Agricultural by-products are generally poor adsorbents of anions in solution. Therefore, modification of the by-product could enhance its anion exchange capabilities. The objective of this study was to increase the anion exchange properties of the agricultural by-product, soybean hulls, by chemical modification. Soybean hulls were quaternized with the quaternizing agent, N-(3-chloro-2hydroxypro...

Organotin cations (R3Sn+) form electrically neutral ion pairs with monovalent anions. It is demonstrated that the tin derivatives induce exchange diffusion of chloride in red cells and resealed ghosts, without any detectable increase of membrane permeability to net movements of chloride ions. The obligatory anion exchange is believed to be due to the permeation of electroneural ion pairs, where...

When human erythrocytes are suspended in low-Cl- media (with sucrose replacing Cl-), there is a large increase in both the net efflux and permeability of K+. A substantial portion (greater than 70% with Cl- less than 12.5 mM) of this K+ efflux is inhibited by the anion exchange inhibitor DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid). This inhibition cannot be explained as an effect of...

Anion exchange contributes significantly to intestinal Cl(-) absorption in marine teleost fish and is thus vital for successful osmoregulation. This anion exchange process leads to high luminal HCO(3)(-) concentrations (up to approximately 100 mmol l(-1)) and high pH and results in the formation of CaCO(3) precipitates in the intestinal lumen. Recent advances in our understanding of the transpo...

In present research work, homogeneous anion exchange membranes based on polysulfone (QAPSFs) were prepared via chloromethylation, amination and alkalization. In amination step, trimethylamine and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine were used as amination and crosslinking agents, respectively. The chloromethylated polysulfone was characterized by 1HNMR spectroscopy and chloromethylation degr...

Anion exchange membrane (AEM) is one of the most important components in anion water electrolyzer (AEMWE) and fuel cell (AEMFC). Herein, challenges corresponding strategies AEM development are summarized to provide valuable predictions for advancement hydrogen-electricity energy conversion devices.

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 ...

Despite commonly being used as the hosts for gases, solvents and other neutral molecules, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received recent attention supramolecular anion binding with a broad range of environmental biological applications. The review summarizes development this area, anion-binding MOFs categorized based on different design strategies including cationic anion-exchange capabil...

Anion exchange membranes are highly versatile and nowadays have many applications, ranging from water treatment to sensing materials. The preparation of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) from brominated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,6-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) and methyl(diphenyl)phosphine (MDPP) for electrodialysis was performed. The physiochemical properties and electrochemical performance of fabricated me...
