Hepatic organic cation transport consists, in part, of carrier-mediated sinusoidal uptake stimulated by an inside-negative membrane potential and canalicular excretion driven by electroneutral organic cation/H+ exchange. Intracellular organic cation transport involves sequestration into acidified organelles, also mediated by organic cation/H+ exchange. A sinusoidal organic cation transporter ha...

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...

In studies of cation-binding by acid mucopolysaccharides and the possible significance of these reactions in calcification processes, it has been shown, in cartilage, that the chondroitin sulphate component is solely responsible for the cation-binding capacity, that the cation-binding reactions are of the ion-exchange type and that different cations exhibit varying degrees of affinity for the c...

Ion transport properties of grape root lipids were measured as liquid-membrane permeability. Phosphatidylcholine exchanged chloride very slowly against carbonate and bicarbonate but more rapidly against nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate. Exchange of chloride against nitrate was rather low for the phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine lipid fractions; monogalactose diglyceride was by fa...

Podzols are highly sandy soils, in which elements, such as potassium, needed by crops, easily leached. Studies have indicated that biochar can contribute to increasing cation exchange capacity of the soil, improve retention bases. This study aimed evaluate effect poultry litter combined or not with doses KCl, on leaching and soil base content, production green manure biomass, distribution K [...]

An ion-exchange resin containing carboxylic acid groups was prepared by reaction of epoxidized soybean oil with triethylene tetramine, followed by hydrolysis of glycerides by using sodium hydroxide solution. The cation exchange capacity of the resins was determined to be 3.50 mequiv/g. The adsorption capacity for Cu , Ni , and Co on the obtained resin at pH 5.0 was found to be 192, 96, and 78 m...

A low-capacity cation-exchange column was newly developed for the separation of amino acids. A highly cross-linked macro-porous polystyrene-divinylbenzene co-polymer was functionalized by a sulfoacylation reaction. The exchange capacity was controllable at the acylation step. The capacity between 55 and 60 micromol/column was adequate for the practical separations in acceptable retention times....

Cation exchange is an interfacial process during which cations on a clay surface are replaced by other cations. This study investigates the effect of oil type and composition on cation exchange on rock surfaces, relevant for a variety of oil-recovery processes. We perform experiments in which brine with a different composition than that of the in situ brine is injected into cores with and witho...
