A novel bisphosphonate-based solid phase method for effective removal of chromium(iii) from aqueous solutions and tannery effluents
Effective removal of chromium(III) from waste waters e.g. in the leather industry is required due to continuously tightening environmental regulations, and several methods such as precipitation and adsorption are currently in use. Nevertheless, more efficient, straightforward and inexpensive methods are constantly being sought. The current study describes a novel method to separate chromium(III) from aqueous solutions based on the use of solid bisphosphonates with a P–C–P backbone. Five classes of bisphosphonates with different functional groups and alkyl chain lengths at the center carbon, in all 16 compounds, were prepared and their suitability for metal ion complexing as chelating agents…
Systematic study of physicochemical properties of a homologous series of aminobisphosphonates
Aminobisphosphonates, e.g., alendronate and neridronate, are a well known class of molecules used as drugs for various bone diseases. Although these molecules have been available for decades, a detailed understanding of their most important physicochemical properties under comparable conditions is lacking. In this study, ten aminobisphosphonates, H2N(CH2)nC(OH)[P(O)(OH)2]2, in which n = 2–5, 7–11 and 15 have been synthesized. Their aqueous solubility as a function of temperature and pH, pKa-values, thermal stability, IR absorptions, and NMR spectral data for bothliquid (1H, 13C, 31P-NMR) and solid state (13C, 15N and 31P-CPMAS NMR) were determined. peerReviewed
