Effect of environmental temperature and applied potential on water desalination performance using electrodialysis

Desalination of brackish water is a challenging task for higher recovery of water. In most of the cases, water recovery is low with high wastage. Electrodialysis (ED) provides a solution of water desalination with high recovery. Ion-exchange membranes are the main component for electrodialysis system. Here cation-exchange membrane and anion-exchange membrane were synthesized by free-radical polymerization for water desalination by ED. ATR-FTIR confirms the successful functionalization of the membranes and scanning electron microscopy technique reveals the dense morphology of the membranes. Here we used polyethylene as a binder and blow film extrusion for film formation, which is not only economically viable as well as large amount of membranes can be produced without using hazardous solvent. The desalination study reveals the improvement in desalination performance with slight increment in temperature which may be due to higher ionic mobility. The mechanical and thermal stability of the membranes was characterized to ensure the viability of membranes for desalination at higher temperatures. Effect of applied potential was also studied in the removal of pathogens during desalination and confirmed that 2 V/cell pair applied potential removes almost 97% pathogens during desalination in continuous mode.     

A re-examination of matrix effects in the segmented-flow analysis of nutrients in sea and estuarine water

Modern instruments together with the use of standard reference materials have improved the accuracy and long-term reproducibility of the analysis of nutrients (ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and silicate) in sea water using segmented-flow analysis, so that errors arising from matrix effects become more significant. Colorimetric detectors with bubble-through flowcells have become widely used for seawater analysis in recent years and their associated matrix effects are described. A re-examination of all categories of matrix effects, whose main origin is salinity, was thus undertaken to assess how much they are liable to alter the data. Interferences were classified into four types, each of which was examined in order to show its influence on the measurements. We discuss how matrix effects can be identified, quantified, reduced and corrected. Chemistry and instrument design play a major role in some matrix effects and recommendations are given to minimise these or make them easier to correct. In particular, the correction for chemical salt effects is revisited for the general case and new, simplified procedures are proposed for its computation. A semi-automated procedure is proposed for measuring and correcting sample and refractive index blanks.     

Halocarbons in Aqueous matrices from the Rennick Glacier and the Ross Sea (Antarctica)

Aqueous matrices from Antarctica were analysed for three volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons (VCHCs): tetrachloromethane (CCl₄), trichloroethylene (C₂HCl₃) and tetrachloroethylene (C₂Cl₄). The matrices analysed were snow from Rennick Nèvè and Rennick Glacier sampled during the Italian Expeditions of 1995/96 and 1996/97, respectively, and seawater, pack ice, sea-microlayer, subsuperficial water and freshwater, collected during the Italian Expedition of 1997/98. Extractions from the aqueous matrices were carried out in Antarctica (the laboratories of the Italian Base, Terra Nova Bay). Because of the critical space–time conditions in these laboratories, an extraction procedure was developed, suitable for large volumes of water (10?L), in order to combine the extraction of other classes of organic compounds (polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated pesticides) with those of our direct interest. The VCHC organic extracts were analysed in Italy by GC-ECD and GC-MS. The analyses confirmed the presence of the three halocarbons in Antarctica in quantities ranging from units to some dozens of nanograms per kilogram. The results were evaluated with respect to the local distribution of these compounds and their diffusion on a global scale.     

Distribution of major,minor and trace elements in Antarctic offshore and Coastal seawaters: correlation among sites and variables by pattern recognition

The composition of seawater in the Ross Sea (Antarctica) was investigated. The distribution of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni), minor and trace (B, Ba, Li, Sr, Si) and major (Na, K, Ca, Mg) elements in coastal and offshore sites was determined. The samples were collected during the XIII Campaign of the Italian “National Programme of Research in Antarctica”, PNRA, at different depths and different stages of the Antarctic summer. In the subsequent campaign the concentrations in the water top micro-layer, and just below it, were compared. Results are also given for the data treatment by pattern recognition.     

Indirect Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Tl(I) and Tl(III) in the Baltic Seawater Samples Enriched in Thallium Species

The sensitive method DPASV with HMDE in the presence of DTPA and acetic buffer was used for determination of Tl(I) and Tl(III) in spiked seawater sample. The proposed method was based on the appropriate chemical conservation of Tl speciation. To determine the total amount of Tl, an addition of ascorbic acid to sub‐sample was necessary, but to determine Tl(I) to the second sub‐sample addition of DTPA was needed. Various factors influencing the stability of Tl(III) and electrochemical parameters were investigated. The quantification limit of 1.8 ng mL⁻¹ Tl(I) was found for 8 min preconcentration. The procedure was validated using recovery study and HPLC ICP MS determinations.     

Evaluating the complexation behavior and regeneration of boron selective glucaminium-based ionic liquids when used as extraction solvents

Glucaminium-based ionic liquids are a new class of solvents capable of extracting boron-species from water with high efficiency. The complexation behavior of these ILs with borate was thoroughly studied using ¹¹B NMR. Two different complexes, namely, monochelate complex and bischelate complex, were observed. ¹¹B NMR was used extensively to determine the formation constants for monochelate and bischelate complexes. The IL concentration was observed to have a significant effect on the IL–borate complexes. Using an in situ dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (in situ DLLME) method, the extraction efficiency for boron species was increased dramatically when lithium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide (LiNTf₂) was used as the metathesis salt in an aqueous solution containing 0.1 M sodium chloride. IL regeneration after extraction was achieved using 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. The extraction efficiency of boron species was consistent when the IL was employed after three regeneration cycles. The selectivity of the IL for boron species in synthetic seawater samples was similar to performing the same extraction from Milli-Q water samples.     

Level of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Marine Environment of Algiers Bay,Algeria

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants with significant bioaccumulation in the global environment. Owing to their high toxicity and lipophilic property, PCBs are potential threat to the human and ecological system.

The objective of this work was to investigate the polychlorinated biphenyls in seawater and blue mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis collected in the eastern coastal side of the Algiers bay. Surface and bottom water samples were collected at six different periods from July to October 2002 in the port of Tamentfoust and four locations around the port. Mussel samples were collected from Tamentfoust port and Surcouf beach. After extraction, the PCBs levels were determined in marine water and biological samples by gas chromatography with electron capture detector. Total polychlorinated biphenyls concentrations varied from 4.0 to 18.8 ng · L^?1 in surface and from 4.4 to 16.6 ng · L^?1 in bottom seawater and were relatively high in August (30th and 45th days).

In mussels that concentrate the organochlorinated compounds in their tissues, the sum of ICES 7 PCBs concentrations was relatively high. It ranged from 64.2 to 185.8 ng · g^?1 dw (average 125.8 ng · g^?1 dw) in samples collected from Surcouf. The level of contamination in Tamentfoust port mussels was about twice higher (225.2 ng · g^?1 dw).

The observed PCBs distribution was close to that of common commercial mixture and suggests an industrial origin of this pollution emitted from a continental source in addition to the port activities. Although the use of target compounds has been banned for more than three decades, they are still persistent in Algiers Bay.     

Chip-On-Valve Concept: An Integrated Platform for Multisyringe Flow Injection Analysis: Application to Nitrite and Nitrate Determination in Seawater

A state-of-the-art flow lab-on-a-valve technique is reported incorporating integration of flow devices such as reaction and mixing serpentine coils and confluences into a monolith flow circuit mounted directly on an eight-port selection valve. The potential of the flow circuit manifold or chip-on-valve in combination with multisyringe flow injection analysis is demonstrated by the application to the successful determination of nitrite and nitrate in seawater. Characteristics and further potential of chip-on-valve are discussed. Due to preparation and fabrication by use of computer aided design, this chip design shows great potential for the automation of sophisticated flow networks in compact and robust flow circuits.     

Determination of trace inorganic anions in seawater samples by ion chromatography using silica columns modified with cetyltrimethylammonium ion

Conventional silica columns dynamically modified with cetyltrimethylammonium ions were evaluated for the determination of UV-absorbing bromide, nitrate, and nitrite in seawater samples. Cetyltrimethylammonium, which is a quaternary ammonium ion, was dynamically introduced onto silica surfaces. The first layer of the modifier was introduced by electrostatic interaction, whereas the second layer was introduced by hydrophobic interaction. The latter layer worked as the anion-exchange sites. The modified conventional silica columns could be used for separation of inorganic anions. Separation of authentic mixture of five anions was achieved within 17 min. The addition of 0.1 mM cetyltrimethylammonium ion to the eluent improved the repeatability of the retention time. Seawater samples could be directly injected onto the prepared conventional silica columns, and bromide, nitrate, and nitrite levels were determined to be 69, 0.13, and 0.016 ppm, respectively.
