Abstract

Recent developments in new electrolytic devices that utilize the electrolysis of water and charge-selective electromigration of ions through ion-exchange media have significantly changed the routine operation of ion chromatographic methods. Examples of these new electrolytic devices include on-line eluent generators that produce high-purity electrolyte eluents using deionized water as the carrier stream, continuously regenerated trap columns that remove ionic contaminants in the eluents, and continuously regenerated suppressors that reduce eluent background conductance prior to conductivity detection. The combined use of these electrolytic devices has made it possible to perform various ion chromatographic separations using only deionized water as the mobile phase. This paper reviews the operation principles of these electrolytic devices and their applications in the ion chromatographic determination of anionic and cationic analytes.

Synthesis and characterization of a new inorganic cation-exchanger-Zr(IV) tungstomolybdate: analytical applications for metal content determination in real sample and synthetic mixture.

An amorphous sample of inorganic cation-exchanger Zr(IV) tungstomolybdate was prepared by mixing varying ratios of 0.1M aqueous solution of sodium tungstate and 0.1M aqueous solution of sodium molybdate into 0.1M aqueous solution of zirconium oxychloride at pH 1. This cation-exchanger was found to have a good ion-exchange capacity (2.40 mequiv.g(-1) for Na(+)), high thermal and chemical stability. A tentative structural formula was proposed on the basis of chemical composition, FTIR and thermogravimetric analysis. Distribution coefficients (K(d)) values of metal ions in various solvent systems were determined. Some important and analytically difficult quantitative binary separations viz. Ni(II)-Pb(II), Ni(II)-Zn(II), Ni(II)-Cd(II), Mg(II)-Al(III), etc. were achieved. The practical applicability of the cation-exchanger was demonstrated in the separation of Cu(II)-Zn(II) from a synthetic mixture as well as from real samples of pharmaceutical formulation and brass alloy.

Investigation of a variety of cationic surfactants attached to cation-exchange silica for hydrophobicity optimization in admicellar solid-phase extraction for high-performance liquid and gas chromatography.

A series of cationic surfactants were attached to cation-exchange silica that included silica modified with sulfopropyl groups and unmodified silica to create hydrophobic solid-phase extraction sorbents. Various chain lengths and chain numbers of amine, ammonium and pyridinium-based cationic surfactants were investigated to reach sufficient sorbent hydrophobicity to capture US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Of the tested surfactant/silica combinations, dihexadecyldimethylammonium cations attached to unmodified silica resulted in the sorbent having the greatest hydrophobicity. This sorbent provided strong hydrophobic attraction of PAHs and also efficient elution because the PAHs were removed together with the surfactant using a very mild 5% acetic acid in methanol rinse solution. This admicellar solid-phase extraction procedure was applied for the determination of these PAHs for both high-performance liquid and gas chromatography. The detection limits of these PAHs were below the EPA's maximum contaminant level of 0.2 microg/L.

An improved 62Zn/62Cu generator based on a cation exchanger and its fully remote-controlled preparation for clinical use.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to develop an improved (62)Zn/(62)Cu generator based on cation exchange resin and remote preparation at high radioactivity scale for clinical use. METHODS: A natural Cu target was irradiated with proton beam in the energy range of 30-->19 MeV at a beam current of 10 muA for 1 h to obtain around 1.7 GBq of (62)Zn. The (62)Zn was isolated from the Cu target on an anion exchange column with more than 97% yield within 2.5 h from the EOB. The (62)Zn/(62)Cu generator was prepared by loading the (62)Zn(2+) on a Sep-Pak plus CM cartridge. RESULTS: The generator showed high elution efficiency ( approximately 96%) using a small volume (ca. 3 ml) of a 200-mM glycine solution with a very low breakthrough of (62)Zn (<0.1%). CONCLUSIONS: This (62)Zn/(62)Cu generator has been proven to be highly useful as a source of (62)Cu for the synthesis of (62)Cu-labeled compounds. The clinical application of [(62)Cu]Cu-ATSM produced with this generator has been already approved by the Institutional Review Board at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences.
