Chemometric application in classification and assessment of monitoring locations of an urban river system

The study presents the application of selected chemometric techniques: cluster analysis, principal component analysis, factor analysis and discriminant analysis, to classify a river water quality and evaluation of the pollution data. Seventeen stations, monitored for 16 physical and chemical parameters in 4 seasons during the period 1999-2003, located at the Bagmati river basin in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal were selected for the purpose of this study. The results allowed, determining natural clusters of monitoring stations with similar pollution characteristics and identifying main discriminant variables that are important for regional water quality variation and possible pollution sources affecting the river water quality. The analysis enabled to group 17 monitoring sites into 3 regions with 5 major discriminating variables: EC, DO, CL, NO₂N and BOD. Results revealed that some locations were under the high influence of municipal contamination and some others under the influence of minerals. This study demonstrated that chemometric method is effective for river water classification, and for rapid assessment of water qualities, using the representative sites; it could serve to optimize cost and time without losing any significance of the outcome.     

Biosorption characteristics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ceratophyllum demersum</Emphasis> biomass for removal of uranium(VI) from an aqueous solution

Understanding the mobility of radiocesium and radiostrontium within geological environment is important from ‘deep geological repository system’—safety assessment point of view. Cs and Sr radionuclide sorption studies have been carried out with a stalagmite sample collected from Lesser—Himalayas. Detailed microstructural studies, backed up by micro-Raman and LIBS analyses, identified three different domains within the sample; constituted of microcrystalline calcite, botryoidal aragonite and palisadic calcite respectively. Experimental studies showed that both the radionuclides exhibit moderate to low sorption coefficients within all the different domains of stalagmite under acidic environment.     

Antioxidant activity of hydro distillation water residues from Rosmarinus officinalis L. leaves determined by DPPH assays

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a perennial herb with an intensive aromatic flavor. Its most important chemical constituents are essential oils (e.g., 1,8-cineole and camphor) and antioxidants (e.g., carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid). The common methods to extract the essential oil of rosemary are steam or hydro distillation. The aim of this work is to investigate the residual antioxidants after hydro distillation, especially rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid. For this purpose, the hydro distillation water residues were analyzed by HPLC-UV. Moreover, the influence of the extraction duration on the concentration of the antioxidants was investigated. Also, the residual amount of these compounds in the leaves was examined. The total antioxidant activity of the extracts and of the pure compounds was determined by DPPH assays. It is shown that after 2.5 h of hydro distillation the amount of rosmarinic acid and the antioxidant activity in the water residue reaches a maximum value. In addition, the yield and the quality of the essential oil were investigated to draw a comparison between steam and hydro distillations of Moroccan rosemary leaves.     

Heavy-metal pollution and its state in algae in Kakehashi river and Godani river at the foot of Ogoya mine, Ishikawa Prefecture.

Alga as Achnanthes minutissima among diatoms is a widely adaptable taxon on the state of an aquatic environment. In this study, it was found that diatom had a specific tolerance to heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd etc.) in river water samples, because the diatom assemblage consisted of almost only Achnanthes minutissima in Kakehashi river and Godani river, which were polluted with waste water from Ogoya copper mine. The relationship between the concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) in river water and the attached substances (algae and silt etc.) and the relative abundances of diatom taxa were investigated in detail. The results indicated that the higher is the concentration of heavy metals in the river environment, the higher is only the relative abundances of Achnanthes minutissima. Thus, the taxon can be used as a bioindicator of heavy metal pollution. The relative rates of toxic chemical forms of copper in algae were 61 - 92% in the attached substances and 49-70% in the sediment on the river bed, respectively. Therefore, it was found that diatom as Achnanthes minutissima had a tolerance to heavy metals in river water, being able to live in such an environment. Since the water treated with calcium hydroxide from the deposition reservoir of Ogoya mine enters in Godani river, the river is polluted by heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd etc.). From the viewpoint of both biological and chemical analyses, Godani river is still polluted with heavy metals, because their concentrations in the river samples were very high. On the other hand, in Kakehashi river, the concentrations of heavy metals were very low and the distributions of some diatoms appeared in an unpolluted Nishimata river were observed. Therefore, Kakehashi river seems to be considerably recovered from heavy-metal pollution after closing the Ogoya mine.     

Lead hydro sodalite [Pb2(OH)(H2O)3]2[Al3Si3O12]2: synthesis and structure determination by combining X-ray rietveld refinement, 1H MAS NMR FTIR and XANES spectroscopy

Ion exchange of the sodium hydro sodalites [Na3(H2O)4]2-[Al3Si3O12]2 [Na4(H3O2)]2[Al3Si3O12]2 and [Na4(OH)]2[Al3Si3O12]2 with aqueous Pb(NO3)2 solutions yielded, whichever reactant sodalite phase was used, the same lead hydro sodalite, [Pb2(OH)-(H2O)3]2[Al3Si3O12]2. Thus, in the case of the non-basic reactant [Na3(H2O)4]2-[Al3Si3O12]2 an overexchange occurs with respect to the number of nonframework cationic charges. Rietveld structure refinement of the lead hydro sodalite based on powder X-ray diffraction data (cubic, a = 9.070 A, room temperature, space group P43n) revealed that the two lead cations within each polyhedral sodalite cage form an orientationally disordered dinuclear [Pb2(micro-OH)(micro-H2O)(H2O)2]3+ complex. Due to additional lead framework oxygen bonds the coordination environment of each metal cation (CN 3+3) is approximately spherical, and clearly the lead 6s electron lone pair is stereochemically inactive. This is also suggested by the absence of a small peak at 13.025 keV, attributed in other Pb2+-O compounds to an electronic 2p-6s transition, in the PbL3 edge XANES spectrum. 1H MAS NMR and FTIR spectra show that the hydrogen atoms of the aqua hydroxo complex (which could not be determined in the Rietveld analysis) are involved in hydrogen bonds of various strengths.     

Sulphonamide Residues in Italian Surface and Drinking Waters: A Small Scale Reconnaissance

The occurrence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment is an important emerging issue due to potential adverse effect of these compounds on ecosystem and human health. For a correct environmental risk assessment there is a need for appropriate analytical methods for monitoring antibiotic residues in a variety of water matrices. This paper describes a method for the determination of eleven sulphonamide compounds in surface and drinking waters using solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Recoveries of the analytes in both surface and drinking water matrices at different fortification levels, always exceed 87%; the limits of quantification in surface water samples are between 0.005 and 0.021 μg L⁻¹ depending on the compound, and the interday method precision is less than 12%. Matrix effects were evaluated in drinking and surface water samples. The method has been applied to a small scale reconnaissance of river, lake, mineral and municipal water samples; results indicate the occurrence of sulphonamides in some surface and mineral waters analyzed.     

Behavior of long-lived radionuclides in the Danube river ecosystem in Serbia

Summary Radioactivity of water and sediments from the Danube river in its course through Serbia during 2001-2003 years has been tested by alpha- and gamma-ray spectrometry. Except for cesium originating from Chernobyl, the radioactivity level of water and sediment coincide with the content of natural radionuclides in the environment of rivers basin. No increase in the radioactivity of sediments, due to slowing down of the water flow, was observed. The obtained results were analyzed in accordance with the model which considers only naturally occurring radionuclides originating in river sediment. The distribution coefficients for natural radionuclides are determined.

Inherent safety evaluation in process plants— a comparison of methodologies

A global population increase and an improved standard of living are generally expected. To meet these demands, an increased production of chemicals will be necessary while protecting human health and the environment. However, most current methods of chemical production are unsustainable. New designs must result in plants that assure process and operator safety, the sustained health of workers and the community, and the protection of the environment. Traditional safety precautions and process controls minimize risk but cannot guarantee the prevention of accidents followed by serious consequences. Therefore, the general approach to environmental and safety problems must be changed from reactive to proactive. One way is to further develop the concept of inherent safety. In this paper some methods for inherent safety evaluations are reviewed. The aim of the study is to analyze the different tools available for inherent safety evaluation and identify the most important criteria in determining the inherent safety of a process plant. A model is proposed to show the interactions of different factors on the inherent safety level of a process and the model is illustrated by a case study.
