    Notes: Abstract Plasma ionized calcium [Ca++] concentrations are decreased in patients having lactic acidosis. To further investigate this observation, we prospectively studied nine critically ill patients who had lactic acidosis and measured arterial pH, PCO2, [Ca++], lactate, and albumin concentrations. We found a strong association between decreased [Ca++] and increased plasma lactate concentrations (r 2=0.78,p≤0.001). This unexpected association — [Ca++] usually increases with increasing acidosis — might be clinically important and the mechanism deserves further investigation.

    Notes: The partition of surfactants and a biosurfactant-producing microorganism was studied in polyethylene glycol and dextran aqueous two-phase systems. In the presence of sodium phosphate, surfactants distributed themselves according to charge. Cationic surfactants preferred the bottom phase, while anionic surfactants were attracted to the top phase. Incresing the phosphate molarity or the pH resulted in a more 1-sided surfactant partitioning. Biosurfactant partitioning was weaker than synthetic surfactant partitioning due to the weaker effective charge and lack to strong specific affinity for any of the phase-forming polymers. Bacillus Subtilis cells partitioned very storngly to the bottom phase. The bioscurfactant, surfactin, produced by this microorganism partitioned to the top phase. Batch fermentations were carried out in an aqueous 2-phase system. Surfactin was produced in larger quanities in the 2-phase fermentation than in the regular mineral salts medium.

    Notes: The effect of zinc catalysts on the hydrolytic depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) melts in excess water was studied using a 2-L stirred pressure reactor at temperatures of 250, 265, and 280°C. The main products of the reaction were found to be terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Rate constants were calculated from initial rate data at each temperature and found to be about 20% greater than the corresponding rate constants for uncatalyzed hydrolysis. The catalytic effect of zinc, as well as sodium, salts is attributed to the electrolytic destabilization of the polymer-water interface during hydrolysis. The depolymerization rate data at 265°C were found to fit a kinetic model proposed earlier for the uncatalysed hydrolysis of PET. The effect of zinc and sodium salts on the activation energy of hydrolysis, or on the formation of ethylene glycol monomer is unclear. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The reaction of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) melts with ethylene glycol was examined in a pressure reactor at temperatures above 245°C. The reaction rate was found to depend on temperature and on the concentrations of liquid ethylene glycol and of ethylene diester groups in the polymer. A kinetic model proposed for the initial period of the reaction was found to be consistent with experimental data. It was found that internal catalysis by ethylene glycol does not play an important role in the glycolytic depolymerization of PET. The rate constants for glycolysis were calculated for three different temperatures, yielding an activation energy of 92 kJ/mol. Zinc salts, which have a catalytic effect on glycolysis of PET below 245°C, do not appear to influence glycolysis rates above that temperature. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The hydrolytic depolymerization of molten PET in excess water was studied using a 2 L stirred pressure reactor at temperatures of 250, 265, and 280°C. Rate constants for hydrolysis are calculated from the initial rate data. At initial water: PET charge ratios (w/w) exceeding 5.1, essentially complete depolymerization to monomer is possible at 265°C. At lower water: PET initial charges, an equilibrium is established. The equilibrium constants are calculated for 2 g water/g PET at three temperatures. A kinetic model is proposed to describe the hydrolysis reaction. The model is shown to fit experimental data and to yield good predictions for the equilibrium concentration of carboxyl groups. Carboxyl-group concentrations are measured using an end-group analysis technique. Potentiometric titrations are carried out in one of two solvent systems, dimethylphenol:chloroform or dimethylsulfoxide, depending on the extent of hydrolysis. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A mechanism for the production of multiply charged molecular ion species in electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS) is still required. A concise discussion of a recently published ionic solution equilibrium model offering a partial mechanism is presented. That publication proposed that the ion abundance-charge profile could be fitted by one or a series of superimposed Gaussian functions, in accord with a solution equilibrium model. It is shown that indeed a simulated mass spectrum based on a solution odel can compare well with the observed spectrum. However, some new and recently published experimental evidence is presented which shows that the ES mass spectra of many proteins give rise to multiply charged molecular ions which carry higher charges than those calculated by the model. Further, the ion abundance-charge profile is very sensitive to some experimental parameters, e.g. cone voltage; it does not necessarily reflect the solution or gaseous ion populations in the mass spectrometer source. Therefore, the concept that gaseous multi-charged ions originate from equivalently charged solvated ions in electrically neutral solution must be treated with caution.
