N-propylsalicylidene based on silica as ion exchanger (IE) was used for the separation by complexation of Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Cr3+, Fe3+, and UO22+ from their parent solutions. IE and its metal complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and infrared spectra, in addition to thermal analysis in atmospheric pressure. The mode of chelation and the proposed geometric str...

The construction and characterization of a new ion-selective electrode for the determination of the antipsychotic ziprasidone in mixed solvents is presented. The electrode contains a plasticized polymeric membrane based on a ziprasidone-tetraphenylborate ion-exchanger. The influence of membrane composition on the electrode response towards ziprasidone in hydroalcoholic solutions was studied. Th...

A fall in extracellular pH increased membrane conductance of the giant cell in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica. Chloride conductance was trebled whereas potassium conductance was increased by 50%. Half the giant cells were hyperpolarized (2-8 mv) and half were depolarized (3-10 mv) by lowering the pH. The hyperpolarizing response always became a depolarizing response in half-chlor...

A method for repeatable loading of propranolol hydrochloride as a model drug onto the ion exchanger Amberlite TM IRP69 was developed and different parameters for the loading process were evaluated due to their impact of the extent of loading. It was found that the extent of loading in equilibrium is widely independent of the experimental method used. However, a magnetic stirrer comminutes the i...

In this study, graphene Th(IV) phosphate was prepared by sol-gel precipitation method. The ion-exchange behavior of this cation-exchanger was studied by investigating properties like ion-exchange capacity for various metal ions, the effect of eluent concentration, elution behavior, and thermal effect on ion-exchange capacity (IEC). Several physicochemical properties as Fourier transform infrare...

The combined effect of both concentration and pressure differences on electrical potential (Ad~) for two ion-exchanger membranes, one positively charged (AE) and another negatively charged (CE), measured with the membranes in contact with NaCI solutions was studied. Results show a linear dependence between Adp and pressure, independently if AC and AP have the same or opposite directions. The ra...

In this research work, ZnO nanotubes were fabricated on a gold coated glass substrate through chemical etching by the aqueous chemical growth method. For the first time a nanostructure-based iodide ion selective electrode was developed. The ZnO nanotubes were functionalized with miconazole ion exchanger and the electromotive force (EMF) was measured by the potentiometric method. The iodide ion ...

Complexometric titrations rely on a drastic change of the pM value at the equivalence point with a water soluble chelator forming typically 1 : 1 complexes of high stability. The available chemical toolbox of suitable chelating compounds is unfortunately limited because many promising complexing agents are not water soluble. We introduce here a novel class of complexometric titration reagents, ...

A novel hydrothermal zirconium oxide (ZrO2) ion exchange material was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal technique. The material has been characterized using different tools such as thermal analysis (DTA-TGA), FT-IR and X-ray diffraction studies. The results show that the prepared ZrO2 is pure and with a unique shape and it belongs to the hexagonal system. Chemical resistively of the mate...

1 A theoretical treatment of potentiometric data is applied to calculate coextraction 2 constants (K IA) for three potassium salts from water into a liquid nitrobenzene phase. 3 The experiment involves treating nitrobenzene as a membrane and contacting it with 4 two aqueous solutions of different ion activities. In the presence of either a cation or 5 anion exchanger, the ratio of activities of...
