The effective ion-exchange capacities of ion-exchange materials were determined by measuring the change in the equilibrium conductivity of a column packed with analyte. The developed instrumental method can provide effective ion-exchange capacities for both cation and anion exchangers with simple operations. The cation-exchange capacity of a weak-acid cation-exchange resin (TSKgel SuperIC-Catio...

Freshly drawn heparinized human whole blood is exposed to x-rays in amounts up to 54,000 r in vitro and then equilibrated under a controlled atmosphere at 24 or 38 degrees C. For as long as 26 hours following exposure, potassium is progressively lost from the cells and quantitatively replaced by sodium with little, if any, osmotic disturbance. The mean rate of loss at 20,000 r and 24 degrees C....

[1] Predicting the transport of reactive chemicals in subsurface porous media requires accurate adsorption models. This study compares the ability of various cation exchange models to quantitatively capture the transport behavior of major cations (i.e., calcium and sodium) in soil laboratory columns over a wide range of pore water composition. Experimental breakthrough curves were compared with...

adsorption of cations al, zn, fe, cr and pb from aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide using ir-120 cation-exchange resin was studied. the removal percentage of the cations was examined by varying experimental conditions (such as ph of the hydrogen peroxide solution, temperature, contact time and dosage of adsorbent) in a stirred-batch system. under the optimal conditions (ph=1, t=25oc, contact...

in the asemi-gawa area of intermediate high-pressure and low-temperature sanbagawa metamorphic belt in central shikoku, japan, piemontite-quartz schists are common in which cation exchange between piemontite and garnet has been studied. piemontite in contact with garnet usually contains two zones in which core is enriched in mn3+ and surrounded by a rim rich in fe3+. garnet is ca-fe-bearing spe...

the functions employed in an estimation of costly measured soil properties from either widely available or more easily obtained basic soil properties are referred to as pedotransfer functions. to develop pedotransfer functions, one can use multivariate regression, neural networks and neuro-fuzzy models. to make a comparison among the mentioned models, 153 soil samples were collected from soils ...
