Recovery of 3%-Enriched Uranium by Means of a Chemical Method

Continuous bench-plant operation for about 4 months has resulted in the first recovery of 3%-enriched uranium by means of a chemical-exchange process. This confirms the reduced development time and uranium adsorption band stability predicted by mathematical models, which are derived by application of mass transfer concepts to redox chromatography and extension of addition reaction equilibrium equations to include multiphase systems. Furthermore, it confirms the achievement of a reduction in stage time by >10/sup 3/ through catalytic acceleration of the isotope-exchange rate and employment of an adsorbent with a high adsorption/desorption rate.

Effects of Zeta Potential on the Permeability of Dialysis Membranes to Inorganic Phosphate

Some patients on hemodialysis have elevated plasma phosphate values. The chemical and physical properties of dialysis membranes may cause reduced inorganic phosphate clearance, leading to hyperphosphatemia. The zeta potential was determined by a streaming potential method using an electrolytic, aqueous solution to elucidate discrepancies in phosphate ion transport through cellulosic and polymethylmethacrylate membranes. The authors also carried out dialysis experiments at 310K to obtain solute permeability for H32PO4(2-), overall mass transfer coefficient for HPO4(2-), and pure water permeability. This study demonstrates that permeability to inorganic phosphate ion does not vary with zeta potential for cellulosic membranes, but polymethylmethacrylate membranes with highly negative zeta potentials may suppress phosphate removal from patients on hemodialysis.

慢性腎不全患者8名に対し, 従来のセルロース膜 (SD膜) とポリエチレングリコール鎖 (PEG) の量を100ppmおよび180ppm化学結合 (グラフト) させたPC膜の3種類のダイアライザーに対して, 通常の透析時の投与ヘパリン量を100%として, 投与ヘパリン量を80%および60%に減量したときの膜へのタンパク吸着量LDH吸着量, 血液由来付着物およびダイアライザー内の残血度合いを調べた. タンパク吸着量は, グラフト量が増えるに従って減少する傾向にあり, ヘパリン量が減少すると増加する傾向にあった. 電気泳動による吸着タンパクのパターンから, 明らかにPC膜ではSD膜に比べてタンパクのバンドの数が少なくなっていることが示された. 血球付着の指標となるLDH吸着量の測定では, 有意な差は認められないもののタンパク吸着量と同様にグラフト量が増えるに従って減少し, 投与ヘパリン量が減少すると増加する傾向が示された. 膜の内表面のSEM観察からも, 血液由来成分の付着量はタンパク吸着量と同様の結果が得られた. 残血状態を肉眼観察によって4段階の残血度数で比較すると, 投与ヘパリン量が減少すると残血度数は上昇する傾向が示されたが, グラフト量による残血度合いには有意な差はなかった. また, タンパク吸着量の除水率による影響を調べた結果, PC膜へのタンパク吸着量は除水率の影響を受けにくいことが示唆された. 投与ヘパリン40%減の条件下における白血球数の変動については, PC膜は, SD膜に比べて白血球減少を抑制し, グラフト量が増加するに従ってその傾向が強く現れた. セルロース膜にPEG鎖をグラフトさせたPC膜は従来のセルロース膜に比べて, 減ヘパリン透析条件下においても白血球減少を抑制し, 膜への付着物が少なく減ヘパリン透析が可能な透析膜であることが示唆された.
