Abstract Soil testing laboratories across the United States have implemented Mehlich‐3 (M3) extraction method for phosphorus (P) and other nutrients. Though M3 is known to work well as a multinutrient extractant, it raises concerns measuring exchangeable cations, particularly in calcareous soils. The objectives of this study were (a) evaluate an extractant base cations Kansas soils, (b) identif...

the reported work is on the preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol -g- polyacrylic acid (pva-g-paa)/ polybenzimidazole sulfone (pbis) cation exchange membrane used for the electro dialysis of sodium chloride solution. the polymer syrup has been prepared using the grafting method with the help of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid in the presence of water solvent. the polymer ...

The spatial variability of the K and n parameters of the Freundlich sorption isotherm for f atrazine and their correlation with soil textural variables, cation exchange capacity and organic carbon content were studied in a stagnic podzoluvisol. Ninety-three sample points were organized on an irregular three-dimensional grid to a depth of 3.2 m. A trend in the vertical direction explains, for mo...

Herein, we report on the fabrication of a device for removing cations of an anti-analyte ion contained in a sample and an eluent under an electric field. The space in which the electrode is set on both sides of the device is separated into three cells using anion and cation exchange membranes. Each of the cells is packed with either an anion or cation exchange resin. Cation removal is perfor...

A High Cation Exchange Capacity (HCM) montmorillonite clay has been prepared by acetate treatment of Zenith clay. The HCM has been evaluated for metal-uptake from aqueous solutions. The present data show that the cation exchange sites can play a significant role in the adsorption of metals in smectite clays. A theoretical analysis scheme has been developed which shows that permanent-charge site...

the sorption and desorption behaviors of eu(iii) from aqueous solutions with cation exchange resins containing carboxyl groups (d155 resin) were studied in terms of varied eu(iii) concentration, adsorbent dosage, ph, contact time and temperature. batch shaking sorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of d155 resin in the removal of eu(iii) from aqueous solutions. the lo...

abstract plant nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsltps) are divided into nsltp1 and nsltp2. the existence of an internal hydrophobic cavity, is a typical characteristic of nsltps that serves as the binding site for lipid substrates. in this communication a simple, rapid and low-cost alternative method was developed for purification of nsltp2 from rice paddy. after extracting, final supernat...
