Background & Aims: Aflatoxin M1 is one of the most important toxins present in milk and the product of aflatoxin B1 metabolism in liver microsomes. The aim of this project was to study the aflatoxin M1 adsorption ability of polystyrene-hydroxyapatite nanocomposite. Methods: First, the probability of aflatoxin M1 adsorption by the nanocomposite was evaluated using the HyperChem simulation softwa...

Introduction: Nitrophenol compounds are toxic compounds found in industrial wastewaters. 2,4-dinitrophenol is the most dangerous compound among phenolic compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the removal of 2,4-DNP from wastewater by microwaved dried sludge adsorbent. Materials and Methods: The results of 2,4-DNP removal were discontinuously obtained by the high performance liquid ch...

Interaction chromatography has been employed to validate that adsorption of poly[styrene-co-(4-bromostyrene)] (PBr(x) S) random copolymers, where x denotes the mole fraction of 4-bromostyrene (4-BrS) in PBr(x) S in solution depends on the average number of adsorptive segments, the type of adsorbing substrate, and on the co-monomer sequence distribution in PBr(x) S.

Two novel antibiotics, catacandin A and catacandin B, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the bacterium, Lysobacter gummosus, by extraction and adsorption, reverse-phase and gel filtration chromatography. On the basis of their physico-chemical properties, they are acyltetramic acids that are easily distinguishable from others in this class. Catacandin A and catacandin B possess good an...

A new antibiotic capuramycin was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces griseus 446-S3 by adsorption and partition column chromatography. Based on its chemical structure being an uracil nucleoside with a caprolactam substituent, this substance was named as capuramycin. This paper describes the taxonomy of a producing organism, fermentation, isolation, characterization and biological...

Cellulose-binding domains (CBD) are modular peptides, present in many glycanases, which anchor these enzymes to the substrate. In this work, the effect of CBD adsorption on the surface properties of a model cellulose, Whatman CF11, was studied. The methods applied include inverse gas chromatography (IGC), ESCA, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The CBD partition affinit...

The implications arising from the distribution of offset ink components in a paper coating structure are presented. The work focuses on two mechanisms causing differential distribution of ink constituents, namely (a) adsorption chromatography, resulting from coating pigment chemistry and morphology variables, and (b) latex-oil diffusional interaction. Adsorption chromatographic fractionation an...

Peptides can be recovered from tissues by homogenization in a carefully selected extraction medium followed by adsorption from the supernatant on a small bed of octadecasilyl-silica. Recoveries of corticotropins and somatostatin added to a variety of tissues were quantitative, and the peptides undamaged as determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography.

Isotherms for the adsorption of KCl in PVOH-borate hydrogel was studied at 303 K by determining the amount of potassium and chloride ions adsorbed in PVOH-borate hydrogel using ion exchange chromatography and potentiometric titrations respectively. Experimental data was tested for Frendulich’s, Langmuir’s, Temkin’s and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms equations. The adsorption data follows isothe...

Liquid chromatography at critical conditions (LCCC) has been shown to be a powerful method for the separation of complex polymers regarding chemical composition, functionality, or molecular topology. LCCC has never been used, however, to separate polymers according to the degree of deuteration. This is a very challenging task since polymers shall be separated that are identical regarding molar ...
