Magnesium calcium concentration

The lipid in muscle is composed primarily of triglycerides (depot fats) and of phospholipids (membrane components), and is a constituent which varies enormously not only in amount present, but also in properties such as degree of saturation (species dependent). The ash of lean meat is comprised of various minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc Carbohydrate was not noted in the proximate composition because while some may be present, it is normally there in low concentration compared to the other constituents. Glycogen is the carbohydrate occurring in greatest concentration in muscle but is normally degraded soon after the animal is sacrificed.

Milk from clinically mastitis infected, sub-clinically mastitis infected and healthy cows has been shown to differ in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus concentrations (El Zubeir et al., 2005). The study reported that milk from cows infected with sub-clinical mastitis had significantly lower potassium and higher sodium and phosphorus concentrations. Similarly, the milk from cows with the clinical form of the disease had a higher sodium and lower potassium, magnesium and calcium concentration. 

Calcium-selective electrodes have long been in use for the estimation of calcium concentrations - early applications included their use in complexometric titrations, especially of calcium in the presence of magnesium (42). Subsequently they have found use in a variety of systems, particularly for determining stability constants. Examples include determinations for ligands such as chloride, nitrate, acetate, and malonate (mal) (43), several diazacrown ethers (44,45), and methyl aldofuranosides (46). Other applications have included the estimation of Ca2+ levels in blood plasma (47) and in human hair (where the results compared satisfactorily with those from neutron activation analysis) (48). Ion-selective electrodes based on carboxylic polyether ionophores are mentioned in Section IV.B below. Though calcium-selective electrodes are convenient they are not particularly sensitive, and have slow response times. 

Savory et al. 3S) measured calcium and magnesium directly in protein-free filtrates of serum or urine. Baker et al. 36) found that both trichloroacetic acid and hydrochloric acid suppress calcium absorption and that uniform acid content is therefore required for the determination of calcium. Okuda and Sasamoto37) determined calcium by adjusting solution conditions to 20 — 50 % methanol and 650 mg % lanthanum serum is diluted 21-fold and urine is diluted 10—21 fold to bring the calcium concentration into the optimum range of 1 to 0.5 mg %. 

Dissolved Concentrations of Calcium and SO2 Species. The equilibrium dissolved concentrations of total calcium and SO2 (sulfite plus bisulfite) species are important because comparison of these equilibrium concentrations with actual measured values determines the degree of gypsum saturation, and hence the potential for gypsum scale formation in the scrubber. As a first approximation, the fraction gypsum saturation of a scrubber liquor, having specified pH and specified concentrations of magnesium and chloride, is proportional to the measured calcium concentration, and inversely proportional to the measured S02 concentration.

Water from the sea obviously contains high levels of sodium and chlorine. Sea water, though, differs from other forms of salt water and fresh water in the ratio of magnesium calcium. In fresh water, the ratio of magnesiumxalcium is from about 1 2 to 1 3. In sea water, the ratio can range from 3 1 to as high as 4 1. This difference helps to distinguish sea water from fresh water. TABLE 4-13 provides information on the concentration of various components found in sea water. 

There are a number of possible sensor options for a y-ray spectrometer. These include a germanium sensor or scintillators made of various synthetic materials. Elements that are routinely analyzed with y-rays include silicon, iron, titanium, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum, plus the radioactive elements potassium and thorium (uranium concentrations are usually too low). 

This method is used for water with a varying salt content, but with a view to the weakly alkaline reaction in the solution in titration, one should never have a total calcium and magnesium ion concentration in a water sample exceeding 0.5 mg-equiv/litre. There-... 

For both cesium and barium sorption, there is reasonable agreement between the total concentrations of desorbed species and the ion-exchange capacities determined by isotopic redistribution. The small differences which exist could easily be due to the precision in the elemental analyses. (Also, the experimental technique would not have detected desorption of hydrogen ions.) The solid-phase concentrations of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium.

Using 150 pL of sample, a complete report containing the concentration of ionized magnesium, ionized calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, pH and recalculated to pH — 7.40, the so-called pH-cor-rected ionized magnesium and calcium concentration can be obtained after a total measurement time of less than 2 min. The lifetime of the Mg-ISE is 2000 blood samples [4]. 

The observation that calcium and magnesium ion activity coefficients are generally similar in aqueous solution has led to the concept that the calcium to magnesium ion concentration ratio should be fixed at a given temperature and... 

This effect is relatively small until the total magnesium ion concentrations reach about 1000 ppm. o The effect of Mg2+ concentration on limestone dissolution rate can be explained by a surface adsorption model. The adsorption of Mg2+ reduces the limestone dissolution rate because the surface is partially blinded by the adsorbed magnesium ions. The competitive adsorption of calcium and magnesium ions was described by a mathematical model based on the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The model was used to explain the sensitivity of limestone dissolution rate to magnesium ion concentration under limestone DA operating conditions. 

Unusual parameter ratios, for example, Ca/Mg or Na/Cl. For example, groups of analyses where all magnesium concentrations are similar but calcium concentrations have a wide range may indicate that calcium and bicarbonate were lost during sampling or storage.
