Abstract Membrane techniques can be used to separate different compounds, i.e., toxic metal ions from waste waters. As any other method of separation, also this one, based on polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs), has certain limitations. One of them is the stability of membranes. In the present paper, the dependence of the physical and chemical properties on composition of PVC-based polymer inclusion membranes doped with phosphonium ionic liquids (CYPHOS IL 101, CYPHOS IL 104, CYPHOS IL 105 and CYPHOS IL 109) was studied. The thermal stability of investigated membranes was examined by thermogravimetry together with differential thermogravimetry analysis. Obtained results showed that studied PIMs are stable to the temperature of about 170 °C. The membrane morphology was examined by attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The visibility of all characteristic bands in the ATR-FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of individual components in the membranes: a polymer, a plasticizer and the carriers. It also suggested that there were no signs of the covalent bond formation between the polymer, the plasticizer and the carrier. Only van der Waals or hydrogen bonds could be present. Moreover, in the SEM images of the investigated PIMs a rough surface without pores was observed.

AbstractSolvent properties of ionic liquids with trihexyltetradecylphosphonium cation and bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinate anion (Cyphos IL-104) or chloride anion (Cyphos IL-101) were studied. IL-104 effectively extracted lactic acid (LA) with distribution coefficients above 40 at low acid concentrations. IL-104 extracted only undissociated acid (LAH) what supported the coordination mechanism of lactic acid extraction via H-bonding. In the extraction of lactic acid by phosphonium chloride (IL-101) an ion-exchange mechanism contributed remarkably to the extraction especially at basic pH where anionic form of this acid predominated. A high solubility of water in hydrophobic IL-104 up to 14.4 mass % was connected with the formation of reverse micelles. A dual mechanism of water extraction to phosphonium ionic liquids was identified, which consisted of water incorporation into reverse micelles and the inclusion of water into the hydrated complex of lactic acid with ionic liquid (IL). The extraction of lactic acid caused splitting of reverse micelles with liberation of water from the solvent. In the saturated solvent only hydration water remained in the complex of lactic acid with phosphonium ionic liquid, with the suggested structure (LAH)p(IL)(H2O)2, where the value of p ranged from 1 to 3.

Dicationic ionic liquids are an emerging group of Ionic Liquids (ILs) that are currently receiving much attention as green reaction media and catalysts. Because of a great number of possible combinations of cations and anions, the physical and chemical properties of dicationic ionic liquids are more tunable and broader than monocationic ILs. Therefore, their unique properties have made them the target of many applied and fundamental researches. Actually, dicationic ionic liquids are more effective and rather fascinating than traditional monocationic ILs. So, due to greater versatility and diversity, their applications in organic synthesis have been extensively grown. In this review, we have focused on the synthesis, characterization and applications of dicationic ionic liquids, especially, in organic synthesis.

Background: Ionic liquids (ILs) are a unique class of compounds consisting exclusively of cations and anions that possess distinctive properties such as low volatility, high thermal stability, miscibility with water and organic solvents, electrolytic conductivity and non-flammability. Ionic liquids have been defined as "design solvents", because it is possible to modify their physical and chemical properties by appropriately choosing cations and anions, in order to meet the specific characteristics based on their potential application. Introduction: Due of their tunable nature and properties, ILs are considered as the perfect candidates for numerous applications in analytical chemistry including sample preparation, stationary phases in liquid or gas chromatography, additives in capillary electrophoresis, or in mass spectrometry for spectral and electrochemical analysis. In the last years, the number of publications regarding ILs has rapidly increased, highlighting the broad applications of these compounds in various fields of analytical chemistry. Results: This review first described the main physico-chemical characteristics of ionic liquids, and subsequently reported the various applications in different subdisciplines of analytical chemistry, including the extraction procedure and separation techniques. Furthermore, in each paragraph the most recent applications of ionic liquids in the food, environmental, biological, etc. fields have been described. Conclusion: Overall, the topic discussed highlights the key role of ionic liquids in analytical chemistry, giving hints for their future applications in chemistry but also in biology and medicine.

Abstract The solubility of lignosulfonates (LSs) in water is strongly dependent on other ions present in the water phase. The differences in the solubility might strongly influence the measurements of the physical and chemical properties of the LS molecules. A reduced solubility of the LS might also affect its utility in many practical applications. The understanding of the interaction between LSs and various salts is important for both practical and theoretical reasons. Therefore, the effect of salt concentrations on the LS has been investigated for 41 different salts with 14 different cations and 16 different anions. The observations cannot be explained by the common ion effect or the screening effects. On the contrary, it was found that the stability of LS solutions follows the Hofmeister series, with the exception of those ions that will chemically interact with the LS molecule. Moreover, the positions of phosphate (HPO42-) and sulfate (SO42-) ions were reversed.

Core-shell materials, in which a layer or multilayer of inorganic or organic material surrounds an inorganic or organic particle core, have been investigated both as a means to improve the stability and surface chemistry of the core particle and as a way of accessing unique physical and chemical properties that are not possible from one material alone. As a result, the fabrication of core-shell particles is attracting a great deal of interest because of their unique properties and potential applicability in catalysis, semiconductors, drug delivery, enzyme immobilization, molecular recognition, chemical sensing, etc. As evidenced by the literature described and discussed in this review, a basic understanding of the mechanism and recent progress in production methods have enabled the fabrication of core-shell particles with unique and tailored properties for various applications in materials science.

Complex formation in systems containing manganese (II), natural pectin and/or pectin modified by organic pharmacophores (nicotine, salicylic, 5-aminosalicylic, anthranilic acids) was studied by spectral (UV-, IR-, NMR 13C spectroscopy), potentiometric and viscometric methods. Method isomolar series and the molar relationship defined by the molar composition and the range of stability of metal complexes: pectin + nicotinic acid > pectin + acid 5-aminosalicylic > pectin + anthranilic acid > pectin + salicylic acid > native pectin. It is shown that the stability constant of metal complexes is significantly influenced by the reaction temperature and the structure of the pharmacophore. The presence of an amino group in the structure of an aromatic molecule increases the stability of metal complexes by 1.5–2 orders of magnitude. The standard thermodynamic characteristics (∆Hº; ∆Gº; ∆Sº) are calculated, which indicate that the processes of complexation in all cases are enthalpy-entropy favorable (∆Hº<0, ∆Sº>0) and proceed spontaneously (∆Gº<0). The influence of the structure of the drug compound in the polymer ligand on a number of physical and chemical properties of metal complexes was revealed. The data of NMR 13C and IR-spectra allow us to conclude that not only carboxyl groups but also hydroxyl functions of polymer matrices participate in the coordination interaction of pectin and/or pharmacophore-containing pectin with manganese (II) cations.

Objective: One of the materials which can be formulated into probiotics drink is corn milk. It has nutrient contents such as vitamin A, B, C, minerals, and fibres. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the probiotic drink of corn milk which was formulated into an effervescent granule.Methods: The first step was carried out to make corn extract with the addition of Lactobacillus strain Shirota and incubated 24 h at 40 °C to gain corn milk. After that, corn milk was centrifuged to get filtrate and dried by oven 40 °C for 2 d to gain dry powder. Then corn milk powder was formulated into effervescent granule (3 formulas) using different ratio of acids. The method which used in making effervescent granule of corn milk was wet granulation. All formulas were done evaluations including physical and chemical properties of granule and hedonic test.Results: The results showed that formula 1 (only citric acid 23.84%) gave unsatisfactory results particularly on the evaluation tests such as LOD 9.64%, dissolution time 3.25 min, moisture content 10.67% and hedonic test which did not meet the requirements. Otherwise, formula 2 (only tartaric acid 23.84%) and formula 3 (citric acid 7.94% and tartaric acid 15.9% combination) showed satisfactory results for all evaluation tests of granules. Particularly formula 3 gave pH 5 on pH test which was the same as pH lactic acid for fermentation and LOD 4.34%, MC 4.53%, ρb 0.53 g/ml, ρt 0.62 g/ml and hedonic test around 80%.Conclusion: Formula 3 was the best formulation based on the evaluation and the stability of corn milk effervescent granule.

Dolomite post-floatation waste has been proposed as an alternative material for the construction of separation barriers. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the pH of leaching solutions on the stability of such barriers. The present research included the determination of selected physical and chemical properties of waste, i.e., density, grain composition, and filtration coefficient. Column tests of leaching by solutions of different pH values modeling varying environmental conditions were performed. Selected ions were determined in the eluates. Grain analyses were carried out for the column material after leaching to determine the changes in grain composition of dolomite due to washing with leaching solutions. The determined value of the filtration coefficient is 6.52 × 10−9 m∙s−1, which confirms the impermeability of the waste. The material is fine-grained, with a grain diameter of d ≤ 200 µm. During leaching, a decrease in the content of the analyzed ions and the diameter of grains and their movement down the barrier, resulting in its sealing, was observed. The central part of all columns showed more grains with a diameter of 7 μm, which is probably due to secondary precipitation of CaSO4. Irrespective of the initial pH of the leaching solution, the reaction of all eluates obtained was slightly alkaline (pH 7.52–8.20). Dolomite post-floatation waste has properties that ensure the tightness and durability of the separation barrier, which, combined with its ability to alkalize solutions and the sealing process, ensures its effectiveness.
