Abstract

Interest in the recovery of silver from radiographic film generates a need to understand the operating procedures of recovery units utilizing the electrolytic fixer principle. Tailing or terminal units and recirculation units using electrolysis are evaluated. Difficulties encountered in the number of Coulombs applied to a specific amount of fixer are discussed. Reduction of sulfiding as a result of electrolysis and variations in film volumes are noted. The quantity and quality of silver collected can be improved by being aware of alterations in chemical activity used in a silver recovery program.

The unvalidity of Kohlrausch' regulating function for Svensson's isoelectric focusing and stationary electrolysis at steady state.

Kohlrausch' regulating function is of important significance in the field of electrophoresis. In this paper, the relative regulating function is defined from Kohlrausch' regulating function. The relative values, including the limited values, of the regulating function for the stationary electrolysis of salt, on which the classic isoelectric focusing (IEF) is based, are computed and compared with the computer program of the QBASIC written by us. The results directly demonstrate that, (1) in a few cases the regulating function is valid for the stationary electrolysis and IEF, whereas (2) the function is, in most of cases, not valid for the stationary electrolysis and IEF at steady-state. Those findings may be useful for the studies on the relationships between Kohlrausch' regulating function and IEF and for the classification of numerous electrophoretic techniques.

Characteristics of chemiluminescence observed in the horseradish peroxidase-hydrogen peroxide-tyrosine system.

Electrolysis or horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed oxidation of tyrosine and bityrosine in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 resulted in light emission in the visible region. Electrolysis of tyrosine emitted light which peaked at 490 nm and was almost completely quenched by superoxide dismutase (SOD), while emission by bityrosine peaked at 530 nm. In the HRP-H(2)O(2)-tyrosine system the oxidation-reduction of tyrosine emitted light with two prominent peaks, 490 and 530 nm, and was not quenched by SOD. The phenoxyl neutral radical of the tyrosine in HRP-H(2)O(2)-tyrosine system was detected by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry using tert-nitrosobutane as a spin trap; the spin adduct was found to adhere to the HRP molecule during the enzymatic reaction. Further, bityrosine was detected in the HRP-H(2)O(2)-tyrosine reaction system. Changes in absorption spectra of HRP and chemiluminescence intensities during HRP-catalyzed oxidation of tyrosine suggest that for photon emission compound III is a candidate superoxide donor to the phenoxyl cation radical of tyrosine on the enzyme molecule. The luminescence observed in this study might be originated from at least two exciplexes involved with the tyrosine cation radical (Tyr(*+)) and the bityrosine cation radical (BT(*+))
