α-Aminophosphonates, Phosphinates, and Phosphine Oxides as Extraction and Precipitation Agents for Rare Earth Metals, Thorium, and Uranium : A Review

2022

α-Aminophosphonates, -phosphinates, and -phosphine oxides are a group of organophosphorus compounds that were investigated as extraction agents for rare earth (RE) metals and actinoids for the first time in the 1960s. However, more systematic investigations of their extraction properties towards REs and actinoids were not started until the 2010s. Indeed, recent studies have shown that these α-amino-functionalized compounds can outperform the commercial organophosphorus extraction agents in RE separations. They have also proven to be very efficient extraction and precipitation agents for recovering Th and U from RE concentrates. These actinoids coexist with REs in some of the commercially im…

Separation of aminoalkanephosphonic acid enantiomers by indirect UV detection capillary electrophoresis with application of cyclodextrins.

2003

Indirect UV detection capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used for the separation of aminoalkanephosphonic acid (AP) enantiomers by applying commercially available cyclodextrins as chiral discriminators. The results show that the separation of the enantiomers depends on pH of the background electrolyte, the molar ratio of cyclodextrin to aminophosphonic acid, and on the type of the applied chiral selector. Optimization of process conditions allowed enantiomeric baseline separation or partial separation of 12 out of 14 alpha-aminophosphonic acids studied. This type of CE might therefore be successfully used for routine determination of enantiomeric purity of aminophosphonic acids.

Oil-In-Water Microemulsion Liquid Chromatography

2018

Oil-in-water microemulsions (O/W MEs) are obtained spontaneously by mixing two immiscible liquids (water and oil) in the presence of a surfactant. A co-surfactant is also often needed for ME stabil...

First determination of β-delayed multiple neutron emission beyond A = 100 through direct neutron measurement : The P2n value of 136Sb

2018

Background: β-delayed multiple neutron emission has been observed for some nuclei with A≤100, being the Rb100 the heaviest β2n emitter measured to date. So far, only 25P2n values have been determined for the ≈300 nuclei that may decay in this way. Accordingly, it is of interest to measure P2n values for the other possible multiple neutron emitters throughout the chart of the nuclides. It is of particular interest to make such a measurement for nuclei with A>100 to test the predictions of theoretical models and simulation tools for the decays of heavy nuclei in the region of very neutron-rich nuclei. In addition, the decay properties of these nuclei are fundamental for the understanding of a…

Extracting Conditionally Heteroskedastic Components using Independent Component Analysis

2020

In the independent component model, the multivariate data are assumed to be a mixture of mutually independent latent components. The independent component analysis (ICA) then aims at estimating these latent components. In this article, we study an ICA method which combines the use of linear and quadratic autocorrelations to enable efficient estimation of various kinds of stationary time series. Statistical properties of the estimator are studied by finding its limiting distribution under general conditions, and the asymptotic variances are derived in the case of ARMA-GARCH model. We use the asymptotic results and a finite sample simulation study to compare different choices of a weight coef…

Abstract Extraction of roots of Ligularia persica and chromatographic separation yielded one new derivative of tovarol, four new derivatives of shiromodiol, α- and β-eudesmol, bakkenolide A and four known eremophilane derivatives.

Effect of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Concentration on Polymeric Scaffolds Based on Blends of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) and PHA Prepared via Thermally…

2022

Hybrid porous scaffolds composed of both natural and synthetic biopolymers have demonstrated significant improvements in the tissue engineering field. This study investigates for the first time the fabrication route and characterization of poly-L-lactic acid scaffolds blended with polyhydroxyalkanoate up to 30 wt%. The hybrid scaffolds were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation method starting from ternary solutions. The microstructure of the hybrid porous structures was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and related to the blend composition. The porosity and the wettability of the scaffolds were evaluated through gravimetric and water contact angle measurements, respective…

PLLA-BASED SCAFFOLDS FOR OSTEOCHONDRAL TISSUE REGENERATION VIA THERMALLY INDUCED PHASE SEPARATION TECHNIQUE

L’ingegneria tessutale (TE) è una scienza multidisciplinare che mira a progettare e sviluppare sostituti biologici per migliorare, riparare e/o sostituire i tessuti negli organismi umani. Sulla base della tipica triade dell’ingegneria tessutale è incentrato il primo capitolo Scaffold, Source and Signal; lo scaffold funge da struttura tridimensionale, le cellule rappresentano la source mentre il bioreattore fornisce gli adeguati segnali chimico/fisici. In questo lavoro di tesi sono stati presi in considerazione tutti e tre questi aspetti avendo come obiettivo la rigenerazione osteocondrale. La guarigione dei difetti osteocondrali, riguardanti le lesioni della cartilagine che si esten- dono f…
