We describe the general aspects of ion chromatography and how on-line counted ion-exchange techniques can be utilized to determine pyruvic and lactic acids in plasma and vanillymandelic acid in urine. Pyruvate and lactate are extracted from deproteinized plasma by use of an ion-exclusion resin. After elution from the resin, the plasma extract is chromatographed on an anion-exchange column, with...

The application of anion exchange resins (AERs) has been limited by the critical problem of resin fouling, which increases the volume of the desorption concentrate and decreases treatment efficiency. To date, resin fouling has not been well studied and is poorly understood compared to membrane fouling. To reflect the resin fouling level, a resin fouling index (RFI) was established in this work ...

a polyamine-formaldehyde resin (Amberlite IR-4) as an anion exchange resin on the gastric secretions of rats. The acid neutralizing characteristics of the resin suggested its trial in the treatment of peptic ulcer but the large volume required to remove clinical amounts of acid from solution rendered its use impractical, even though feeding experiments showed the substance to be innocuous. Howe...

It has been shown that the addition of a beta-adrenergic catecholamine to a trout red blood cell suspension induces a 60-100-fold increase of sodium permeability resulting from the activation of a cAMP-dependent Na+/H+ antiport. Subsequent addition of propranolol almost instantaneously reduces the intracellular cAMP concentration, and thus the Na permeability, to their basal values (Mahé et al....

WC/graphitic carbon nanocomposite was in situ simultaneously obtained from anion exchange resin-WO(4)(2-)-[Fe(CN)(6)](4-) complex, which could act as a highly efficient catalyst support for the direct methanol fuel cell.
