The separation and purification of antibiotics with sorption by ion-exchange materials, as well as their delivery in biological processes by immobilization, are now widely used in biotechnology. There are many scientific studies in the literature on the sorption of antibiotics by polymer-based sorbents and inorganic materials, as well as the study of thermodynamics and kinetics of the process. In the literature, the acquisition of biologically active systems from the sorption of antibiotics by ion-exchange fibers based on various polymers and inorganic substances was carried out. However, the synthesis of selective gels for the effective separation of doxycycline and its delivery in different pH mediums by sorption with biodegradable, biocompatible polysaccharide-containing composites is one of the topical issues. Gel was synthesized from the cross-linking of N,N-diethyl N-methyl derivative of a natural polyaminosaccharide of chitosan by glutaric aldehyde. Also, pH-sensitive hydrogels that can swollen in water were synthesized from the cross-linking of a graft copolymer of cherry source gummiarabic with N-vinylpyrrolidone, as well as synthetic polymer polyacrylic acid with N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide. The structure of the gels were identified by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy, and the sorption of doxycycline antibiotic from an aqueous solution was investigated. According to the values of zeta potential, the protonation of functional groups in the main macromolecule in an acidic medium leads to a value of zeta potential of 40÷80 mV on the surface of chitosan-based gel and others. Although the chemical structure is different, the isoelectric point is set around pH=6÷8 for all three hydrogels. The dependences of the sorption process on the amount of gels, antibiotic concentration, temperature, and pH medium were studied. The experimental data were analyzed using two adsorption models, Langmuir and Freundlich, with the later system providing the best fit. Doxycycline is adsorbed on the surface of chitosan, gummiarabic and polyacrylic acid based hydrogel composite through by physical interactions. Also, the results of thermodynamic parameters ΔG40 kJ/mol show that the nature of the adsorption process is physical, and spontaneous, too. Keywords: Chitosan, Gummiarabic-arabinogalactane, polyacrylic acid, hydrogel, sorption isoterms, doxycycline, thermodynamica.

The paper presents the results of the development of the technology of centrifugal-die forming of biologically active fibrous materials. The modification of biologically active polypropylene fibers was carried out directly at the process of their production in the field of centrifugal forces of rotating reactor during their molding from polypropylene melt. The properties of the obtained ion-exchange and biologically active polymer fibers are studied. It is shown that obtained and modified by the centrifugal-die method polypropylene fibers can be used as biologically active fibers.

AbstractAlkaloids are biologically active compounds widely used as pharmaceuticals and synthesised as secondary methabolites in plants. Many of these compounds are strongly toxic. Therefore, they are often subject of scientific interests and analysis. Since alkaloids — basic compounds appear in aqueous solutions as ionized and unionized forms, they are difficult for chromatographic separation for peak tailing, poor systems efficiency, poor separation and poor column-to-column reproducibility. For this reason it is necessity searching of more suitable chromatographic systems for analysis of the compounds. In this article we present an overview on the separation of selected alkaloids from different chemical groups by liquid chromatography thus indicating the range of useful methods now available for alkaloid analysis. Different selectivity, system efficiency and peaks shape may be achieved in different LC methods separations by use of alternative stationary phases: silica, alumina, chemically bonded stationary phases, cation exchange phases, or by varying nonaqueous or aqueous mobile phase (containing different modifier, different buffers at different pH, ion-pairing or silanol blocker reagents). Developments in TLC (NP and RP systems), HPLC (NP, RP, HILIC, ion-exchange) are presented and the advantages of each method for alkaloids analysis are discussed.

The natural organic matter (NOM) removal efficiency and regeneration behavior of ion-exchange filters with promoted biological activity (BIEX) was compared to operation where biological activity was suppressed (i.e. abiotic conditions). The impact of BIEX pre-treatment on fouling in subsequent ultrafiltration was also investigated. Biological operation enhanced NOM removal by approximately 50% due to an additional degradation of smaller humic substances, building blocks and low molecular weight acids. Promotion of biological activity significantly increased the time to breakthrough of the filters and, therefore, is expected to lower the regeneration frequency as well as the amount of regenerate of which to dispose. Pre-treatment using BIEX filters resulted in a significant decrease in total and irreversible fouling during subsequent ultrafiltration. The decrease was attributed to the effective removal of medium and low molecular weight NOM fractions. The results indicate that BIEX filtration is a robust, affordable and easy-to-operate pre-treatment approach to minimize fouling in ultrafiltration systems and enhance the quality of the produced permeate.
