Abstract
Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was employed to investigate the adsorption of phenylphosphonic acid onto the surface of alumina from aqueous solution. It was found that an initial chemisorption occurred with monolayer coverage, reaching a maximum at a solution pH of 3.0. The results were interpreted as indicating that this and related adsorptions are controlled by ligand exchange processes involving electrostatic attraction between oppositely-charged species. In a separate project, high performance liquid chromatography was employed for the quantitative analysis of aminophylline in commercial thigh cream formulations. The analysis required derivatization of the compound by dansylation under carefully-controlled conditions. This enhanced its detection and separation from other cream components.
