Ammonia phosphates

The biomedical uses of polyphosphazenes mentioned earlier involve chemistry that could in principle be carried out on a classical petrochemical-based polymer. However, in their bioerosion reactions, polyphosphazenes display a uniqueness that sets them apart. This uniqueness stems from the presence of the inorganic backbone, which in the presence of appropriate side groups is capable of undergoing facile hydrolysis to phosphate and ammonia. Phosphate can be metabolized, and ammonia is excreted. If the side groups released in this process are also metabolizable or excretable, the polymer can be eroded under hydrolytic conditions without the danger of a toxic response. Thus, poljnners of this tjT are candidates for use as erodible biostructural materials or sutures, or as matrices for the controlled delivery of drugs. Four examples will be given to illustrate the opportunities that exist. 

Unfortunately, such simple estimations can be in error. Hydroxyl, borate, silicate, ammonia, phosphate, and organic species can contribute to the solution s ability to buffer acid. For example, each of the reactions,... 

Analysis of Guano.—Guano is a very complex mixture, containing urate, oxalate, and phosphate of ammonia, earthy phosphates, soluble alkaline salts, and organic matter, The analysis of such a compound is attended with some labor. As the value of guanos, however, depends on the quantify of ammonia, phosphates, soluble and insoluble, and alkaline 6alts which they contain, a very simple analysis is quite sufficient for agricultural purposes.. 

A widely applicable masking agent is sodium triphosphate, Na5P3Oi0-6H2O, which readily complexes with a very wide variety of cations in all groups of the Periodic Table, preventing their precipitation by alkali hydroxide, ammonia, phosphate, carbonate or borate. It is used commercially as Calgon to mask calcium which cannot then form precipitates with citrate, fluoride or oxalate ions and in many other instances (see Table 3). 

In the investigation of the cleavage of S-substituted thioureas (24), the increase in the anodic wave of the mercaptans formed can be followed. In this base-catalysed reaction, the reactivities of hydroxyl and carbonate ions are considerably greater than those of the other bases investigated (borate, bicarbonate, ammonia, phosphate and monohydrogen phosphate). There is some analogy with base-catalysed ester hydrolysis. 

Most of the work done with FIA has tended toward developing high analysis rates, rather than high-sensitivity analyses (15-20). However, sensitivity is the most important factor when developing analyses for seawater micronutrients. The concentrations of the essential micronutrients such as nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, and silicate are all regularly found to be less than 1 fiM in surface seawater (38). Nitrate concentrations as low as 0.01 fjiM have been found (39) with a chemiluminescence detector (40). Analytical methods for these compounds must have detection limits that are considerably less than 1 jxM if the factors that limit primary production in the euphotic zone of the ocean are to be understood.

The problem of analyzing water samples is essentially no different from that of analyzing aqueous solutions in general. You are referred to Ref. 4 for a compilation of some of the many commonly analyzed substances in water and the procedures employed for their analysis. Measurements made include acidity or alkalinity, biochemical oxygen demand, carbon dioxide, chlorine, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, fluoride, particulate and dissolved matter, ammonia, phosphate, nitrate, silica, sulfate, sulfite, sulfides, turbidity, various metal ions, bacteria, microorganisms, and so forth.

Fourcroy examined gall stones and calculi. In 1800 Fourcroy and Vauquelin published an important memoir on the composition of urinary calculi, which somewhat extended the publications of Wollaston — which they do not mention — and of Pearson, who changed Scheele s name lithic acid into uric oxide or ouric oxide Fourcroy and Vauquelin called it adde urique. They analysed over 600 calculi and concluded that they are of twelve main species, consisting of the following substances, or mixtures of them uric acid, urate of ammonia, phosphate of lime, phosphate of magnesia and ammonia. 

If stored dark and cool (in a refrigerator) in polycarbonate bottles, mixed primary standards of nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate and silicate in pure water or other matrices are stable for months. Mixed working standards, Le., dilutions in the range of natural concentrations, can be used but should be prepared freshly at least every day. 

After the completion of glutamic acid fermentation, the culture waste, including cells, ammonia, phosphate, potassium, and magnesium, remains. This waste can be utilized as fertihzer. 

Note The bottle holding the dilute standard must be plastic. All the above standards must be prepared afresh each day but they are mutually compatible, i.e., a mbced nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, and silicate standard can be used as one solution.
