Optimizing Cs-exchange in titanosilicate with the mineral pharmacosiderite topology: framework substitution of Nb and Ge

Titanosilicates with complete or partial substitution of Ge or Nb in the framework and having the mineral pharmacosiderite topology were hydrothermally prepared and their ion-exchange properties towards Cs were studied for Ti/Ge/Si, Ti/Si, Nb/Ti/Si and pure Ge phases. The basis for the differences in the ion exchange properties measured as distribution coefficients (K_d) for these materials are detailed via structural characterization using the Rietveld refinement technique on the X-ray powder diffraction data. The differences in affinity towards Cs⁺ result either from the degree of hydration of the exchanger resulting in different coordination environments or the position of cesium ion in the eight-ring channel.     

Electrode kinetics of Eu3+/Eu2+ reaction by cyclic voltammetry

The cyclic voltammetric behaviour of Eu³⁺/Eu²⁺ couple at hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) has been studied in chloride, bromide, iodide, thiocyanate and EDTA supporting electrolytes. The apparent rate constant and transfer coefficient for these systems have been calculated at various voltage scan rates, without using the data for standard or formal potential. The values have been compared with those obtained by earlier workers through other electrochemical methods.     

Stochastic simulation of reactive separations in capillary electrophoresis

A stochastic (Monte Carlo) simulation is used to investigate thermodynamic and kinetic contributions from the reversible A <--> B reaction in capillary electrophoresis (CE). The effects of equilibrium constant, rate constant, and electrophoretic mobility on the molecular zone profiles and the corresponding statistical moments are evaluated. As the reaction approaches steady state, the velocity of the zone is governed by the equilibrium constant and the electrophoretic mobilities of the reacting molecules. When the equilibrium constant is less than unity, the mean zone velocity is more similar to that of the reactant A. Conversely, when the equilibrium constant is greater than unity, the velocity is more similar to that of the product B. The extent of zone-broadening and asymmetry at steady state is dependent upon the equilibrium constant, the characteristic reaction lifetime, and the electrophoretic mobility difference between reacting molecules. If all other parameters are held constant, the plate height is greatest and skew is least when the equilibrium constant is unity. The plate height increases linearly with the characteristic reaction lifetime and electrophoretic mobility difference, whereas the skew is independent of these parameters. These conclusions have important implications for the elucidation of thermodynamic and kinetic information from experimental data.

Adsorption isotherms of a molecular imprinted polymer prepared in the presence of a polymerisable template: Indirect evidence of the formation of template clusters in the binding site

The current opinion about molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) is that their molecular recognition properties are due to the presence of nanocavities formed during a polymerization process developed in the presence of a template molecule. According to this principle, the shape of these nanocavities is complementary to that of the template and non-covalent interactions are established between the binding site and a single template molecule. Nevertheless, there are some experimental indications that the real molecular recognition mechanism involves clusters of template molecules being packed into the binding site. Recently, it has been proposed that template molecules covalently linked to the binding site can act as nucleation points, enhancing the formation of these molecular clusters.We have tested this hypothesis by studying the adsorption isotherms of polymers prepared by imprinting them with 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). Three different polymers were considered: P0, prepared without the template, P1, whose template was represented by 2,4,5-T molecules, and P2, whose template was 1/3 constituted by the polymerisable 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetoxy)-ethylmethacrylate (2,4,5-TEMA) and 2/3 by 2,4,5-T. The polymers were prepared by thermoinduced polymerization of template mixtures, 4-vinylpyridine and ethylene dimethacrylate. The crushed polymers were packed into HPLC columns and frontal chromatographic runs were performed by eluting the columns with a mobile phase containing variable amounts of 2,4,5-T.The experimental adsorption isotherms were fitted by using several isotherm models, and the Freundlich-Langmuir model was found to give the best fitting in terms of F-test. All the models considered showed a significant difference between the affinity constant values measured for the polymer P1 and P2, with a higher value for the polymer P2 (for Freundlich-Langmuir model: polymer P1, k=(2.00±0.43)×10⁴ M⁻¹; polymer P2, k=(1.93±0.0535)×10⁵ M⁻¹; ratio P2/P1, 9.65±2.09). Such experimental results support the hypothesis that a polymer prepared with a limited amount of template covalently attached to the binding site shows an increased affinity for the template itself.

Kinetics of the amorphous—anatase phase transformation in copper doped titanium oxide

Samples of TiO₂ doped with 2 and 5 mol% of Cu²⁺ were prepared by the sol-gel process. Titanium(IV) isopropoxide and copper(II) nitrate were used as precursors. The samples were prepared as monolithic shapes, dried at 80°C for 72 h and heat treated at various temperatures in the range 200–900°C for 2 h. The structural transformation and texture of the samples were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption. Significant changes were observed during the crystallization process; on the one hand, the crystallization profiles show that crystallization occurs uniformly and is practically insensitive to the dopant concentration, but when the transformation at a given temperature is followed as a function of time, the rate of the amorphous-anatase transformation is larger for the sample containing 2 mol% Cu²⁺. Electron spin resonance (ESR) results show that in this sample there is no segregation of Cu²⁺ ions. The sample containing 2 mol% of Cu²⁺ was selected for the kinetic studies and the temperatures selected were 300, 325, 350, 375 and 400°C, which were taken from the amorphous to anatase crystallization profile. An activation energy of 137 ± 4 kJ/mol for the crystallization process was estimated from the kinetic data. These results showed that the effect of the open structure present in the TiO₂ amorphous phase provides the atomic mobility required for the crystallization. On the other hand, the differences in the crystallization rate due to the amount of Cu²⁺ were explained by the segregation of copper ions to the surface of the samples.
