Determination of complex formation constants by phase sensitive alternating current polarography: Cadmium-polymethacrylic acid and cadmium-polygalacturonic acid

The use of phase sensitive alternating current polarography (ACP) for the evaluation of complex formation constants of systems where electrodic adsorption is present has been proposed. The applicability of the technique implies the previous selection of the phase angle where contribution of capacitive current is minimized. This is made using Multivariate Curve Resolution by Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) in the analysis of ACP measurements at different phase angles. The method is checked by the study of the complexation of Cd by polymethacrylic (PMA) and polygalacturonic (PGA) acids, and the optimal phase angles have been ca. −10° for Cd-PMA and ca. −15° for Cd-PGA systems. The goodness of phase sensitive ACP has been demonstrated comparing the determined complex formation constants with those obtained by reverse pulse polarography, a technique that minimizes the electrode adsorption effects on the measured currents.     

Transients of the Open-Circuit Potential Observed during the Interaction of Formic Acid with Preliminarily Adsorbed Oxygen on a Platinized Platinum Electrode

Transients of the open-circuit potential, which are observed during the interaction of formic acid with preliminarily adsorbed oxygen (O_ads) on a Pt/Pt electrode in 0.5 M H₂SO₄, are measured. It is established, by means of the method of cathodic potentiodynamic pulses, that the slowest interaction of formic acid with O_ads occurs in the region of large coverages of the electrode surface by oxygen (θ_O ∼1–0.8). A presumption is put forward that the process rate in this region is defined by a direct reaction of O_ads with molecules of formic acid from the bulk solution. It is shown that the interaction of formic acid with O_ads in the region of intermediate coverages (θ_O ∼ 0.8–0.2) proceeds via a mechanism of “conjugated reactions.” Transients of the open-circuit potential for formic acid are compared to transients for carbon monoxide obtained in analogous conditions. The substantially shorter overall time of potential decay in the case of CO (at the same concentrations) is caused by a faster reaction of CO with adsorbed oxygen in the region of large θ_O. The difference is explained by assuming that the HCOOH adsorption as opposed to CO bears a dissociative character.__________Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 8, 2005, pp. 936–942.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Manzhos, Maksimov, Podlovchenko.

Refining adsorption parameters of n-butyl alcohol at the interface of mercury electrode with aqueous NaF and Na2SO4 solutions by correcting the adsorbate concentration

As an adjunct to the regression analysis of differential capacitance curves, which allows refining the adsorption parameters, a program, which takes into account possible errors in volume concentrations of organic substances, is developed. Using this procedure, the earlier data on the differential capacitance of a mercury electrode in aqueous solutions of normal butanol (1-BuOH) containing either 0.1 M NaF or 0.05 and 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ as the supporting electrolyte are analyzed. This allows obtaining the most accurate values of adsorption parameters for the systems mentioned above within the framework of the model of two parallel capacitors and the Frumkin isotherm. It is shown that, when a linear dependence of the intermolecular interaction parameter on the electrode potential is taken into account, the standard deviation of experimental capacitance values from those calculated using the mentioned model is 6.8–8.8%, which points to very high accuracy of this phenomenological model.     

Estimation of parameters characterizing the adsorption of sodium,potassium, and rubidium cryptates at the mercury electrode/solution interface

The adsorption of complexes formed by sodium, potassium, and rubidium cations with macrobicyclic ligand (kryptofix 222 with C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆ composition) is studied as a function of the ligand concentration on a stationary mercury drop in 0.1 M solutions of corresponding sulfates and chlorides by using the differential capacitance technique. Based on the model of two parallel capacitors supplemented by the Frumkin isotherm, the adsorption parameters of studied cryptates are estimated by using the regression analysis technique. Differential capacitance curves calculated with the parameters found are compared with experimental data. The comparison of the found adsorption parameters makes it possible to reveal the effects of the nature of included cations and specifically adsorbed supporting-electrolyte anions on the adsorption behavior of cryptates under study.__________Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 4, 2005, pp. 475–481.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Stenina, Sviridova.     

Effects of type of adsorption isotherms on parallel diffusion of sulfonated dyes into porous cellulose membrane

Transport phenomenon of three sulfonated azo dyes, C.I. Acid Red 88, C.I. Direct Yellow 12, and C.I. Direct Blue 15 into water-swollen cellulose membranes has been analyzed on the basis of parallel transport theory by surface and pore diffusion. Langmuir equation was applied into the mass balance equation to estimate dye concentration in the pores. The results were compared with the results obtained by applying Freundlich equation in our previous papers. The surface diffusivity (D _s) and the pore diffusivity (D _p) for the parallel diffusion model obtained by applying Langmuir equation agreed with those obtained by applying Freudlich equation. The theoretical concentration profiles for parallel diffusion calculated usingD _s andD _p coincided accurately with the experimental data when we applied either Langmuir or Freundlich equations.     

Formal Mathematical Analysis of the Existence of the Common Intersection Point in Relation to Determining the Parameters Describing Ion Adsorption at the Oxide/Electrolyte Interface: Comparison of the Triple and Four-Layer Models

For most oxide/electrolyte systems potentiometric titration curves measured for different ionic strengths have a Common Intersection Point (CIP) which corresponds to the Point of Zero Charge (PZC). However, there are systems where a CIP exists but the surface charge at this point does not equal zero (PZC CIP). In this paper theoretical analysis of the systems in which the PZC and CIP do not coincide is presented. It is based on the well-known 2-pK surface charging approach and Triple Layer Model (TLM) as well as the Four Layer Model (FLM) of the electric double layer. The appropriate mathematical criterion for CIP existence was applied with detailed derivations, both for TLM and FLM. Having determined in this manner the parameter values, one can draw proper conclusions about the features of oxide/electrolyte adsorption systems, in which PZC and CIP do not coincide. The values of adsorption parameters are found by fitting simultaneously the obtained theoretical expressions to both of the experimental titration isotherms, and to the individual isotherms of electrolyte cation adsorption measured using radiometric methods.

THERMODYNAMIC STUDY OF ADSORPTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY A WATER-COMPATIBLE HYPERCROSSLINKED POLYMERIC ADSORBENT

Equilibrium data for the adsorption of phenolic compounds, i.e., phenol, p-cresol, p-chlorophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions by a water-compatible hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent (NJ-8) within temperature range of 283-323 K were obtained and correlated with a Freundlich-type of isotherm equation, so that equilibrium constants KF and n were obtained. The capacities of equilibrium adsorption for all the four phenolic compounds on the NJ-8 from aqueous solutions are around 2 times as high as those of Amberlite XAD-4, which may be attributed to the unusual micropore structure and the partial polarity on the network. The values of the enthalpy (always negative) are indicative of an exothermic process, which manifests the adsorption of all the four phenolic compounds on the two polymeric adsorbents to be a process of physical adsorption. The negative values of free energy change show that the solute is more concentrated on the adsorbent than in the bulk solution. The absolute free energy values of adsorption for NJ-8 are always higher than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which indicates that phenolic compounds are preferentially adsorbed on NJ-8. The negative values of the adsorption entropy are consistent with the restricted mobilities of adsorbed molecules of phenolic compounds as compared with the molecules in solution. The adsorption entropy values of phenolic compounds for NJ-8 are lower than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which means the micropores of NJ-8 require more orderly arranged adsorbate.
