Preparative-scale separation of concentrated solutions of simplest mineral electrolytes by size-exclusion chromatography was performed on three samples of commercially available microporous hypercrosslinked polystyrene sorbents "Macronet Hypersol" and two experimental samples of activated carbons. Selectivity of separation of a pair of electrolytes was found to be determined by the largest ions in each pair. Fortunately, selectivity rises at higher concentrations of electrolytes, which was explained by exclusion of smaller species from the concentrated solution, i.e., mobile phase, into small pores of the column packing that are inaccessible to large species. The separation of concentrated mixtures revealed another remarkable advantage of the new process - self-concentrating of each of two separated components in the corresponding fractions. Self-concentration is more pronounced for the minor component that occupied less space in the initial mixture. The new method may prove productive in processing pickle bath solutions.

Non-destructive chromatographic methods were used to determine the hold-up volumes of four self-packed columns containing embedded phosphate groups. The stationary phases are named Diol-P-C10, Diol-P-C18, Diol-P-Benzyl and Diol-P-Chol. The hydrophobicity of organic ligands bound to the phosphate group increases in the benzyl< decyl < octadecyl

Biological organisms engineer peptide sequences to fold into membrane pore proteins capable of performing a wide variety of transport functions. Synthetic de novo-designed membrane pores can mimic this approach to achieve a potentially even larger set of functions. Here we explore water, solute, and ion transport in three de novo designed β-barrel membrane channels in the 5-10 Å pore size range.

Controllable ion transport and precise ion sieving are crucial for sustainable water treatment and resource recovery. 2D materials, including graphene oxide (GO) with tunable nanochannels, are emerging as ideal material platforms to develop ion sieving membranes. However, accurate ion sieving remains challenging due to the swollen and enlarged interlayer spacing of GO membranes in aqueous solution, resulting in the non-selective of small ions.

Solid-state protein formulations are known to exhibit enhanced storage stability compared to their liquid dosage form counterparts. pH is one of the factors affecting the stability of protein formulations. The pH of protein formulations in the solution could be influenced by the buffer used, directly impacting their solid-state stability.

Soy proteins mainly comprise 7S and 11S globulins, which have distinct structural and physical properties. To investigate the impact of soy protein composition on structure formation during high moisture extrusion (HME), fractions enriched in 7S or 11S globulins were prepared and blended in different ratios for lab-scale HME processing. Extrudates prepared from the 11S globulin-enriched fraction were inhomogeneous, as opposed to all other extrudates.
