摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing solid phase extraction (SPE) on a fluid that contains solubles and suspended solids. The method includes: (a) providing a volume of fluid that contains solubles and suspended solids, (b) processing the volume of fluid to extract solubles therefrom by the steps comprising: (i) passing a first portion of the volume of fluid through a SPE medium that has first and second sides, the first portion of the volume of fluid passing through the SPE medium from the first side to the second side; and then (ii) passing a second portion of the volume of fluid through the SPE medium from the second side to the first side; and (c) repeating step (b) a plurality of times such that no substantial amount of the suspended solids is removed from the processed volume of fluid and solubles are retained on the SPE medium. The apparatus includes a conduit, a SPE medium located in the conduit, and a fluid flow direction altering mechanism or a SPE rotating mechanism.

A composite chromatographic sheet-like article is prepared by the steps comprising blending one or more non-swellable sorptive hydrophobic particulate materials in the presence of an amount of polar organic masking agent sufficient to allow rapid wetting of the surface of the particulate and in the presence of sufficient lubricant water to exceed the sorptive capacity of the particulate, provided that the volume ratio of water to masking agent does not exceed 3:1, adding with stirring an aqueous emulsion of polytetrafluoroethylene so that the resulting mass has a dough-like consistency, mixing the mass in an intensive mixer at a temperature between 50 C. and 100 C. for a time sufficient to cause fibrillation of the polytetrafluoroethylene particles, biaxially calendering the mass, while maintaining water at a level near the absorptive capacity of the particulate, between a gap in the calendering rolls maintained at about 50 C. to about 100 C. to cause additional fibrillation and consolidation of the polytetrafluoroethylene particles while closing the gap with each successive calendering operation, for a time sufficient to produce a composite chromatographic article having a net surface energy in the range of 20 to 300 milliNewtons per meter, and drying the resultant sheet.
摘要:
An efficient method removes oxidants from fluids (gases and liquids, particularly air) by means of solid phase extraction or reaction. The solid phase extraction or reaction medium comprises a porous, preferably fibrous, polymeric, membrane or web in which are incorporated oxidant scavenger particulates. Typical oxidants removed in the method include ozone, oxides of nitrogen, halogen, and peroxides. The method of the invention protects organic analytes in analytical applications and removes oxidants in remediation applications by use of oxidant scavenger particles in porous membranes.
摘要:
A sheet article for solid phase extraction or solid phase reaction has at least one sorptive polymer pulp at least one of sorptive and reactive particulate. The article can be used in a method of separating an analyte from a fluid by passing a fluid containing an analyte through a sheet article containing poly(p- or m-phenylenephthalamide) pulp and solid phase particles.

摘要:
Composite reactive articles are useful for quantifying cyanide ions in solution. The composite reactive articles can be porous reactive supports comprising an inert substrate having immobilized thereon finely divided gold. The porous reactive supports can be particulate, porous fibrous membranes, or solution-cast membranes. Alternatively, the composite reactive articles can comprise porous fibrous membranes having enmeshed therein the aforementioned porous supports which can be in particulate or fibrous forms. The method for quantifying cyanide ions in solution comprising the steps of contacting and passing a solution containing cyanide ions through a reactive support comprising a porous, high surface area, inert substrate on which is immobilized finely divided elemental gold at a controlled rate to provide for a time to provide sufficient contact time for the gold and cyanide ions to react and provide a soluble gold cyanide complex, recovering the effluent comprising said gold cyanide complex, and determining the quantity of cyanide present in the gold cyanide complex.
