聚酰胺-胺基两亲树枝状大分子与十二烷基硫酸钠混合体系的分子聚集行为

以浊度分析、动态激光光散射(DLS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)以及原子力显微镜(AFM)等方法研究了以1.0代(G1)聚酰胺-胺(PAMAM)为核心、以聚环氧丙烷-聚环氧乙烷(PPO-PEO)为辐射臂的树枝状大分子与十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)之间的相互作用.值得注意的是,当树枝状大分子溶液的浓度为1%(质量分数),SDS的浓度远低于临界胶束浓度(cmc)时,体系的浊度值开始明显升高,DLS、TEM以及AFM的研究结果显示出此时聚集体的尺寸逐渐增加,意味着SDS与树枝状大分子有着很强的分子间相互作用,形成了树枝状大分子与SDS构成的复合物.当SDS浓度增高至0.1mmol·L-1(约为cmc的1%)左右时,体系的浊度值随着SDS浓度的增加变化不大,DLS、TEM、AFM的实验结果显示,聚集体尺寸趋于稳定状态.当SDS的浓度继续升高至0.25和0.5mol·L-1时,体系中形成了SDS分子间的自聚集或者存在多个SDS分子与单个树枝状大分子的分子间聚集.     

Application of a high-performance liquid chromatography fluorescence detector as a nephelometric turbidity detector following Field-Flow Fractionation to analyse size distributions of environmental colloids

A new operation mode for HPLC-type fluorescence detectors is presented and evaluated using synthetic and environmental particles in the colloidal size range. By applying identical wavelengths for excitation and emission a nephelometric turbidity or single angle light scattering detector is created which can be easily coupled to flow or sedimentation Field-Flow Fractionation (Flow FFF or Sed FFF) for the analysis of colloidal dispersions. The results are compared with standard UV-vis detection methods. Signals obtained are given as a function of particle size and selected detection wavelength. Conclusions can be drawn which affect the current practice of FFF but also for other techniques as groundwater sampling and laboratory column experiments when turbidity is measured in nephelometric mode and in small sample volumes or at low flow rates.     

浊度滴定法

报道了一种实用的浊度传感器及浊度滴定仪，以及一种利用此仪器检测溶液的浑浊程度（溶液中散射光相对强度）来判断沉淀反应滴定终点的方法。将一束光线通入溶液，在溶液中与其垂直的方向上，利用内置浊度传感器检测散射光相对强度；随着滴定剂的加入，溶液将渐变得浑浊，散射光相对强度逐渐增强。如果沉淀反应完全且溶解度足够小，散射光相对强度将在化学计量点处达最大值，由此可判断滴定终点。以AgNO3溶液滴定NaCl溶液为例俊证了浊度滴定法，结果表明：浊度滴定法样化学指示剂法适用于更低的浓度；在适当的条件下浊度滴定法的精密度和准确度均可＜0.2%。     

An Eulerian–Eulerian model for gravity currents driven by inertial particles

In this work we introduce an Eulerian–Eulerian formulation for gravity currents driven by inertial particles. The model is based on the equilibrium Eulerian approach and on an asymptotic expansion of the two-phase flow equations. The final model consists of conservation equations for the continuum phase (carrier fluid), an algebraic equation for the disperse phase (particles) velocity that accounts for settling and inertial effects, and a transport equation for the disperse phase volume fraction. We present highly resolved two-dimensional (2D) simulations of the flow for a Reynolds number of Re=3450$\mathit{Re}=3450$ (this particular choice corresponds to a value of Grashof number of Gr=Re²/8=1.5×10⁶$\mathit{Gr}={\mathit{Re}}^2/8=1.5\times {10}^6$) in order to address the effect of particle inertia on flow features. The simulations capture physical aspects of two-phase flows, such as particle preferential concentration and particle migration down turbulence gradients (turbophoresis), which modify substantially the structure and dynamics of the flow. We observe the migration of particles from the core of Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices shed from the front of the current as well as their accumulation in the current head. This redistribution of particles in the current affects the propagation speed of the front, bottom shear stress distribution, deposition rate and sedimentation. This knowledge is helpful for the interpretation of the geologic record.     

Solubilization kinetics of phospholipid vesicles by sodium taurocholate

The solubilization kinetics of phospholipid vesicles, about 100 nm in diameter and composed of egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) and EPC/cholesterol in molar ratio 7/3, by sodium taurocholate (TC) used as a model bile salt were investigated by monitoring the turbidity at 500 nm and by quasielastic light scattering (QELS). The solubilization process was found to be dependent on the rate of TC addition. Although the solubilization profiles were identical whatever the rate of TC addition, an increase in the amount of TC needed to solubilize phosphatidylcholine liposomes was observed at higher rates. These results suggest that at low TC concentrations the permeability of the membrane to taurocholate is the rate-limiting step of the solubilization. In the case of cholesterol-containing vesicles, the effect of the rate of addition of TC was observed only at the solubilization characteristic points, called B and C, corresponding to a sharp decrease in the turbidity. This suggests that cholesterol greatly reduces the permeability of the membrane. In addition, the kinetic process was found to be independent of the micellar concentration of the detergent added to the aqueous medium, indicating that the solubilization of liposomes by TC was independent of the initial state of aggregation of the detergent. The calculated values of lipid/TC aggregates and of the partition coefficient show that the kinetic effect observed at high TC concentrations prior to complete solubilization might also be due to the diffusion of the detergent into the membranes. This gives rise to the differences in composition of the aggregates as a consequence of the variation in the rate of TC addition. In addition, QELS scattered intensity variations confirm the presence of a kinetic process for the solubilization of liposomes by TC. In conclusion, our results suggest that solubilization of lipid vesicles by TC is governed by kinetic parameters that might be controlled by liposome membrane permeability at low TC concentrations and by the lateral diffusion of the detergent into aggregates at higher TC concentrations.     

Frequency-selective absorbance detection: Refractive index and turbidity compensation with dual-wavelength measurement

A frequency-selective absorbance detection approach and its applications are described. First, a digital signal processor-lock-in amplifier (DSP-LIA)-based absorbance detector was evaluated. Compared to a simple operational amplifier (TL082CP)-based detector, the DSP-LIA-based detector showed lower noise levels, but the relative advantage was reduced under very low photocurrent levels (down to few nA). A 7 cm pathlength flow cell with this commercial LIA-based detector exhibited excellent Beer's law linearity (r² = 0.9999) and a noise level of 7 micro absorbance units (μAU). The limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) for methyl orange (MO) was 7 nM with this detector. Finally, as a more affordable alternative to an LIA, a balanced demodulator integrated circuit chip was used to fabricate a dual wavelength-frequency-selective LED-based absorbance detector. This device successfully compensated refractive index (RI) effect and turbidity effect in test flow systems. The LOD for MO with this system was 8 nM.
