As part of a broad study of the factors which affect extraction of salts of cations, complexed with an uncharged ligand, L, a critical study has been made of the extraction into dichloromethane of K+ complexed with 18-crown ether-6 in the form of picrate (LKPi). In using extraction analysis for the determination of very small concentrations of K+ in the presence of other salts activities of (K+)w and (Pi−)w in the aqueous phase must be written in the expression for Kext(LKPi). The salting out effect on P(L) = [L]0/[L]w can greatly affect the concentration of potassium ions left in the aqueous phase. Selectivity of K+/Na+ in extractions with 18-crown-6 has been determined.The extraction method is very suitable for the determination of traces of potassium in salts of sodium, magnesium, and calcium after calibration with, e.g., potassium chloride in potassium-free salts and also, after proper calibration, in routine analysis of liquids which contain little K+ and a large excess of Na+ (e.g. sea water, blood serum).

The possibilities of an aqueous delaminating system containing antipyrine (AP) and sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) for extracting macro - and microamounts of thorium (IV) were studied. The proposed extraction system eliminates the use of toxic organic solvents. The dependences of the distribution of metal from nitrate solutions between phases on the concentration of reagents, acidity of the medium, the amount of inorganic salting-out agent (NaNO3, NH4NO3, Na2SO4) and the volume of the aqueous phase are determined, and optimal conditions for extraction are found. It is shown that in the organic phase with a volume of 1.6 ml at room temperature, macro-and microamounts of thorium (IV) are extracted by 88 and 90%, respectively. The maximum extraction of the cation is achieved at the ratio of AP: SSA = 2.0 : 1.0 and their concentration, mol/l: 0.6: 0.3, while the acidity of the medium created by nitric acid should be equal to 0.015 mol/l (pHequ. = 1.8-1.9). The extraction of thorium (IV) becomes quantitative if inorganic salts (sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate) are introduced into the AP – SSA – 0,015 mol/l HNO3 – H2O system, which, by reducing the activity of water, increase the concentration of reagents in the aqueous phase. The concentration of salting-out agents should correspond to 1.0 and 2.5 mol/l. A mechanism for the distribution of a mixed thorium (IV) complex containing AP, SSA, nitrate ions, solvated with a salt of antipyrinium sulfosalicylate is proposed. The extract is mixed in any relationship with distilled water, providing the use of various instrumental methods of analysis. A method for extraction-photometric determination of thorium (IV) with a toron indicator has been developed. The limit for the fulfillment of the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law is established. The apparent coefficient of light absorption is calculated (ε = 1.7∙104).

The possibility of using an aqueous stratified system of antipyrine — sulfosalicylic acid — water for the selective isolation of scandium macro- and microquantities for subsequent determination is studied. The proposed extraction system eliminates the usage of toxic organic solvents. The organic phase with a volume of 1.2 to 2.0 ml, resulting from delamination of the aqueous phase containing antipyrine and sulfosalicylic acid is analysed to assess the possibility of using such systems for metal ions extraction. Condition necessary for the formation of such a phase were specified: the ratio of the initial components, their concentration, presence of inorganic salting out agents. The optimum ratio of antipyrine to sulfosalicylic acid is 2:1 at concentrations of 0.6 and 0.3 mol/liter in a volume of the aqueous phase of 10 ml. The obtained phase which consists of antipyrinium sulfosalicylate, free antipyrine and water, quantitatively extracts macro- and microquantities of scandium at pH = 1.54. Macro- and microquantities of yttrium, terbium, lanthanum, ytterbium and gadolinium are not extracted under the aforementioned conditions thus providing selective isolation of scandium from the bases containing yttrium, ytterbium, terbium, lanthanum, and gadolinium.

Extraction of hafnium(IV) was studied from solutions of mixtures of perchloric and nitric acids and of perchloric and hydrochloric acids for constant ionic strength, I = 2, 4, 6, or 8, and for cHf 4 . 10-4 mol l-1. The organic phase was constituted by solutions of some acidic or neutral organophosphorus reagents or of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone, or N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine in benzene, chloroform, or n-octane. A pronounced synergic extraction of hafnium proceeds only on applying organophosphorus reagents from an aqueous phase whose acidity is not lower than 3M-(HClO4 + HNO3) or 5M-(HClO4 + HCl). The synergic effect was not affected markedly by a variation of the initial concentration of hafnium in the range 1 . 10-8 -4 .10-4 mol l-1, it lowered with increasing initial concentration of the organophosphorus reagent and decreasing concentration of the H+ ions. It is suggested that the hafnium passes into the organic phase in the form of mixed complexes, the salting-out effect of perchloric acid playing an appreciable part.

Abstract A rapid method for the determination of dimetridazole and ipronidazole in feeds is described. The compounds are extracted from a borate buffer (pH 8.65) with benzene, partitioned into IN HC1, and then partitioned back into benzene from a basic aqueous phase. The benzene extract is concentrated and injected onto a nonpolar (Apiezon L) gas chromatographic column for determination by 63Ni electroncapture detection. Recoveries from feeds of various composition, spiked at 0.2 ppm with both dimetridazole and ipronidazole, ranged from 70 to 115%; for the same feeds spiked at 1 ppm or more, the recoveries were greater than 80%. Carbadox, furazolidone, levamisole, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, sulfamethazine, sulfaquinoxaline, arsanilic acid, piperazine, penicillin, and commonly added vitamins and minerals do not interfere. A 2-dimensional thin layer chromatographic system is presented as a means of additional identification.

AbstractThe proliferation of plastics in the environment continues at an alarming rate. Plastic particles have been found to be persistent and ubiquitous pollutants in a variety of environments, including sea water, fresh water, soil, and air. In light of this phenomenon, the scientific and medical communities have become increasingly wary of the dangers posed to human health by chronic exposure to microplastics (< 5 mm diameter) and nanoplastics (< 100 nm diameter). A critical component of the study of the health effects of these pollutants is the accurate determination of their pharmacokinetic behavior in vivo. Herein, we report the first use of molecular imaging to track polystyrene (PS) micro- and nanoplastic particles in mammals. To this end, we have modified PS particles of several sizes—diameters of 20 nm, 220 nm, 1 µm, and 6 µm—with the chelator desferrioxamine (DFO) and radiolabeled these DFO-bearing particles with the positron-emitting radiometal zirconium-89 (89Zr; t1/2 ~ 3.3 d). Subsequently, positron emission tomography (PET) was used to visualize the biodistribution of these radioplastics in C57BL/6J mice at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after ingestion. The imaging data reveal that the majority of the radioplastics remain in the gastrointestinal tract and are eliminated through the feces by 48 h post-ingestion, a result reinforced by acute biodistribution studies. Ultimately, this work suggests that nuclear imaging—and PET in particular—can be a sensitive and effective tool in the urgent and rapidly growing effort to study the in vivo behavior and potential toxicity of micro- and nanoplastics.
