Protein losses in ion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction high-performance liquid chromatography.

Protein losses in ion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction HPLC were examined. The supports were all non-porous, packed in columns of identical dimensions. Two ion-exchange chromatography (IEC), anion and cation, as well as a hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) columns were tested. Proteins included cytochrome c, bovine serum albumin (BSA), immunoglobulin G and fibrinogen. Temperature effects on HIC supports were studied for cytochrome c and BSA. Both retention times and recoveries of the proteins were measured. The influence of column residence time on the recovery of proteins was also investigated. We found a linear relationship between the amount of protein recovered and the log of the molecular mass. Retention times also generally increased with temperature for both HIC and IEC. Other trends in retention behavior and recoveries are discussed.

Effects of competitive ions, humic acid, and pH on removal of ammonium and phosphorous from the synthetic industrial effluent by ion exchange resins.

The removal of the ammonium and phosphorous from the synthetic industrial effluent by the ion exchange resins was studied in this paper, aiming at the determination of the effects of competitive ions, humic acid, pH and resin amount. The kinetic experiments show that the equilibrium time for the removal of both contaminants in the absence and presence of the competing matters was 4 h. Na+ and K+ significantly reduced the ammonium removal percentage, while the existence of Mg2+, Ca2+ and humic acid also had a negative influence. Adsorption of ammonium ions in both absence and presence of Na+ and K+ observed the linear isotherm, however, it did not follow commonly used isotherms in the presence of Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and humic acid. The phosphorous removal decreased in the presence of the competitive matters, such as Cl-, CO3(2-), SO4(2-) and humic acid. Higher pH can cause higher phosphorous removal percentage. A decrease in the solution pH was observed in the phosphorous removal experiments, possibly due to the ion exchange and the adsorption of OH-. Uptake of humic acid by the resins was observed. Finally, a series of fixed-bed experiments were performed, showing that the performance was dependent on the empty bed contact time (EBCT). Higher EBCT would cause higher bed volumes of both treated ammonium and phosphorous.

Protein-bound phosphorylserine in acid hydrolysates of brain tissue. The determination of ( 32 P)phosphorylserine by ion-exchange chromatography and electrophoresis.

1. Partial acid hydrolysates of proteins derived from cortical slices of guinea-pig brain were divided into two parts and fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography and high-voltage electrophoresis. 2. The apparent yield of protein-bound phosphorylserine by the ion-exchange method was about three times that obtained by electrophoresis. 3. The specific radioactivity of phosphorylserine isolated from (32)P-labelled slices by electrophoresis was twice that isolated by chromatography. 4. The discrepancies were found to be due to the presence of unlabelled phosphates of unknown composition in the ;phosphorylserine' fraction obtained by the ion-exchange method. 5. Electrical stimulation of slices respiring in the presence of [(32)P]phosphate increased the specific radioactivity of the total phosphate in the chromatographic ;phosphorylserine' fraction by 53+/-11%, as compared with only 19+/-5% for the phosphorylserine isolated by electrophoresis.

Mechanism of charged pollutants removal in an ion exchange membrane bioreactor: drinking water denitrification.

The mechanism of anionic pollutant removal in an ion exchange membrane bioreactor (IEMB) was studied for drinking water denitrification. This hybrid process combines continuous ion exchange transport (Donnan dialysis) of nitrate and its simultaneous bioreduction to gaseous nitrogen. A nonporous mono-anion permselective membrane precludes direct contact between the polluted water and the denitrifying culture and prevents secondary pollution of the treated water with dissolved nutrients and metabolic products. Complete denitrification may be achieved without accumulation of NO3(-) and NO2(-) ions in the biocompartment. Focus was given to the effect of the concentration of co-ions, counterions, and ethanol on the IEMB performance. The nitrate overall mass transfer coefficient in this hybrid process was found to be 2.8 times higher compared to that in a pure Donnan dialysis process without denitrification. Furthermore, by adjusting the ratio of co-ions between the biocompartment and the polluted water compartment, the magnitude and direction of each individual anion flux can be easily regulated, allowing for flexible process operation and control. Synthetic groundwater containing 135-350 mg NO3(-) L(-1) was treated in the IEMB system. A surface denitrification rate of 33 g NO3(-) per square meter of membrane per day was obtained at a nitrate loading rate of 360 g NO3(-) m(-3)d(-1), resulting in a nitrate removal efficiency of 85%.

Intracellular ion exchange between cytoplasmic potassium and granule histamine, an integrated link in the histamine release machinery of mast cells.

Rat peritoneal mast cells isolated by gradient centrifugation in Percoll were placed between two membrane filters in a Sartorius filter apparatus and superfused with isotonic balanced salt solutions or with deionized isotonic sucrose. Histamine was released according to ion exchange kinetics. Our explanation of the observed phenomena is as follows. The superfusion induces a flow of cytoplasmic K+ ions across the histamine-containing granules, resulting in an ion exchange K+ in equilibrium Hi+ ions at the histamine binding sites. The concomitant equimolar outflow of histamine and potassium is considered to be due to a functional interplay between two histamine pools, a release and a donor pool. As the result of the K+ in equilibrium Hi+ ion exchange at the histamine binding sites of the release pool, these sites become transiently occupied by K+ ions only to be immediately reoccupied by Hi+ ions from the donor pool. The observed equimolar outflows are consistent with a 1/1 molar ratio in the exchange between histamine and potassium ions. The essential role of cytoplasmic potassium in the histamine release mechanism is a new and important observation with possible implications not only as to histamine release in general (including so-called 'spontaneous' histamine release) but also as to the release of biogenic amines and other positively charged substances stored in granules in ionic linkage to the matrix.

Microwave enhanced ion exchange of cationic and anionic clays.

The ion exchange reactions of both cationic clays (e.g. montmorillonites) and of layered double hydroxides ("anionic clays") are greatly accelerated when carried out under conditions of microwave heating. The observations appear general, and the new methodology should be of considerable importance in many aspects of clay science.

Purification of the pepsinogen A isozymogens by means of high resolution ion-exchange chromatography. Evidence for post-translational modifications.

Total human pepsinogen (PG) was isolated from gastric fundic mucosa and PGA (formerly called PGI) from urine, using standard ion-exchange and gel filtration techniques. Gastric PGA was separated from PGC (formerly called PGII) either by immunoaffinity or high resolution ion-exchange chromatography (fast protein liquid chromatography, Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden). The individual PGA isozymogens 2, 3, 4 and 5 could be isolated to homogeneity with the aid of the same ion-exchanger. Evidence was obtained for the existence of secondary modifications of the PGA fractions 3, 4 and 5, electrophoretically overlapping the primary (genetic) isozymogens.

A simple method for classification of antibiotics using ion exchange resins added to agar plates.

Using two different ion-exchange resins (Dowex 50W-X4 as cation and Dowex 1-X4 as anion) added directly to assay plates seeded with Bacillus subtilis or Micrococcus luteus, the size of the inhibitory zone produced by 36 antimicrobial agents around a disc or cup was characterized into various types, such as acidic, basic or amphoteric. An increase of the inhibition zone following addition of 15% Dowex 50W-X4 was evident in penicillins except for ampicillin and penicillin-G, and polyethers. Aminoglycosides, macrolides and colistin, lincomycin, and sulphonamides on assay medium treated with Dowex 1-X4 showed a similar effect on the inhibition zone. Tetracyclines, virginiamycin, oxolinic acid and furazoridone revealed no effects on the inhibition zone with either of the resins. These antibiotics could be divided into various groups on the basis of their chemical structure. This simple and rapid method may be useful for routine laboratory testing of residual antibiotics in meat.

[Microbial growth in mixed-bed ion exchange columns].

The microbial growth in ion-exchange columns of Christ GmbH Leonberg (Germany) was studied under differing water processing conditions. Continuous processing led to the same or slightly higher microbial counts in the product water compared to the feed water. Feeding the considerably contaminated column with slightly contaminated water (less than 40 CFU/100 ml) also didn't prevent microbial growth in the column. If water was withdrawn on demand only, an overnight no-demand period with closed inlet of the column led to considerable microbial growth, raising the microbial counts of the product water to well above the feed water level. But lower microbial counts were found in the product water than in the feed water by tightly closing the outlet of the column and hereby keeping the column at the same pressure as exists in the piping system. This was observed in several months long experiments operating with disinfected as well as freshly regenerated resin. The passage through a column of freshly regenerated resin led to a germ reduction of approximately 2 powers of ten and to an elimination of pyrogens.

Ion-exchange properties and electrochemical characterization of quaternary ammonium-functionalized silica microspheres obtained by the surfactant template route.

Porous silica spheres functionalized with quaternary ammonium groups have been prepared by co-condensation of N-((trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (TMTMAC) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium as a template and ammonia as a catalyst. The physicochemical characteristics of the resulting ion exchangers have been analyzed by various techniques and discussed with respect to the amount of organofunctional groups in the materials. For comparison purposes, both an ordered MCM-41 type mesoporous silica and two silica gels of different pore size have been grafted with TMTMAC. The ion-exchange capabilities were first evaluated from batch experiments (determination of anion-exchange capacities) and then by ion-exchange voltammetry at carbon paste electrodes modified with these hybrid materials. Effective concentration of Fe(CN)(6)(3)(-) species in the anion exchangers was pointed out, while no significant accumulation of Ru(NH(3))(6)(3+) was observed. The preconcentration efficiency was discussed on the basis of the organic group content in the materials as well as their structure and porosity. A second series of materials displaying zwitterionic surfaces was finally prepared and characterized with respect to their physicochemical properties and ion-exchange voltammetric behavior. They consisted of sulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica samples resulting from the oxidation of thiol-functionalized silica spheres obtained by co-condensation of mercaptopropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and TEOS, which were then grafted with TMTMAC at various functionalization levels. Possible interactions between the ammonium and sulfonate moieties in the confined medium were pointed out from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The competitive accumulation-rejection of Fe(CN)(6)(3)(-) and Ru(NH(3))(6)(3+) redox probes was finally studied by cyclic voltammetry.

Heavy-metal-ion capture, ion-exchange, and exceptional acid stability of the open-framework chalcogenide (NH(4))(4)In(12)Se(20).

The hydrothermal synthesis of the purely inorganic open-framework indium selenide (NH(4))(4)In(12)Se(20) (1) is reported. Compound 1 exhibits a unique three-dimensional open-framework structure. The framework of 1 shows an unusual, for a chalcogenide compound, rigidity arising from the unprecedented connection mode of its building blocks. Compound 1 possesses ion exchange capacity for Cs(+), Rb(+), NH(4) (+), but it has selectivity against Na(+) and Li(+). It also showed exceptional stability in relatively concentrated hydrochloric acid. Ion exchange of 1 with hydrochloric water solutions can produce its solid acid analogue H(2)(NH(4))(2)In(12)Se(20). The maximum cation-exchange capacity of 1 was found equal to two equivalents per mol, which is consistent with an exchange mechanism taking place in the 1D-channels formed by the largest cavities. In addition, 1 can do ion-exchange with heavy-metal ions like Hg(2+), Pb(2+), and Ag(+). The capacity of 1 to clean water solutions from heavy-metal ions was preliminarily investigated and found very high. Specifically, 1 can remove 99.9 % of Hg(2+), 99.8 % of Ag(+), and 94.9 % of Pb(2+) from aqueous solutions of each of these ions. Using different synthetic conditions, we isolated compound (NH(4))(2)In(12)Se(19) (2), which also has as good an acid stability as 1, but no ion-exchange properties. Overall, this work provides new hydrothermal synthetic approaches for isolation of all-inorganic open-framework chalcogenides.

A procedure for drug screening without the need to transport urines: use of ion exchange papers and hemagglutination inhibition.

A procedure was devised for screening for drug abuse in urine specimens by adsorbing the drugs onto papers loaded with ion-exchange resin. The drugs were then eluted from the papers into aqueous saline buffers, which were analyzed by hemagglutination inhibition with antisera specific for morphine, methadone, or barbiturates. The procedure combines the convenience of the ion-exchange papers with the precision and sensitivity of the immunoassay. The preliminary treatment consists of local treatment of urine specimens collected at many distant clinics with ion exchange papers that adsorb 50-65% of alkaloid drugs and 25% of barbiturates and can be shipped, after drying, in simple envelopes by regular mail to a central analytical laboratory for processing. At the central laboratory, portions of specimens are reconstituted in aqueous saline buffers, while drugs from other portions are extracted with solvents at appropriate pH. Drugs are detected in the reconstituted aqueous media by hemagglutination inhibition and spectrophotofluorimetry and confirmed in the solvent extracts by thin-layer chromatography. Recovery of labeled drugs after this treatment and urine screening data showed that the procedure is safe, convenient, and reliable in the case of opiate alkaloids, methadone, amphetamines, and phenothiazine tranquilizers but is less suitable for detection of barbiturates.

[Isolation of heparin and chondroitin sulfate from animal tissue by an ion exchange method].

Isolation of mucopolysaccharides (heparin and chondroitin sulfate), from animal tissue by ion exchange was studied. The yields of heparin and chondroitin sulfate of up to 20,000-150,000 units/kg and 14 g/kg, respectively, can be obtained depending of the type of the raw material used and the sorbent, which absorbs heparin and chondroitin sulfate from aqueous solutions in amounts of 100-250 mg per g sorbent. Ion-exchange sorption of mucopolysaccharides on synthetic sorbents permits extracting fractions of these compounds with the maximum biological activity.

Modeling of penicillin G hydrolysis to 6-APA in an immobilized enzyme-ion exchange system.

A composite system of an immobilized enzyme reactor combined with an ion exchange column was employed for hydrolysis of penicillin G to 6-APA with continuous removal of PAA. In this study, a mathematical model of penicillin G hydrolysis to 6-APA in the composite system was developed based on the compartment model, the profile of concentration in the ion exchange column, and the enzyme kinetics in the immobilized enzyme reactor. After checking the simulation values and experimental data, the effects of the resin volume, the flow rate, and the switching time on the time required to reach the desired conversion rate was also examined by computer simulation.
