Influence of ultrasonic field on microcystins produced by bloom-forming algae

Under the background of algae removal and growth inhibition by ultrasonic irradiation, the effects of ultrasonic irradiation on removal of Microcystis, the concentration variation of microcystins (MC) produced by Microcystis in Microcystis suspension, and sonochemical degradation of microcystins in water, were studied in the paper. The results showed that ultrasonic irradiation could efficiently inhibit the growth of Microcystis, and ultrasonic irradiation shorter than 5 min would not introduce the increase of microcystins dissolved in Microcystis suspension simultaneity. Also, microcystins dissolved in Microcystis suspension would not increase as ultrasonic power increasing. Further research showed that microcystins were effectively degraded in ultrasonic fields. After 20 min ultrasonic irradiation at 150 kHz and 30 W, the removal rate of microcystins reached 70%.     

聚乙撑二氧噻吩膜在氧化态的充电过程及电容研究

In this paper, the chronoamperometry was used to study the charging processes of polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) modified electrodes in the potential range where PEDOT was in the oxidized state. The results show that the charging behaviors of the PEDOT films are well agreed with the exhausted finite diffusion model. The dependence of the capacitance values of the films on potential and concentration of solution was also studied in this potential range.     

Simultaneous determination of sulfite, sulfate, and hydroxymethanesulfonate in atmospheric waters by ion-pair HPLC technique

A reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC with indirect photometric detection for the simultaneous determination of sulfite, sulfate, hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS), and other inorganic anions in atmospheric water has been developed. Separations were accomplished in less than 10 min in a cetylpyridinium-coated C₁₈ column with 0.5 mM potassium hydrogen phthalate-0.015% triethanolamine-3% methanol at pH 7.9 as mobile phase. Quantitation was carried out by the peak area method, with detection limits in the pmol range. UV light absorption responses were linear over a wide concentration range from several hundred μmoles to the detection limits of each anion. The application of the method provides a rapid and efficient technique for the quantitative determination of sulfur and other inorganic species in atmospheric liquids.

Cooperation of reducing species for NO reduction over Ag/Al2O3 under oxidizing conditions

Summary The cooperation effect of reducing species for selective reduction of NO over Ag/Al₂O₃ has been investigated in the presence of excess oxygen. When the combinations of propene or propane and ethanol or methanol were used as reducing agents, NO reduction took place over a wider temperature range, compared with a single hydrocarbon as reducing agent.

Modification of the halogen end groups of polystyrene prepared by ATRP

The stabilization modification of the halogen end groups of polystyrene prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has been attempted. The reaction mechanism adopted is radical chain transfer reaction, and iso-propylbenzene is employed as not only the chain transfer agent but also the solvent. Moreover, Cu⁰ is used as the acceptor of the transformed halogen atom in some experiments. As evidenced by ¹H NMR analysis of the modified products, the halogen end group can really be converted into the much more stable carbon-hydrogen structure. When Cu⁰ is not used, the conversion of the halogen end groups rises rapidly during the early stage and the increase rate slows down after about 8 h reaction. In view of the influence of reaction temperature on the modification, the conversion increases almost exponentially with temperature in the range of 80-100 °C, and the increase rate slows down at higher temperature. ¹H NMR and SEC analyses prove that the modification reaction does not destroy the polymer backbone and the molecular weights remain almost the same as those of the unmodified samples. When Cu⁰ is introduced, the modification reaction proceeds much rapidly, the conversion of the halogen end groups rises almost linearly at the early stage and the nearly complete (>95%) dehalogenation of the polymeric chains is observed after only 12 h reaction. However, the molecular weights rise and the polydispersities become wider after the modification, which implies that the modification is accompanied with the couple termination of the polystyrene radicals besides chain transfer reaction. Furthermore, the couple termination can be restrained at some lower catalyst concentration. Indeed, the modified polymers show improved thermal stability, the initial weight loss temperatures is increased from 196 °C to 378 °C for the linear polystyrene and from 203 °C to 261 °C for the hyperbranched polystyrene.     

LC Determination of Curcumin in Dog Plasma for a Pharmacokinetic Study

A rapid, simple, and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for quantification of curcumin in dog plasma has been developed and validated. After addition of the internal standard (berberine), plasma was acidified and extracted with ethyl acetate. Analysis was performed on a C₁₈ column. The mobile phase was acetonitrile–5% acetic acid, 52:48 (v/v) and the flow rate 1.0 mL min^?1. The eluent was monitored at 425 nm. Chromatographic separation was achieved in less than 7 min and the calibration plot was linear over the concentration range 2–128 ng mL^?1. Intra- and inter-assay variability were less than 7.3%. The accuracy ranged from 98.7 to 105.0%. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of curcumin in dogs.
