E’evated polyamine concentrations in human urine and serum appear to be associated with the presence of many types of cancer. The automated amino acid analyzer lends itself to the rapid separation and measurement of these substances with little sample handling and excellent reproducibility. The ion-exchange resin used was Beckman’s PA-35 (strong sulfonic acid cation exchanger, copolymerization ...

A combination of ion exchange and membrane extraction successfully recovered cadmium and cyanide from simulated cadmium-cyanide rinsewaters. The ion exchange loading was most effective at cyanidetocadmium molar ratios of 4:l or less; when the molar ratio exceeded 4:1, cadmiumcyanlde complexes caused a chromatographic displacement of free cyanide from the resin. Cyanide-to-cadmium molar ratios i...

Various organic solutions are used in many industries such as the petrochemical industry. The presence of moisture in those solvents results in poor insulation, corrosion of apparatus and catalyst poisoning. Therefore, the moisture content of the solvents must be reduced to less than several ppm. Since ion exchange resins have an ability to adsorb selectively polar substances fromnonpolar solve...

An improved method is described for the separation of 22 compounds normally related to purine and 6-thiopurine metabolism in biological materials using high-pressure liquid cation-exchange chromatography on strongly acidic exchange resin. The column (0.8 X 100 cm) is eluted with 0.4 M ammonium formate, pH 4.6, at a linear flow velocity of 5.2 cm.min--1 at 50 degrees C. The elution volumes of su...

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...

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 ...

1. Respiration and fermentation of yeast receiving 90,000 r of 250 kv. x-rays were studied under a variety of conditions. This dose will nearly completely inhibit growth or colony formation. 2. The apparent effects of irradiation are quite dependent on the K(+) and H(+) of the suspending medium. At pH 4.5 stimulatory effects were observed in KH(2)PO(2) buffer and inhibition in potassium-free (T...

The present study is aimed to develop dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXM) oral disintegrating tablets (ODT) with acceptable palatability to help patients of all age groups. The bitter taste of the drug was masked by binding the drug to ion exchange resin. The effect of the particle size of resin on drug loading was studied. In vitro and in vivo disintegration time and in vitro drug release stud...

Recycling treatment of cable insulation resin generated from electric wires and cables was investigated. Conventional insulation PVC contains a lead component, tribase, as a thermal stabilizer and lead removal is necessary to recycle this PVC as insulation resin. This paper describes a solid surface adsorption method using ion exchange resin to remove the fine lead containing particles from PVC...

MAGEE. T. V., and D. F. ZINKEL. 1986. A rapid method for diterpene resin acid analysis of pine needle oleoresin. Can. J. For. Res. 16: 1107-1109. A method for diterpene resin acid analysis has been developed for pine oleoresin samples at the submilligram level. The method utilizes the removal of acidic components by a micro-DEAE-Sephadex ion-exchange column and analysis of the recovered resin a...
