Ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction for the determination of six pyrethroids in river water

A simple ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method combined with liquid chromatography was developed for the preconcentration and determination of six pyrethroids in river water samples. The procedure was based on a ternary solvent system to formatting tiny droplets of extractant in sample solution by dissolving appropriate amounts of water-immiscible extractant (tetrachloromethane) in watermiscible dispersive solvent (acetone). Various parameters that affected the extraction efficiency (such as type and volume of extraction and dispersive solvent, extraction time, ultrasonic time, and centrifuging time) were evaluated. Under the optimum condition, good linearity was obtained in a range of 0.00059–1.52 mg L⁻¹ for all analytes with the correlation coefficient (r²) > 0.999. Intra-assay and inter-assay precision evaluated as the relative standard deviation (RSD) were less than 3.4 and 8.9%. The recoveries of six pyrethroids at three spiked levels were in the range of 86.2–109.3% with RSD of less than 8.7%. The enrichment factors for the six pyrethroids were ranged from 767 to 1033 folds.     

Rapid automated screening, identification and quantification of organic micro-contaminants and their main transformation products in wastewater and river waters using liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry with an accurate-mass database

In this study we have developed and evaluated an analytical method for a rapid automated screening and confirmation of a large number of organic micro-contaminants (almost 400) and also the quantification of the positive findings in water samples of different types (surface and wastewaters) using liquid chromatography-electrospray quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOFMS) based on the use of an accurate-mass database. The created database includes data not only on the accurate masses of the target ions but also on the characteristic in-source fragment ions, isotopic pattern and retention time data. This customized database was linked to commercially available software which extracted all the potential compounds of interest from the LC-QTOFMS raw data of each sample and matched them against the database to search for targeted compounds in the sample. The detailed fragmentation information has also been used as a powerful tool for the automatic identification of unknown compounds and/or transformation products with similar structures to those of known organic contaminants included in the database. The database can be continually enlarged. To confirm identification of compounds which have no fragment ions (or fragments with low intensity/relative abundance) from in-source CID fragmentation or isomers which are not distinguished within full single mass spectra, a "Targeted MS/MS" method is developed. Thereafter, these compounds can be further analyzed using the collision energy (CE) in QTOF-MS/MS mode. Linearity and limits of detection were studied. Method detection limits (MDLs) in effluent wastewater and river waters were, in most cases, lowers or equal to 5 and 2 ng/L, respectively. Only 15 compounds had MDLs between 5 and 50 ng/L in effluent wastewater matrix. We obtained a linearity of the calibration curves over two orders of magnitude. The method has been applied to real samples and the results obtained reveal that most of the pharmaceutically active compounds contained in the created database were present in the water samples with concentrations in the range of ng/L and μg/L levels and in most of the samples between 2 and 15 pesticides of the 300 contained in the database were also detected. In addition to the compounds included in the database, some degradation products were found, thus revealing the method as a useful tool for the analysis of organic micro-contaminants in waters.     

Integrated chemical process for exothermic wave synthesis of high luminance YAG:Ce phosphors

In this paper, high-luminance yellow-emitting Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ phosphor (YAG:Ce) microparticles were prepared in a solid flame using a 1.425Y₂O₃+2.5Al₂O₃+0.15CeO₂+k(KClO₃+urea)+mNH₄F precursor mixture (here k is the number of moles of the KClO₃+urea red-ox mixture, and m is the number of moles of NH₄F). The self-sustaining combustion process for the entire reaction sample was provided by the heat generated from the KClO₃+urea mixture. Parametric studies demonstrated that the maximum temperature in the combustion wave varied from 885 to 1200 °C for k=2.0-3.0 mole and m=0-1.5 mole. X-ray analysis results showed that the product obtained in the solid flame consisted of Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ and KCl phases. Therefore, after dissolving potassium chloride in distillated water, pure-phase YAG:Ce phosphor powder was obtained. The as-prepared YAG:Ce phosphor particles had diameters of 10-25 μm and good dispersity and exhibited luminescence properties comparable to those of YAG:Ce phosphor powders prepared by conventional high-temperature processing.     

基于动态模态分解的长江口海表温度时空分布特征重构研究

河口近海海域的海表温度分布特征对于深入理解海洋热力、动力过程及海气相互作用等自然过程及综合效应具有重要意义。卫星数据重构是精确获取动态大面积海表温度数据的重要手段,采用非线性系统的动态模态分解（dynamic mode decomposition,DMD）数据分析方法,利用2003年1月至2016年7月的MODIS\SST数据,经剔除异常数据、填补空白数据后,重构了2016年8月至2019年12月长江口海洋表面温度数据,并评估了重构效果。研究结果表明,在时序数据充足的情况下,DMD算法能很好地解决动态系统的采样问题。DMD结合正交三角（orthogonal right triangular,QR）分解算法能有效重构长江口的海表温度数据,平均均方根误差（root mean square error,RMSE）为0.007 6。进一步分析发现,无论是DMD算法还是DMD结合QR分解算法,还原结果精度都较高。     

伊犁河、额尔齐斯河两水域中东方欧鳊的几个生化指标的比较研究

东方欧鳊(Abramis brama orientalis Berg)源于苏联咸海,我区伊犁河和额尔齐斯河均有分布,由于地理隔离的结果,两水系的东方真鳊已在形态学上出现了某些差异,为进一步探明二者间的亲缘关系,我们进行了鱼肉蛋白质含量、鱼肉氨基酸组成,LDH同工酶、血清蛋白等生化指标的比较研究,结果表明除了氨基酸组成及含量基本未发生变化外,其余三项指标均有显著不同,即说明两水系的东方欧鳊已出现种群间差异,至于是否已分化成两个不同的亚种,尚待进一步研究.

在华南沿海地区的低矮丘陵及台地上，广泛发育一套黄色粉土堆积。对该区7个典型剖面进行系统的激光粒度分析，并与典型黄土以及研究区常见的海、河相沉积进行对比。结果表明，华南沿海各黄色粉土剖面均以10～50 μm的粗粉砂为众数粒组，<5 μm的粘粒为次众粒组，分别对应风成黄土的“基本粒组”和“挟持粒组”，岩性均属于粘土质粉砂。样品的粒度参数、粒度散点图、频率分布曲线、粒度指数特征均显示为典型的风成成因。粒度判别分析结果为负值，同样证实了黄色粉土的风成特性。华南沿海黄色粉土的各项粒度特征指标及其所反映的沉积类型、沉积环境均与我国典型黄土具有较好的可比性，而与研究区的海、河相沉积截然不同。

THE RESEARCHES OF GLACIER LAKE OUTBURST FLOODS OF THE YARKANT RIVER IN XINJIANG

The Jokulhlaup of the Yarkant River (Yarkant He) is usually csused by the sudden discharge of the glacier-dammed lake and the mode of the discharge is the rapid expansion of the subglacial channel. Keyajir (Kyagar) Glacier and Telamukanli Glacier are on the upper reaches of the Keleqin (Shaksgam) River, the chief birthplaces of this kind of flood. Up to the end of this century, since the global climate has become warmer, the glaciers have accordingly shrunk and become thinner, with the result that the size and dimensions of the glacier-dammed lakes and their outburst floods have diminished. All these simply reveal the mystery of the Jokulhlaups of the Yarkant River in Xinjiang.
