PURIFICATION OF L-METHIONINE AND N-ACETYL-D-METHIONINE FROM THE MIXTURE OF ENZYMATICALLY DEACYLATED N-ACETYL-DL-METHIONINE

1. INTRODUCTION Methionine, namely 2-amido-4-thiomethyl butyric acid with a structure of CH3SCH2CH2CHCOOH, is one of the essential amino acids and has two natural enantionmers, D and L-methionine. The mixture of L- and D-isomers can be used as analeptics or nutritive additives to maintain the equilibrium of amino acids of feed [1,2]. L-methionine can release active methyl and accelerate the synthesis of choline, which further speeds up the conversion of the lipid accumulated in liv…     

Determination of trace scandium by ion-exchanger phase spectrophotometry withp-nitrochlorophosphonazo

Ion-exchanger phase Spectrophotometry withp-nitrochlorophosphonazo (CPApN) has been developed for the determination of scandium. The linear range is 1–8 g of scandium in 50 ml of solution, using 0.8 g of resin, with an apparent molar absorptivity of 2.76 × 10⁵ 1 mol^–1 cm^–1. Aluminum and rare earth elements in reasonable amounts do not interfere. The method has been applied successfully to the determination of scandium in alloys, with relative standard deviations of 2–4%.     

A semicrystalline inorganic ion-exchanger for thin-layer chromatographic separation of phenolic compounds

Summary The thin-layer chromatographic behaviour of 28 phenolic compounds was studied on semicrystalline stannic tungstate layers using various solvent systems of which formic acid and n-butanol-formic acid were found to be the most useful for the separation of these compounds. Dimethyl sulphoxide was found to act as a self detector for a number of phenols. An interesting feature of the study of phenols using stannic tungstate is the novel separation of different isomeric compounds. A number of binary, ternary and quarternary separations of bioanalytical and immunophysiological importance have been achieved.

On the preparation of synthetic carbon adsorbents using the sulfonated ion exchange resin duolite C-20

Thermal analysis was used to study thermal behavior of the sulfonated ion exchange resin Duolite C20 in the hydrogen, sodium and calcium forms. The aim of this paper was to prepare spherical carbon adsorbents. SEM and AFM microscopic methods have been applied to describe their surface characteristics. It was stated that structural parameters of prepared active carbons depend on the kind of cation present in the resin. The use of calcium form of Duolite C20 as the initial polymer precursor allowed to obtain the active carbon with better yield and better developed pore structure compared with other forms of this ion exchanger.     

Chiral recognition by enantioselective liquid chromatography: Mechanisms and modern chiral stationary phases

An overview of the state-of-the-art in LC enantiomer separation is presented. This tutorial review is mainly focused on mechanisms of chiral recognition and enantiomer distinction of popular chiral selectors and corresponding chiral stationary phases including discussions of thermodynamics, additivity principle of binding increments, site-selective thermodynamics, extrathermodynamic approaches, methods employed for the investigation of dominating intermolecular interactions and complex structures such as spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), X-ray diffraction and computational methods. Modern chiral stationary phases are discussed with particular focus on those that are commercially available and broadly used. It is attempted to provide the reader with vivid images of molecular recognition mechanisms of selected chiral selector–selectand pairs on basis of solid-state X-ray crystal structures and simulated computer models, respectively. Such snapshot images illustrated in this communication unfortunately cannot account for the molecular dynamics of the real world, but are supposed to be helpful for the understanding. The exploding number of papers about applications of various chiral stationary phases in numerous fields of enantiomer separations is not covered systematically.     

Copper electrodeposition into ion-exchange materials

Electrodeposition of copper into spherical granules of ion-exchange materials KU-23 and KU-2 out of acid sulfate solutions is studied by a method of cyclic voltammetry. It is discovered that the discharge of copper ions in an ion-exchange matrix is characterized by a cathodic overvoltage that is higher than the overvoltage of the same process on a graphite substrate by 0.08 V, which is most probably connected with a limited mobility of ions localized at fixed groups [RSO ₃ ^? ]. The cyclic voltammogram exhibits an additional cathodic peak in the potential region corresponding to the reduction of single-charged copper ions that form as a result of their accumulation inside pores of the ion-exchange matrix during anodic dissolution of metal deposited previously. It is fixed microscopically that the process of deposition begins at the graphite substrate/ion-exchanger interface and passes into bulk upon the formation of an electron-conducting layer saturated with copper. Preliminary saturation of the ion-exchanger by copper deposited chemically facilitates uniform electrodeposition of copper over the entire volume of pores of the ion-exchange matrix.     

The electrochemically controlled sorption of d - metal cations by ion exchangers based on titanium phosphate

A study of the sorption of d-metal ions by titanium phosphate on a platinum electrode shows that the potential of the platinum electrode significantly influences the uptake of cations by the ion-exchanger. Cathodic polarization leads to a significant increase of the sorption whereas anodic polarization is accompanied by desorption. Therefore it is possible to perform cycles of sorption and desorption simply by switching the potential. The results obtained can be explained by the fact that the layer of titanium phosphate acts as a phase which extracts protons or hydroxide ions. The electrochemical generation of hydroxide ions at negative potentials can, especially at less acidic pH, lead to the formation of metal hydroxides in the ion-exchanger phase. This interference is less important at a lower solution pH. Received: 5 March 1997 / Accepted: 3 April 1998     

Synthesis and characterization of sol-gel zirconium phosphate with template surfactants by different methods

Long chain trimethylammonium salts can be successfully used as guest molecules to produce mesoporous layered materials when intercalated in sol-gel zirconium phosphate, an inorganic ion-exchanger. The obtained materials are very similar independently of the chain length and the synthesis method batch (B) or direct intercalation (DI). They show a good thermal stability, and a very high interlayer distance if compared with their precursor. By the thermal characterization it can be observed that the surfactant is lost in two or three steps depending on its position in the host. The layered structure with the expanded interlayer distance is maintained up to 300°C. From the IR spectra the different surfactant release models for (B) and (DI) are confirmed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
