SELECTIVE PRECONCENTRATION OF ARSENITE ON MERCAPTO-MODIFIED SILICA-GEL

1987-02-01
A surface-modified silica gel has been developed for the pre-concentration of arsenite from natural waters. The reaction of silica gel with (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane produces a mercapto-modified silica gel with a silver capacity of ca. 0.9 mmol g–1. This material selectively removes arsenite from samples that also contain arsenate, monomethylarsonate and dimethylarsinate, and can be employed for both the column and batch pre-concentration of arsenite. Under column and batch conditions recoveries of ca. 96 and 94% are obtained but reproducibility is better for the column technique.

Preconcentration of germanium on mercapto-modified silica gel
Gokturk, G; Delzendeh, M; Volkan, Mürvet (2000-07-14)
A simple method for the determination of ultra-trace amounts of germanium in natural waters has been developed. Germanium was preconcentrated using silica having mercapto functional groups, namely mercapto silica and determined by hydride generation flame atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS). Utilising mercapto silica, satisfactory recovery values (> 95%) were obtained at natural pH, for germanate concentrations as low as 50 ng 1(-1) Considering the highest preconcentration factor (400-fold) obtained, the...
Comparison of TOC concentrations by persulphate UV and high temperature catalytic oxidation techniques in the Marmara and Black Seas
Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 1993-01-01)
Total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations were determined in the Marmara Sea and both oxic and anoxic waters of the Black Sea, using the Shimadzu high-temperature catalytic oxidation technique and the Technicon persulphate-UV oxidation method. The TOC values in the deep waters of the Marmara Sea ranged between 60 and 73 μ MC by the Shimadzu technique and from 40 to 50 μMC by the Technicon method. The TOC values obtained by both methods in the deep anoxic waters of the Black Sea varied between 105 and 130 μM...
Synthesis, characterization and application of a novel mercapto- and amine-bifunctionalized silica for speciation/sorption of inorganic arsenic prior to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric determination
Boyacı, Ezel; Shahwan, Talal; Eroglu, Ahmet E. (2011-09-15)
A bifunctional sorbent, (NH(2) + SH)silica, containing both amine and mercapto functionalties was prepared by modification of silica gel with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylamine and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. In addition to the bifunctional sorbent, silica gel was modified individually with the functional mercapto- and amino-silanes, and the mono-functional sorbents, namely (SH)silica and (NH(2))silica, were also mechanically mixed ((NH(2))silica +(SH)silica) for the sake of comparison of sorption perfor...
Utilization of fly ash-portland cement binary systems to control alkali-silica reaction
Çelen, Ahmet Ziya; Akgül, Çağla Meral.; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
The highly alkaline pore solution of the portland cement concrete is not an ideal environment for certain reactive aggregates with poorly-crystalline or amorphous silica phases. In this environment, these aggregates partially or completely disintegrate resulting in formation of a hydrophilic, amorphous gel mainly composed of alkalis and water from the pore solution of the hydrated cement matrix and silica from the aggregates. The newly formed alkali-silica reaction (ASR) gel can expand by absorbing huge amo...
Numerical investigation of coupled heat and mass transfer inside the adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit
Solmus, Ismail; Rees, D. Andrew S.; Yamali, Cemil; Baker, Derek Keıth; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN (2012-05-01)
In this study, the influence of several design parameters on the transient distributions of temperature, pressure and amount adsorbed in the radial direction of a cylindrical adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit using silica gel/water have been investigated numerically. For this purpose, a transient one-dimensional local thermal non-equilibrium model that accounts for both internal and external mass transfer resistances has been developed using the local volume averaging method. For the conditions in...
