Thermometric study of the dissociation equilibria of the maleinimidodioxime
1982
The values of the dissociation constants of the maleinimidodioxime are potentiometrically determined at various ionic strengths, and extrapolated to zero ionic strength (pK1T=10.41;pk2T=11.60). From these values and from the thermometric titration curves the enthalpies of neutralization (ΔHN1=−21.76,ΔHN2=−23.77 kJ/mol) and the thermodynamic parameters of dissociation of this substance at 25.0 °C are determined (ΔG1θ=59.41,ΔG2θ=66.23,ΔH1θ=34.06,ΔH2θ=32.05 kJ/mol;ΔS1θ=−85.06,ΔS2θ=−114.64 J/(K mol)).
Interaction of ionic compounds with multilamellar liposomes. An electrokinetic model
1998
Abstract We have proposed a theoretical model of interaction of ionic compounds (ionic adsorbate or ionic drugs), with multilamellar-liposomes, by means of their electrokinetic property variation with the ionic compound concentration. In this work, we show the complete development of the model proposed. Its theoretical results have been analysed to study the influence on the zeta-potential value of the following: number of membranes, size, shear-plane situation, critical concentration of formation (ccf), and the ionic compound concentration which annuls the zeta-potential value of the multilamellar-liposomes formed.

Exothermic adsorption of chromate by goethite
2020
Abstract Goethite is a common Fe oxyhydroxide coating soil particle surfaces, which has a high Cr(VI) adsorption capacity under acidic pH conditions. Batch equilibrium adsorption experiments with chromate concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mM were performed using solutions with ionic strengths of 0.1, 0.05, and 0.01 M and pH values of 3–11 and at four temperatures between 10 and 75 °C. The results of these experiments show that the amount of chromate adsorbed decreases as the pH increases towards the zero-point-of-surface-charge of goethite (pHPZC 9.1), which is typical for anions. The chromate adsorption efficiency also depends on the ionic strength of the solution. The amount of chromate…
Transport properties of an ionic magnetic colloid: experimental study of increasing the ionic strength
2002
Abstract The phase separation of an ionic magnetic colloid in zero magnetic field by increasing the ionic strength is well known [Universite Paris VI, France, 1987; J. Colloid Interface Sci. 132 (1989) 1]. The present work deals with investigation of an ionic ferrofluid by increasing the ionic strength in the range of 0–0.14 mol/l, being safely below the threshold value at which the effect of phase separation occurs. By the optical grid setup [Fourth International conference PAMIR, France, 2000], the main transport properties of a ferrofluid, i.e. translational mass diffusion and thermal diffusion (Soret) coefficients, are measured. The obtained results show a strong dependence of mass diff…
Polymorphism, Metastable Species and Interconversion
2014
Abstract The natively unfolded peptide hormone glucagon forms fibrillar structures with amyloid properties. Here, we summarize past advances in glucagon fibrillation and combine them with recent new unpublished data to provide some more general conclusions on how glucagon fibrillation adapts to different physicochemical conditions such as high temperature, pressure, mechanical and chemical stress. Factors such as peptide concentration, accessible surface area, surface hydration of the glucagon molecular state, contact surface, temperature and ionic strength all contribute to fibrillar structure and stability. In addition to fundamental changes in secondary structure, glucagon fibril morphol…
Interaction of sodium, lithium, caesium, and potassium ions with ascorbyl radicals.
1987
Abstract The influence of the concentration of sodium, lithium , caesium, and potassium ions as well as of the ionic strength of the solutions used on the dismutation rate of ascorbyl radicals has been investigated. While the dismutation rate was not influenced by Li+, it decreased, however, with increasing concentrations of the other ions investigated. The largest effect was obtained with Na+. This change in dismutation rate indicates a stabilizing effect on ascorbyl radical by these ions.
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes. III. Effect of sodium polystyrene sulfonate concentration on viscometric and size exclusion chromatographic …
1988
The effect of sodium polystyrene sulfonate concentration on the shape of its molecules in aqueous solution at different NaNO3 ionic strengths has been analyzed by viscometry and size-exclusion chromatography (s.e.c). An equation has been developed which predicts the intrinsic viscosity, [η] p.cp.cs, at finite concentration of both polyion (cp) and electrolyte (cs). The experimental results obtained by both techniques can be accounted for in terms of the theory. Several factors involved in the elution mechanism have been considered and the variation of the slopes of s.e.c. calibration curves with cp and cs has been discussed in terms of polyion conformation changes.
Thermodynamic Parameters for the Protonation of Poly(allylamine) in concentrated LiCl(aq) and NaCl(aq)
2004
The acid-base properties of poly(allylamine) (MW ) 15 kDa) were determined by potentiometry and calorimetry in aqueous solutions at t ) 25 °C. Potentiometric measurements were carried out in a wide range of ionic strengths (0.1 e I/molâL-1 e 5.0) in NaCl(aq) and LiCl(aq), while enthalpy changes for the protonation of poly(allylamine) were determined by calorimetry in the same ionic strength range but only in NaCl(aq). Analysis of the experimental data was carried out using two different models: the first based on a modified Henderson-Hasselbalch two parameter equation and the second on the three parameter equation proposed by Ho¨gfeldt. Protonation constants are given for both models and io…
Boron and lithium behaviour in river waters under semiarid climatic conditions
2022
Boron (B) and Lithium (Li) concentrations were studied in the Platani river, one of the most important catchments of South-Central Sicily which is under semiarid climatic conditions for roughly eight months to a year. In this area, evaporites result in potential B and Li sources for surface waters. Results from river waters have measured ionic strength values between 0.1 and 4.54 M. B and Li distributions in these waters were studied in colloidal (CF, extracted by ultrafiltration from the 0.45 μm filtrate) and total dissolved (TDF) fractions and in fractions extracted from corresponding riverbed sediments, according to changes of the B/Li ratio. In river waters, CF and TDF showed very simil…
