Correlations of solubility data previously measured on ternary systems containing peroxodisulphates of monovalent cations have been established using the method of relative activity coefficient expansion. The relationships obtained give a fairly good representation of experimental solubility curves for systems which do not form solid solutions. The general form of the correlation function is discussed in relation to the resultant ionic strength of saturated solution.

Hydration analysis, which enables information on ionic processes in saturated solutions to be derived from solubility data in ternary systems, was applied to the interpretation of solubility interaction constants from the relative activity coefficient expansion. A close relationship was found between the hydration analysis parameters and the solubility interaction constants characterizing the relative activity of solute, which extends our insight into the ionic behaviour of the system studied by using the values of the interaction constants.

Endo-D-galacturonanase of Aspergillus sp. was irreversibly adsorbed on polyethyleneterephthalate in an acetate 0.1 mol l-1 buffer solution of pH 4.2. Immobilization of the enzyme resulted in lowering of its activity, the measure of which depended on the amount of the enzyme fixed on the carrier. The highest relative activity (42.4%) had the preparation containing 5.25 mg of the enzyme per 1 g of the carrier. The velocity and intensity of the sorption of the enzyme depended on the ionic strength of the medium, whilst pH, on the other hand, was of no influence. Endo-D-galacturonanase immobilized in a 0.1 mol l-1 buffer was characteristic a) of its fixation strength in salt solutions of various ionic strength and pH, in a 3 mol l-1 guanidine solution, and also in sodium pectate and pectin solutions, b) of its high stability during a long-lasting storage at 4 °C, c) of its operational stability. The immobilization led to a partial change of the action pattern onto the high-molecular substrate, manifested in lowering the decrease of viscosity to degradation degree ratio.

Abstract. In the event of a mass livestock mortality situation, disposal routes such as burial are commonly chosen. The impact of burial on the environment could be substantial, but the composition of the leachate arising from a burial site has not been well documented. This study was performed to determine the chemical composition of leachate arising from animal mortalities in a burial setting. Three species of livestock were used: bovine, swine, and poultry. Leachate collected from lined burial pits over two years of decomposition was analyzed for major and minor ions. Analysis indicated that livestock mortality leachate contains, on average, concentrations of 46,000 mg L-1 of alkalinity (as bicarbonate), 12,600 mg L-1 of ammonium-N, 2600 mg L-1 of chloride, 3600 mg L-1 of sulfate, 2300 mg L-1 of potassium, 1800 mg L-1 of sodium, and 1500 mg L-1 of phosphorus, along with lesser amounts of iron, calcium, and magnesium. Select samples had maximum concentrations of ammonium-N and bicarbonate up to 50% higher than these average values. In comparison to earthen swine manure storages and landfills, the ionic strength of the leachate was 2 to 4 times higher, and therefore its impact on water resources could be greater. Following the study of the chemical composition of livestock mortality leachate, the potential impacts of this leachate on the soil/water systems below a burial site were investigated. The ionic strength of the leachate presents its own set of challenges. Basic modeling of ion activity using the five most common activity coefficient equations (Debye-Hückel, extended Debye-Hückel, Truesdell-Jones, Davies, and Pitzer) were considered to assess the sensitivity of these methods for calculated ion activity as impacted by the ionic strength of the leachate. This was completed to further enhance the modeling and speciation efforts. Based on the results and the applicability of the Truesdell-Jones equation, PHREEQC was used to assess the chemical speciation of the leachate. The speciation of this leachate provides evidence of phosphate and sulfate compounds available for potential unattenuated transport. Understanding the geochemical implications of livestock mortality burial will give scientists and regulators more information for performing future risk analyses when considering mortality burial as a management option, either routinely or during a mass mortality event.

The apparent first dissociation constant of carbonic acid has been defined in different ways in the literature. Harned and co-workers (8-10) have defined it in terms of molalities of the participating species, including H ions: Ks = mHmHCO3/mCO2. In contrast, Hastings and Sendroy have defined an apparent constant in which acidity is expressed as H ion activity: K'1 = aHmHCO3/mCO2. These constants differ by a factor gamma H, the activity coefficient of H ions at the prevailing ionic strength. Therefore, pK'1 is greater than pKs by an amount equal to -log gamma H, which, at mu = 0.16 M, is approximately 0.1. It is important that the correct value for the apparent dissociation constant or its logarithmic form be entered in the mass action expression or in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation in order to prevent significant errors in the computation by means of these equations of quantities that cannot be directly measured. Specifically, for the derivation of bicarbonate concentration from PCO2 and pH (-log aH), pK'1 is to be used and not an uncorrected pKs.

The action of crystalline pancreatic deoxyribonuclease on sodium oligonucleotides in the presence of manganous ions has been studied and a pH optimum of 6.6 observed. Inhibition of the enzyme activity by increased ionic strength of the digest occurred. The liberation of products soluble in uranyl acetate – trichloroacetate was found to vary with enzyme concentration and the relative activity of the enzyme on oligonucleotides was best determined by a logarithm-plot method. The activity of the enzyme towards deoxyribonucleic acid or sodium oligonucleotides as substrate was not affected by treatment with acetone. Evidence of heterogeneity in the crystalline enzyme preparation was obtained using paper electrophoresis and chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose. Two fractions were separated that showed different ratios of activity towards the two substrates employed.

A thermodynamic analysis of the synthesis of face-centred cubic (fcc) and body-centred cubic (bcc) solid solutions of Ti-based alloys produced by mechanical alloying was performed. Four Ti-based alloys were analysed: (i) Ti-13Ta-3Sn (at.%), (ii) Ti-30Nb-13Ta (at.%), (iii) Ti-20Nb-30Ta (wt. %) and (iv) Ti-33Nb-4Mn (at.%). The milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the crystallite size and microstrain were determined using the Rietveld and Williamson–Hall methods. The Gibbs free energy of mixing for the formation of a solid solution of the three ternary systems (Ti-Ta-Sn, Ti-Nb-Ta and Ti-Nb-Mn) was calculated using an extended Miedema’s model, applying the Materials Analysis Applying Thermodynamics (MAAT) software. The values of the activity of each component were determined by MAAT. It was found that increasing the density of crystalline defects, such as dislocations and crystallite boundaries, changed the solubility limit in these ternary systems. Therefore, at longer milling times, the Gibbs free energy increases, so there is a driving force to form solid solutions from elemental powders. Finally, there is agreement between experimental and thermodynamic data confirming the formation of solid solutions.
