In this investigation the isotope effect of uranium in the system Dowex 50 resin/ α- hydroxyisobutyrate solution was studied by mass spectrometry. A recycle ion exchange column was used for the separation experiments. The dependence of the isotope effect on the pH value and on the concentration of the α-hydroxyisobutyrate solution used as eluent was investigated. In the case of a 0.07 ᴍ and a 0.22 ᴍ α-hydroxyisobutyrate solution the elementary separation factor of uranium was calculated to be 1.00019 and 1.00006, respectively. In both cases an enrichment of 235U in relation to 238U was found in the solution.In addition the distribution factor of the uranyl ions in the investigated system was determined in the pH range between 2 and 6. The distribution factor depends strongly on the pH value. With increasing pH values the distribution factor decreases.The results obtained for the elementary separation factor and the distribution factor are compared with other investigations.

Zinc Adsorption

The objective of this work was to assess the effects of pH and ionic strength upon zinc adsorption, in three highly weathered variable charge soils. Adsorption isotherms were elaborated from batch adsorption experiments, with increasing Zn concentrations (0-80 mg L-1), and adsorption envelopes were constructed through soil samples reactions with 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mol L-1 Ca(NO3)2 solutions containing 5 mg L-1 of Zn, with an increasing pH value from 3 to 8. Driving force of reaction was quantified by Gibbs free energy and separation factor. Isotherms were C-, H- and L-type and experimental results were fitted to nonlinear Langmuir model. Maximum adsorption ranged from 59-810 mg kg-1, and Zn affinity was greater in subsoil (0.13-0.81 L kg-1) than in the topsoil samples (0.01-0.34 L kg-1). Zinc adsorption was favorable and spontaneous, and showed sharply increase (20-90%) in the 4-6 pH range. No effect of ionic strength was observed at pH values below 5, because specific adsorption mechanisms predominated in the 3-5 pH range. Above pH 5, and in subsoil samples, Zn was adsorbed by electrostatic mechanisms, since ionic strength effect was observed. Despite depth and ionic strength effects, Zn adsorption depends mainly on the pH.

Thermoactinomyces Vulgaris

An α-amylase from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris has been purified about 100-fold. Its optimum pH was between 5.9 and 7.0, and the maximum rate was achieved at 60 °C. In the absence of substrate, the enzymes were more stable at pH 5.9 than at higher or lower pH values; inactivation was rapid at pH 7.0. Temperatures of 70 °C or greater also caused rapid denaturation of the enzyme in the absence of substrate. Three major peaks of amylase activity were detected when purified enzyme preparations were passed through Sephadex G-75 columns. At least two of these amylases were interconvertible. Four or five T. vulgaris proteinases also were separated, using ion exchange column chromatography.

UV Photosylis (254 nm) of 5-iodouracil in aqueous, oxygenated solution in presence of KI, FeSO4, KBr and K2SO4 was investigated over a pH-range of 1—6. Uracil, isodialuric acid, and isobarbituric acid were identified as photoproducts.At a constant pH-value (pH=1) at high KI-concentrations (10-1 mole/1) the main product is uracil. With decreasing KI-concentrations the yield of uracil decreases and isobarbituric acid appears as a photoproduct. On further decreasing KI-concentrations (< 10-2 mole/1) the yield of isobarbituric acid decreases and the formation of isodialuric acid commences.UV Photolysis of iodouracil at constant KI-concentrations (10—1 mole/1) and increasing pH (pH = 1—6) yields similar results with one exception. At higher pH-values on account of isodialuric acid at least four further compounds are formed. The yield of these products increases with increasing pH value. Addition of KBr and K2SO4 has no effect on the product distribution.The possible mechanisms for the formation of the reaction products are discussed.

The various molecular species of 12-tungstophosporic acid (WPA) in aqueous solutions of different pH values (from 1 to 11.5) were investigated by UV, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The dependence of the attained equilibrium composition in solution on time, concentration of WPA, and type of buffer used was studied. Obtained results indicate that the buffer type and pH value greatly determine the equilibrium composition in the solution. The Keggin structure of the WPA is sustained only up to pH 1.5. With further increase in pH, the decomposition of Keggin anion does not lead directly to the monovacant lacunary anion. Between 1.5 and 2.0, the structures with 2 phosphorus atoms from the Dawson series are dominant as intermediate species. In the pH range 3.5–7.5, WPA is present in the form of the monovacant lacunary Keggin anion. These results are of special importance for the biomedical and catalytic applications of heteropoly compounds (HPCs) and for an improved understanding of the mechanism of their functioning.Key words: heteropolyacids of the Keggin structure, hydrostability, UV, IR and NMR spectroscopy.

The sorption properties of modified hydrolysis lignin towards Cu[Formula: see text], Zn[Formula: see text], Ni[Formula: see text], Co[Formula: see text] ions in the pH range from 2 to 8 at temperature of 298.15 K solution are studied. The analysis of kinetic curves of ions sorption on modified lignin at pH 7 shows that sorption equilibrium in heterogenic system ion–metal–sorbent is attained in 30–60 min. Obtained results indicate good equilibrium kinetic properties of sorbent. Supposed that reaction between sorbate and functional group of sorbent are the second-order reaction and they interact between each other in ratio 1:1. The character of the obtained electrokinetic curve suggests that the zeta potential of modified lignin strongly depends on the pH. The dependencies of cations metals sorption coefficients on the pH value of water phase are S-shaped. Maximal extraction of studied cations is observed at pH values of equilibrium solutions close to neutral ones.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of the addition of electrolytes in a given ionic strength to various high-purity silica suspensions was investigated by measurement of the removal rates (RR's) in CMP processes on oxide layers under the same experimental conditions. As so-called slurries the following suspensions were used: i) silica sols produced by the Stöber process, ii) conventional silica sols based on alkali silicate as well as iii) suspensions of fumed silica, with the same SiO2 concentration in each suspension. Ionic strength of the added electrolyte was adjusted to e.g. 0.065 mol/l, with the electrolytes being HCl, NH4Cl, KOH, or binary mixtures of these substances.These investigations revealed significant differences of the polishing behaviour between the different types of silica dispersions as slurries. While for the Stöber sols investigated, the RR's are highest in the acidic range and almost negligible in the alkaline pH range, fumed silica suspensions show an entirely different behaviour: RR is very low for acidic pH-values, and increases with the alkalinity of the slurry. In contrast to these observations, the RR's of slurries based on conventional silica sols are highest around the neutral point, and show a decrease for both more alkaline and acidic pH-values. In comparison to the other two types of material, these suspensions have a high amount of electrolyte background, originating from their manufacturing process.A model is developed to explain these results in a comprehensive manner. It involves effects of the electrolyte type and the ionic strengths as well as influences of the particle size.

Abstract 1. The pH values of heparinized plasma from ten normal rabbits were from 7.53 to 7.80. The average pH and standard error was 7.69 ± 0.03. These plasmas did not show platelet-clumping activity when exposed to the platelet-saline suspension from the same or other normal rabbits. The platelet-clumping substance was not observed in all ten cases after alkalinization of the plasma to pH values ranging from 8.32 to 9.40. On the contrary, immediately after acidification of the plasmas, the platelet-clumping substance appeared at pH values from 4.90 to 6.82 at room temperature. The range of the lower pH value, in which the platelet-clumping substance was observed, was 4.90-5.60 (5.15 ± 0.07 in average) and the upper range was 5.95-6.82 (6.27 ± 0.12 in average). The pH range at which the strongest clumping of platelets appeared was 5.22-5.95 (5.61 ± 0.07 in average). The platelet-clumping substance did not disappear after the pH of the acidified plasma was reneutralized to the original value. 2. No clumping was found after the addition of citrated, oxalated, EDTA-plasma or serum even when they were acidified. After the pH value of the citrated, oxalated or EDTA-plasma was changed from 4.85 ± 0.39 to 7.55 ± 0.03 and in the presence of calcium ions (10 mM.), platelet-clumping activity was observed. After the addition of citrate (0.38 percent in final concentration), oxalate (0.2 percent in final concentration), or EDTA (0.1 percent in final concentration) to the heparinized plasma the platelet-clumping substance did not disappear. In the case of serum, the platelet-clumping activity did not appear after the pH changes. 3. The platelet-clumping substance in the acidified plasma was heat-labile; it was detected after BaSO4-adsorption and defibrination; it was stable in storage at 4 C., and it was not dialyzable against Ringer’s solution for 72 hours. It induced platelet clumping not only in citrated platelet-rich plasma but also in the platelet-saline suspension. 4. The properties of the platelet-clumping substance in the acidified plasma were compared with that of substances known to have platelet-clumping activity and the experimental evidences showing the differences to ADP, thrombin, ADP-cofactor and thrombocyte agglutinating factors have been detailed.

The physicochemical properties, especially pH value of dental medicines, have significant influence on the health of oral cavity tissues. The pH of formulations should correspond to the value of saliva pH (5.5–8.0). For carbomer-based gels, the required pH value is obtained by neutralizing them with alkaline components, which leads to their structuring (thickening). This affects the physical properties of the gel, its residence time at the application site and the rate of release of active pharmaceutical ingredient. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to evaluate the rheological, textural, and biopharmaceutical properties of Carbomer Polacril® 40P-based dental gel depending on the pH value. Evaluation of the rheological properties of gel preparations were performed by measuring the structural viscosity of the samples as a function of pH and temperature. The textural properties of the gel were evaluated by performing tests regarding back extrusion and spreadability. Carbomer Polacril® 40P-based gels haven’t shown noticeable thixotropic behavior, and were characterized by plastic flow in the whole studied pH range. The structural viscosity at the selected average pH value hasn’t differed at storage (25 °C) and application (37 °C) temperature. Texture studies of dental gels have shown a strong correlation with rheoparameters. Their rheological behavior and textural properties haven’t changed significantly between the pH range of 5.5–6.6. The relatively narrow range of working pH values does not affect the change in the viscosity of the preparation significantly and, consequently, does not affect the release of APIs from the developed Carbomer Polacril® 40P-based dental gel.

Abstract A novel polyelectrolyte complex between chitosan and copolymers of 2- acryloylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and acrylic acid (AA) has been prepared. The formation of the complex has been studied viscometrically, gravimetrically and turbidimetrically in the pH range from 1.2 to 5.8. The stoichiometry and the yield of the complex depend on the copolymer composition and on the pH value of the medium. In the case of copolymers with low content of AMPS units the complexes are enriched in copolymer when formed in the pH range from 1.2 to 4.8. In this pH region mainly AMPS units take part in complex formation. A stoichiometric complex forms only at higher pH values due to the increased number of complexable carboxylate ions of AA units. The stoichiometry of the complexes prepared from copolymers with higher content of AMPS units is close to equimolar and is less sensitive to pH. The obtained complexes are stable up to pH 8. It has been shown that chitosan once included in the complexes remains degradable under the action of a crude enzyme complex produced by the soil fungus Trichoderma viride. The rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis decreases in the order chitosan/PAA > chitosan/P(AMPS-co-AA) > chitosan/PAMPS. Tests on the proliferation of T. viride embedded in chitosan beads have shown that coating the beads with chitosan/P(AMPS-co-AA) complex does not hamper the development of the microorganisms.

The separation of molybdenum and iron is one of key issues of the hydrometallurgical preparation of pure molybdenum chemical products. The thermodynamic equilibrium diagrams for distribution of species at different pH values and different concentrations of molybdenum, iron and sulfur with the systems of Mo(VI)-H2O, Fe(III)-S(VI)-H2O and Mo(VI)-Fe(III)-S(VI)-H2O at 298 K were established, separately. Thermodynamic analysis results revealed that both molybdenum and iron were transformed from their anions to cations with the decrease in pH values. The pHMf0.5 for the conversion of molybdenum anions to cations decreased from 0.92 to 0.20 with the increase in the molybdenum concentration from 0.05 mol/L to 1 mol/L (pHMf50 is defined as the pH value when target metal anions occupy 50% mole fraction of total). The total sulfur concentration has significant effect on the conversion of iron (III) species with the pH change. The separation of molybdenum (VI) and iron (III) from acidic solutions using a tertiary amine extractant N235 could be achieved by decreasing the total sulfur concentration and controlling the equilibrium pH in an optimum range. The verification test results showed that the operating window for the separation of Mo(VI) and Fe(III) from a solution containing 0.01 mol/L [Mo]T, 0.05 mol/L [Fe]T and 1.15 mol/L [S]T was in the pH range of 0.5–1.0, which was consistent with the thermodynamic analysis.
