Removal of Elemental Mercury from Simulated Flue Gas by Combining Non-thermal Plasma with Calcium Oxide

Mercury emission from coal combustion has been the fourth biggest pollutant in China, following the dusts, SO₂ and NO_X. The technology of non-thermal plasma has been widely studied for oxidizing gaseous elemental mercury at low temperature. In this paper, a new method of combining non-thermal plasma with calcium oxide was proposed to remove elemental mercury from simulated flue gas. The effects of non-thermal plasma, input energy, combination mode of plasma and calcium oxide on Hg⁰ removal were investigated in a wire-cylinder non-thermal plasma reactor, whose energy was supplied by a high voltage alternating current power. The peak voltage and energy of the non-thermal plasma were measured by an oscilloscope and a high voltage probe (1000:1). The results showed that most of Hg⁰ was converted to oxidized mercury in simulated flue gas by non-thermal plasma treatment. The Hg⁰ removal efficiency of CaO was improved remarkably strengthened by the non-thermal plasma, which was closely related to input energy, and the maximum mercury removal efficiency was about 80 % at an optimal input energy. Through temperature-programmed decomposition and desorption and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis, the majority of mercury species on CaO surface were Hg₂O and HgO₃ rather than HgO. Therefore, it can be concluded that O₃ plays an important role in Hg⁰ oxidation under the condition of non-thermal plasma.

Solvent-dependent turn-on probe for dual monitoring of Ag and Zn in living biological samples

A novel, solvent-dependent “off–on” probe with benzoylthiourea moiety as the functional receptor and fluorescein as the fluorophore was designed for monitoring of Ag⁺ in EtOH–H₂O (2:8, v/v) solution and Zn²⁺ in CH₃CN–H₂O (2:8, v/v) solution at physiological range with sufficient selectivity and sensitivity. The Ag⁺ promoted desulfurization of thiosemicarbazide functionality in formation of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole and the coordination of Zn²⁺ to the O atom and N atom of the spoirolactam moiety and the S atom of the benzoylthiourea moiety were investigated to be the power that promoted the fluorescent enhancement. This probe was tested highly suitable for mapping Ag⁺ and Zn²⁺ in living human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells and microbial cell–EPS–mineral aggregates, thus, providing a wonderful candidate for tracking Ag⁺ and Zn²⁺ in biological organisms and processes.     

Two rhodamine lactam modulated lysosome-targetable fluorescence probes for sensitively and selectively monitoring subcellular organelle pH change

Be a powerful technique for convenient detection of pH change in living cells, especially at subcellular level, fluorescent probes has attracted more and more attention. In this work, we designed and synthesized three rhodamine lactam modulated fluorescent probes RS1, RS2 and RS3, which all respond sensitively toward weak acidity (pH range 4–6) via the photophysical property in buffer solution without interference from the other metal ions, and they also show ideal pKa values and excellent reversibility. Particularly, by changing the lone pair electrons distribution of lactam-N atom with different conjugations, RS2 and RS3 exhibit high quantum yield, negligible cytotoxicity and excellent permeability. They are suitable to stain selectively lysosomes of tumor cells and monitor its pH changes sensitively via optical molecular imaging. The above findings suggest that the probes we designed could act as ideal and easy method for investigating the pivotal role of H⁺ in lysosomes and are potential pH detectors in disease diagnosis through direct intracellular imaging.     

Spectrophotometric and visual detection of the herbicide atrazine by exploiting hydrogen bond-induced aggregation of melamine-modified gold nanoparticles

We report on a method for the determination of the herbicide atrazine in tap water samples using melamine-modified gold nanoparticles (Mel-AuNPs). If a solution containing atrazine is added to a solution of such NPs, a color change occurs from wine-red to blue. This is due to a transition from monodisperse to aggregated Mel-AuNPs and caused by strong hydrogen bonding between atrazine and melamine. The color change can be monitored by a UV–vis spectrophotometer or with bare eyes. The ratio of the absorbances at 640 and 523 nm is linearly related to the logarithm of the atrazine concentration in the 0.165 to 16.5 μM range, and (with different slope) in the 16.5 μM to 330 μM range. The detection limit of atrazine is as low as 16.5 nM (S/N = 3). The method was successfully applied to the determination of atrazine in spiked tap water and gave recoveries that ranged from 72.5 % to 102.3 %.
