Drug Solution

The adsorption of fexofenadine drug by activated charcoal powder impregnated with hydrogen peroxide (IAC) to improve its surface properties was investigated. The investigation also aimed to assess the effect of the repeated dose in increasing the amount of the drug adsorbed. The powder activated charcoal was impregnated with H2O2 3%. The effects of pH of the solution, concentration of the drug and time of the reaction parameters were investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The IAC was brought in contact with the drug solution in different pH (2, 4, 7 and 9), drug concentrations (30, 60, 90 and 120 µg ml-1) and time (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes). After each experiment, a repeated dose of IAC was introduced into the solution and the adsorption process was repeated. The results showed that the amounts of the drug adsorbed were decreased with increasing the pH and increased with increasing the concentration of solution and time of contact. The adsorption capacity was enhanced to about 70% after the addition of the repeated dose. The study showed a spectrum displacement toward the blue region (blue shift) for the drug supernatant in all experiment parameters, which was almost doubled when a repeated dose was added.

Disappearing ink was prepared using different concentrations of thymolphthalein, phenolphthalein and their mixture, applying to different types of handwriting surfaces such as cotton, polyester and polyamide. The effects of thymolphthalein, phenolphthalein and alkali concentrations (i.e. pH) on the fading time were studied. The handwriting stability increased when the concentration of thymolphthalein or phenolphthalein was increased. At a high concentration of alkali with phenolphthalein and its mixture with thymolphthalein, the handwriting stability decreased with polyester or polyamide handwriting surfaces and the stability increased in the case of cotton. When the faded handwriting surfaces were subject to the thermal effect in a thermostatically controlled oven at 100°C for 10 minutes by hanging them with suitable hooks, there was no change in the faded handwriting. When they were at 150°C for 20 minutes, the faded phenolphthalein ink, which contained 0.5ml of 1N NaOH, was visible and shown red on the polyester and polyamide handwriting surfaces, but there was no change on the faded cotton handwriting surface.

Effects Of Ph

The potential of activated charcoal in the purification of fungal glucoamylase was investigated. Various concentrations of activated charcoal (1–4% w/v) were used to concentrate crude glucoamylase from Rhizopus oligosporus at different temperature values (30–50°C). Effects of pH (3.0–6.0) and contact time (0–60 min) on enzyme purification were also monitored. Activated charcoal (3% w/v) gave a 16-fold purification in a single-step purification at 50°C for 20 min and pH 5.5. The result of SDS-PAGE analysis of purified glucoamylase showed two major protein bands with corresponding molecular weight of 36 kDa and 50 kDa. The method is inexpensive, rapid, and simple which could facilitate downstream processing of industrial enzyme.

We studied the effect of pH (7.1, 6.3, and 5.8) on the in vitro susceptibilities of 59 isolates of Bacteroides fragilis and 60 isolates of other B. fragilis group species to trovafloxacin, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, ampicillin-sulbactam, piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem, and meropenem. For each agent tested the geometric mean MIC was highest at pH 5.8, intermediate at pH 6.3, and lowest at pH 7.1. The magnitude of the pH effect varied greatly among different antibiotics. These data show that an acidic pH decreases the in vitro susceptibilities of the B. fragilis group to several antibiotics.

Tension Generation

Differences in pH sensitivity of tension generation between developing and adult cardiac myofilaments, which contain the same isoform of troponin C (TnC), have been proposed to be due to troponin I (TnI) isoform switching from the slow skeletal (ss) to cardiac (c) TnI isoforms (21). We investigated the effects of acidic pH on Ca(2+)-activation of force in chemically skinned preparations of adult rat trabeculae and single soleus fibers that also share the same TnC isoform. Compared with the soleus fibers, trabeculae demonstrated a greater suppression of tension and a rightward shift in pCa50 (-log half-maximally activating molar Ca2+ concentration) when pH was decreased from 7.0 to 6.2. The pH-induced shift in pCa50 in soleus fibers did not change with sarcomere length. Troponin subunit interactions were also investigated, using cardiac troponin C (cTnCIA) labeled with a fluorescent probe, 2-(4'-iodoacetamidoanilino)-naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid. Under acidic conditions, cTnCIA demonstrated a decrease in Ca(2+)-affinity. This decrease was amplified both in the binary complex cTnCIA-cTnI and in the complex cTnCIA-cTnI-cTnT-tropomyosin to the same extent. In contrast, substitution of ssTnI for cTnI in these complexes produced the same decrease in Ca2+ affinity in response to acidic pH as cTnCIA alone. These results support our hypothesis that differential effects of pH on tension generation and Ca2+ sensitivity between soleus fibers and trabeculae are due to the presence of different isoforms of TnI.

Nowadays, starch modification is carried out in order to change the native properties into the better ones, such as high stability, brightness, and better texture. The objectives of this study are to investigate the effect of pH on carboxyl content, swelling power, and water solubility of starch. This research was divided into two main stages, i.e. starch modification by ozone oxidation and analysis. The physicochemical properties of modified cassava starch were investigated under various reaction pH of 7-10 and the reaction time between 0-240 minutes. Reaction condition at pH 10 provided the higher value of carboxyl content and water solubility, but the lower of swelling power. This increase in solubility indicates that the modified oxidation starch readily dissolves in water, due to its small size granules and high amylose content. The significant changes of both parameters were achieved in the first 120 minutes of ozone reaction times. The graphic pattern of water solubility was in contrast with swelling power.

Effects Of Ph

The oxidation of naphthalene was investigated in a biomimetic catalytic system using KHSO 5 and iron(III) tetrakis(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin ( FeTPPS ) in order to elucidate the influence of solution forms, such as buffer pH and co-solvent types, on the reaction. 1,4-naphthoquinone was the main byproduct and the efficiency of oxidation, particularly 1,4-naphthoquinone formation, was influenced by pH and the type of co-solvent used. The most efficient conversion of 1,4-naphthoquinone was observed at an acidic pH (= 3). At higher pH , the formation of μ-oxo species ( OFe 2( TPPS )2) leads to a decrease of the percentage of naphthalene oxidized. In addition, the organic co-solvents (methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and acetonitrile) influenced the amounts of naphthalene conversion. The amounts of 1,4-naphthoquinone formed were related to the electron donating character of the organic co-solvents.

The effects of pH on the advanced treatment of mid-stage pulping effluent with potassium ferrate were studied. Firstly, the effect of pH on the stability of the potassium ferrate solution was studied, which indicated that potassium ferrate was more stable in alkaline conditions than in acidic and neutral conditions, and the most stability was achieved at pH of 9-10. Then the effect of pH on the mid-stage pulping effluent treatment with potassium ferrate showed that the oxidation increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of the pH. The best treatment efficiency was at pH=4, under which COD removal efficiency reached 40%. The flocculation experiment was conducted using Fe3+ produced by the oxidation reaction as flocculant and PAC as extra flocculant and PAM as coagulant aid. Effect of pH on the flocculation process was studied, which showed that the flocculation effect first increased and then decreased with pH increasing. When pH was 9, COD removal efficiency reached 60%. The final effluent of COD concentration was less than 60mg/L, which met the requirements from the national first-order discharge standard.
