two poly(oxyethylene) derivatives 1.10-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7,1-tetradecane (l1) and 1,7-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane (l2) were used as suitable ionophores for the preparation of potassium-selective pvc-membrane electrodes. the resulting electrodes based on l1 and l2 exhibit linear responses to the activity of k+ ions within the concentration ranges of 3.1´10-5 -2.7´10-2 m and 2...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the bes...

a total of 148 groundwater samples were collected from bore wells from thirumanimuttar sub-basin for two seasons to identify major geochemical process activated to alter groundwater chemistry. the study revealed relationships with the lithology and anthropogenic process. groundwater in the region was dominated by na – ca – mg and cl and hco3 types. the (ca +mg) versus tz+ plot for both seas...

the effect of chloride ions concentration on the electrochemical behavior of aisi 410 stainless steel in thesimulated concrete pore (0.1 m naoh + 0.1 m koh) solution was investigated by various electrochemicalmethods such as potentiodynamic polarization, mott–schottky analysis and electrochemical impedancespectroscopy (eis). potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that increasing chloride ...

in this study, the ion association phenomenon in the saturated solution of kcl in the mixed solvent(methanol+water) was studied. the solubility of this compound in the mixed solvent (methanol+water by value percent of methanol = 60%), and in the presence of various molarities of nano3 wasdetermined by the solvent evaporation method at 25.0°c. the results enable us to estimate the valueof thermo...

in this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (f¯, cl¯ and br¯) and ion pairs (na+f¯, na+cl¯ and na+br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (cp) composed of l-proline have been performed in the gas phase. in order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the cp and ions, dft-d3 calculations at the m05-2x-d3/6-31g(d) level was employed. based on t...

the effect of ph, different concentration of tween 80 and calcium ion on the stability of limonene-in-water emulsions stabilized by various concentration of sodium caseinate (2, 5 and 10%) was evaluated. to this end, emulsions were prepared by ultrasound and their quality attributes including size distribution, mean diameter of droplets, specific surface area and span number were studied as a r...

a binding study of nickel ions by a new recombinant human growth hormone (hgh), produced as an injected drug, has been done at 27˚c in nacl solution (50 mm) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for nickel ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 40 μm and -16.5 kj/mol, re...
