Abstract

Extensive work has been done in the field of drug adjuvant interaction studies using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), but conclusive interpretive techniques could not be reached since very few workers supplemented their work by conventional isothermal stability testing methods. This work compared the drug adjuvant thermogram with results obtained from isothermal stability studies and used it to reiterate the results of the drug adjuvant thermograms. In the formulation of ascorbic acid in a cosmetic preparation, the various adjuvants were tested for interactions first by the isothermal stability testing technique, which was followed by DSC scanning of the drug adjuvant. The results of the two methods were compared and correlated.

A restructured framework for modeling oxygen transfer in two-phase partitioning bioreactors.

This communication proposes a mechanistic modification to a recently published method for analyzing oxygen mass transfer in two-phase partitioning bioreactors (Nielsen et al., 2003), and corrects an oversight in that paper. The newly proposed modification replaces the earlier empirical approach, which treated the two liquid phases as a single, homogeneous liquid phase, with a two-phase mass transfer model of greater fundamental rigor. Additionally, newly developed empirical models are presented that predict the mass transfer coefficient of oxygen absorption in both aqueous medium and an organic phase (n-hexadecane) as a function of bioreactor operating conditions. Experimental values and theoretical predictions of mass transfer coefficients in two-phase dispersions, k(L)a(TP), are compared. The revised approach more clearly demonstrates the potential for oxygen mass transfer enhancement by organic phase addition, one of the motivations for employing a distinct second phase in a partitioning bioreactor.

On-line preconcentration/determination of copper in parenteral solutions using activated carbon by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry.

A method for the on-line preconcentration of copper using a minicolumn packed with activated carbon and its subsequent determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) coupled with flow injection (FI) was studied. In order to determinate the copper concentration present in parenteral solutions; it was retained on activated carbon (AC) at pH 9.5. A sensitivity enrichment factor of 30-fold was obtained with respect to the copper determination by ICP-OES without preconcentration. The detection limit for the preconcentration of 25 ml of sample was 0.1 microgl(-1). The precision for the ten replicate determinations at the 2.5 microgl(-1) Cu level was 3.0% relative standard deviation (R.S.D.), calculated with the peak heights. The calibration graph using the preconcentration method for cooper species was linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996 at levels near the detection limits up to at least 200 microgl(-1). The method was successfully applied to the determination of copper in parenteral solutions.

Kinetics of gas-liquid reaction between NO and Co(NH3)6(2+).

Wet ammonia desulphurization process can be retrofitted for combined removal of SO2 and NO from the flue gas by adding soluble cobalt(II) salts into the aqueous ammonia solutions. The Co(NH3)6(2+) formed by ammonia binding with Co2+ is the active constituent of scrubbing NO from the flue gas streams. A stirred vessel with a plane gas-liquid interface was used to measure the chemical absorption rates of nitric oxide into the Co(NH3)6(2+) solution under anaerobic and aerobic conditions separately. The experiments manifest that the nitric oxide absorption reaction can be regarded as instantaneous when nitric oxide concentration levels are parts per million ranges. The gas-liquid reaction becomes gas film controlling as Co(NH3)6(2+) concentration exceeds 0.02 mol/l. The NO absorption rate is proportional to the nitric oxide inlet concentration. Oxygen in the gas phase is favorable to the absorption of nitric oxide. But it is of little significance to increase the oxygen concentration above 5.2%. The NO absorption rate decreases with temperature. The kinetic equation of NO absorption into the Co(NH3)6(2+) solution under aerobic condition can be written as.
