The fluorescence intensity could be greatly increased when the system of Tb^3＋-TLA was treated with La^3＋ （or Gd^3＋） and TritonX- 100. The addition of La^3＋ （or Gd^3＋） enhanees the fluorescence of the system by about two orders of magnitude due to cofluorescenee, and the TritonX-100 micellar medium plays an important role for stabilization of the system. Both the intermolecular energy transfer mode and intramolecular energy transfer mode are responsible for the mechanism of fluorescence enhancement. In the optimum condi- tions, the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb3~ concentration in the range of 7.8 × 10^-9-3.6 × 10^4 mol/L for the system Tb^3＋-La^3＋-TLA and 1.0 × 10^-8-4.7 × 10^-5 mol/L for the system Tb^3＋-Gd^3＋-TLA, and the limits of detection are 4.6 × 10^-10 mol/L and 6.0 × 10^-10 mol/L, respectively.展开更多

The results showed that the degree of extraction of [1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid was larger than that of trimellitic acid for all of the solvent, and the extraction capacity with TRPO is more effective than the one with TBP. The extraction behavior of aromatic polyacid is different from that of carboxylic acid, and the reactive extraction function of aromatic acids with TBP and TRPO is not as effective as that of carboxylic acid. 1-octanol could be used to remove [1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid from the mixture of trimellitic acid and [1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid. Because the weak hydrogen bond association exists between -OH in 1-octanol and -COOH in aromatic acid, the extractive selectivity of [ 1, 1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic to trimellitic acid depends on the stoichiometric ratio.展开更多
