The isotherms and kinetics of zinc adsorption from aqueous solution onto granular activated carbon (GAC) and natural zeolite were studied using an agitated batch adsorber. The maximum adsorption capacities of GAC and natural zeolite towards zinc(II) from Langmuir adsorption isotherms were determined using experimental adsorption equilibrium data. The homogeneous solid diffusion model (HSD-model) combined with external mass transfer resistance was applied to fit the experimental kinetic data. The kinetics simulation study was performed using a computer program based on the proposed mathematical model and developed using gPROMS. As the two-mass transfer resistance approach was applied, two model parameters were fitted during the simulation study. External mass transfer and solid phase diffusion coefficients were obtained to predict the kinetic curves for varying initial Zn(II) concentration at constant agitation speed and constant adsorbent mass. For any particular Zn(II) - adsorbent system, k f was constant, except for the lowest initial concentration, while D s was found to increase with increasing initial Zn(II) concentration.

Background Opioid-induced respiratory depression is antagonized effectively by the competitive opioid receptor antagonist naloxone. However, to fully understand the complex opioid agonist-antagonist interaction, the effects of various naloxone doses on morphine and morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G)-induced respiratory depression were studied in healthy volunteers. Methods Twenty-four subjects received 0.15 mg/kg morphine intravenously at t = 0 followed by placebo, 200 or 400 microg naloxone at t = 30 min. Thirty-two subjects received 0.3 mg/kg M6G intravenously at t = 0 followed by placebo, 25, 100, or 400 microg naloxone at t = 55 min. There were a total of 8 subjects per treatment group. Respiration was measured on a breath-to-breath basis at constant end-tidal Pco2. A mechanism-based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model consisting of a part describing biophase equilibration and a part describing receptor association-dissociation kinetics was used to analyze the data. Results Naloxone reversal of M6G-induced respiratory depression developed more slowly than reversal of the respiratory effect of morphine. A simulation study revealed that this was related to the slower receptor association-dissociation kinetics of M6G (koff M6G = 0.0327 +/- 0.00455 min versus morphine 0.138 +/- 0.0148 min; values are typical +/-SE). Duration of naloxone reversal was longer for M6G. This was related to the three- to fourfold greater potency of naloxone as an antagonist against M6G compared with morphine. Increasing the naloxone dose had no effect on the speed of reversal, but it did extend reversal duration. Conclusions Naloxone reversal of the opioid effect is dependent on the receptor association-dissociation kinetics of the opioid that needs reversal with respect to the rate of reversal. The pharmacodynamics of naloxone determines reversal magnitude and duration.
