Electroanalysis of Ibuprofen and Its Interaction with Bovine Serum Albumin

The current work presents a sensitive, selective, cost-effective, and environmentally benign protocol for the detection of ibuprofen (IBP) by an electrochemical probe made of a glassy carbon electrode modified with Ag-ZnO and MWCNTs. Under optimized conditions, the designed sensing platform was found to sense IBP up to a 28 nM limit of detection. The interaction of IBP with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry. IBP−BSA binding parameters such as the binding constant and the stoichiometry of complexation were calculated. The results revealed that IBP and BSA form a single strong complex with a binding constant value of 8.7 × 10¹³. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example that reports not only IBP detection but also its BSA complexation.     

介孔吸附剂表面分形分析

用自溶液中吸附的方法测定了介孔硅胶和活性炭的分形维数D.结果表明:(1)硅胶自四氯化碳或环已烷中吸附脂肪醇、酮、酯和含氧芳香化合物,活性炭自水中吸附芳香化合物的等温线均服从Langmuir方程.用极限吸附量n_m^s和表观分子面积σ_a,根据方程log n_m^s=-(D)/(2)log σ_a+常数,可计算出分维D. n_m^s和σ_a是根据Langmuir方程和吸附剂比表面数据求出的.(2)用液相吸附法求出的介孔硅胶的分维值与由气体吸附法求出的值相同,并均近于2.当表面曲率半径大于吸附分子大小时,吸附剂表面可是低分维的.(3)由液相吸附法得到的介孔活性炭的分维也近似为2.可能的解释是,活化作用改变了原始炭的微孔结构,使其成为介孔和大孔.介孔活性炭也可是低分维表面.     

Multicomponent Equilibrium Adsorption on Heterogeneous Adsorbents

A generalized method for prediction of multicomponent adsorption is suggested based on representing that adsorbent volume as energetically inhomogeneous. The method depends on extending the Polanyi potential theory to mixture adsorption. The main feature of the method is that, at constant partial pressure and temperature the composition of an adsorbed phase is not uniform over its volume. Results of applying this theory to non-porous adsorbents have been considered. The prediction ability of the theory is confirmed for the strongly non-ideal system acetone–chloroform–graphitized carbon black. It was shown that the departure from ideal behavior of adsorbed phase is quite close to that for the liquid mixture. Another system considered was oxygen–nitrogen–anatase at 78 K. Although this mixture is ideal, it has been found that there is significant variation in composition over the adsorbed layer due to the difference in the interactions of the quadrupolar N₂ molecule and nonpolar O₂ molecule with the anatase surface.     

Mesoporous Carbons of Well-Organized Structure in the Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Solutions

Mesoporous carbons with differentiated properties were synthesized by using the method of impregnation of mesoporous well-organized silicas. The obtained carbonaceous materials and microporous activated carbon were investigated by applying different methods in order to determine their structural, surface and adsorption properties towards selected dyes from aqueous solutions. In order to verify applicability of adsorbents for removing dyes the equilibrium and kinetic experimental data were measured and analyzed by applying various equations and models. The structural and acid-base properties of the investigated carbons were evaluated by Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) technique, adsorption/desorption of nitrogen, potentiometric titration, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The results of these techniques are complementary, indicating the type of porosity and structural ordering, e.g., the pore sizes determined from the SAXS data are in good agreement with those obtained from nitrogen sorption data. The SAXS and TEM data confirm the regularity of mesoporous carbon structure. The adsorption experiment, especially kinetic measurements, reveals the utility of mesoporous carbons in dye removing, taking into account not only the adsorption uptake but also the adsorption rate.     

Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Effect of Moisture on Methane Adsorption and Desorption by Activated Carbon at 273.5 K

Adsorption and desorption of methane by activated carbon (AC) at constant temperature and at various pressures were investigated. The effect of moisture was also studied. A volumetric method was used, up to 40 bar, at a temperature of 273.5 K. Results of a dry AC sample were compared with those obtained from a moist sample and two different ACs with different physical and surface properties were used. As expected, the results showed that the existence of moisture, trapped in the AC pores, could lead to a decrease in the amount of methane adsorbed and a decrease in the amount of methane delivered during desorption. To model the experimental results, a large variety of adsorption isotherms were used. The regressed parameters for the adsorption isotherms were obtained using the experimental data generated in the present study. The accuracy of the results obtained from the different adsorption isotherms was favorably compared.     

Synthesis and photocatalytic activity of the Co-containing materials based on amorphous SiO2

Functional materials based on highly dispersed amorphous silica and cobalt compounds have been obtained by solvothermal and mechanochemical methods. The formation of silicate Co₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ under hydrothermal conditions has been established. This composition, in comparison with mechano-mixes, provides better photoactivity in the hydroquinone decomposition reaction under ultraviolet irradiation, herewith maintaining the surface characteristics of amorphous SiO₂.

Interaction of dissolved proteins with spherical polyelectrolyte brushes

We consider the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB). The SPB consist of a solid polystyrene core of 100nm diameter onto which linear polyelectrolyte chains (poly(acrylic acid), (PAA)) are grafted. The adsorption of BSA is studied at a pH of 6.1 at different concentrations of added salt and buffer (MES). We observe strong adsorption of BSA onto the SPB despite the effect that the particles as well as the dissolved BSA are charged negatively. The adsorption of BSA is strongest at low salt concentration and decreases drastically with increasing amounts of added salt. The adsorbed protein can be washed out again by raising the ionic strength. The various driving forces for the adsorption are discussed. It is demonstrated that the main driving force is located in the electrostatic interaction of the protein with the brush layer of the particles. All data show that the SPB present a new class of carrier particles whose interaction with proteins can be tuned in a well-defined manner.

The Intestinal and Biliary Metabolites of Ibuprofen in the Rat with Experimental Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia is reported to be associated with oxidative stress. It can result in changes in the activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes and membrane-integrated transporters, which can modify the fate of drugs and other xenobiotics; furthermore, it can result in the formation of non-enzyme catalyzed oxidative metabolites. The present work aimed to investigate how experimental hyperglycemia affects the intestinal and biliary appearance of the oxidative and Phase II metabolites of ibuprofen in rats. In vivo studies were performed by luminal perfusion of 250 μM racemic ibuprofen solution in control and streptozotocin-treated (hyperglycemic) rats. Analysis of the collected intestinal perfusate and bile samples was performed by HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS. No oxidative metabolites could be detected in the perfusate samples. The biliary appearance of ibuprofen, 2-hydroxyibuprofen, ibuprofen glucuronide, hydroxylated ibuprofen glucuronide, and ibuprofen taurate was depressed in the hyperglycemic animals. However, no specific non-enzymatic (hydroxyl radical initiated) hydroxylation product could be detected. Instead, the depression of biliary excretion of ibuprofen and ibuprofen metabolites turned out to be the indicative marker of hyperglycemia. The observed changes impact the pharmacokinetics of drugs administered in hyperglycemic individuals.

Heat of Adsorption of Pure Sulfur Hexafluoride on Micro-Mesoporous Adsorbents

The isotherms and the isosteric heats of adsorption of pure SF₆ were measured on two microporous zeolites (NaX and Silicalite), one mesoporous alumina, and two activated carbons (BPL and PCB) at 305 K. The adsorption isotherms were Type I by Brunauer classification. The PCB carbon adsorbed SF₆ most strongly and the alumina adsorbed SF₆ most weakly. The adsorption of SF₆ on the other three materials were comparable in the low pressure region despite their drastic differences in the physicochemical properties. The heat of adsorption of SF₆ on the silicalite and the alumina remained practically constant over a large range of coverage. The heat of adsorption of SF₆ increased with increasing adsorbate loading on the NaX zeolite in the high coverage region. The heat of adsorption of SF₆ on the activated carbons decreased with increasing adsorbate loading before leveling off in the high coverage region.     

Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide on Activated Carbon

The adsorption of CO2 on a raw activated carbon A and three modified activated carbon samples B, C, and D at temperatures ranging from 303 to 333 K and the thermodynamics of adsorption have been investigated using a vacuum adsorption apparatus in order to obtain more information about the effect of CO2 on removal of organic sulfur-containing compounds in industrial gases. The active ingredients impregnated in the carbon samples show significant influence on the adsorption for CO2 and its volumes adsorbed on modified carbon samples B, C, and D are all larger than that on the raw carbon sample A. On the other hand, the physical parameters such as surface area, pore volume, and micropore volume of carbon samples show no influence on the adsorbed amount of CO2. The Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) equation was the best model for fitting the adsorption data on carbon samples A and B, while the Preundlich equation was the best fit for the adsorption on carbon samples C and D. The isosteric heats of adsorption on carbon samples A, B, C, and D derived from the adsorption isotherms using the Clapeyron equation decreased slightly increasing surface loading. The heat of adsorption lay between 10.5 and 28.4 kJ/mol, with the carbon sample D having the highest value at all surface coverages that were studied. The observed entropy change associated with the adsorption for the carbon samples A, B, and C (above the surface coverage of 7 ml/g) was lower than the theoretical value for mobile adsorption. However, it was higher than the theoretical value for mobile adsorption but lower than the theoretical value for localized adsorption for carbon sample D.

Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Powder-Activated Carbon Adsorbents for the Removal of Nitrofurazone from Aqueous Solution

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and powder-activated carbon (PAC) were used as adsorbents for adsorption of nitrofurazone, a veterinary medicine, from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterized using FTIR transform infrared spectroscopy, N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms, and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of initial pH, contact time, and temperature on adsorption capacity of the adsorbents were investigated. For MWCNT and PAC, the result showed that when the pH value was ranged from 2.0 to 10.0, the dosage of adsorbent was 0.02 g, and adsorptive time is 4 hours, the removal efficiencies for nitrofurazone were 96.8% and 94.7%, and the corresponding maximum capacities at 283 K were close to 50.8 mgg^?1 and 59.9 mgg^?1, respectively. For nitrofurazone, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental data. The Boyd model indicated the mechanism for adsorption processes was mainly external mass transfer, while the effect of particle internal diffusion was relatively weak. Liu model could best fit to the experimental data of isothermal adsorption. The data of adsorption thermodynamics showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous.
