The dissociation behaviour of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(ethylene-alt-maleic acid) has been investigated by both classical potentiometric titration and colloid titration as an alternative way. In the case of colloid titration, the monovalent counterions are assumed to be replaced by the oppositely charged polycation in the course of titration, so that the total concentration of anionic groups of the polycarboxylic acid is determined. As a consequence the apparent dissociation constants determined by polyelectrolyte complex formation do not depend on the degree of dissociation. In contrast to this finding, potentiometric titration is known to result in apparent dissociation constants which decrease with increasing degree of dissociation. The release of protons from the acid groups of the polycarboxylic acids is promoted by the complex formation with the strong cationic polyelectrolyte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) nanoparticles for delivering model protein drug ovalbumin were prepared from two polysaccharide polymers, alginate and chitosan. The parameters influencing the complex formation were characterised using colloid titration in combination with dynamic light scattering. The polyelectrolyte interactions and morphology of the formed complexes were verified by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The PEC formation was predominantly pH- and concentration-dependent. The complexation of ovalbumin with a negatively charged alginate occurred only at a pH below the isoelectric point of the ovalbumin. After the complexation, negatively charged complexes of alginate and ovalbumin were further coated with chitosan. The optimal composition of the PEC, yielding 280 nm sized particles having a zeta potential -40 mV, was determined for alginate:ovalbumin:chitosan in a mass ratio 1 : 1 : 0.1, respectively, giving their final concentration 0.5 : 0.5 : 0.05 mg/ml. The loading of ovalbumin in the PEC depended on the initial amount of ovalbumin used to produce the PEC, and ranged from 7-38% for different formulations, however, the association efficiency remained pretty similar for all formulations, i.e. 80-85%. Mild formulation conditions, nanometre-sized particles, and a high protein association efficiency are promising factors towards the development of a delivery system for proteins.

Abstract: Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and colloid titration (CT) were used to characterize aqueous polyelectrolyte complex formation between strong polyelectrolytes, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and potassium poly(vinyl sulfate) and between weak polyelectrolytes, polyvinylamine (PVAm) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). ITC gives information about the evolution of polyelectrolyte complex properties but does not give good measure of the charge balance composition. By contrast, CT determines the charge balance endpoint but reveals nothing about the path to the endpoint. For strong polyelectrolyte complexes based on fixed charge polymers, the CT curves are very clean giving a sharp endpoint. The corresponding ITC curves are relatively simple although the endpoints are not as distinct as CT. ITC does, however, indicate the onset of phase separation. For weak polyelectrolyte complexes (PVAm/CMC) based on polymers with labile charges, ITC gives complicated curves which are sensitive to pH, ionic strength and the order of addition. The most dramatic effects occur at pH 5–5.9 where we propose that complex formation induces the CMC to ionize further during the titration. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

COLLOIDS , *VOLUMETRIC analysis , *ELECTROLYTES - Abstract
Colloid titration and streaming current detector are two popular techniques used to determine the charge density of dissolved and colloidally dispersed polyelectrolytes. However, both techniques are based on some assumptions that may not be valid under some circumstances. In this paper, a membrane separation technique developed to determine the charge density and characterize a charge neutralization reaction is described. The technique characterizes the reaction between cationic and anionic charge carriers by measuring the counterions released during reaction or the unreacted small molecule charge carriers. Membranes with selected cutoff pore size were used to separate the species of interest from the bulk of the reaction mixture. Three different charge determination techniques were also compared.

COLLOIDS , *VOLUMETRIC analysis - Abstract
Surface charge quantification of polymer solutions and sludge suspensions were investigated by the colloid titration technique and compared to charge densities obtained by pH-titration. The colloid titration technique worked well for polymer samples. The charge quantity of humic acid and activated sludge extracellular polymers (EPS) was estimated to be −1.51 and −0.42 meq/g, respectively. These values are reasonable when compared to pH-titration results. The surface charge of activated sludge particles appears to be below the limit of detection. However, surface charge estimates are obtained, when the reactant doses and sample concentration are increased. It is suggested that such estimates are not correct, but artefacts of the non-stoichiometric precipitation of the polymeric reactants at high doses. It appears that the colloid titration method is limited to conditions of low reactant doses and valid for charge determination of extracted sludge polymers, whereas the method is not valid for charge determination of whole sludge.

- Abstract
The concentration influence of some commercial polyethylenimines, used as retention agents, on the retention efficiency during the sheet formation is studied in this paper. The conditions of an industrial wire end have been simulated by means of a dynamic jar of exclusive design. Measurements of the zeta potential have been taken to quantify the surface charge of particles and the colloid titration ratio (quotient between the cationic demand and the anionic demand of pulp slurries) has been evaluated. Both techniques have proved convenient to monitor the retention level; therefore, they are efficient methods to control the retention level in the sheet formation. The univocal relation existing between zeta potential and the logarithm of the colloid titration ratio has been demonstrated. Finally, the variation of the level of turbulence has proved the importance of the hydrodynamics factors in the retention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The anionic charge of humic substances (HS) plays a major role in the interaction of HS with other components. Therefore, the potential of the polyelectrolyte titration technique to obtain the charge density of HS in simple 1–1 electrolyte solutions has been investigated. Titrations are carried out with an automatic titrator combined with the “Mutek particle charge detector” which allows determination of the Mutek potential and the pH as a function of the added amount of titrant which is a solution of poly-diallyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC), a cationic strong polyelectrolyte. When the Mutek potential reverses its sign the iso-electric point (IEP) of the polyDADMAC–HS complex is reached. The polyDADMAC/HS mass ratio at the IEP gives information on the HS charge density and from the pH changes in solution an estimate of the charge regulation in the HS–polyDADMAC complex can be obtained. In general, for polyDADMAC–HS complexes an increase in the dissociation of the acid groups of HS is found (charge regulation). The charge regulation decreases with increasing concentration of 1–1 background electrolyte. Cation incorporation can be neglected at 1–1 electrolyte concentrations ⩽ 1 mmol L−1 and a 1–1 stoichiometry exists between the polyDADMAC and HS charge. However, at these low salt concentrations the charge regulation is substantial. A detailed analysis of purified Aldrich humic acid (PAHA) at pH 5 and a range of KCl concentrations reveals that the anionic charge of PAHA in the complex increases at 5 mmol L−1 KCl by 30% and at 150 mmol L−1 KCl by 12%. On the other hand, increasing amounts of K+ become incorporated in the complex: at 5 mmol L−1 KCl 5% and at 150 mmol L−1 KCl 24% of the PAHA charge is balanced by K+. By comparing at pH 5 the mass ratios polyDADMAC/PAHA in the complex at the IEP with the theoretical mass ratios of polyDADMAC/PAHA required to neutralize PAHA in the absence of charge regulation and K+ incorporation, it is found that at 50 mmol L−1 KCl the extra negative charge due to the interaction between polyDADMAC and PAHA is just compensated by K+ incorporation in the complex. Therefore, a pseudo 1–1 stoichiometry exists at about 50 mmol L−1 1–1 electrolyte concentration and only at this salt concentration polyDADMAC titrations and conventional proton titrations give identical results. Most likely this is also true for other HA samples and other pH values. For FA further study is required to reveal the conditions for which polyDADMAC and proton titrations give identical results.

The preparation of SAMS-CMC-CS bipolar membrane grafted onto CMC by SAMS was reported. The cross-section view of SAMS-CMC-CS BM were studied by SEM. FT-IR spectrum indicated that SAMS-CMC-CS BM contained-SO 3−,-COO− and −N=CHR functional groups. Compared with CMC-CS BM, SAMS-CMC-CS BM appears to have better mechanical strength and chemical stability in alkali solution at [OH−]≥9.5 mol/L, with a swelling of 55 %. The electrochemical properties of SAMS-CMC-CS BM were also studied. SAMS-CS-CMC BM not only effectively prevented FeO 42− from diffusing into the cathode chamber, but also played an important role in the supply of OH− consumed during the electro-generated FeO 42− process.

11. Continuous filtration and titration apparatus for real time monitoring of polyelectrolyte concentration and cationic demand of a paper furnish
- Abstract
This paper presents the application of a continuous real-time colorimetric titrator coupled to a continuous filtration apparatus, allowing polyelectrolyte concentration and cationic demand measurements to be undertaken on a paper furnish. A continuous filtration device is utilized that selectively separates dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS) from a paper furnish. By utilizing a back titration procedure, it was possible to utilize the continuous titration apparatus directly on the filtrate in order to monitor furnish charge on a pulp sample in real-time. The apparatus was utilized to study the dynamics of polyelectrolyte adsorption onto fiber surfaces, as well the change of fiber surface charge at varying pH values and for different pulp samples taken from the bleaching process of a kraft pulp., QC 20100525

Les auteurs, après une synthèse bibliographique sur la coagulation, présentent deux modèles mathématiques reliant la dose optimale d'un coagulant, le sulfate d'aluminium, à la qualité de l'eau brute.Un premier modèle applicable aux eaux dont la turbidité est inférieure à 20 NTU tient compte de quatre variables caractéristiques de l'eau brute qui sont : la turbidité, la résistivité, la température, la teneur en matières organiques.Le second modèle, utilisable pendant les périodes de crue, intègre un cinquième descripteur : la nature de la suspension minérale.Des essais effectués sur l'usine de Clairfont, qui alimente la rive gauche de Toulouse, montrent que ces modèles sont parfaitement adaptés pour automatiser l'injection du coagulant., When the source of supply of a water treatment plant has a streaming behaviour, it is sometimes difficult to adjust correctly the coagulant dose by jar-testing alone.Following this remark, the municipal water utilities of Toulouse city (France) has decided to conduct a study on the modelisation of coagulant dose as a function of the quality of raw water.This study started first by a bibliographic survey to find the main parameters which affect the flocculation mechanisms, followed by a hydrologic study of the upper Garonne river to characterize as well as possible its behavior.This was following by a study of the influence of certain parameters on the efficiency of coagulation by aluminium sulfate on synthetic waters having characteristics close to those of the Garonne river (BAZER-BACHI, 1986). This work showed the rote of the turbidity, of the resistivity, of the temperature and of the nature of mineral suspension. It also indicated the non-linearity between the optimum coagulant dose and these parameters as well as the interactions between them.These conclusions led us to use a second degree polynomial model, as : k k kY = bo + ∑ bi Xi + ∑ bii X2i + ∑ bij Xi Xj i = 1, j = 2, i ≠ jData were collected from modified jar-test on water from the Garonne River, characterized by physico-chemical (turbidity, temperature, pH, resistivity, CEC, MES, colloid titralion, organic matters) and chemical analyses (mineralisation). As the hydrological study showed that the nature of colloid suspension changed only during storm events, the modelisation was divided in two sub-groups :- a « CALME » model, comprising four variables (turbidity, resistivity, temperature, organic matters), for low turbidity waters (below 20 NTU),- a « CRUES » a model, using a fifth parameter representative of the nature of suspension (the ratio between colloid titration and turbidity).The « CALME » model, which fitted very well, showed the primordial influence of the temperature and organic matters, and then of the turbidity. Removal of resistivity was not advisable, as this parameter showed strong interactions with turbidity and organic matters (fig. 3, 4).The « CRUES » model showed the primordial role of the turbidity followed by the temperature and then by organic matters. The two other parameters, less significant, should nevertheless be kept if a good quality of forecast is to be maintained with this model. It can be further improved once all the experimental domain has been investigated.The very good results obtained in full-scale at the Clairfont plant, by adjusting the coagulant feed rate according to the forecast of our models, led us to implement a coagulation automate, in operation in 1989.
