Effect of temperature on the adsorption of phosphatidylcholine by silicon-containing materials with various degrees of order

Resumo

Features of the adsorption of phosphatidylcholine (PCh) by inorganic silicon-containing materials with various degrees of order (MCM-41, MMC-1, and silica gel) from solutions in hexane under equilibrium conditions in the temperature range of 283–323 K are considered. It is found that the adsorption of the phospholipid within the C_e = (0.6–4.0) × 10^–4 mmol/dm³ range of concentrations on the investigated materials is characterized by monomolecular absorption. Differential thermodynamic characteristics (ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS) of the sorption of PCh by silicon-containing materials with various degrees of order in the temperature range of 283–323 K are considered. An increase in the affinity of silicon-containing materials toward the phospholipid upon an increase in the temperature of the sorption process is observed.
