Borate ion exchange capacity of Purolite NRW600 strong base anion resin in hydroxide form and mixed bed NRW600+NRW100 ion exchange was investigated with static experiments. Anion exchange resin was saturated with 0.1–45 g/dm3 concentration boric acid solution in a static mixer at 20, 30, 40 and 50 °C at 150 rpm for 24 hours. Remaining borate content of saturation solutions was deter-mined with ion chromatography and ICP-OES. The amount of fixed borate as borate anions increased with the saturation borate concentration as well as in case of simple anion exchange as in case of mixed bed.Column sorption-elution study was carried out by using strong base anion exchange resins (Purolite NRW600 and Amberlite IRN78). Resins in hydroxide and in chloride forms were saturated in column with 5–40 g/dm3 boric acid solution in excess. The resin was then eluted with 200 cm3 salt free water with 5 cm3/min at 25 °C and then eluted by 1 mol/dm3 sodium-sulfate solution with 5 cm3/min. The effluent was collected and analyzed for borate content by titrimetric method. In chloride form the resin adsorbed and released much less borate. Effective borate and polyborate sorption needs hydroxide ions in resin phase.

We tested stability of 43 selective sorbents, covering the widest range of functional groups, efficiency of sorption, method of production, and which are theoretically useful for sorption of cesium, strontium, cobalt, arsenic and actinoids. We present 3 of them: A = TiO2, B = Al2O3 and C = MxH(TiO)4(SiO4)3 . z H2O. In first testing, sorbents were exposed to the model solution of boric acid for 168 hours, in which they were mixed in a closed container with a rotator. After the exposure, sorbent solutions were filtered and analysed by spectroscopic techniques (Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), Raman Spectroscopy (RS) and newly by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), combined with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)). Exposed spectra were compared with spectra of new, non-exposed sorbents. In second testing, sorbents were exposed to gamma radiation for 12 days with total dose 666 ± 43 kGy, produced by cobalt bomb and analysed by same techniques. The aim of our testing was to find out how sorbents behave in model boric acid solution and what effect has the gamma radiation on sorbent spectra and to analyse sorbents by SEM with EDX.

Abstract An automated fluorometric procedure is described for assaying calcium pantothenate in multivitamin preparations. Sample extracts containing calcium pantothenate are treated on-line with a slurry of magnesium trisilicate which removes any interfering riboflavin that may be present. The nitrate is resampled, mixed online with a slurry of Dowex 50W-X4 (H+) which removes any interfering β-alanine that may be present, and dialyzed. Dialysates are hydrolyzed in an alkaline medium and reacted with a mixture of o-phthalaldehyde and 2-mercaptoethanoI in boric acid solution. The fluorescence intensity due to the formation of a fluorogenic compound is measured at 455 nm after excitation at 350 nm. The procedure developed is capable of analyzing 20 samples/hr. Analytical data indicate that calcium pantothenate is assayed reliably both from real and synthetic multivitamin preparations. The mean recovery of calcium pantothenate added to sample solutions of tablet composites was 95.4%.

To clarify the developmental course of the immunological defense system in the middle ear, immunoglobulin-forming cells of different classes and secretory proteins, such as secretory component (SC) and lactoferrin (Lf), were investigated in the middle ear mucosa of 20 developing and 5 normal adult guinea pigs by use of direct immunofluorescence technique. Changes in the middle ear mucosa were also observed after antigenic challenges directly to the tympanic cavity of 6 developing and 39 adult guinea pigs. IgA- and IgM-forming cells began to appear in the tubal mucosa at the seventh postnatal day, while it was scarcely possible to find IgG1- and IgG2-forming cells in developing guinea pigs. Immunoglobulin-forming cells of all classes increased in the middle ear mucosa after the antigenic stimuli. The injection of antigens to the tympanic cavity of developing animals induced the most striking accumulation of immunoglobulin-forming cells in the middle ear mucosa. Results of this study showed that local synthesis of IgA, as well as other classes, is latent in the middle ear, that the middle ear of immature animals is vulnerable to antigenic stimuli, and that the middle ear of developing animals possesses potential immune responsiveness.
