Determination of pesticides in honey by ultrasonic solvent extraction and thin-layer chromatography

A rapid method for quantitative determination of atrazine and simazine in honey samples was investigated. The procedure was based on the extraction of pesticides by sonication with benzene:water = 1:1 (v/v) mixture, thin-layer chromatographic separation and quantification by CAMAG Video Documentation system in conjunction with the Reprostar 3. The extraction procedure was optimized with regard to the amount of solvent, duration of sonication and the number of extraction steps. The apparent recovery of pesticides from honey was 92.3 ± 2.4 for atrazine and 94.2 ± 2.8 for simazine, when they were extracted in three steps for 20 min using 20 ml of solvent. Ultrasonic solvent extraction was compared with traditional shake-flask extraction method.     

Solvent polarity and hydrogen-bonding effects on the nitrogen NMR shieldings of N-nitrosamines and DFT calculations of the shieldings of C-, N-, and O-nitroso systems

High-precision nitrogen NMR shieldings, bulk susceptibility corrected, are reported for dimethyl-N-nitrosamine (I) and diethyl-N-nitrosamine (II) in a variety of solvents which represent a wide range of solvent properties from the point of view of polarity as well as hydrogen bond donor and acceptor strength. The observed range of solvent-induced nitrogen shielding variations of (I) and (II) is significant for the amino-type nitrogens, up to about 16 ppm, and originates essentially from the deshielding effect of the increasing polarity of solvent. On the other side, the nitroso nitrogen shieldings reveal an even stronger response to solvent effects, within about 20 ppm, but in this case the increasing polarity and hydrogen bond donor strength of solvent produce enhanced shielding. DFT quantum-mechanical calculations using the GIAO/B3PW91/6-311++G** approach and geometry optimizations employing the same basis set and hybrid density functionals show an excellent correlation with the experimental data on C-, N-, and O-nitroso moieties and reproduce not only major changes but also most of the subtle variations in the experimental nitrogen shieldings of the nitroso systems as a whole. A combination of the calculations involving the corresponding N and O-protonated species and the trends observed in the solvent-induced nitrogen shielding variations shows clearly that the prime acceptor site for hydrogen bonding is the nitroso oxygen atom.     

Hamiltonian and partition function of the generalized model of polypeptide chain in competing and non-competing solvents in the presence of interchain interactions

For the generalized model of polypeptide chain in competing and non-competing solvents, the Hamiltonian is constructed with allowance for interchain interactions. It is shown that the partition function for the model in a solvent coincides to inessential factor with the partition function without solvent, if redefinition is made of the reduced interaction energy J for a competing solvent and of the number of conformations Q for a non-competing solvent.

Polymer thermophoresis in solvents and solvent mixtures

The thermophoresis of homopolymer chains dissolved in a pure non-electrolyte solvent or solvent mixture is theoretically examined. Thermophoresis is related to the temperature-dependent pressure gradient in the solvent layer surrounding the monomer units (mers). The gradient is produced by small changes in the solvent or solvent mixture density due to the mer-solvent interaction. The London-van der Waals interaction was considered as the main reason of the excess pressure around mers. The resulting expression for the thermophoretic mobility (TM) contains the Hamaker constant for mer-solvent interaction, as well as solvent thermodynamic parameters, including the cubic thermal expansion coefficients of the solvents and the temperature coefficient of the solvent partition factor (for the solvent mixture). This expression is used to calculate the interaction constants for polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) in several organic solvents and binary solvent mixtures using thermophoretic data obtained from thermal field-flow fractionation. The calculated constants are compared with values in the literature and found to follow the same order among the different solvents and to be of the same order of value although several times larger. Furthermore, the model explains weak polymer thermophoresis in water compared with less polar solvents, which correlates also with monomer size. The concentration dependence of polystyrene TM in solvent mixtures also provides a satisfactory explanation by the proposed theory using a concept of secondary diffusiophoresis due to secondary temperature-induced solvent concentration gradient. The method for the evaluation of the diffusiophoresis contribution is proposed.     

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of three bufadienolides from Chinese medicine ChanSu

In this study, the application of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method was shown to be more efficient in extracting anti-tumor bufadienolides (bufalin, cinobufagin and resibufogenin) from important animal medicine of ChanSu than the maceration extraction (ME) and soxhlet extraction (SE) method. The effects of ultrasonic variables including extraction solvent, solvent concentration, solvent to solid ratio, ultrasound power, temperature, extraction time and particle size on the yields of three bufadienolides were investigated. The optimum extraction conditions found were: 70% (v/v) methanol solution, solvent to solid ratio of 10ml/g, ultrasound power of 125W, temperature of 20°C, extraction time of 20min and particle size of 60-80 mesh. The extraction yields of bufalin, cinobufagin and resibufogenin were 43.17±0.85, 52.58±1.12, 137.70±2.65mg/g, respectively. In order to achieve a similar yield as UAE, soxhlet extraction required 6h and maceration extraction required much longer time of 18h. The results indicated that UAE is an alternative method for extracting bufadienolides from ChanSu.     

Effect of ultrasound and green solvents addition on the oil extraction efficiency from rapeseed flakes

The current procedure of rapeseed oil extraction is based on a first extraction step by pressing followed by a second extraction step with hexane. This solvent being toxic for the users, the consumers and the environment, its use could be forbidden within the coming years. Stimulated by a stringent regulation, the research activity for the replacement of toxic solvents shows a significant development. The aim of this study was to select alternative solvent to hexane such as ethanol or isopropanol, and, to adjust the oil extraction process by developing an ultrasound assisted method. The objective was to reach a comparable efficiency but also to enhance the oil quality. When applied to isopropanol, the ultrasound assisted extraction method has shown promising results, and comparable to those obtained with hexane (oil yield of 80% for hexane and 79% for isopropanol at optimum extraction conditions (20 min of ultrasound pretreatment followed by 2 h of additional solid/liquid extraction)). Conversely, in studied conditions, ethanol did not seem to be an appropriate alternative solvent to hexane as the extraction yields obtained by using this solvent were quite low.

The structure of liquid methylamine and solutions of lithium in methylamine

The technique of hydrogen/deuterium isotopic substitution in neutron diffraction has been used to measure the intra- and intermolecular correlations in liquid methylamine, and 2 and 8 MPM (mole percent metal) lithium methylamine solutions. We find that pure methylamine forms only one strong hydrogen bond per molecule, with evidence for weaker orientations towards the methyl group. As one introduces lithium metal, the intramolecular structure of the solvent is unaltered. However, intermolecular hydrogen bonding is progressively disrupted as the concentration of (solvated) cations and excess electrons increases. Comparison of the total structure factors for 0, 2, 8 and 20 MPM lithium methylamine solutions shows that the greatest shift in the position of the principal peak occurs between 8 and 20 MPM. This can be correlated to the electron delocalization associated with the non-metal-metal transition.

Selectivity and temperature dependence of phase and phase transition in diblock copolymer solution

In order to study the effects of solvent selectivity and temperature on phase behavior and transition of diblock copolymer solution, self-consistent field theory is modified to incorporate the short-range interaction and non-local effects. Inhomogeneous free-energy density is shown to be dependent on solvent selectivity, temperature and copolymer concentration. Enthalpic quantity and entropic contributions are crucial to phase diagrams of diblock copolymer solution. Three selective strengths of solvent --weak, moderate and strong-- are chosen for comparison. For a weakly selective solvent, theoretical and experimental results illustrate the same variation tendency in the phase boundary of the order-disorder transition for a symmetric diblock of polystyrene and polyisoprene. Self-consistent field equations can be used to calculate the exact FCC-BCC structural phase transition temperatures in moderately and strongly selective solvents. Detailed comparison with the experimental phase diagrams including lamellar, cylindrical and spherical structures is presented.     

Phase behaviour of hyperbranched polymers in demixed solvents

Hyperbranched polymers have attracted increased interest because of their tunable properties, which are affected by their architecture and a wide range of different functional groups. Many applications of hyperbranched polymers have been proposed based on their liquid–liquid phase behaviour. In recent years, the Lattice Cluster Theory (LCT) has been used to consider the impact of the architecture on the phase behaviour of hyperbranched polymers. In the theoretical framework of the LCT, the chain architecture is included in the Helmholtz energy, so all derived properties are influenced by polymer architecture. Until now, the application of the LCT in the field of hyperbranched polymers has been limited to ternary systems composed of one polymer with an arbitrary chain structure, one trimer and one solvent. This paper aims to extend the LCT to a ternary system that includes two polymers with an arbitrary chain structure and one solvent occupying one lattice site. In contrast to previous studies, the ternary system consists of Boltorn H20?+?butan-1-ol?+?water, where all of the binary subsystems show demixing behaviour. Whereas experimental data are reported in the literature for the binary subsystems Boltorn H20?+?water and butan-1-ol?+?water, no experimental information is available for the binary subsystem Boltorn H20?+?butan-1-ol. Therefore, the phase behaviour of this subsystem was measured using the visual method. The paper discusses the possibility of predicting the ternary phase behaviour with the LCT in combination with the modified Wertheim theory based on knowledge of the phase behaviour of the corresponding binary subsystems. To verify the theoretical results, the ternary phase equilibria at constant temperature were also measured. In addition, the dependence of the thermodynamic properties on the special production lot of the commercially available Boltorn H20 is discussed.     

Ultrasonically controlled particle size distribution of explosives: a safe method

Size reduction of the high energy materials (HEM's) by conventional methods (mechanical means) is not safe as they are very sensitive to friction and impact. Modified crystallization techniques can be used for the same purpose. The solute is dissolved in the solvent and crystallized via cooling or is precipitated out using an antisolvent. The various crystallization parameters such as temperature, antisolvent addition rate and agitation are adjusted to get the required final crystal size and morphology. The solvent-antisolvent ratio, time of crystallization and yield of the product are the key factors for controlling antisolvent based precipitation process. The advantages of cavitationally induced nucleation can be coupled with the conventional crystallization process. This study includes the effect of the ultrasonically generated acoustic cavitation phenomenon on the solvent antisolvent based precipitation process. CL20, a high-energy explosive compound, is a polyazapolycyclic caged polynitramine. CL-20 has greater energy output than existing (in-use) energetic ingredients while having an acceptable level of insensitivity to shock and other external stimuli. The size control and size distribution manipulation of the high energy material (CL20) has been successfully carried out safely and quickly along with an increase in the final mass yield, compared to the conventional antisolvent based precipitation process.     

Radiative and Nonradiative Transitions of Eu3+ in Binary Solvent Systems

The fluorescence efficiency of the rare-earth ions in solution increases upon deuteration of the solvent^(1–3) and is dependent upon the presence in the solvent molecule of such groups as etc. Lower fluorescence quantum yields observed for Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ in protic solvents were accounted for, at least qualitatively, by electronic excitation energy transfer from the excited rare-earth ion to some of the vibrational modes in the solvent molecule. The fluorescence quantum yield of Dy³⁺ in solution is also lower in the presence of groups.⁽⁷⁾ Furthermore, significant fluorescence enhancement and long fluorescence lifetimes were observed for both Sm³⁺ and Eu³⁺ in such aprotic solvents as POCl₃:SnCl₄, POCl₃:ZrCl₄ and POCl₃:TiCl₄, where both the fluorescence intensities and lifetimes were enhanced by a factor of 1000 and 300, respectively, relative to those in aqueous solutions.^(8,9) The fluorescence efficiency of Sm³⁺ and Eu³⁺ was also found to depend upon the composition of the primary solvation sphere of the ion.^(8,9) The low fluorescence quenching efficiency of these aprotic solvents was further emphasized by the observation of fluorescence emission arising from the ⁵D₃-state of Tb³⁺ in POCl₃:SnCl₄.⁽¹⁰⁾ The significance of the composition of the solvent and its effect upon the pertinent transition probabilities were also demonstrated in solutions of Eu³⁺ in DMSO.^(6,11) Results obtained in spectroscopic studies of Eu³⁺ in binary solvent systems in which only one of the components is the solvating species will be reported here.

Time-resolved nuclear spin-dependent small-angle neutron scattering from polarised proton domains in deuterated solutions

We have investigated the process of dynamic proton polarisation by means of time-resolved polarised small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) on frozen solutions of EHBA-Cr^V molecules in glycerol-water mixtures as a function of the concentration of EHBA-Cr^V and for different degrees of deuteration of the solvent. In the EHBA-Cr^V complex, the spins of the 20 protons which surround the paramagnetic Cr^V can be oriented using the method of dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP), thereby offering the possibility to create locally a nuclear spin-dependent contrast for SANS. The time constants which describe the build-up of polarisation around the paramagnetic centre and the subsequent diffusion of polarisation in the solvent were determined by analysing the temporal evolution of the nuclear polarisation, which in turn was obtained by fitting a core-shell model to the time-dependent SANS curves. The results on the spin dynamics obtained using the scattering function of a core-shell could be independently confirmed by evaluating the integrated SANS intensity. A thermodynamic one-centre model is presented which is able to reproduce the observed dependence of the proton polarisation times on the proton concentration of the solvent.
