Determination of triclosan in foodstuffs

A reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method coupled with an ultraviolet detector was developed to determine triclosan which had migrated into foodstuffs from packaging materials. The method includes extraction with hexane, followed by evaporation to dryness and residue re-dissolution in ACN 90%. Chromatographic separation was performed with a Kromasil 100 C18 column (15 cm x 0.4 cm ID, 5 microm particle size) at 30 degrees C and using ACN and water as mobile phases. Regarding recoveries, good results (higher than 83% and lower than 112%) were obtained for the three representative food matrixes selected (orange juice, chicken breast meat, and Gouda cheese).     

Free-Radical Gossypol Derivatives for Cotton Verticillium Wilt

The ability to bind reversibly molecular oxygen was established for a free-radical product of gossypol oxidation. Conversion of dianhydrogossypol into the stable biradical dioxodianhydrogossypol was viewed as the reason for interruption of the gossypol redox conversion cycle in the extracellular milieu of cotton steles.     

端视ICP－AES系统分析性能研究──Ⅰ．在稀土分析中的应用

本工作通过比较端视与侧视ＩＣＰ的分析性能，研究了端视ＩＣＰ系统对稀土元素的分析特性。高频发生器输出功率与载气流量对端视与侧视ＩＣＰ激发特性的影响没有明显差异，取光方式的不同是二者分析性能差异的根本原因。端视ＩＣＰ由于取光时避开了产生连续背景的环形热区和截取了整个中心通道的光谱，其背景减小，谱线强度增强，获得较好的测定下限。对１４种稀土元素测定下限的比较表明：端视ＩＣＰ比铡视ＩＣＰ下降１０－３０倍。     

氯氮平、去甲氯氮平及奥氮平的高效液相色谱电化学检测特性的研究

 采用高效液相色谱安培电化学检测法 ,考察了氯氮平、去甲氯氮平和奥氮平在不同 pH值流动相下的色谱分离情况及其色谱峰高与检测电压的关系。结果表明 ,氯氮平、去甲氯氮平和奥氮平的保留时间均随流动相 pH值的升高而延长 ;在pH值为 4 5 6和 5 5 6的流动相中 ,均可实现基线分离。 3种化合物的色谱峰高与检测电压之间呈典型的“S”型曲线 ,pH值升高时该曲线均左移。氯氮平、去甲氯氮平和奥氮平的检测电压必须大于产生最大氧化电流的最低电压才能得到稳定的检测电流。这种典型的“S”型伏安曲线对于化合物的定量和定性检测具有重要意义。     

Insoluble eggshell matrix proteins--their peptide mapping and partial characterization by capillary electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography

Avian eggshell matrix proteins were studied by two analytical approaches. Peptide mapping was done by trypsin and pepsin followed by collagenase cleavage; analyses were carried out by capillary electrophoresis and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Comparison of peptide maps obtained by both methods revealed a complex mixture of peptides in the insoluble layers of the eggshell; it was concluded that there are at least three different insoluble protein/peptide layers in the avian eggshell (cuticle, palisade, and mammillary layer). Partial characterization of peptides in each layer was made by HPLC-mass spectrometry analysis. There is an evidence that the eggshell insoluble proteins contain species susceptible to collagenase cleavage, however, the sequences split by this enzyme probably are not those typical for the main triple-helical core of collagenous proteins. It is proposed that the action of collagenase upon eggshell proteins is caused by the side effect of collagenase described previously with synthetic peptides. Some of the proteins present are probably glycosylated. Fatty acid content in the insoluble eggshell layers (after decalcification) was in the range of 2-4% (which reflected both lipid and lipoproteins bound fatty acids). Porphyrin pigments are dominant in the cuticle layer.

CO₂和烃类光催化直接合成烃类氧化物在合成化学、碳资源利用和环境保护等方面均有重大意义。用溶胶-凝胶和浸渍-还原相结合的方法制得M/V₂O₅-TiO₂(M=Pd、Cu、Ni和Ag)光催化剂。利用XRD、TPR、IR、TPD、UV-Vis DRS和光反应器等技术研究了负载金属复合半导体的物相结构、吸附性能、光吸收性能和光催化反应性能。结果表明：金属负载在复合半导体上延迟了TiO₂由锐钛矿向金红石相的转化,增强了V与载体TiO₂的相互作用,使TiO₂光吸收限发生蓝移,对可见光部分的吸收明显增加,拓宽了催化剂的光响应范围;材料吸光性能强弱顺序Pd/V₂O₅-TiO₂ >Cu/V₂O₅-TiO₂ >Ag/V₂O₅-TiO₂>Ni/V₂O₅-TiO₂;材料的吸附性能及反应物的吸附态是反应发生的关键,CO₂在Ag/V₂O₅-TiO₂表面无法形成卧式吸附态,没有目的产物甲基丙烯酸(MAA)生成,光量子效率低;光吸收性能较好的Pd/V₂O₅-TiO₂对CO₂吸附能力过强,卧式吸附态脱附温度高,光催化效率不高;Cu/V₂O₅-TiO₂对CO₂吸附能力适中,CO₂与C₃H₆脱附温度较接近,实现了“光-表面-热”的协同作用,光量子效率最高,达15.1%。     

Synthesis and properties of new soluble aromatic polyamides and polyimides on the basis of N,N′‐bis(3‐aminobenzoyl)‐N,N′‐diphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine

A new N‐phenylated amide (N‐phenylamide) unit containing aromatic diamine, N,N′‐bis(3‐aminobenzoyl)‐N,N′‐diphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine, was prepared by the condensation of N,N′‐diphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine with 3‐nitrobenzoyl chloride, followed by catalytic reduction. Two series of organosoluble aromatic poly(N‐phenylamide‐imide)s and poly(N‐phenylamide‐amide)s with inherent viscosities of 0.58–0.82 and 0.56–1.21 dL/g were prepared by a conventional two‐stage method and the direct phosphorylation polycondensation, respectively, from the diamine with various aromatic dianhydrides and aromatic dicarboxylic acids. All polyimides and polyamides are amorphous and readily soluble in many organic solvents such as N,N‐dimethylacetamide and N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone. These polymers could be solution cast into transparent, tough, and flexible films with high tensile strengths. These polyimides and polyamides had glass‐transition temperatures in the ranges of 230–258 and 196–229 °C, respectively. Decomposition temperatures of the polyimides for 10% weight loss all occurred above 500 °C in both nitrogen and air atmospheres. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determination of inorganic arsenic species As(III) and As(V) by high performance liquid chromatography with hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry detection

The paper presents the principles and advantages of a technique combining high performance liquid chromatography and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HPLC-HGAAS) applied to speciation analysis of inorganic species of arsenic As(III) and As(V) in ground water samples. With separation of the arsenic species on an ion-exchange column in the chromatographic system and their detection by the hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry, the separation of the analytical signals of the arsenic species was excellent at the limits of determination of 1.5 ng/ml As(III) and 2.2 ng/ml As(V) and RSD of 4.3% and 7.8% for the concentration of 25 ng/ml. The hyphenated technique has been applied for determination of arsenic in polluted ground water in the course of the study on migration of micropollutants. For total arsenic concentration two independent methods: HGICP-OES and HGAAS were used for comparison of results of real samples analysis.     

Improvement of the performance of facilitated transport membrane process through nonuniformity

Facilitated transport process has attracted much attention because high selectivity and high permeability may be achieved. However, most research on facilitated transport process is concerned only with uniform membranes. In this paper, a model predicting the gas separation performance of a hollow-fiber module with facilitated transport membrane is developed. The influence of feed rate, operation pressure, and permeant-feed flow pattern on the module performance are analyzed and the effect of the nonuniform distribution of reaction equilibrium constant is examined. The calculated results show that the nonuniform active distribution may cause an improved module performance. Because of the passive transport characteristics of the facilitated transport process, the mass transfer driving force across the membrane has a great influence on the improvement of the module performance through a facilitated transport effect.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF SULFONATED POLY（ARYLENE ETHER） CONTAINING TRIPHENYL METHANE MOIETIES FROM ISOCYNATE MASKED BISPHENOL

A novel sulfonated poly（arylene ether） containing triphenylmethane moieties was synthesized by the sulfonation of a designed parent polymer using chlorosulfonic acid as sulfonation agent. The sulfonation took place at the para position of the pendant phenyl rings because of the specially designed parent polymer. The position and degree of sulfonation were characterized by ^1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The sulfonated polymers are highly soluble in common organic solvents, such as dimethylsulfoxide, N,N＇-dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and can be readily cast into tough and smooth films from solutions. The films showed good thermal and hydrolysis stabilities. Moreover, Fenton＇s reagent test revealed that the films exhibited superior stability to oxidation. The proton conductivities of the films were comparable with Nation 117 under same conditions. The membrane electrode assembly （MEA） prepared with the asmade film （706 EW, 100 μm dry thickness） shows better cell performance than Nation 115-MEA in the whole current density range.
