Coagulation chemistry

During the last 4 decades, many researchers have studied the effects of dope concentration, internal and external coagulants chemistry, and spinning conditions on membrane formation and performance. Most of their works have been summarized elsewhere (Mulder, 1996 Chung and Kafchinski, 1997 Freeman and Pinnau, 1999 Sharpe et al., 1999 Clausi and Koros, 2000 Nunes and Peinemann, 2001 Carruthers et al., 2003 Ho, 2003 Baker, 2004). Here we only summarize key progress in the last 10 years.

Cytokines, eg, interferons, interleukins, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and certain growth factors, could have antitumor activity directiy, or may modulate cellular mechanisms of antitumor activity (2). Cytokines may be used to influence the proliferation and differentiation of T-ceUs, B-ceUs, macrophage—monocyte, myeloid, or other hematopoietic cells. Alternatively, the induction of interferon release may represent an important approach for synthetic—medicinal chemistry, to search for effective antiinflammatory and antifibrotic agents. Inducers of interferon release may also be useful for lepromatous leprosy and chronic granulomatous disease. The potential cytokine and cytokine-related therapeutic approaches to treatment of disease are summarized in Table 4. A combination of cytokines is a feasible modaUty for treatment of immunologically related diseases however, there are dangers inherent in such an approach, as shown by the induction of lethal disserninated intravascular coagulation in mice adrninistered TNF-a and IFN-y. 

Poly(ethylene oxide) associates in solution with certain electrolytes (48—52). For example, high molecular weight species of poly(ethylene oxide) readily dissolve in methanol that contains 0.5 wt % KI, although the resin does not remain in methanol solution at room temperature. This salting-in effect has been attributed to ion binding, which prevents coagulation in the nonsolvent. Complexes with electrolytes, in particular lithium salts, have received widespread attention on account of the potential for using these materials in a polymeric battery. The performance of soHd electrolytes based on poly(ethylene oxide) in terms of ion transport and conductivity has been discussed (53—58). The use of complexes of poly(ethylene oxide) in analytical chemistry has also been reviewed (59). 

Use of Coagulants Coagulants may also react with other constituents of the wastewater, particularly anions such as phosphate and sulfate, forming hydrolysis products containing various mixtures of ions. The chemistry of the reactions is extremely complex and highly dependent on pH and alkalinity. The presence of... 

The effectiveness of inorganic coagulants is dependent upon water chemistry, and in particular - pH and alkalinity. Their addition usually alters that chemistry. Table 2 illustrates the effect of the addition of 1 ppm of the various inorganic coagulants on alkalinity and solids concentration. 

Problems which arise with certain precipitates include the coagulation or flocculation of a colloidal dispersion of a finely divided solid to permit its filtration and to prevent its re-peptisation upon washing the precipitate. It is therefore desirable to understand the basic principles of the colloid chemistry of precipitates, for which an appropriate textbook should be consulted (see the Bibliography, Section 11.80). However, some aspects of the colloidal state relevant to quantitative analysis are indicated below.

In most experiments the smallest amount of electrolyte needed to coagulate the sols measured after 2 hours standing was chosen as the CCC. When using HC1, this point is the critical coagulation pH. A constant temperature water bath was used for temperature different than 23°C. The pH values were measured with a Beckman Model 96A pH meter and a Fisher combination electrode. The electrophoretic mobility measurements were made with a Laser Doppler Electrophoresis apparatus. These experiments were performed by Mr. J. Klein of the Chemistry Department, Syracuse University.
