β¦ Synopsis
A variety of nmr transient techniques demonstrate the absence of domain structures in powders of a-and /3-cyclodextrins, dextran B512F, and their "deuterated" analogs where deuterium replaces exchangeable protons. Cyclodextrins and dextran are inferred to be homogeneously ordered and disordered one-phase systems, respectively. We show how erroneous results concerning the presence and sizes of rigid and mobile domains can be reached from the interpretations of two-component free induction decays and spin-lattice relaxation behavior of polysacchaxides. In our approach, we have measured 'H free induction decays and lineshapes, and 'H spin-lattice and dipolar relaxation times, in addition to using Goldman-Shen experiments and I3C crasspolarization magic-angle sample spinning. Self-consistent nmr results are suggested as essential means to corroborate conclusions concerning domain structures in biopolymers.

The interaction of dextrin and guar gum with pyrite has been investigated through adsorption, flotation, and electrokinetic measurements. The adsorption densities of the polysaccharides onto pyrite reveal a region of higher adsorption density in the pH range 7.5-11, with a maximum around pH 10 for b
