Speciation of Arsenic in Drinking Water by Dispersive Liquid–Liquid Microextraction,Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry,and Orthogonal Array Design

Orthogonal array design was used to optimize arsenic speciation in drinking water in contact with materials by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction followed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Arsenic speciation was achieved by the formation of an arsenic(III) hydrophobic complex with a new chelating agent, 1,2,6-hexanetriol trithioglycolate, at neutral pH. The complex was extracted into the organic phase, while arsenic(V) remained in aqueous solution. The concentration of As(V) was determined by subtracting As(III) from the total arsenic following the reduction of As(V) to As(III) by L-cysteine. Orthogonal array design with OA₁₆ (44) and OA₉ (33) matrices was used to optimize the efficiency of dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction and the reduction of As(V) to As(III), respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit was 0.03?µg?L^?1 for As(III) and the relative standard deviation was 5.9% with an enhancement factor of 87. The calibration curve was linear from 0.19 to 3.0?µg?L^?1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996. The developed method was used for arsenic speciation in solutions of drinking water that contacted materials. The recoveries of fortified samples were in an acceptable range from 92.0 to 113.3%.     

Characterization of Sixteenth to Nineteenth Century Ottoman Silk Brocades by Scanning Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Historical textiles in the Topkap? Museum, which are called silk kaftans and brocades by art historians from the sixteenth and nineteenth were characterized by scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) and high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection for identification of metal threads and dyestuffs. In the most Ottoman textiles, metal threads, especially belonging to the sultans, were used as the gold gild. Although the chemical composition of the samples on the surface may easily be obtained by SEM–EDX, the thickness of the thin gold layer on metal threads cannot be obtained directly. Hence, the goal of this project is to describe whether metal threads are gilded or not and to measure coating thickness. A new method was developed for measuring the thickness of gold layer, and the modeling was reformed. The SEM–EDX results were interpreted in accordance with the theoretical models. The coating thickness of metal threads was subsequently measured in ancient textiles. The thickness, depth, and valuable metal composition in the threads of the artistic objects were obtained by this approach. Dye analysis was used to characterize the presence of indigotin, carminic acid, ellagic acid, and luteolin in the historical textiles.     

Well Oriented ZnO Nanorods Array: Negative Resistance and Optical Switching

Well‐oriented ZnO nanorods (NRs) arrays were grown on Si, alumina, quartz, and FTO substrates through a ZnO seed layer followed by low temperature wet chemical process. The influence of sputtered ZnO seed layer thickness (100, 50, 32, and 16 nm), annealing temperature and CuO_x coverage on the characteristics of ZnO NRs were investigated in this study. The crystalline structural, chemical, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO NRs arrays were studied by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emission‐ scanning electron microscopy equipped by energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (FE‐SEM/EDX), Raman scattering, UV/Vis ‐ near IR absorption spectroscopy and current‐voltage characteristic. XRD and Raman spectra measurement revealed that the synthesize ZnO displayed hexagonal wurtzite structure. The individual rod diameter, density, and orientation can be controlled by varying the seed layer thickness. The mean diameter and maximum length of ZnO NRs are around 55–66 nm and 282 nm, respectively. ZnO NRs/ ZnO thin film structure shows optical switching and negative differential resistance behavior as applicable to ON/OFF gate and memory devices.     

Effect of emulsification processes on the stability of Pickering emulsions stabilized by organomontmorillonites

In this paper, effect of emulsification processes on the properties of Pickering emulsions stabilized by organomontmorillonites (OMts) was studied. Results of micro-morphology and X-ray diffraction showed that the structure of OMt in emulsion depended on the emulsification processes and had an effect on the stability of emulsion. We propose a schematic diagram to reveal the relationship between emulsification processes-OMt laminates structure-stability of Pickering emulsion. In emulsion prepared by ultrasonic, OMt showed uniform dispersion, loose structure, and irregular crystalline. In emulsion prepared by vortex mixing method, OMt illustrated stacking and coagulation structure. In emulsion prepared by microwave method, OMt showed interacting structure and had a little interaction with oil/water interface, and thus the properties of emulsion prepared by microwave was weakly related to oil/water ratios. Emulsification processes had a profound effect on the structure of OMt and stability of Pickering emulsion, which can be used as a trigger to prepare emulsion for various applications.     

Rapid separation and simultaneous quantitative determination of 13 constituents in Psoraleae Fructus by a single marker using high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection

Psoraleae Fructus is one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicines. Coumarins, flavonoids, and meroterpenes are the main contributors to the biological activity of Psoraleae Fructus. In this study, a new method for the quality control of Psoraleae Fructus was developed, through the quantitative analysis of multicomponents by single marker with diode array detector. Thirteen components, including psoralenoside, isopsoralenoside, psoralen, isopsoralen, psoralidin, neobavaisoflavone, bavachin, corylin, isobavachalcone, corylifol A, bavachinin, bavachalcone, and bakuchiol were rapidly separated and identified within 12 min by the newly developed method. The feasibility and reliability of this method were corroborated. The method was also compared to the external standard method and detection by corona charged aerosol detector. The results of percent difference (%) and cos (θ) have shown that there were no significant differences observed between the quantitative analysis of multicomponents by single marker and external standard method analyses; psoralen and isopsoralen were undetectable with the corona charged aerosol detector due to their but the sensitivity for all the compounds except bakuchiol detected by corona charged aerosol detector are higher than those obtained by diode array detector. In addition, the newly method developed was applied to the quality evaluation of Chinese patent medicines containing Psoraleae Fructus.     

Ultrasound as a Promising Tool for the Green Extraction of Specialized Metabolites from Some Culinary Spices

Spices are a popular food of plant origin, rich in various phytochemicals and recognized for their numerous properties. The aim of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, as well as the content of specialized metabolites, of aqueous extracts of three spice species––garlic (Allium sativum L.), ginger (Zingiber officinalle L.) and turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)––prepared by green extraction methods. Ultrasound treatment increased the chromaticity parameter b value of turmeric and ginger extracts, thus indicating a higher yellow color predominantly due to curcuminoids characteristic of these species. Ultrasound-assisted extraction significantly increased the content of total soluble solids, phenolic compounds, total carotenoids and vitamin C. The temperature of the system was also an important factor, with the highest (70 °C) conditions in ultrasound-assisted extraction having a positive effect on thermolabile compounds (vitamin C, phenolics, total carotenoids). For example, turmeric extract treated with ultrasound at 70 °C had up to a 67% higher vitamin C content and a 69.4% higher total carotenoid content compared to samples treated conventionally at the same temperature, while ginger extracts had up to 40% higher total phenols. All different concentrations of spice extracts were not sufficient for complete inhibition of pathogenic bacterial strains of Salmonella, L. monocytogenes and S. aureus; however, only garlic extracts had an effect on slowing down the growth and number of L. monocytogenes colonies. Spice extracts obtained by ultrasonic treatment contained a significantly higher level of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity, suggesting that the extracts obtained have significant nutritional potential and thus a significant possibility for phytotherapeutic uses.
