Abstract:
:The study aimed to develop simple assays to study aluminium-ligand interactions in natural/biological systems where equilibrium is rarely reached and thus where the initial seconds or hours of interactions are important. The immediate and non-equilibrium precipitation of aluminium hydroxide, in aqueous solution at neutral pH, was therefore studied by laser light scattering (diffraction), ultrafiltration and centrifugation. The interaction of weak ligands, present in the gastrointestinal lumen, on the precipitation of aluminium hydroxide was also investigated. The initial kinetics and particle sizes of precipitated aluminium hydroxide were sensitive to a number of external factors, including the presence of weak ligand (bicarbonate), sheer force (stirring), electrolyte concentration and initial (i.e. added) aluminium concentration. However, after a few seconds (no weak ligand), or several hundred seconds (with weak ligand), the subsequent observed changes to the solid phase were of small magnitude and occurred slowly. Thus, a 25-min window, within 5 and 30 min of pH adjustment, can be used to study the interactions of aluminium-ligand. This may approximate better to most natural systems where unperturbed aluminium-ligand equilibrium must rarely exist.
