Development of ionophore-based nanosphere emulsion incorporating ion-exchanger for complexometric titration of thiocyanate anion

Zinc sulfate is the main component in the composition of the acidic zinc plating electrolyte. Deviation in the electrolyte composition from the optimum content leads to destabilization of the electrolysis process and deteriorate the quality of the resulting zinc coating. The proper quality of a zinc coating obtained by galvanic deposition can be ensured only with timely monitoring and adjustment of the electrolyte composition. A technique of X-ray fluorescence determination of zinc (in terms of zinc sulfate) in an acidic zinc plating electrolyte is proposed. The study was carried out using an ARL Quant’X energy dispersive spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) with a semiconductor silicon-lithium detector. The features of the spectrometer design are presented. The optimal parameters of excitation and detection of zinc radiation were specified when the electrolyte sample was diluted 1:1000. The ZnKα1 line was used as an analytical line. The plotted calibration graph is linear, the correlation coefficient being 0.999234. The results of zinc determination according to the developed method were compared with the data of the reference method of complexometric titration to prove the reliability of the procedure. The results are characterized by good convergence and accuracy. The proposed method of X-ray fluorescence zinc determination in a zinc plating electrolyte equals complexometric titration in the limiting capabilities and even exceeds the latter in terms of the simplicity of sample preparation and rapidity. The developed method of X-ray fluorescence determination of zinc is implemented in analysis of the electrolyte used in the continuous galvanizing unit at «METSERVIS LLC».

In this study the use of zeolites as ion-exchangers for equalization of ammonia peak loadings in aerated biological activated filters was investigated. For this use zeolites were mixed with a filter medium and the nitrifying filter was loaded with ammonia peaks for two hours at different flow rates. It could be demonstrated that during the phase of higher inflow concentrations the zeolite was collecting ammonia. When the influent concentration decreased ammonia was desorbed from the zeolite and could be nitrified by the bacteria growing on the filter medium. It was shown that additional zeolites can equalize variations of ammonia, especially in filter units which are working at a high nitrification rate and which are very sensitive to varying influent conditions. During the operation time of the filter no separation of the zeolite by higher hydraulic loading or by backwashing could be recognized. So the upgrading of nitrifying filters with zeolite represents an additional security for effluents containing oscillating ammonia concentrations.

The properties of Ostsorb DETA, a selective ion exchanger based on modified bead cellulose with chemically bonded diethylenetriamine functional groups, were studied, and its applicability to the preconcentration of trace amounts of lead from aqueous solutions was verified. The conditions of the preconcentration procedure in the column and batch modes were optimized for this purpose. The results obtained were applied to the determination of lead in phosphoric acid.
