Microstructural analysis is central to understand and predict the performance degradation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) materials. Advanced electron x-ray 3-D microscopy methods are needed characterize reticulate structures forming catalyst, gas diffusion layer/ microporous layers. The high-throughput dual beam scanning microscope allows imaging such layers with a spatial resolu...

A series of hydrogels as biosorbents to remove heavy metal ions (Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+) were prepared using Radix Isatidis residues material grafted with acrylic acid acrylamide. The surfaces residue/acrylic acid-co-acrylamide (RIR/AA-co-AM), residue/polyacrylamide (RIR/PAM3), residue/polyacrylic (RIR/PAA4) have a sponge-like, three-dimensional, highly microporous structure. all considerable swe...

The title salt, C8H11N2O(+)·NO3(-), was synthesized by a reaction between 4-meth-oxy-benzamidine (4-amidino-anisole) and nitric acid. The asymmetric unit comprises a non-planar 4-meth-oxy-benzamidinium cation and a nitrate anion. In the cation, the amidinium group has two similar C-N bond lengths [1.302 (3) and 1.313 (3) Å] and its plane forms a dihedral angle of 32.66 (5)° with the mean plane ...

Nanocomposite cation exchange membranes (CEMs) were prepared by adding various amounts of functionalized silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles to the sulfonated polyethersulfone (sPES) polymeric matrix. The particles were synthesized first by the co-precipitation method (M0). Different surface modifications were then carried out on them by grafting three functional groups of mercaptopropyl, pro...

Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...

Tetrahydroxyfenestrindane undergoes HPF6-catalyzed condensation with anisole, 2-methylanisole and the three dimethoxybenzenes to furnish several centrohexaindanes bearing oxyfunctionalization at the opposite ends of one of the three [2,2']-spirobiindane axes.

lead, copper, cobalt, nickel, iron and zinc ions form monocitrate complexes (negative charge) in citrate solution which is absorbed on the citrate form of anion-exchange resins (citrate as counter ion) y exchange of citrate ion with citrate complexes. these are subsequently recovered from the resin by 0.5m ammonium citrate eluent at ph 2.0. under optimized conditions, quantitative recovery was ...

The aim of this study was to remove Cd by ion-exchange resin Amberjet 1200H in flow condition. The adsorption characteristics of metal onto the resin were accurately described by Freundlich isotherms. The ion exchange of cadmium on resin follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. Ion exchange capacities of the cadmium on the ion exchange resin was studied in metal solution. The capacities of sorptio...
