At present, there is no colorimetric method for the quantitation of the aroma compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). A novel colorimetric method was developed for the determination of 2AP content using chromium hexacarbonyl (Cr(CO)6) as a reagent. The reaction of synthetic 2AP with chromium hexacarbonyl reagent solution in the presence of light produced a green product with an absorption maximum (λmax) at 623 nm. GC–MS was used to confirm the color-change reaction, which showed the loss of 2AP after the addition of Cr(CO)6. This novel method enables facile and cost-effective determination of 2AP in fragrant rice. A comparative analysis of fragrant and nonfragrant rice grain extracts showed that no color-change reaction occurred with the nonfragrant rice sample. A limit of detection (LOD) of 2.00 mg L−1 was determined by method validation with an effective linear concentration ranging from 5.00 to 60.00 mg L−1 of 2AP. The results obtained using the developed colorimetric method were consistent with those obtained by automated static headspace gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (SHS-GC–NPD). 相似文献
The theoretical limit of the color-change sensitivity of a composite resin dosimeter film based on 6-nitro BIPS/BaFCl : Eu2+/polystyrene under X-ray exposure has been estimated. Each photophysical and photochemical process occurring inside the composite resin dosimeter was quantitatively determined, and the obtained values were used to estimate the theoretical limit of the color-change sensitivity for the composite resin dosimeter. The values obtained were 70.6 % for the X-ray absorption efficiency, 13 % for the fluorescence quantum yield, 73.5 % for the UV absorption efficiency and 37.6 % for the photochemical quantum yield. Assuming that the figure-of-merit is their product, its value is estimated to be 2.5 %, which contributes to the chromaticity difference and leads to a color-change sensitivity of 100 mGy. The figure-of-merit of a structurally optimized composite dosimeter was estimated to be 1.9 times that of the dosimeter without structural optimization, which showed a sensitivity of 100 mGy. We predicted that the structurally optimized composite resin dosimeter film, which eliminates optical losses due to the structure, will be able to detect X-ray exposure doses on the order of approximately 28 mGy. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] Novel macrocycles possessing ether linkages and 2,6-disubstituted phenolics were produced in one step and with 100% atom economy by isoaromatization of chameleon macrocyclic precursors possessing 2,6-diarylidenecyclohexanone moieties. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the phenolic hydrogen atoms influenced the shape of the macrocycles and dictated host-guest behavior. 相似文献
Twenty-seven glass fragments containing dark coloured grisaille paint layers of different qualities were collected from ten windows of the cathedral St. Michael & St. Gudule in Brussels (Belgium). The windows were made by J.-B. Capronnier (1814–1891) and cover the period between 1843 and 1878. The samples were cross-sectioned and examined in an electron microscope. Grisaille paint layers are not homogeneous and therefore, it is not meaningful to characterize them in terms of their average composition. Instead, parameters such as granularity, the number of residual gas bubbles per running millimetre of paint, the type of pigments, and the thickness of the paint layer were used to characterize them. The microscopic morphology allows a classification of the grisaille paint layers in four groups, every group associated with a quality level. Moreover, the main causes of the accelerated degradation of some of these paint layers could be explained. The classification made it possible to distinguish two periods in the work of Capronnier: (1) the early period (1843–1848) is characterized by the presence of either single granular paint layers or of double-layered systems consisting of a granular paint layer on top of a well-melted paint layer. The granular grisaille paint layers tend to pulverize; (2) the later period (1848–1878) is characterized by the presence of only well-vitrified paint layers. No sign of deterioration was found on the well-vitrified paint layers. 相似文献
The floors, concrete walls and many of the metal surfaces in nuclear power plant containments are coated with zinc primers or paint films to preserve the metal surfaces and simplify decontamination in the containment after the occurrence of a severe nuclear incident or accident. A chemical examination of paint films from different nuclear installations out of operation, as well as current operating ones, reveals that different types of paints are used whose composition can vary significantly. Results obtained for one type of paint at a certain nuclear site are in most cases unlikely to be comparable with sites painted with another type of paint. During normal operation and particularly during nuclear accidents, the paints will degrade under the high temperature, steam and irradiation influence. As paint and its degradation products can act as sources and depots for volatile iodine compounds, the type and aging conditions of the paint films will have a significant impact on the source term of the volatile fission product iodine. Thus, great care should be taken when extrapolating any results obtained for the interaction of radioactive iodine with one paint product to a different paint product. The main focus of the study is a comparison of the chemical profile of paint films applied in Swedish nuclear power plants. Teknopox Aqua V A, an epoxy paint recently used at Ringhals 2, and an emulsion paint used in the scrubber buildings of Ringhals 1–4 are compared with a paint film from Barsebäck nuclear power plant unit 1 that had been aged under real reactor conditions for 20 years. In addition, two paint films, an emulsion and a gloss paint, used in an international nuclear fuel reprocessing facility, are compared with the paints from the Swedish nuclear power plants. 相似文献
We are presenting new fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) made from silica or polystyrene. Such NPs are potentially useful for purposes of cellular imaging and sensing. The NPs were surface-modified with amino groups, and longwave absorbing and emitting dyes were then conjugated, via their reactive chloro atoms, to the NPs. The reactions proceed at temperatures of around 65 °C and in predominantly aqueous solution, and are accompanied by a color change from typically green to blue. By analogy to other labels giving this effect, we refer to such dyes as chameleon labels. All NPs were characterized in terms of size, by absorption and emission spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and zeta potentials. The chameleon effect also was used to detect the presence of minute quantities of amino groups on the surface of NPs, both by absorptiometry and, with particular sensitivity, by fluorescence.
Nanoparticles made from silica, polystyrene or lanthanide-doped NaYF4 are presented that have been labeled with a new class of longwave dyes that undergo a color change on reacting with surface amino groups (the so-called chameleon effect). This effect can also be used to detect the presence of amino groups on such particles.
A radiotracer technique was used to investigate the leaching of an antifouling agent from different marine paint formulations with an objective to select the best paint formulation for bulk production. The antifouling agent (Diuron) itself was labeled with carbon-14 (half-life: 5,730?years, ??-energy: 156?keV) and used as a radiotracer. The different paint formulations added with radiolabeled Diuron were applied onto suitably selected substrates and measured for initial intensity of ??-radiation using a Geiger-Muller detector connected to a ratemeter. The painted substrates were subjected to shower tests for a pre-decided time and subsequently measured for ??-radiations. The comparison of intensity of ??-radiations in substrates prior and post shower tests provides information about leaching of antifouling agent Diuron from the paint formulation. The high leaching percentage of antifouling agent Diuron post shower tests indicates non-suitability of paint formulation for marine and civil structures. However, low leaching rate of Diuron will make a paint formulation more efficient and suitable. Based on the results of investigation, a paint formulation with minimum leaching rate was identified and selected for bulk production by a paint company. 相似文献
The use of paint as a coating for toys intended for sale on the European market is controlled by a European Standard (EN 71-3:
1994-European Standard for the Safety of Toys, Part 3—Migration of Elements). This work is the result of a preliminary study
organised by the European Commission to produce a new paint reference material which can be used to validate the test methods
given in the European Standard. The migration of elements from painted panels and comminuted paint produced by the Laboratory
of the Government Chemist, (U.K.) was studied. Several methods were used in this certification exercise and this work reports
the recults of neutron activation analysis and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to determine the migration of
As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Se and Sb into a simulated stomach environment. Replicate extracts obtained from paint samples gave
a precision of within 10% for most elements by both analytical techniques for the paint panels and for the comminuted paint
sample. This preliminary study has shown that the standard method can provide reproducible results for each of the paint materials
studied and indicates that the study should be continued to produce a fully certified paint reference material. 相似文献
