Determination of Biodegradation Process of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes in Seabed Sediment by Purge and Trap Gas Chromatography

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) are commonly found in crude oil and are used in geochemical investigations as direct indicators of the presence of oil and gas. BTEX are easily volatile and can be degraded by microorganisms, which affect their precise measurement seriously. A method for determining the biodegradation process of BTEX in seabed sediment using dynamic headspace (purge and trap) gas chromatography with a photoionization detector (PID) was developed, which had a detection limit of 7.3–13.2 ng L^?1 and a recovery rate of 91.6–95.0%. The decrease in the concentration of BTEX components was monitored in seabed sediment samples, which was caused by microorganism biodegradation. The results of BTEX biodegradation process were of great significance in the collection, transportation, preservation, and measurement of seabed sediment samples in the geochemical investigations of oil and gas.

Study of quasi-monodisperse In2O3 nanocrystals: synthesis and optical determination

In this communication, we report a successful synthesis of quasi-monodisperse In2O3 nanocrystals with high crystallinity in a high-temperature organic solution. The average size of nanocrystals can be tuned using a dynamic injection technique. TEM and XRD investigations indicate that each nanocrystal is a single crystal. The optical determination implies that the photoluminescence behavior of these In2O3 nanocrystals is different from that of the bulk, probably due to the combination of weak quantum-confinement-effects and the nature of high crystallinity in nanocrystals.     

Principles of droplet electrohydrodynamics for lab-on-a-chip

Electrically controlled droplet-based labs-on-a-chip operate under the principles of electro-capillarity and dielectrophoresis. The microfluidic mechanics of manipulating electrified droplets are complex and not entirely understood. In this article, we analyse these operating principles, especially electrowetting on dielectric (a form of electro-capillarity) and dielectrophoresis, under a unified framework of droplet electrohydrodynamics. We differentiate them by their electric origins and their energy transduction mechanisms. Our study shows that both electrowetting on dielectric and dielectrophoresis are effective for droplet generation and manipulation. In addition, our study demonstrates: (1) the presence of a wetting contribution to dielectrophoresis; and (2) contact angle reduction is merely an observable consequence of, not a condition for, the occurrence of electrowetting on dielectric. Simulations are used extensively in this article to illustrate device operation, to expose underlying physics, and to validate our conclusions. Simulations of electrically driven droplet generation, droplet translocation, droplet fusion, and droplet fission are presented.

MTT法测定稀土离子对BEL-7402及K562细胞的毒性及增殖毒性

用MTT法测定稀土离子在不同浓度、不同培养液中,与BEL 7402和K562细胞作用不同时间,对细胞的毒性和增殖毒性。结果表明,在含10%小牛血清培养液中,仅个别稀土离子在较高浓度时对BEL 7402细胞增殖有较弱的抑制作用;对于K562细胞,稀土离子在低浓度时对细胞增殖即表现出较强的抑制作用(P<0.05)。当培养液不含小牛血清时,较低浓度的稀土离子即可抑制BEL 7402细胞的增殖(P<0 05)。     

Preparative separation and purification of squalene from the microalga Thraustochytrium ATCC 26185 by high-speed counter-current chromatography

High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully applied to the preparative separation and purification of squalene from microalgae. Crude squalene was obtained from the microalga Thraustochytrium ATCC 26185 by extraction with organic solvents. The crude squalene was further separated using a waterless two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-methanol (2:1, v/v). The upper phase as the mobile phase was pumped into the column at a flow-rate of 2.0 ml min(-1) in the tail-to-head elution mode. The fractions purified and collected were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The method yielded 0.2 mg squalene at 96% purity from 150 mg of the crude squalene (0.14% squalene) with 95% recovery. The separation of squalene by HSCCC was completed in 90 min.

Six polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are studied by chemical deoxygenation microemulsion-stabilized room temperature phosphorimetry with sodium sulfite as an oxygen scavenger and thallous nitrate as a heavy atom perturber in sodium dodecyl sulfate medium. Several factors influencing room temperature phosphorescence such as the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the heavy atom concentration, the pH, and the concentration of sodium sulfite are discussed and the quenching effect of NO₂⁻on room temperature phosphorimetry of PAHs was compared in the microemulsion and micelle media.
