ABSTRACT
This study reports the results of the chemical analysis of the Longissimus thoracis and lumborum taken from 20 llama males, reared in the Andean highlands. The animals were slaughtered at 25 months and had a mean final body weight of 63kg. Llama meat shows a low fat (3.51%) and cholesterol content (56.29mg/100g). The fatty acid composition in llama meat contains 50.34% saturated fatty acids, 42.48% monounsaturated fatty acids and 7.18% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Llama meat appears to be a healthy alternative red meat choice.
ABSTRACT
The chromatographic behavior of charged analytes in ion interaction chromatography (IIC) is theoretically investigated. The chemical modifications of the stationary and mobile phases in the presence of ion interaction reagent (IIR) are theoretically shown to change the partition coefficient for charged molecules. The most reliable literature experimental results concerning retention behavior of charged molecules in IIC were used to test the new theory. Retention equations are compared with those that can be obtained from the most important retention models in IIC. The present exhaustive retention model, which is well-founded in physical chemistry, goes further than the previous ones whose retention equations can be viewed as limiting cases of the present theory. The present extended thermodynamic approach reduces to stoichiometric or electrostatic retention models if the surface potential or pairing equilibria are respectively neglected. Moreover, it is able to quantitatively explain experimental evidences that cannot be rationalized by the existing retention models.
ABSTRACT
Sulphur and sulphide ions react in (K,Na)SCN eutectic melt with the formation of polysulphide. The electrolytic oxidation of SCN(-) at 155 degrees forms S(4) which gives S(2-)(5) with S(2-); at 165 degrees the sulphur electrogenerated is S(2) that reacts according to S(2) + S(2-) = S(2-)(3). The equilibrium constants of these reactions have been obtained by voltammetric measurements. The formation of S(2) at 155 degrees by irradiation from a xenon lamp was confirmed. The S(2) reacts with S(2-) to give S(2-)(3), and the equilibrium constant for this reaction is the same as that found for the reaction at 165 degrees .
ABSTRACT
The electrochemical behaviour of water, hydrogen ion, and molecular hydrogen has been investigated in (Na,K) acetate melt at 250 degrees with bright platinum electrodes by means of chronopotentiometry and voltammetry.
ABSTRACT
The feasibility of the titration of some cations in molten sodium thiocyanate-potassium thiocyanate mixture with electrolytically generated sulphide ions has been tested at 443 K. Quantitative data are given for the titration of cadmium, mercury and zinc ions.
