The enantiomers of some amino acids have been separated on commercial chiral TLC plates in reversed-phase mode. The effect
of the pH* of the aqueous-organic mobile phase on the retention and mobility of the enantiomers and on selectivity was investigated.
It was shown that for most of the amino acids investigated the highest enantioselectivity was obtained at pH* 3–4 or 6–7.
The drift and disturbance of the baseline on the chromatograms were also much smaller at pH* 3–4 and 6–7. 相似文献
Published thermodynamic data measured in aqueous mixtures of sodium or potassium dihydrogen phosphate with hydrogen phosphate
and chloride at 25°C were used to test recently developed methods for calculation of the pH of phosphate buffer solutions.
Equations for ionic activity coefficients are used in these methods. It is shown that all data used in the tests up to an
ionic strength of about 0.5 mol-kg-1 can be accurately predicted by the two methods recommended. In one of these methods, equations of the Hückel type are used
for ionic activity coefficients and in the other equations of the Pitzer type. Several sets of phosphate buffer solutions
are recommended,e.g., for calibrations of glass electrode cells. In the recommended sets, the pH of the buffer solutions can be calculated either
by the Hückel or Pitzer method, and the pH predictions of these methods agree in most cases within 0.005 at least up to ionic
strengths of about 0.2 mol-kg-1. The pH values of the two primary pH standards endorsed by IUPAC based on aqueous mixtures of KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4,i.e., pH values of 6.865 and 7.413, can also be accurately predicted by the equations recommended in this study. 相似文献

A fluorescence ratiometric sensor for pH determination is described in this paper. The sensor incorporated the pH-sensitive
dye meso-5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-allyloxyphenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) as an indicator and a pH-insensitive dye N-(2-methacryloxyethyl)benzo[k,l]thioxanthene-3,4-dicarboximide (MBTD), a benzothioxanthene derivative, as a reference for fluorescence ratiometric measurement.
To prevent leakage of the dyes, both were photocopolymerized with acrylamide, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and triethylene glycol
dimethacrylate on the silanized glass surface. The reproducibility and response time of the prepared sensor were sufficient.
Most common coexisting inorganic ions and organic compounds did not interfere with pH sensing. In the acidic pH range from
1.5 to 5.0 the fluorescence intensity ratio of the two dyes varied linearly as a function of pH. The sensing membrane was
found to have a lifetime of at least one month. The sensor was applied to the analysis of waste water and artificial samples. 相似文献
The structure and properties of the blend of regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were investigated.
The two polymers in the blend are in the state of phase segregation. Infrared (IR) spectra indicate that the RSF in the blend
maintains its intrinsic properties, thus, ethanol treatment can transfer silk I structure of RSF to silk II structure. The
water absorption property and mechanical property of the blend are improved in comparison with those of RSF. The blend maintains
the major merit of RSF, that is, it can immobilize glucose oxidase on the basis of the conformational transition from silk
I structure to silk II structure. The properties of the immobilized enzyme are examined. Moreover, the second generation of
glucose sensor based on the immobilized enzyme is fabricated and it has a variety of advantages including easy maintenance
of enzyme, simplicity of construction, fast response time and high stability. 相似文献
The new chelate resins, abbreviated as PNBMZs and PBBMZs based on epoxide polymer, were synthesized by polycondensation of N,N-diglycidyl-4-glycidyloxyaniline or 1,4-bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)benzene with the primary amine group of 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2yl)propylamine (BBPAH). The ion exchangers contain 2.71-3.23 mmol of the ligand contents per gram of the resin. Batch extraction capacities were determined for the metal chloride salts in buffer solutions in the pH range from -1 to 6.0. The chelate resins were very selective for Cu^2+, Zn^2+, Cd^2+ in the presence of other divalent transition metal ions. The maximum uptake capacities of PNBMZ (synthetic molar ratio = 1:1.5) under non-competitive condition were found to be 0.94 mmol/g for Cu^2+ at pH = 2, 1.3 mmol/g for Cd^2+ at pH = 1 and 1.75 mmol/g for Zn^2+ at pH = -1 respectively. While in the case of PBBMZ, it was 1.39 mmol/g for Cd〉 at pH = 1. The metal-uptake behaviors for both of them showed strong pH dependence, and their extraction capacities increase with decreasing pH. The uptake of Cu^2+ by the resin PNBMZs at pH = 1 was found to be rather fast with t1/2 = 18 min. Metal-uptake experiments under competitive conditions also confirm that the chelate resins have a high selectivity for Cu^2+, Zn^2+, Cd^2+ and the contrary pH dependence. 相似文献
The study of tin oxide is motivated by its applications as a solid state gas sensor material, oxidation catalyst, and transparent conductor. This review describes the physical and chemical properties that make tin oxide a suitable material for these purposes. The emphasis is on surface science studies of single crystal surfaces, but selected studies on powder and polycrystalline films are also incorporated in order to provide connecting points between surface science studies with the broader field of materials science of tin oxide. The key for understanding many aspects of SnO2 surface properties is the dual valency of Sn. The dual valency facilitates a reversible transformation of the surface composition from stoichiometric surfaces with Sn4+ surface cations into a reduced surface with Sn2+ surface cations depending on the oxygen chemical potential of the system. Reduction of the surface modifies the surface electronic structure by formation of Sn 5s derived surface states that lie deep within the band gap and also cause a lowering of the work function. The gas sensing mechanism appears, however, only to be indirectly influenced by the surface composition of SnO2. Critical for triggering a gas response are not the lattice oxygen concentration but chemisorbed (or ionosorbed) oxygen and other molecules with a net electric charge. Band bending induced by charged molecules cause the increase or decrease in surface conductivity responsible for the gas response signal. In most applications tin oxide is modified by additives to either increase the charge carrier concentration by donor atoms, or to increase the gas sensitivity or the catalytic activity by metal additives. Some of the basic concepts by which additives modify the gas sensing and catalytic properties of SnO2 are discussed and the few surface science studies of doped SnO2 are reviewed. Epitaxial SnO2 films may facilitate the surface science studies of doped films in the future. To this end film growth on titania, alumina, and Pt(1 1 1) is reviewed. Thin films on alumina also make promising test systems for probing gas sensing behavior. Molecular adsorption and reaction studies on SnO2 surfaces have been hampered by the challenges of preparing well-characterized surfaces. Nevertheless some experimental and theoretical studies have been performed and are reviewed. Of particular interest in these studies was the influence of the surface composition on its chemical properties. Finally, the variety of recently synthesized tin oxide nanoscopic materials is summarized. 相似文献
A novel approach is proposed for the simultaneous optimization of mobile phase pH and gradient steepness in RP‐HPLC using artificial neural networks. By presetting the initial and final concentration of the organic solvent, a limited number of experiments with different gradient time and pH value of mobile phase are arranged in the two‐dimensional space of mobile phase parameters. The retention behavior of each solute is modeled using an individual artificial neural network. An “early stopping” strategy is adopted to ensure the predicting capability of neural networks. The trained neural networks can be used to predict the retention time of solutes under arbitrary mobile phase conditions in the optimization region. Finally, the optimal separation conditions can be found according to a global resolution function. The effectiveness of this method is validated by optimization of separation conditions for amino acids derivatised by a new fluorescent reagent. 相似文献
Total imernal reflection fluorescence spectroscopy (TIRF) and synchronous scanning technique were combined to study the adsorption behavior of the meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) at the glass-water interface without any surfactant. The pH dependence of synchronous fluorescence signal at the interface was analyzed. Both unprotonated (TPPS^4-) and diprotonated (H2TPPS^2-) forms of TPPS were observed at the interface. But the interface favored the adsorption of. The apparent estimated pKa2 value shifted from 5.00 in the bulk solution to 2.7 at the interface. STIRF provides a good technique to study multi-component systems at the interface. 相似文献
The effects of catalysts, pH and reaction conditions on the course of the hydrolysis and condensation of ETS40 (ethyl silicate 40), and on the composition of the reaction products were studied with the aid of gas and gel chromatography, potentiometry and gelation tests. Strong acids (HCl, HClO4, HNO3, H2SO4, p-toluenesulphonic acid), weak acids (Cl3, CCOOH, ClCH2COOH, (COOH)2, CH3COOH and HCOOH) and bases (LiOH, NH4,OH) were used as catalysts.
The hydrolysis rate increased with increasing temperature, catalyst concentration, initial water concentration and initial ethyl silicate concentration, whereas it decreased with increasing number of Si atoms in the ethyl silicate molecules. At pH 0–7 the hydrolysis was acid catalysed, but at pH above 7.0 it was base catalysed. Simultaneously with the hydrolysis, condensation occurred at a rate which increased with increasing temperature, catalyst concentration, ETS40 concentration and, above all, with increasing initial water concentration. The condensation rate depended on the pH. The condensation was at its slowest for pH around 2.0. For pH below 2.0, the condensation increased with increasing hydrogen ion concentration; for pH above 2.0 the condensation increased with decreasing hydrogen ion concentration. Phosphoric acid and hydrofluoric acid increased the rate of condensation considerably. The reaction of ETS40 with water at pH around 2.0 gave rise during the hydrolysis to solutions of ethoxyhydroxysiloxanes with an average of 14–20 Si atoms in a molecule, which displayed long-term stability. 相似文献
