Thirty-four edematous cardiac patients who were being treated with cation exchange resin were studied for its long term effectiveness and for clinical and chemical complications. In 23 of 27 patients the resin was effective in terms of mobilizing edema fluid previously refractory to other forms of treatment, of partial or complete substitution for mercurial diuretics, and of permitting a slight...

The use of alkyl levulinates is growing interest in fuels. Adding n-butyl levulinate (BL) to fuels presents some benefits compared ethyl levulinate. conventional production route BL from the esterification levulinic acid, but latter compound corrosion issues. Alcoholysis fructose by butanol over cation exchange resins (solid catalyst) seems be a better alternative. effect water addition, solven...

Ion-exclusion/cation-exchange chromatography (IEC/CEC) on a weakly acidic cation-exchange resin using on acidic eluent, developed by Tanaka et al. in 1994, has been employed to monitor the quality of environmental water samples such as acid rainwater and river water, to analyze body fluid samples such as saliva, and to evaluate water purification by photocatalytic materials.1–8 One advantage of...

This paper introduces a new off-line sample preparation that eliminates carbohydrates from amino acid samples containing a high carbohydrate content before analysis by anion-exchange chromatography and integrated pulsed amperometric detection. First, the sample is introduced into a cation-exchange column in the hydrogen form. Carbohydrates are removed completely using 0.02% formic acid as a tra...

this article presents the method of extraction-preconcentration of lead, cadmium, and nickel ions from food samples using the ghezeljeh montmorillonite nanoclay (geleh-sar-shoor) as a new native adsorbent in batch single component systems. the extraction-preconcentration of heavy metals were carried out by applying the solid phase extraction (spe) method followed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

cation exchange capacity and specific surface area are among some of the important soil characteristics the direct measurement of which is laborious, costly and time consuming. therefore, fractal dimension of particle size distribution has been widely studied in relation with many such dynamic and static processes as transmission of water and solutes, water holding capacity, heat storage and co...

The amino acid composition of twice recrystallized pepsin (Worthington Biochemical Corporation) has been determined chromatographically on columns of Amberlite IR 120 resin. The results of the analyses obtained on four different preparations indicate a close agreement in their amino acid composition. Pepsin is unique in that it has a great predominance of acidic amino acids over basic ones. Mor...

The separation and quantitative measurement of aminoacids by ion-exchange chromatography has been in use for many years ]. However, the value of this method is limited by the time required for the analysis: 6 to 23 h. Other methods, such as gas chromatography, give results more rapidly, but do not allow the separation of all amino-acids [2]. The development of cation-exchange resins, capable of...

A highly robust immobilized [Cp*IrCl2]2 precatalyst on Wang resin for transfer hydrogenation, which can be recycled up to 30 times, was studied using a novel combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at Ir L3-edge, Cl K-edge, and K K-edge. These culminate in in situ XAS experiments that link structural changes of the Ir complex with its catalytic activity and its deactivation. Mercury ...
