The microstructure of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) beads for affinity chromatography bioseparations was studied by TEM of stained ultramicrotomed thin-sections. Microstructural aspects such as overall pore size distribution, the distribution of pores within the beads, and surface coverage of functionalized beads affect performance properties. Stereological methods are used to quantify the internal structure of these chromatographic supports. Details of the process for making the PAN beads are given elsewhere. TEM specimens were obtained by vacuum impregnation with a low-viscosity epoxy and sectioning with a diamond knife. The beads can be observed unstained. However, different surface functionalities can be made evident by selective staining. Amide surface coverage was studied by staining in vapor of a 0.5.% RuO4 aqueous solution for 1 h. RuO4 does not stain PAN but stains, amongst many others, polymers containing an amide moiety.

Methylene blue (MB) was used as model molecule to investigate the effects of surface properties and solvent pH values on the adsorption and desorption (or release) behaviors of mesoporous SBA-15 materials. It was found that the treatment of SBA-15 with a pH 7.8 aqueous solution can enhance the adsorption rate and capacity in comparison with the pristine SBA-15. The effect of pH values on MB releasing from the weak base treated SBA-15 and the pristine one have been studied and been compared in pH values range from 0.5 to 7.0. Both of them showed a maximum releasing rate at about pH 2 and all of the treated SBA-15 samples showed a higher releasing quantity than the pristine ones. The influence mechanisms of base treatment on the adsorption ability and that of pH values on the releasing properties of SBA-15 samples have been analyzed and been discussed based on the composition, the morphology, the surface area and pore size distribution and adsorption/desorption measurements.

ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated that thermal and vibrational investigations of sodium nitrate (NaNO3) physically confined in the porous silica hosts is an effective approach to mimic the solute clustering effects in aqueous solution. The results show that the structure of the NaNO3 confined in nanopores can be divided into three regions, i.e., the regular solid phase region, solution-like molecular aggregates region, and a new solid-like phase region. Depending upon the pore size of the porous host, the physical range of the three regions varies accordingly. For pore size d <2.5 nm, only the solution-like molecular aggregates phase remains.

The preparation of MgCl2/AC composite and its adsorption behavior of azo dye from aqueous solution were investigated. The pore size of the new kinds of adsorbent increased with increasing the dosage of MgCl2 solution, while specific surface area decreased. The removal rate of Weak Acid Red 2R from aqueous solution on the MgCl2/AC composite was 93.4 % at the optimum conditions of the preparation: activated carbon with 2 M MgCl2 solution at 110°C for 2 h.
