In this paper, removal of lead from aqueous solutions is investigated using a novel gel adsorbent synthesized from natural condensed tannin. The novel adsorbent performs in aqueous solutions as a weak base with valid basic groups of 1.2mmol·g-1 tannin gel particles and therefore results in the elevation of pH value of aqueous solutions. Even when initial pH is 3.6, final pH at equilibrium can climb up to 6.5 that is above the pH value for Pb(OH)2 precipitation formation and then lead can be removed from wastewater by this so-called surface precipitation. The adsorption isotherm can be expressed by the Langmuir equation and the maximum capacity for adsorption of Pb is up to 92 mg·g-1 (based on dry adsorbent) when initial pH value is 3.6. Hence, the adsorbent does offer favorable properties in lead removal with respect to its high adsorption capacity at low initial pH value, which is advantageous to lead removal from acidic wastewater. A model is put forward to describe the individual adsorption phenomenon of the tannin gel adsorbent.展开更多

Methods Serum levels of HA, PCIIIP, and LN in 39 patients with CHF E [14 with New York Heart Association （NYHA） functional class II, 21 with class Ⅲ, 4 with class Ⅳ] and in 46 patients with NYHA functional class I were assessed by radioimmunoassay. Results The serum concentrations of HA, PCMP, and LN were 359.75 ± 84.59 μg/L, 77.88 ± 24. 67 μg/L, 86. 73 ± 23.90 μg/L in CHF group, and 211.60 ±54. 80 μg/L, 64.82 ±23.99 μg/L, 82. 26 ±23.98 μg/L in NYHA functional class Ⅰ group, respectively. The HA level was significantly higher in CHF patients as compared with NYHA functional class Ⅰ group （ P 〈 0.05 ）. However, no difference was found in the levels of PCIIIP and LN between CHF group and NYHA functional class Ⅰ group. The serum HA concentration was negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction （ r = - 0.71, P 〈 0.05 ）. Conclusion Serum HA level may act as an indicator for myocardial fibrosis.展开更多
