Abstract Waste-expanded polystyrene (EPS) and virgin (VPS) were converted into ion exchangers by chemical modification. For this purpose, we used silica sulfuric acid as the sulfonating agent conducted sulfonation under heterogeneous conditions. VPS, influence of quantity agent, temperature, reaction time on product properties studied. As it appeared, simplifies in comparison with conventional methods. Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectra elemental analysis revealed that products...

Human serum albumin (HSA) plays a fundamental role in the human body. It takes part transport of exogenic and endogenic substances, especially drugs. Ibuprofen (IBU) is one most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, for pain relief, fever purposes. The binding ligands with HSA significant factor which determines toxicity therapeutic dosages these substances. aim this study was to compare degree ibuprofen at various temperatures protein solution pH values. In order evaluate...
