing metal ions such as magnesium and calcium. The copper-imprinted silica gel exhibits a higher adsorption capacity than does the nonimprinted silica gel for all pH values, even when the concentrations of magnesium and calcium are 50 and 76 times higher than the concentration of copper.     

Preparation of amino-modified hydroxyapatite and its uranium adsorption properties

The amino-hydroxyapatite (HAP-NH₂) was synthesized by grafted amino functional groups onto hydroxyapatite. The uranium adsorption performance of HAP-NH₂ was studied under different conditions. The results indicated that HAP-NH₂ possessed high adsorption capacity (96 mg g⁻¹), wide pH values range (2–8) and fast adsorption rate (20 min). The adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm models of HAP-NH₂ revealed that the uranium adsorption process was belonged to chemical adsorption. Furthermore, the main forces between uranium ions and HAP-NH₂ were attributed to hydroxyl, amino and phosphorous functional groups.

     

Determination of trace elements in wines and classification according to their provenance

Provenance and authenticity of wines can be recognized on the basis of typical mineral and trace element patterns by means of chemometric methods. Therefore analytical methods were developed for the determination of As, Be, Co, Cs, Ga, Li, Nb, Ni, Rb, Te, Ti, W, Y, and Zr as well as Mo, Cd, Sb, Tl, U, and the rare earth elements in wines by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For low risk of contamination or loss of analyte as well as depletion of sample amount and an easy sample pretreatment, direct measurement of diluted wines was studied. The accuracy of the analytical results was proven by recovery experiments by method comparison with standard addition methods and measurement of digested wines. In addition to applying statistical methods for characterizing the precision of the methods, the uncertainty of the measurements was estimated.Results for the elements mentioned above and additional 16 elements (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mg, P, Pb, Si, Sn, Sr, V, and Zn) were evaluated by data analytical methods. Due to a specific choice of the analytes for multivariate statistical investigation a prediction rate by cross validation of 88.6% could be achieved.

The reaction of 4,4-dinitrovaleronitrile with hydrogen chloride and methanol gives the hydrochloride of the methyl imino ester of 4,4-dinitrovaleric acid. The latter is converted to the free imino ester, amide, and methyl ester of 4,4-dinitrovaleric acid. The same hydrochloride readily condenses with ethylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine, or o-aminophenol to give, respectively, imidazoline, benzimidazole, or benzoxazole, which contain a,-dinitrobutyl radical in the 2-position. The methyl imino ester of 4,4-dinitrovaleric acid is rapidly converted to 2,4,6-tris(,-dinitrobutyl)-1,3,5-triazine at room temperature.See [1] for communication V.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 698–699, May, 1971.
