Ammonium sulfide ((NH4)2S) exhibits high reactivity as a sulfide reagent in anion exchange reactions that transform CoO to cobalt sulfide nanoparticles (NPs). The faster diffusion of Co(2+) and O(2-) than the incoming S(2-) during the anion exchange causes a significant expansion of the NP voids. The low temperature (70 °C) anion exchange reaction produces amorphous cobalt sulfide NPs with Co :...

The article investigates the sorption method of concentrating rare metals on various sorbents (brands “Purolight”: A-100, A-170, A-172 and BO-020) determines optimal conditions for their extraction. It is shown that extraction molybdenum sorbent “Purolight A-100” was 98%. proposed mechanism consists in formation complexes with functional phosphor basics sulfate groups sorbents. Sorption rhenium...

A major problem encountered in the large-scale purification of the bivalent anti-T cell immunotoxin, A-dmDT390-bisFv(G4S), from Pichia pastoris supernatants was the presence of host glycoproteins exhibiting similar charge, size, and hydrophobicity characteristics. We overcame this problem by employing borate anion exchange chromatography. The borate anion has an affinity for carbohydrates and i...

BACKGROUND The thorough understanding of the physiological and pathological processes mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs) is challenged by purification methods which are cumbersome, not reproducible, or insufficient to yield homogeneous material. Chromatography based on both ion-exchange and immune-capture can represent an effective method to improve EV purification and successive analysis...

This work reports the self-assembly of anion-exchangeable vesicles from an amphiphilic hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquid (HBPIL). By a simple one-step anion exchange with methyl orange, the obtained HBPILs could self-assemble into pH-indicative and colorful vesicles in water with color changes directly visible to the naked eye in response to solution pH. In addition, by another step of anion...

Adenovirus vectors (rAd) are widely used in gene therapy to deliver genes of interest. It is therefore essential to develop a purification process that clears the adenovirus of undesired contaminants while purifying high titre stock adenovirus. The current standard method of purification uses a CsCl density gradient, which is formed during centrifugation. The limitations of this procedure inclu...

Polyethersulfone (PES)-based anion exchange blend membranes were prepared from quaternized-PES (Q-PES) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) casting solutions with water as coagulant via non-solvent induced phase inversion. The compatibility of the blend system was investigated through thermodynamic studies while membrane formation was determined using the cloud point techni...

In the current research, polyvinylchloride based mixed matrix heterogeneous anion exchange membranes were prepared by a solution casting technique. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were also utilized as inorganic filler additive in the membrane fabrication. The effect of TiO2 nanoparticles concentration in the casting solution on the membrane physico-chemical properties was studied. Membrane wate...

Strong base anion-exchange resins represent an important option for water utilities and homeowners to address growing concerns with nitrate, arsenate, and perchlorate contamination of source waters. Most commercially available anion-exchange resins employ quaternary amine functional groups. Previous research has provided contradictory evidence regarding whether these resins serve as sources of ...
