Solubility products of Al(OH)3 were determined in various solutions of NH4+, Li+, Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ions. Increasing amounts of these hydroxides were added to the respective chloride solutions containing aluminum chloride. The solutions were aged for 3 months. Activities of the OH− ions were calculated from the pH values of the solutions. The total Al concentrations remaining in solutions were determined by Hsu's modified aluminon method. The Al3+ ion concentrations were computed using the hydrolysis equilibria of Aveston. The ion product, aAl3+(aOH−)3, was found to vary linearly with the [OH]/[Al] ratio. The solubility product of Al(OH)3 was obtained by extrapolating this ratio to 3. The pKsp values thus obtained were 30.55, 33.15, 30.75, 30.36, and 31.00 in NH4+, Li+, Na+, K+, and Ca2+ systems respectively. The anomalously low solubility product of Al(OH)3 in the Li+ system was attributed to the specific "lithium effect".

Iron(111) hydroxides were precipitated upon kaolinite suspended in acidic solutions of either 0.15M NaCl or 0.15M NaClO4. The progress of the reaction was followed for up to 15 weeks by periodic measurements of pH values and total iron(111) concentrations in solution. Total iron(m) concentrations varied from 1 0 - 3 ~ to 2 x 10-7 and pH values from 2.2 to 4.4. In NaCl media, steady state conditions were reached within 4-5 weeks. Allowing for the various iron(III) ionic species present in the solution phase, the solubility product *K++S2 (= [Fe(OH)+2]/aH+) was found to be 4.9 x 10-3 (S.D. = 0.7 x 10-3 log*K++S2 = - 2.31; log Kso = - 38.9). Although the initial precipitates were amorphous, the presence of �-FeOOH in aged suspensions was detected by X-ray analysis, in agreement with electron microscope observations. In NaClO4 media, the solubility of precipitates decreased rapidly during the first 3 weeks and relatively slowly thereafter. Although equilibrium was obviously not established within 5 weeks and possibly not within 15 weeks, values of solubility products, constant over the whole pH range, were derived from results at both reaction times. For suspensions aged for 5 weeks, *K++S2 was 4.85 x 10-3 (S.D. = 0.75 x 10-3 ; logKso = -38.9), whilst for those at 15 weeks, *K++S2 was 2.45 x 10-3 (S.D. = 0.3 x 10-3; log Kso = -39.2). X-ray and infra-red analyses and electron microscope examination indicated the presence of lepidocrocite in the aged products. There was no evidence that either the type or the solubility of products formed on aging was influenced by the presence of kaolinite, although the clay accelerated the rate of crystal growth.

An empirical relation describing the effect of solvent on the dissociation constant ( Kd ) of ion pairs is described. An equation of the form pKd = apKso + bD-1 + c ( Kso and D stand for the solubility product of a given salt and for the electric permittivity of a solvent, respectively) has been tested with 13 sets of experimental data for salts containing tetraalkylammonium and alkali-metal cations. A successful correlation was obtained in 100% of the cases considered.

The effect of the homogenization procedure, the centrifugation scheme, and the composition of the suspension medium on the distribution of nuclear volumes has been studied.It has been shown that the Waring Blendor not only destroys a greater number of the nuclei during homogenization, but also that this destruction is a selective one. At neutral pH values, no direct relationship appears to exist between the DNA content of the nuclei and their density. For this reason, purification in concentrated sucrose solutions produces a selective loss of the lighter nuclei, which includes small diploid stromal nuclei and some of the larger polyploid type of parenchymal nuclei.The study of the effect of increasing the calcium and magnesium ion concentrations (from 0.001 to 0.005 M) on the nuclear distribution showed that these ions produce a selective shrinkage and condensation of the nuclei, probably through different mechanisms.

The strategic idea in this work was to increase pH values by employing natural alkali sources (i.e., HCO3− and CO32−) from four tested agro-ashes as an alternative to chemicals (i.e., lime or soda ash). The considerable proportion of carbonates and bicarbonates in the investigated ash products had remarkable features, making them viable resources. All ash materials showed a significant ability for Ca ion elimination at high initial Ca ion concentrations. A slight quantity of ash (10 g/L) was sufficient for usage on very hard water contents up to 3000 ppm. Finally, the tested agro-ash was free of cost. Furthermore, unlike other conventional precipitants, such as NaOH, Ca(OH)2, NaHCO3, Na2CO3, and CaO, they are cost effective and ecologically sustainable. There is no need to employ any additional chemicals or modify the agro-ash materials throughout the treatment process. The benefits of the manufactured ash were assessed using a SWOT analysis.

We studied the effects of acute external acidification on the acid-base status and plasma and red cell ion concentrations of lampreys. Mortality was observed within 24 h at pH5 and especially at pH4. The main reason for the high sensitivity of lampreys to acid water appears to be the large drop in blood pH: 0.6 and 0.8 units after 24 h at pH5 and pH4, respectively. The drop of plasma pH is much larger than in teleost fishes exposed to similar pH values. The difference in the plasma pH response between lampreys and teleosts probably results from the low buffering capacity of lamprey blood, since red cells cannot participate in buffering extracellular acid loads. Acidification also caused a decrease in both Na+ and C− concentrations and an elevation in K+ concentration of plasma. The drop in plasma Na+ concentration occurred faster than the drop in plasma Cl− concentration which, in turn, coincided with the decrease in total CO2 concentration of the blood.
