The application of the supported liquid membrane and molecularly imprinted polymers as solid acceptor phase for selective extraction of biochanin A f…
2018
An efficient sample clean-up and preconcentration procedure for phytoestrogens analysis in urine has been developed. It was based on a combination of solid phase extraction with hollow-fiber supported liquid membrane and molecularly imprinted beads (MIPs-HF-SLM-SPE). The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized by precipitation polymerization technique with biochanin A (BCA) as a template, giving narrowly dispersed microspheres with a regular shape. As the functional monomer, (dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (-DEM) turned out to be better than methacrylic acid (MAA) to get the best-imprinted effects. The MIPs used as sorbents in the MIPs-HF-SLM-SPE extraction process exhibite…
Enrichment of amino acids by supported liquid membrane extraction using Aliquat 336 as a carrier
1998
Abstract The possible application of Aliquat 336 (trioctylmethyl ammonium chloride) as a carrier for liquid membrane extraction of amino acids was investigated. The extraction is performed from an aqueous donor phase with pH > 11 to an acceptor phase containing a salt solution through a supported liquid membrane with Aliquat 336 as a carrier in the membrane to facilitate amino acid transport. Counter-coupled transport of chloride anions from the acceptor phase to the donor phase is the driving force of the mass transfer in this system. The extraction efficiency depends on the donor phase pH, the carrier concentration in the liquid membrane, the composition of the acceptor phase and the hydr…
Extraction of dansylated amino acids using the supported liquid membrane technique
1997
Extraction using the supported liquid membrane (SLM) technique demands conditions where the extracted compounds can be made uncharged allowing them to pass through the membrane. For amino acids, being bifunctional, such conditions can not be obtained directly. One way to overcome this problem is to block one of the functionalities by derivatization, utilising the other group for the transport. The SLM extraction of dansylated amino acids was investigated and optimized. It was possible to obtain high extraction efficiencies (>90%) for most amino acids. For amino acids with polar side chains, such high extraction efficiencies were only obtained at low analyte concentrations ( 10 nmol 1-l). Fo…
Extraction of short peptides using supported liquid membranes
2002
Studies of extraction of short peptides using supported liquid membranes containing Aliquat 336 as a carrier are presented. The extractions are carried out from an aqueous donor phase with pH ≥ 10 to an acceptor phase containing salt. The mass transfer is driven by the gradient of salt concentration between these phases. The extraction efficiency is dependent on the composition of water phases, the type and concentration of counter-ion in the stagnant acceptor phase and the flow rate of the donor phase. Moreover, it is also influenced by the concentration and structure of the examined peptides.
Transport of amino acids through liquid membranes supported on novel poly(vinylidenefluoride) porous flat-sheet matrix
1997
Flat-sheet membranes from poly(vinylidenefluoride) (PVDF) were prepared by the phase inversion process. LiCl was used as a modifying agent. The porosity, maximum pore size and LEPW (liquid entry pressure of water) were determined. Three types of these membranes were tested as a support for n-decanol supported liquid membranes (SLM). Transport of eight amino acids, selected to cover a wide variety of side chains, and of phenylalanine methyl ester through n-decanol SLM were studied. The ability of amino acids to permeates through these membranes depends on the type of flat-sheet PVDF used as a support. An increase in porosity and pore size of the microporous matrix resulted in an increase of …
Factors influencing the transport of tryptophan hydrochloride through supported liquid membranes containing macrocyclic carriers
1997
Commercially available PTFE membranes were used as a support for liquid membranes in amino acid transport. Using tryptophan as a model amino acid, the influence of the type of organic liquid, kind of macrocyclic carrier and counter-ion on transport efficiency was examined. These studies show the strong influence of the kind of the counter-ion co-transported with amino acid cation, and the type of macrocyclic carrier used on the transport efficiency. The transport efficiency depends also on the pH of the source phase and on the nature of the organic liquid used as a membrane solvent. Liquid membranes supported on commercial porous-PTFE-membranes with hydrophobic solvents are stable for more …
Supported liquid membrane separation of amine and amino acid derivatives with chiral esters of phosphoric acids as carriers
2003
Studies on the possible use of phosphate and phosphonate esters bearing chiral menthol or nopol moieties as carriers for the transport of amines, amino acids, and amino acid esters through supported liquid membranes (SLM) are presented. Additionally, the enantioselectivity of the SLM transport of alkyl esters of aromatic amino acids and a non‐protein amino acid was also evaluated. It could be concluded that the extent of transport strongly depends on the hydrophobicity of the amino compound. Moreover, the carrier structure also influences the transport of those compounds through SLM: chiral phosphate and phosphonate esters appear to be poor or moderate carriers for enantioselective SLM tran…
Extraction of amino acids with emulsion liquid membranes using industrial surfactants and lecithin as stabilisers
2000
Abstract Industrial surfactants (being the mixtures of several individual compounds) were used as stabilisers of emulsion liquid membranes (ELMs). Although, some impurities present in technical formulations of these compounds were extracted to aqueous solutions of amino acids, most of the used surfactants well served to this purpose. In the case of amino acid transport, they do not act as carriers and application of additional carrier (such as D2EHP) was required in order to facilitate the transport. Interestingly, the same properties were found for lecithin, industrially important natural surfactant. Lecithin applied as a chiral discriminator, used either as an emulsion stabiliser or carri…
Concentration of amino acids using supported liquid membranes with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid as a carrier
1997
Abstract Basic studies of a procedure for extraction of amino acids using a supported liquid membrane containing di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid are presented. The extractions are made from an aqueous donor phase with pH 3 to a more acidic acceptor phase and the mass transfer is driven by the proton gradient between these phases. For 0.01 mM tryptophan and with 1 M HCl as acceptor phase, an extraction efficiency of 60% is obtained, constant up to at least 12 h. This permits concentration enrichment factors linearly increasing with time up to values of at least 150. For higher amino acid concentrations, the extraction efficiency is constant only over shorter time intervals.
Transport of amino acids and their phosphonic acid analogues through supported liquid membranes containing macrocyclic carriers. Experimental paramet…
1991
Abstract Amino acid hydrochlorides are well transported through 1-decanol membranes containing Kryptofix 5 or 222 and supported in a porous polyacrylonitrile hollow fiber matrix. Factors which influence the transport of phenylalanine hydrochloride were studied in some detail using this sheet- as well as hollow fibre-supported liquid membranes. These studies show that the choice of the membrane phase, the kind of polymeric support and the mode of membrane preparation are of great importance for the efficiency of the process. The most vital step in the membrane preparation appears to be its activation by soaking in a solution of phenylalanine hydrochloride in a water-ethanol or water-propanol…
