Relative importance of charge neutralization and precipitation on coagulation of Kaolin with PACI: effect of sulfate ion.

The effect of the sulfate ion on coagulation with polyaluminum chloride (PACl) was investigated by using an optical monitoring technique together with the conventional jar test procedure and electrophoretic mobility (EM) measurements. The effect of the SO4(2-)/Al ratio, dosage, and pH were examined in detail. The experimental results show that sulfate has a significantly different effect on PACl coagulation as a result of preformed hydrolysis products, where charge neutralization and precipitation play different parts in the coagulation process. The increased rate of coagulation with increasing SO4(2-)/Al ratio can be partially explained by charge neutralization effects, through increased adsorption and complexation of sulfate, thus giving increased particle collision efficiency. Different PACl samples were prepared with different values of B ([OH]/[Al]). For B = 0 (i.e., AlCl3) with mainly monomers, hydroxide precipitation tends to be accelerated in the presence of sulfate, giving significant turbidity removal. The high charge neutralization ability remains for samples with B = 1.5 and 2.0, with large proportions of preformed oligomers and polymers. Sulfate promotes aggregation of hydrolyzed species for B= 2.5, causing significantly improved coagulation efficiency through an electrostatic patch effect. The results illustrate further that particle charge plays a less important role in coagulation after reaching a certain value, while precipitate formation improves coagulation significantly.

A study of the distribution of lead, cadmium and copper between water and kaolin, bentonite and a river sediment.

Experiments were carried out to monitor the equilibrium distribution of lead, cadmium and copper between an aqueous phase modelling natural water and a solid phase modelling natural sediment, under varying conditions. The aqueous phase was analysed using ETAAS and differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV), whereas XRD and FTIR were used to study the solid phase. Sorption isotherms at constant pH were measured. Conditional distribution constants were calculated as functions of the pH, the time of equilibration and the amount of solid material. The results obtained stress the need for standardization of the approaches to the study of water-sediment interactions in order to be able to evaluate and compare the extensive data from field measurements and to predict these interactions.

The effect of epsilon-aminocaproic acid on HemoSTATUS and kaolin-activated clotting time measurements.

UNLABELLED: New point-of-care assays have been used to identify patients with heparin resistance (i.e. heparin dose response test; Medtronic Blood Management, Parker, CO) and who have platelet dysfunction (i.e. HemoSTATUS; Medtronic Blood Management). We examined the effect of epsilon-aminocaproic acid on results from these two point-of-care tests in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Twenty patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgical procedures were enrolled in this prospective study. HemoSTATUS clot ratio (% maximal) values in Channels (Ch) 3-6 (Ch 3: 26 +/- 25, Ch 4: 66 +/- 23, Ch 5: 84 +/- 20, Ch 6: 106 +/- 18) obtained after the IV administration of epsilon-aminocaproic acid were similar to values obtained before the administration of this agent (Ch 3: 26 +/- 20, Ch 4: 69 +/- 23, Ch 5: 86 +/- 19, Ch 6: 109 +/- 14). Slope values (86 +/- 23 s x U(-1) x mL(-1)) and projected heparin concentrations (4 +/- 1 U/mL) obtained before the administration of epsilon-aminocaproic acid were similar to slope values (88 +/- 21 s x U(-1) x mL(-1)) and projected heparin concentrations (4 +/- 1 U/mL) values obtained after administration of this agent. Our data indicate that HemoSTATUS clot ratio values and heparin dose response values are not significantly affected after IV dosing of epsilon-aminocaproic acid. IMPLICATIONS: Values from two activated coagulation time-based test systems used to identify significant heparin resistance or platelet dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass were not significantly affected by epsilon-aminocaproic acid administered IV.
