Organic reagents separations involving

Applications of HPLC for Hg speciation studies have been reviewed by Harrington.83 Practically all HPLC methods for Hg speciation reported in the literature are based on reversed-phase separations, involving the use of a silica-bonded phase column and a mobile phase containing an organic modifier, a chelating or an ion pair reagent, and in some cases, a pH buffer. 

A more recent international journal. Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry, was introduced in 1982. It requires camera-ready copy and is devoted primarily to the organic and physical chemistry of carbohydrates, such as novel synthetic methods mechanisms involved in carbohydrate reactions uses of carbohydrates in the synthesis of natural products, drugs, and antibiotics use of carbohydrates as synthetic reagents separation methods as applied to carbohydrate reactions and synthesis spectroscopic and crystallographic structure studies of carbohydrates molecular modeling studies and the chemistry of carbohydrate polymers, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and glycoconjugates. 

The gravimetric determination of beryllium may involve the precipitation of beryllium-ammonium phosphate or beryllium hydroxide. In many methods, organic reagents are employed and in others, organic salts of beryllium. Volumetric methods for the determination of beryllium are based on the formation of stable stoichiometric complexes of beryllium. The use of complexes of beryllium eliminates the labor involved in the separation of interfering elements when beryllium is determined in multicomponent media [17]. 

Solvent Extraction Reagents. Solvent extraction is a solution purification process that is used extensively in the metallurgical and chemical industries. Both inorganic (34,35) and organic (36) solutes are recovered. The large commercial uses of phosphine derivatives in this area involve the separation of cobalt [7440-48-4] from nickel [7440-02-0] and the recovery of acetic acid [61-19-7] and uranium [7440-61-1]. 

It is ironic that organic synthesis and separation science are separate disciplines because synthesis and separation are inseparable. The vast majority of organic reactions involve the combination of a substrate with other organic molecules (reagents, reactants, catalysts) to make a new organic product. The synthesis exercise is not complete until the desired product of the reaction has been separated from everything else in the final reaction mixture. Accordingly, the yield of every chemical reaction is limited by both the efficiency of the reaction and the efficiency of the separation. 

His expertise in the field of reverse osmosis involved him in organizing two sessions on reverse osmosis in separation processes for the Gordon Research Conferences in 1982. He initiated, organized, and acted as chairman of the first session on reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration processes of the Gordon Research Conferences in 1983 and was an invited speaker on reverse osmosis at the Gordon Research Conferences in 1985. He is a member of the ACS Committee on Analytical Reagents and the American Society for Testing and Materials, D-19.06.
