  • Dependence of the flow behavior of aqueous suspension of Young-Il bentonite on the concentration and the type of electrolytes was studied. Viscosity measurements were made was Rion Viscotester, using No. 3 rotor at 62.5 R. P. M. at 25.deg.C. As electrolyte concentration increased, the apparent viscosity was observed to increase. Changes in viscosity were in general agreement with predicted results based on the Hofmeister sequence and the Schulze-Hardy rule. The observed electrolyte effect on the apparent viscosity was discussed in terms of the Verwey-Overbeek theory.

  • Polyethylene glycol 20, 000 and 6, 000 were found to have an upper consolute temperature, called "cloud point", and the effects of various additives on the polythylene glycols were investigated in this study. Electrolytes lowered the cloud point in proportion to their concentrations through dehydration and electrostriction. It was found that anions played a more important role than cations and the effects of both the cations and the anions clearly followed the classical Hofmeister series. However, the Schultze Hardy rule holds for the effect of anions, and fails for the effect of cations. Salts of large polarizable anions such as iodide and thiocynate rather raised the cloud point, and their effects were ascribed to the fact that they break the water structure and weaken hydrophobic bonding of the polyxyethylene moiety. Nitrates of polyvalent cations also raised the cloud point. This was ascribed to the complex formation between the polyvalent cations and ether oxygens of the polyoxyethylenes. This explained the failure 'of the Schultz-Hardy rule for cations. Uncharged aromatic compounds drastically lowered the clound point, while aliphatic alcohols slightly lowered the cloud point, This result suggests that there might be some interaction between ether oxygens and aromatic nucleus.c nucleus.

  • In order to investigate the significance of "salting-out" and "pore swelling" effects on the nanofiltration of neutral solutes, rejection properties of two NF ceramic and polymeric membranes were studied with single polyethyleneglycol (PEG) solution and mixed PEG/inorganic electrolyte solutions. For both membranes, the rejection rate of PEG was found to decrease significantly in the presence of ions. In the case of the ceramic membrane (rigid pores), this phenomenon was imputed to the sole partial dehydration of PEG molecules induced by the surrounding ions. This assumption was confirmed by the lowering of the PEG rejection rates which followed the Hofmeister series. Experimental data were used to compute the resulting decrease in the Stokes radius of PEG molecules in the presence of the various salts. Concerning the polymeric membrane, the decrease in the rejection rate was found to be systematically higher than for the ceramic membrane. The additional decrease was then ascribed to the swelling of the pores. The experimental data of rejection rates were then used to compute the variation in the mean pore radius in the presence of the various salts. The pore swelling phenomenon due to accumulation of counterions inside pores was supported by electrokinetic charge density measurements.

  • The potentiometric responses for various anions are investigated with membrane electrode (membrane 1) based on 1,3-diethyl-1,3-dihydroxy-1,3-bis(2-dimethylaminomethyl ferrocenyl) disiloxane. The nitrate ion-selective electrode based on compound 1 gave a good Nernstian response of 58.18 mV per decade for nitrate with the detection limit of −e5.66 of log [NO3−e]. Compound 1 has all those functional groups and the other two compounds have less functional group of ferrocenyl or ferrocenyl and hydroxide, respectively. Even though, potentiometric response to anions was excellent at pH 5, the selectivity pattern for all three membrane electrode based on series of disiloxane is almost like Hofmeister sequence at pH 5. However, the membrane electrode 1-3 exhibited very different response to anions at pH 7. In this pH, NH2 is not protonated and ionophore may act as neutral carrier. Hydrogen bond may enhance the responsibility to hydrogen acceptors and intramolecular electro-active site may increase the permeability of analyte to ionophore in membrane.

  • Azo-functionalized calix[4]arenes as ionophores for chloride-selective electrode, 5,11,17,23-Tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[(N,N-dimethyl-aniline-azo-phenylthioureido)ethyl]oxy-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene (4a) and 5,11,17,23-Tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[(N,N-dimethyl-aniline-azo-phenylthioureido)ethyl]oxy-26,28-dimethoxycalix[4]arene (4b) were synthesized. The PVC membrane electrode based on azo-functionalized calix[4]arene 4a with o-NPOE exhibits a linear stable response over a wide concentration range ($1.5{\times}10^{-4}-1.0{\times}10^{-1}$) with a slope of -52.0 mV/decade and a detection limit of log[$Cl^-$] = -4.02. This ionophore-based membrane exhibited improved selectivity for chloride anion compared with classical Hofmeister series.
