Charge reduction and regeneration in K+, Na+, Mg2+, Ni2+ and Co2+-exchanged Wyoming Bentonite

Controlled calcination of ion-exchanged Wyoming Bentonite in the presence and absence of ammonia leads to layer charge reductions. Detailed chemical analyses of both unexchangeable and exchangeable species lead to the conclusion that in no case is there migration of the original interlamellar cations into the octahedral region of the layers although, in terms of ionic radius alone, Mg²⁺, Ni²⁺ and, possibly Co²⁺, might be expected to do so. The production of unexchangeable Mg, Ni or Co, is identified as resulting from high temperature hydrolysis leading to hydroxide or oxide formation.     

31P NMR of tissue phospholipids: Competition for Mg2+, Ca2+, Na+ and K+ cations

Phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), ethanolamine plasmalogen (EPLAS), sphingomyelin (SPH), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), cardiolipin (CL), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidic acid (PA) were dispersed together in Cs(ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid-scrubbed chloroform/methanol solution, and high resolution³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were recorded. In separate titration experiments, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ were added to the dispersed phospholipid mixture to determine the relative interaction potentials of each of the phospholipids for each of the added cations. The association of cations with individual phospholipids was indicated by³¹P chemical-shift changes, signal broadening, signal quenching or a combination of these. The titrations revealed that CL had the highest, and PA the next highest, interaction potential for Mg²⁺ cations. In contrast, PS and PA had the highest, and CL the next highest, interaction potential for Ca²⁺. Considering only interactions with Ca²⁺ ions, the phospholipids can be divided into three distinct groups: PS and PA (high interaction potential); CL, PI and PG (intermediate interaction potential); and EPLAS, PE, SPH and PC (essentially no interaction potential). The two phospholipids with the least interaction potential for either of the alkaline-earth cations were PC and SPH. Na⁺ and K⁺ ion interactions with PA, CL, PI and PG were unique and resulted in positive chemical-shift changes relative to the chemical shifts in the presence of Cs⁺ ions. Relative to both Cs⁺ and K⁺ ions, chemical shifts in the presence of Na⁺ ions were deshielded δ>0.1 ppm in the order PA>CL>PI>PG.     

Influence of Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Fe3+on filterability and settleability of drilling sludge

Solid–liquid separation is a vital step in drilling sludge disposal, and the filterability and settleability of drilling sludge are the main evaluating indicators for the separation process. The influence of Na~+,K~+,Mg~(2+),Ca~(2+),and Fe~(3+) on drilling sludge filterability and settleability was investigated in our research. The water content,filtration rate, supernatant volume and supernatant turbidity were measured to evaluate the filterability and settleability of drilling sludge. Meanwhile, the zeta potential, specific surface area of sludge flocs, particle size distribution and Fourier-transformed infrared spectra were employed to clarify the influencing mechanism.The experimental results showed that the filterability and settleability of drilling sludge were related to concentration and types of cations. Mg~(2+),Ca~(2+),and Fe~(3+) performed better than Na~+, K~+, and the cations with smaller hydrated radius got superior solid–liquid separation behavior at same valence. Finally, the spectra indicated that no chemical adsorption occurred between inorganic cations and drilling sludge flocs. The variation of surface charge and flocs growth after adding different inorganic cations were the reasons for the changes of the filterability and settleability.     

Binary ion exchange equilibrium for Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+ and H+ ions on amberlite IR-120

Experimental data are reported for ion exchange equilibria of binary systems on Amberlite IR-120 resin, at different temperatures and total ionic concentrations in aqueous solutions. These systems exhibit non-ideal behaviour in both phases, and the equilibrium characterization has been based on the law of mass action, using Wilson and Meisssner, and Kusik equations to correlate the activity coefficients in the resin and aqueous solutions, respectively. Equilibrium constants, standard thermodynamic properties (Gibbs free enthalpy changes, enthalpy and entropy) and Wilson binary parameters were obtained as functions of temperature.

Comprehensive study of the structural and electronic properties of complexes formed by Mz+ (Li+, Na+, K+, Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+) cation and thiophene and its derivatives

The interactions of metal cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Be²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺) with thiophene and its derivatives have been investigated using MP2/6-311++G** and B3LYP/6-311++G** methods in the gas phase and the water solution. The following substituents are taken into considerations: F, Cl, Br, CH₃, OH and C₂H₃, which cover electron-withdrawing and electron-donating effects. The substituent, the metal cations and the solvent effects on the cation–π interactions are investigated. The physical properties such as dipole moment, chemical potential and chemical hardness of studied complexes have been systematically explored. Natural population analysis data, the electron density and Laplacian properties have been used to evaluate the cation–π interaction. The electron density (ρ) and Laplacian (?²ρ) properties, estimated by atoms-in-molecules calculations, indicate that the cation–π interactions possess low ρ and positive ?²ρ, which are in agreement with electrostatic character of the cation–π interactions. Charge transfer values are calculated using Mulliken charges and reveal that the electron charge transfer takes place from thiophene and its derivatives to the metal cation in the complexes under the study. To evaluate the aromaticity of the rings upon complexation, several well-established indices of aromaticity such as the nucleus-independent chemical shift and the harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity and the aromatic fluctuation index have been used. The molecular electrostatic potential is given the visual representation of the chemically active sites and comparative reactivity of atoms. Furthermore, the effects of interactions on NMR data have been used for more investigation of the analyzed complexes.     

Absorption characterization of Ca2+, Na+, and K+ on irradiation crosslinked carboxymethyl sago pulp hydrogel

Hydrogel of carboxymethyl sago pulp (CMSP) of various degree of substitution (DS) was prepared by electron beam irradiation of various radiation doses. The CMSP hydrogels were subjected to swelling in different ionic strength solutions of KCl, NaCl, and CaCl₂. The CMSP hydrogels, due to its polyelectrolyte nature, were found to be highly sensitive to ionic strength of the medium. All the CMSP hydrogels showed the absorption of K⁺ and Ca²⁺ increases with the increase in the concentrations of the respective cation solutions. The cation absorption also decreases with DS and % gel fraction (%GF) of the CMSP hydrogels. Subjecting the CMSP hydrogels in NaCl results in deswelling and releases Na⁺ to swelling medium where the Na⁺ release increases with the increase of DS and %GF. The sorption capacity depends on the extent of crosslinking and decreases with the increase in the extent of crosslinking. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013     

Ion-Exchange Equilibrium of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, and H+ Ions on Amberlite IR-120: Experimental Determination and Theoretical Prediction of the Ternary and Quaternary Equilibrium Data

Abstract

A study of the cation-exchange equilibria between Amberlite IR-120 resin and aqueous solutions of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium chlorides and hydrochloric acid has been made. Experiments were carried out at 283, 303, and 323 K with solutions having total cation concentrations of approximately 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 N. Experimental data for the ion-exchange equilibria of the ternary and quaternary systems are reported. These systems exhibit nonideal characteristics in both phases. The predictions have been based on the reaction equilibrium constants and correlations for the activity coefficients in both phases. A model which allows the prediction of multicomponent ion-exchange equilibria from binary data has been developed. Predictions of ternary and quaternary systems based solely on the binary data are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Effect of Mg2+, Li+, Na+ and K+ on the Electrocrystallization of Nickel from Aqueous Sulfate solutions containing Boric Acid

The effects of metal ions such as Mg²⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ on the cathodic current efficiency, deposit morphology, crystallographic orientation and polarization behaviour during nickel deposition on stainless steel from aqueous sulfate solutions containing boric acid were investigated. There was virtually no change in current efficiency in presence of these metal ions, but changes were observed in the deposit morphologies and crystal orientations even though all the deposits looked bright, smooth and coherent. Changes were also observed in the polarization behaviour during nickel electrocrystallization in presence and absence of boric acid. An attempt has been made to correlate the effect of these metal ions on various parameters studied.

Catalytic and ortho-directing effect of Zn2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, and Ca2+ metal hydroxides on the preparation of phenolic-formaldehyde resin

A one step method was employed to prepare PF (phenol-formaldehyde) resin adhesive from phenol and formaldehyde with Zn²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ba²⁺, and Ca²⁺ hydroxides as catalysts, and the physicochemical properties of the resulting polymeric material were analyzed. The viscosity of the liquid adhesive decreased at intermediate catalyst concentrations, while the polymerization rate decreased at the highest concentrations; no clear pattern could be observed between catalyst concentration and solid content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) performed on the PF resin catalyzed by Ba²⁺ showed that the polymer had a curing exothermic peak at around 110?°C, while the initial curing temperatures of PF resins were affected by the type of metal hydroxide used, and were in the order Ca²⁺?<?Mg²⁺ <control sample. FTIR spectroscopy was used to monitor the degree of ortho/para substitution during the synthesis of PF resin with Ba²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺ hydroxides. The highest ortho/para ratio was achieved with Ba²⁺ at a concentration of 0.45?wt.%, which also resulted in the most significant increase in the polymerization rate for the formation of PF resin.

Bioinformatic Analysis of Na+, K+-ATPase Regulation through Phosphorylation of the Alpha-Subunit N-Terminus

The Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase is an integral membrane protein which uses the energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump Na⁺ and K⁺ ions across the plasma membrane of all animal cells. It plays crucial roles in numerous physiological processes, such as cell volume regulation, nutrient reabsorption in the kidneys, nerve impulse transmission, and muscle contraction. Recent data suggest that it is regulated via an electrostatic switch mechanism involving the interaction of its lysine-rich N-terminus with the cytoplasmic surface of its surrounding lipid membrane, which can be modulated through the regulatory phosphorylation of the conserved serine and tyrosine residues on the protein’s N-terminal tail. Prior data indicate that the kinases responsible for phosphorylation belong to the protein kinase C (PKC) and Src kinase families. To provide indications of which particular enzyme of these families might be responsible, we analysed them for evidence of coevolution via the mirror tree method, utilising coevolution as a marker for a functional interaction. The results obtained showed that the most likely kinase isoforms to interact with the Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase were the θ and η isoforms of PKC and the Src kinase itself. These theoretical results will guide the direction of future experimental studies.

Competitive Adsorption of Ag+, Pb2+, Ni2+, and Cd2+ Ions on Vermiculite

Competitive adsorption of Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cd² ions on vermiuculite in a binary, ternary, and quaternary mixture was investigated in batch experiments. The effects of the presence of Ag⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cd²⁺ ions on the adsorption of Pb²⁺ ions were investigated in terms of the equilibrium isotherm. Experimental results indicated that Pb²⁺ ions always favorably adsorbed on vermiculite over Ag⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cd²⁺ ions. The adsorption equilibrium data of Pb²⁺ ions better fitted the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. The results showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetics model was in good agreement with the experimental results for all metal ions, and the adsorption rate among the metal ions followed Ag⁺ > Pb²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Cd²⁺. The desorption and regenration study indicated that vermiculite can be used repeatedly and be suitable for the design of a continuous process.
