Determination of bioavailable phosphorus from water samples with low suspended sediment using an anion exchange resin method.

ABSTRACT: Measurement of phosphorus in surface waters for eutrophication studies is common. Phosphorus is commonly adsorbed to suspended sediment, but can desorb under certain conditions. Only a fraction of measured total phosphorus is bioavailable to aquatic organisms like algae, and for assessment, monitoring, and regulatory applications, researchers need to understand what proportion of total phosphorus in mixed water-sediment samples is bioavailable. Ion exchange resins have high capability of taking up dissolved ions like phosphate (PO₄ ^3-) and a long history of use in examining bioavailable phosphorus in surface water runoff. Previous work using resins to quantify bioavailable phosphorus was undertaken in waters with high total suspended sediment (TSS) concentrations (200-2,240 mg TSS/L) and correspondingly high phosphorus. The work presented here was undertaken in watersheds where runoff TSS concentrations are an order of magnitude lower; since bioavailable phosphorus as low as a few micrograms per liter can be important to eutrophication, it was necessary to modify existing anion exchange resin methods for use in low TSS waters. Modifications of the original method and quality controls presented include:•A passive method to concentrate low TSS samples;•Elimination of P cross-contamination from reuse of anion exchange resin; and•Comparison to the original method and reproducibility of results.

Determination of Cadmium in Brown Rice Samples by Fluorescence Spectroscopy Using a Fluoroionophore after Purification of Cadmium by Anion Exchange Resin.

Project description:Simple analytical methods are needed for determining the cadmium (Cd) content of brown rice samples. In the present study, we developed a new analytical procedure consisting of the digestion of rice using HCl, Cd purification using anion exchange resin, and then determining the Cd content using fluorescence spectroscopy. Digestion with 0.1 M HCl for 10 min at room temperature was sufficient to extract Cd from the ground rice samples. The Cd in the extract was successfully purified in preference to other metals using Dowex 1X8 chloride form resin. Low concentrations of Cd in the eluate could be determined using fluorescence spectroscopy with a fluoroionophore. Overall, the actual limit of quantification value for the Cd content in rice was about 0.1 mg-Cd/kg-rice, which was sufficiently low compared with the regulatory value (0.4 mg-Cd/kg-rice) given by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. We analyzed authentic brown rice samples using our new analytical procedure and the results agreed well with those determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Since the fluoroionophore recognized Zn2+ and Hg2+ as well as Cd2+, a sample containing high concentration of Zn2+ or Hg2+ might cause a false positive result.

Anion Exchange Resin and Inorganic Anion Parameter Determination for Model Validation and Evaluation of Unintended Consequences during PFAS Treatment.

Project description:When implementing anion exchange (AEX) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances treatment, temporal drinking water quality changes from concurrent inorganic anion (IA) removal can create unintended consequences (e.g., corrosion control impacts). To understand potential effects, four drinking water-relevant IAs (bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and nitrate) and three gel-type, strong-base AEX resins were evaluated. Batch binary isotherm experiments provided estimates of IA selectivity with respect to chloride ( K x ∕ C ) for IA/resin combinations where bicarbonate < sulfate ≤ nitrate at studied conditions. A multi-IA batch experiment demonstrated that binary isotherm-determined K x ∕ C values predicted competitive behavior. Subsequent column experiments with and without natural organic matter (NOM) allowed for the validation of a new ion exchange column model (IEX-CM; https://github.com/USEPA/Water_Treatment_Models). IA breakthrough was well-simulated using binary isotherm-determined K x ∕ C values and was minimally impacted by NOM. Initial AEX effluent water quality changes with corrosion implications included increased chloride and decreased sulfate and bicarbonate concentrations, resulting in elevated chloride-to-sulfate mass ratios (CSMRs) and Larson ratios (LRs) and depressed pH until the complete breakthrough of the relevant IA(s). IEX-CM utility was further illustrated by simulating the treatment of low-IA source water and a change in the source water to understand the resulting duration of changes in IAs and water quality parameters.

Determination of Bioavailable Aluminum in Natural Waters in the Presence of Suspended Solids.

Project description:Analyses of natural waters frequently show elevated levels of total aluminum (Al) attributable to acid extraction of Al from the total suspended solids (TSS) minerals. Hence, there is a need for an analytical method that measures only bioavailable Al. Natural waters high in TSS were collected to study the chronic effects of Al on Ceriodaphnia dubia. In the collected waters TSS ranged from 30 to 411 mg/L; total Al concentrations ranged from 2.0 to 44.8 mg/L. The TSS in natural waters inhibited reproduction of C. dubia up to 40% in comparison to the same filtered waters. This inhibition did not correlate with the concentration of TSS or total Al; it was attributed to nutritional deficiency and was prevented by increasing the food supply. To demonstrate that toxicity can be measured in natural waters, samples with elevated TSS were spiked with soluble Al, and survival and reproduction were measured in chronic studies performed at pH 6.3 and 8.0. To properly characterize the Al concentrations in the toxicity studies, a method was needed that could discriminate bioavailable Al from mineral forms of Al. An extraction method at pH 4 for bioavailable Al was developed and evaluated using C. dubia chronic toxicity studies in the presence of TSS. It is concluded that the proposed method is better able to discriminate chronic toxicity effects attributable to bioavailable Al from mineralized nontoxic forms of Al compared with existing methods using total or total recoverable Al (i.e., extraction at pH ≤ 1.5). We propose that this new method be used when assessing the potential for Al in natural surface waters to cause toxicity. Environ Toxicol Chem 2019;38:1668-1681. © 2019 The Authors.

Water management in anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers under dry cathode operation.

Project description:Dry cathode operation is a desired operation mode in anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers to minimize contamination of the generated hydrogen. However, water management under such operation conditions makes it challenging to maintain reliable performance and durability. Here, we utilize high-resolution in situ neutron imaging (∼6 μm effective resolution) to analyze the water content inside the membrane-electrode-assembly of an anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer. The ion-exchange capacity (IEC) and thus hydrophilicity of the polymer binder in the cathode catalyst layer is varied to study the influence on water content in the anode (mid IEC, 1.8-2.2 meq. g-1 and high IEC, 2.3-2.6 meq. g-1). The neutron radiographies show that a higher ion-exchange capacity binder allows improved water retention, which reduces the drying-out of the cathode at high current densities. Electrochemical measurements confirm a generally better efficiency for a high IEC cell above 600 mA cm-2. At 1.5 A cm-2 the high IEC has a 100 mV lower overpotential (2.1 V vs. 2.2 V) and a lower high frequency resistance (210 mΩ cm-2 vs. 255 mΩ cm-2), which is believed to be linked to the improved cathode water retention and membrane humidification. As a consequence, the performance stability of the high IEC cell at 1 A cm-2 is also significantly better than that of the mid IEC cell (45 mV h-1 vs. 75 mV h-1).

Water-Gated Transistor Using Ion Exchange Resin for Potentiometric Fluoride Sensing.

Project description:We introduce fluoride-selective anion exchange resin sorbents as sensitisers into membranes for water-gated field effect transistors (WGTFTs). Sorbents were prepared via metal (La or Al)-loading of a commercial macroporous aminophosphonic acid resin, PurometTM MTS9501, and were filled into a plasticised poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) phase transfer membrane. We found a potentiometric response (membrane potential leading to WGTFT threshold shift) to fluoride following a Langmuir-Freundlich (LF) adsorption isotherm with saturated membrane potential up to ~480 mV, extremely low characteristic concentration c1/2 = 1/K, and picomolar limit of detection (LoD), even though ion exchange did not build up charge on the resin. La-loading gave a superior response compared to Al-loading. Membrane potential characteristics were distinctly different from charge accumulating sensitisers (e.g., organic macrocycles) but similar to the Cs+ (cation) selective ion-exchanging zeolite mineral 'mordenite'. We propose a mechanism for the observed threshold shift and investigate interference from co-solutes. Strong interference from carbonate was brought under control by 'diluting' metal loading in the resin. This work sets a template for future studies using an entirely new 'family' of sensitisers in applications where very low limit of detection is essential such as for ions of arsenic, mercury, copper, palladium, and gold.

Anion-exchange chromatography of phosphopeptides: weak anion exchange versus strong anion exchange and anion-exchange chromatography versus electrostatic repulsion-hydrophilic interaction chromatography.

Project description:Most phosphoproteomics experiments rely on prefractionation of tryptic digests before online liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. This study compares the potential and limitations of electrostatic repulsion-hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC) and anion-exchange chromatography (AEX). At a pH higher than 5, phosphopeptides have two negative charges per residue and are well-retained in AEX. However, peptides with one or two phosphate groups are not separated from peptides with multiple Asp or Glu residues, interfering with the identification of phosphopeptides. At a pH of 2, phosphate residues have just a single negative charge but Asp and Glu are uncharged. This facilitates the separation of phosphopeptides from unmodified acidic peptides. Singly phosphorylated peptides are retained weakly under these conditions, due to electrostatic repulsion, unless hydrophilic interaction is superimposed in the ERLIC mode. Weak anion-exchange (WAX) and strong anion-exchange (SAX) columns were compared, with both peptide standards and a HeLa cell tryptic digest. The SAX column exhibited greater retention at pH 6 than did the WAX column. However, only about 60% as many phosphopeptides were identified with SAX at pH 6 than via ERLIC at pH 2. In one ERLIC run, 12 467 phosphopeptides were identified, including 4233 with more than one phosphate. We conclude that chromatography of phosphopeptides is best performed at low pH in the ERLIC mode. Under those conditions, the performances of the SAX and WAX materials were comparable. The data have been deposited with the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD001333.

Global silicate weathering flux overestimated because of sediment-water cation exchange.

Project description:Rivers carry the dissolved and solid products of silicate mineral weathering, a process that removes [Formula: see text] from the atmosphere and provides a key negative climate feedback over geological timescales. Here we show that, in some river systems, a reactive exchange pool on river suspended particulate matter, bonded weakly to mineral surfaces, increases the mobile cation flux by 50%. The chemistry of both river waters and the exchange pool demonstrates exchange equilibrium, confirmed by Sr isotopes. Global silicate weathering fluxes are calculated based on riverine dissolved sodium (Na+) from silicate minerals. The large exchange pool supplies Na+ of nonsilicate origin to the dissolved load, especially in catchments with widespread marine sediments, or where rocks have equilibrated with saline basement fluids. We quantify this by comparing the riverine sediment exchange pool and river water chemistry. In some basins, cation exchange could account for the majority of sodium in the river water, significantly reducing estimates of silicate weathering. At a global scale, we demonstrate that silicate weathering fluxes are overestimated by 12 to 28%. This overestimation is greatest in regions of high erosion and high sediment loads where the negative climate feedback has a maximum sensitivity to chemical weathering reactions. In the context of other recent findings that reduce the net [Formula: see text] consumption through chemical weathering, the magnitude of the continental silicate weathering fluxes and its implications for solid Earth [Formula: see text] degassing fluxes need to be further investigated.

Properties of Anion Exchange Membranes with a Focus on Water Electrolysis.

Project description:Recently, alkaline membrane water electrolysis, in which membranes are in direct contact with water or alkaline solutions, has gained attention. This necessitates new approaches to membrane characterization. We show how the mechanical properties of FAA3, PiperION, Nafion 212 and reinforced FAA3-PK-75 and PiperION PI-15 change when stress-strain curves are measured in temperature-controlled water. Since membranes show dimensional changes when the temperature changes and, therefore, may experience stresses in the application, we investigated seven different membrane types to determine if they follow the expected spring-like behavior or show hysteresis. By using a very simple setup which can be implemented in most laboratories, we measured the "true hydroxide conductivity" of membranes in temperature-controlled water and found that PI-15 and mTPN had higher conductivity at 60 °C than Nafion 212. The same setup was used to monitor the alkaline stability of membranes, and it was found that stability decreased in the order mTPN > PiperION > FAA3. XPS analysis showed that FAA3 was degraded by the attack of hydroxide ions on the benzylic position. Water permeability was analyzed, and mTPN had approximately two times higher permeability than PiperION and 50% higher permeability than FAA3.

Copper Ferrite Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Anion-Exchange Resin: Influence of Synthesis Parameters on the Cubic Phase Stability.

Project description:Copper ferrite is of great interest to researchers as a material with unique magnetic, optical, catalytic, and structural properties. In particular, the magnetic properties of this material are structurally sensitive and can be tuned by changing the distribution of Cu and Fe cations in octahedral and tetrahedral positions by controlling the synthesis parameters. In this study, we propose a new, simple, and convenient method for the synthesis of copper ferrite nanoparticles using a strongly basic anion-exchange resin in the OH form. The effect and possible mechanism of polysaccharide addition on the elemental composition, yield, and particle size of CuFe2O4 are investigated and discussed. It is shown that anion-exchange resin precipitation leads to a mixture of unstable cubic (c-CuFe2O4) phases at standard temperature and stable tetragonal (t-CuFe2O4) phases. The effect of reaction conditions on the stability of c-CuFe2O4 is studied by temperature-dependent XRD measurements and discussed in terms of cation distribution, cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion, and Cu2+ and oxygen vacancies in the copper ferrite lattice. The observed differences in the values of the saturation magnetization and coercivity of the prepared samples are explained in terms of variations in the particle size and structural properties of copper ferrite.

Selective capture of hexavalent chromium from an anion-exchange column of metal organic resin-alginic acid composite.

Project description:We report an anion exchange composite material based on a protonated amine-functionalized metal-organic framework, denoted Metal Organic Resin-1 (MOR-1), and alginic acid (HA). MOR-1-HA material shows an exceptional capability to rapidly and selectively sorb Cr(vi) under a variety of conditions and in the presence of several competitive ions. The selectivity of MOR-1-HA for Cr(vi) is shown to be the result of strong O3CrVI···NH2 interactions. The composite sorbent can be successfully utilized in an ion-exchange column, in contrast to pristine MOR-1 which forms fine suspensions in water passing through the column. Remarkably, an ion exchange column with only 1% wt MOR-1-HA and 99% wt sand (an inert and inexpensive material) is capable of reducing moderate and trace Cr(vi) concentrations to well below the acceptable safety limits for water. The relatively low cost of MOR-1-HA/sand column and its high regeneration capability and reusability make it particularly attractive for application in the remediation of Cr(vi)-bearing industrial waste.
