Implications from protein uptake kinetics onto dextran-grafted Sepharose FF coupled with ion exchange and affinity ligands

Our previous studies have reported the presence of "chain delivery" effects of protein adsorption onto ion exchangers with polymer-grafted ion-exchange groups, such as dextran-grafted and poly(ethylenimine)-modified Sepharose gels. However, it is unclear if the "chain delivery" occurs on affinity adsorption with specific interactions. This work is designed to address this issue. A dextran-grafted Sepharose gel was prepared, and then the matrix was modified using diethylaminoethyl, a typical ion-exchange group, or octapeptide(FYCHWQDE), an affinity ligand for human immunoglobulin G(h Ig G) to prepare ion-exchange or affinity adsorbents, respectively.Results of h Ig G adsorption showed that the uptake rate represented by the effective diffusivity of h Ig G onto the dextran-grafted ion exchangers was obviously enhanced by the dextran grafting, indicating the presence of"chain delivery" of the bound proteins on the charged groups on the dextran chains. By contrast, the effective diffusivity of h Ig G changed little as ligand density increased on the dextran-grafted FYCHWQDE adsorbents.Their adsorption capacities decreased and effective diffusivities were not accelerated by the dextran grafting.Thus, this work clarified that grafted dextran could not accelerate h Ig G uptake rate on the affinity resins, or in other words, chain delivery did not occur on the specific interaction-based affinity adsorption.

Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics studies of divalent manganese from phosphoric acid solution by using cationic exchange resin

There are numerous impurities in wet-process phosphoric acid,among which manganese is one of detrimental metallic impurities,and it causes striking negative effects on the industrial phosphoric acid production and downstream commodity.This article investigated the adsorption behavior of manganese from phosphoric acid employing Sinco-430 cationic ion-exchange resin.Resorting FT-IR and XPS characterizations,the adsorption mechanism was proved to be that manganese was combined with sulfonic acid group.Several crucial parameters such as temperature,phosphoric acid content and resin dose were studied to optimize adsorption efficiency.Through optimization,removal percentage and sorption capacity of manganese reached 53.12 wt%,28.34 mg·g^-1,respectively.Pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model simulated kinetics data best and the activation energy was evaluated as 6.34 kJ·mol^-1 for the sorption reaction of manganese.In addition,the global adsorption rate was first controlled by film diffusion process and second determined by pore diffusion process.It was found that the resin could adsorb up to 50.24 mg·g^-1 for manganese.Equilibrium studies showed that Toth adsorption isotherm model fitted best,followed by Temkin and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models.Thermodynamic analysis showed that manganese adsorption was an endothermic process with enhanced randomness and spontaneity.

Exchange Reaction Between Selenite and Hydroxyl Ion of Variable Charge Soil Surfaces: Ⅱ. Kinetics of Hydroxyl Release

A self-made constant pH automated titration instrument was used to study thekinetics of hydroxyl release during selenite reacting with variable charge soils. The rate ofhydroxyl release was very rapid at the first several minutes, then gradually slowed down, and atlast did not change any more. The experimental data was well fitted by the Langmuir kineticequation, arid with increasing selenite concentration or decreasing solution pH, the reaction lastedlonger, the maximum of hydroxyl release (x_m) increased, and the binding constant (k) decreased.The time of hydroxyl release with Xuwen latosol was much longer than that with Jinxian red soil.

Ion Exchange Adsorption Kinetics of Miglitol by D001 Resins

In order to explore internal factors for adsorption kinetic effect of miglitol by D001 resin, a batch adsorption operation for miglitol kinetic adsorption at different concentrations, temperatures and vibrating rates was investigated in oscillator (SHZ-A), respectively. The different kinetic mathematical model, Webber-Morris kinetic equation, film diffusion coefficient equation and kinetic boundary model were all applied to discuss the adsorption process. The results showed that Type 1 pseudo-second order kinetic equation can be all used to describe miglitol adsorbed by D001 resin at different concentrations, temperatures and vibrating rates. Moreover, the total activation energy (Ea) can be calculated and its value is 9.7 kJ/mol, and then calculated values of the process film diffusion coefficient and pore diffusion coefficient, it may be inferred from these gotten values that the ion exchange process is all mainly controlled by film diffusion. Therefore, the results also suggest that the external adsorption factors such as solute concentration, temperature and vibrating rate for effect of mass transfer diffusion process control of miglitol onto D001 resin are relatively weak.

Theoretical Study on the Mass Transfer of Metal Ions in Ion Exchange Process

The kinetics of ion exchange between Ca2+, Mg2+, Co(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ),Ni(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ), y3+ or Sm3+ , respectively, in 0.50 mol/L HC1 and H+ on macrorecticular sulfonic ion exchange resin and the kinetics of the same reactions (M -H exchange) when Mn(Ⅱ) coexisted in resin phase as accelerating ion were studied. The accelerating effect manifested and its rule are consistent with the accelerating effect theory based on the concept concerned with adsorption electrical double layer which has been suggested in a previous paper published.

Biosorption of copper ions from dilute aqueous solutions on base treated rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) leaves powder: kinetics, isotherm, and biosorption mechanisms

The effciency of sodium hydroxide treated rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) leaves powder (NHBL) for removing copper ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated. The e?ects of physicochemical parameters on biosorption capacities such as stirring speed, pH, biosorbent dose, initial concentrations of copper, and ionic strength were studied. The biosorption capacities of NHBL increased with increase in pH, stirring speed and copper concentration but decreased with increase in biosorbent dose and ionic strength. The isotherm study indicated that NHBL fitted well with Langmuir model compared to Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The maximum biosorption capacity determined from Langmuir isotherm was 14.97 mg/g at 27°C. The kinetic study revealed that pseudo- second order model fitted well the kinetic data, while Boyd kinetic model indicated that film diffusion was the main rate determining step in biosorption process. Based on surface area analysis, NHBL has low surface area and categorized as macroporous. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses revealed that hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino are the main functional groups involved in the binding of copper ions. Complexation was one of the main mechanisms for the removal of copper ions as indicated by FT-IR spectra. Ion exchange was another possible mechanism since the ratio of adsorbed cations (Cu2+ and H+) to the released cations (Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) from NHBL was almost unity. Copper ions bound on NHBL were able to be desorbed at > 99% using 0.05 mol/L HCl, 0.01 mol/L HNO3, and 0.01 mol/L EDTA solutions.

Direct extraction of Mo(VI) from acidic leach solution of molybdenite ore by ion exchange resin:Batch and column adsorption studies

The adsorption behavior of ion exchange resin D301 in the extraction of hexavalent molybdenum from high acidic leach solution was investigated. SEM, EDS and Raman spectra analyses were applied to studying the adsorption capacity, reaction kinetics and possible adsorption mechanism in detail. Results showed that the adsorption capacity of D301 resin for molybdenum from high acidic leach solution was up to 463.63 mg/g. Results of the kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was controlled by the particle diffusion with the activation energy 25.47 k J/mol（0.9-1.2 mm） and 20.38 k J/mol（0.6-0.9 mm）. Furthermore, the molybdenum loaded on the resin could be eluted by using 2 mol/L ammonia hydroxide solution. Besides, dynamic continuous column experiments verified direct extraction of molybdenum from acidic leach solutions by ion exchange resin D301 and the upstream flow improved dynamic continuous absorption.

Adsorption behavior of Sb(Ⅲ) in single and binary Sb(Ⅲ)-Fe(Ⅱ) systems on cationic ion exchange resin: Adsorption equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic aspects

The present study dealt with the mechanism of competitive adsorption of Sb(Ⅲ)and Fe(Ⅱ)ions from a copper-containing aqueous solution on Purolite S957,a commercially available cationic ion-exchange adsorbent.Experiments were conducted using aqueous copper sulfate solutions containing either single or conjoint ions,using both sedentary and batch adsorption techniques to ascertain the sensitivity of the adsorption process to variation in p H,mass of resin,contact time,and temperature as well as establishing the optimal range of variables for maximum ion removal.The data from single ion adsorption tests were fitted by non-linear regression techniques to Henry,Langmuir,Freundlich,Temkin,and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models.Freundlich isotherm for Sb(Ⅲ)and Freundlich and Henry models for Fe(Ⅱ)solutions best express the adsorption equilibrium data;while for binary ion electrolytes,the extended Freundlich model fitted the data satisfactorily.The kinetic model adequately describing adsorption was shown to be the pseudo-first-order,underscoring the dominant role of physical adsorption playing in the process.Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption process reveal differences in the Sb(Ⅲ)adsorption mechanism from single ion and Sb(Ⅲ)-Fe(Ⅱ)containing electrolytes.The adsorption of Sb(Ⅲ)alone is endothermic,whereas the process becomes exothermic in the Sb(Ⅲ)-Fe(Ⅱ)system.

Kinetic Study of Esterification of Lactic Acid with Isobutanol and n-Butanol Catalyzed by Ion-exchange Resins

The esterification reactions of lactic acid with isobutanol and n-butanol have been studied in the presence of acid ion-exchange resin Weblyst D009. The influences of catalyst loading, stirrer speed, catalyst particle size, initial reactant molar ratio and temperature on the reaction rate have been examined. Experimental kinetic data were correlated by using the pseudo-homogeneous, Langnluir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal models. Nonideality of the liquid phase was taken into account by using activities instead of molar fractions. The activity coefficients were calculated according to the group contribution method UNIFAC. Provided that the nonideality of the liquid is taken into account, the esterification kinetics of lactic acid with isobutanol and n-butanol catalyzed by the acid ion-exchange resin can be described using all threemodels with reasonable errors.

Lysozyme adsorption to cation exchanger derivatized by sequential modification of poly(ethylenimine)-Sepharose with succinic anhydride and ethanolamine: Effect of p H and ionic strength

In our previous work, a series of polyethylenimine(PEI)-derived cation exchangers were synthesized using PEIgrafted resin FF-PEI-L740(ionic capacity, 740 mmol·L^-1) as the basic resin to study lysozyme adsorption and chromatographic behavior. It was found that the resin with an ionic capacity of 630 mmol·L^-1(FF-PEI-CR630)possessed high adsorption performance towards lysozyme at 0–100 mmol·L^-1 Na Cl. Therefore, in this work,FF-PEI-CR630 was selected to study the influences of pH and ionic strength(IS) on protein adsorption and chromatographic behavior towards lysozyme. The increase of lysozyme adsorption capacity in the pH range of 6 to 10 was observed. However, the uptake rate decreased in the pH range of 6 to 8 and then remained essentially unchanged from pH 8 to pH 10. Increasing IS led to decreased protein adsorption capacity and increased uptake rate in different pH ranges. Besides, FF-PEI-CR630 maintained dynamic binding capacity as high as over150 mg·ml^-1 at pH 8–10 without NaCl. The research has thus provided insight into the selection of proper pH and IS conditions for protein purification by using FF-PEI-CR630.

Taste masking of ciprofloxacin by ion-exchange resin and sustain release at gastric-intestinal through interpenetrating polymer network

The aim of the study was to taste mask ciprofloxacin(CP)by using ion-exchange resins(IERs)followed by sustain release of CP by forming interpenetrating polymer network(IPN).IERs based on the copolymerization of acrylic acid with different cross linking agents were synthesised.Drug-resin complexes(DRCs)with three different ratios of drug to IERs(1:1,1:2,1:4)were prepared&evaluated for taste masking by following in vivo and in vitro methods.Human volunteers graded ADC 1:4,acrylic acid-divinyl benzene(ADC-3)resin as tasteless.Characterization studies such as FTIR,SEM,DSC,P-XRD differentiated ADC 1:4,from physical mixture(PM 1:4)and confirmed the formation of complex.In vitro drug release of ADC 1:4 showed complete release of CP within 60 min at simulated gastric fluid(SGF)i.e.pH 1.2.IPN beads were prepared with ADC 1:4 by using sodium alginate(AL)and sodium alginate-chitosan(AL-CS)for sustain release of CP at SGF pH and followed by simulated intestinal fluid(SIF i.e.pH 7.4).FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of IPN beads.The release of CP was sustain at SGF pH(<20%)whereas in SIF media it was more(>75%).The kinetic model of IPN beads showed the release of CP was non-Fickian diffusion type.

Reaction kinetics for the heterogeneously resin-catalyzed and homogeneously self-catalyzed esterification of thioglycolic acid with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol

Producing 2-ethyl-1-hexyl thioglycolate(ETE)via esterification reaction with thioglycolic acid(TGA)aqueous solution as raw material by reactive-separation coupling technology is a promising process intensification method.To choose suitable reactive-separation coupling strategy,the kinetic studies of the esterification of TGA with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol(EHL)were carried out in a batch system.The commercial ion exchange resin was employed as an eco-friendly catalyst.The effects of temperature,catalyst concentration and molar ratio were determined.It was interesting to observe that the equilibrium conversion of TGA increased with the increase of catalyst mass fraction due to the adsorption of product water onto resin surface.The activity-based pseudo-homogeneous(PH),Eley-Rideal(ER)and Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Ho ugen-Watson(LHHW)models were used to fit the kinetics data of the resin-catalyzed reaction.The models of ER and LHHW performed better than the PH model.The kinetics of the TGA-self-catalyzed reaction was also determined.An activity-based homogeneous kinetics model could well describe this self-catalyzed reaction.These results would be meaningful to the selection and design of an appropriate reactionseparation strategy for the production of ETE,to realize the process intensification.

Protein adsorption onto diethylaminoethyl dextran modified anion exchanger:Effect of ionic strength and column behavior

Our previous studies on bovine serum albumin （BSA） adsorption to diethylaminoethyl dextran （DEAE dextran, DexD, grafting-ligand） and DEAE （D, surface-ligand） modified Sepharose FF resins found that all the grafted resins （FF-DexD and FF-D-DexD） exhibited extremely fast uptake rate （effective diffusivity, De, De/Do 〉 1.4）, which was six times greater than the ungrafted resins （De/Do 〈 0.3）. In this work, the influence of ionic strength （IS） on 6 typical DEAE dextran-grafted resins was investigated. Bath adsorption equilibria and kinetics, breakthrough, and linear gradient elution experiments were conducted. Commercial DEAE Sepharose FF was used for comparison. It is found that protein adsorption capacities on DEAE dextran-FF resins and the commercial resin decreased with increasing IS, but DEAE dextran-FF resins exhibited much higher capacity sensitivity to salt concentration. Besides, steeper decrease of adsorption capacities could be obtained at higher graftingligand or surface-ligand density. It is worth noting that the facilitating role of surface-ligand to the ＂chain delivery＂ effect was weakened after adding salt, leading to the less improvement in uptake rate by increasing surface-ligand density at higher IS. Although the uptake rates of the DEAE dextran-FF resins increased first and then decreased with increasing fS, they kept the extremely high level of De values （De/Do 〉 1.1 ） at the their working/binding IS range. Moreover, the DEAE dextran-FF resin displayed much higher adsorption capacities and De values than commercial ungrafted resin in their working condition. Furthermore, the column results of DEAE dextran-FF resins presented higher dynamic binding capacities than and similar elution ISs with DEAE Sepharose FF to achieve similar （or even higher） recoveries suggest the excellent chromatographic column performance of the DEAE dextran-FF resins. Finally, both high recovery and purity of BSA and γ-globulin could be easily achieved using the typical DEAE dextran-FF column, FF-D60-DexD160, to separate their binary mixtures, by step gradient elution. The research has provided new insights into the practical application of the series of DEAE-dextran grafted resins in protein chromatography and proved their superiority.

Separation of indium(Ⅲ), gallium(Ⅲ), and zinc(Ⅱ) with Levextrel resin containing di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (CL-P204): Part Ⅱ. Mechanism and kinetics of adsorbing indium(Ⅲ)

The mechanism of adsorbing indium(Ⅲ) from sulfate solutions with CL-P204Levextrel resin containing di(-2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid was examined by batch operation andinfrared spectra. The results showed that the P204 adsorbed on the resin behaved in the similar wayto solvent extraction except that it was as a monomer in resin adsorbing but in dimeric form insolvent extraction. Three factors including temperature, indium(Ⅲ) concentration of solution, andthe size of resin particles which influence the In^(3+)/H^+ exchange on CL-P204 Levextrel resin wereinvestigated by the modified limited batch technique in order to determine the kinetics ofIn^(3+)/H^+ exchange. It was found that the rate of ion exchange increased with the temperature andthe concentration of solution increasing and with the size of the resin particles decreasing.According to the expression developed by Boyd et al., the controlling factor of In^(3+)/H^+ exchangeon CL-P204 Levextrel resin was the diffusion through the resin particles. The effective diffusioncoefficient, activation energy, and entropy of activation in the particle-diffusion were determinedas 1.57 x 10^(-10) m^2/s, 11.9 kJ/mol, -84.1 J/(mol·K), respectively.

Arsenate Removal by Iron-Modified Ion Exchange Fiber

The adsorption characteristics of arsenate on ion exchange fiber(IEF) and iron-modified ion exchange fiber(FeIEF) were evaluated.Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to study the arsenate adsorption effect by varying contact time,pH,and coexisting anions.Adsorption capacity was found to increase by increasing the contact time and acidic conditions were favorable for arsenate adsorption on IEF and Fe-IEF.Arsenate adsorption data were better consistent with Freundlich equation than Langmuir equation.The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities were 285 and 333 mg/g at 25℃ for IEF and Fe-IEF respectively.The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model.The existence of HCO 3-,PO34-,SO24-,SiO23-,and NO 3-decreased the arsenate adsorption capacity on IEF.Cl-and F-had little influence on it.When FeIEF was adopted,the effects of HCO 3-,SO24-,Cl-,SiO23-,and NO 3-were negligible,while PO43-could still markedly decrease the adsorption capacity and F-had inhibitory effect on arsenate adsorption.Fe-IEF can be used as a highly selective and efficient sorbent for removal of arsenate from aqueous solutions.

Adsorption behavior of molybdenum onto D314 ion exchange resin

The adsorption behavior of molybdenum onto D314 was studied with the static adsorption method. The adsorption process was analyzed from thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. The experimental results show that the equilibrium adsorption data conform satisfactorily to the Langmuir equation. In the adsorption process of D314 for molybdenum, the enthalpy change ΔH is positive when temperature is in the range of 298-338 K, which indicates that the adsorption is an endothermic process, and the elevated temperature benefits to the adsorption. Kinetic analysis shows that the adsorption rate is controlled by intraparticle diffusion and chemical diffusion at the same time. The adsorption mechanism of molybdenum onto D314 was discussed based on IR spectra.

Efficient conversion of CO_(2) into cyclic carbonates under atmospheric by halogen and metal-free poly(ionic liquid)s

A novel series of halogen free, hydroxyl group containing poly(ionic liquid)s(PILs) was first synthesized from glycerol dimethyl acrylate(GDA) and 1-vinyl imidazole(1-VIM) through free radical polymerization, follow by an alkylation step and an ion-exchange procedure to form the final imidazolium hydrogen carbonate heterogenous catalyst poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n). The chemical and physical properties were investigated by varying the monomer ratio between GDA and 1-VIM. Among them, poly(HCO_(3)-OH-2) exhibited the highest catalytic activity for CO_(2)cycloaddition, with the yield of chloropropene carbonate 90% under mild conditions(80℃, 0.1 MPa, 12 h, 0.15 g catalyst for 32 mmol epichlorohydrin) in the absence of any cocatalyst, metal or solvent. A range of substrates with good to excellent yields under atmosphere was obtained. The poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n) catalyst is collectable and still remains acceptable catalytic activity after six runs. Finally, a preliminary kinetic is calculated on the basis of poly(HCO_(3)-OH-2) with the activation energy value of 79.5 kJ·mol^(-1). This study highlights that the poly(HCO_(3)-OH-n) enable to reach efficient CO_(2) conversion under mild conditions.
