The distribution ratios and synergistic coefficients of Nd^3＋ and Sm^3＋ in different acidities were also determined. A synergistic extractive effect was found when HDEHP and HEH/EHP were used as mixed extractants for Sm^3＋ or Nd^3＋. The chemical compositions of the extracted complex were determined as Nd.（HA2）2-HL2 and Sm.（HA2）2-HL2. The extraction equilibrium constants, enthalpy change, and entropy change of the extraction reaction were also determined.展开更多

The synergistic extraction of Pr^3＋ from hydrochloric medium using mixture of 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono- 2-ethylhexyl ester （P507, HL） and 8-Hydroxyquinoline （HQ） in heptane was investigated.

The effect of equilibrium of aqueous acidity on extraction of Pr^3＋ was discussed. The effect of extractant concentraction, different diluents, equilibrium time and acetate ion concentration oil extraction reaction were also studied. With a method of double-logarithmic slope, composition of the extracted species on 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester and 8-Hydroxyquinoline was derived. The result shows that the synergistic extraction system not only overcomes emulsification of 8-Hydroxyquinoline, but also shows perfect capacity of synergistic extraction. The largest synergistic enhancement factor can be calculated to be 5.49 at pH 3.6 for Pr^3＋.展开更多

This study contributes to investigating its toxic effects by an embryonic stem cell test （EST） based on two human embryonic stem cell （hESCs） lines. Methods CH1 established in our own lab and H1, a federally registered cell line were two human embryonic stem cell lines used in this test. Four endpoint measurements were performed consisting of cell viability, proliferation ability, apoptosis as well as changes of gene expression patterns after spontaneous differentiation were determined. For measuring effects on the first three endpoints, the cells were treated with various concentrations of MEHP dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide （DMSO） and only with DMSO which served as control and harvested after 5 days. For measuring effects during spontaneous differentiation, the RNA of embryoid bodies （EBs） formed after 8 days＇ MEHP exposure was collected and changes in differentiation specific gene expression patterns were analyzed by quantitative real time RT-PCR. Results As a result the viability and proliferation ability of both cell lines decreased significantly at 1000 μmol/L MEHP, while there was no effect on apoptosis or cell morphology. In addition MEHP also changed the gene expression pattern in the EBs of both cell lines. Conclusion MEHP in a high dose was cytotoxic and affected the development of hESCs, which indicates its embryo toxicitv in human embrvos.展开更多

By M W determination, NMR and the slope method, the extraction reaction is studied.Based upon elementery analyses, IR, NMR as well as MW determination, the compositions ofthe complexes formed with La（NO3）3 and Nd（NO3）3 are studied. Both the standard enthalprchanges（-△H°） and the relative free energy and entropy changes （-△Zr°）（△SPr°）of the ex-.traction reaction are also estimated. The regularity of the variations of Kea（concentrationequilibrium constant）, -△AZr° and △Sr°reveals the tetrad effect. The average separationfactor of the adjacent lanthanides is calculated to be as high as 3.04.展开更多
