An analytical procedure involving solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) has been developed
for determination of pharmaceutical compounds (aspirin, caffeine, carbamazepine, diclofenac, ketoprofen, naproxen, ibuprofen,
clofibrate, clofibric acid, and gemfibrozil) in a variety of aqueous samples (wastewater and surface water). After filtration,
samples were extracted and concentrated using C18 or HLB cartridges, depending on the type of compound. Sample storage conditions were checked and optimized to ensure preservation
of the pharmaceutical substance, taking into consideration environmental sampling conditions. For most of the pharmaceuticals
monitored, recovery was in the range 53 to 99% and the variability was below 15% for the complete procedure, with limits of
detection ranging from 0.4 to 2.5 ng L−1, depending on the compound. The methods were successfully applied to monitoring of pharmaceutical contamination of the Seine
estuary. Concentrations varied from several dozens of nanograms per liter for surface waters to several hundreds of nanograms
per liter for wastewaters. 相似文献
The effect of hydrothermal treatment on properties (crystallinity, porous structure, reducibility, acidity, basicity, and
catalytic activity and selectivity in toluene and ethanol total oxidation) of Ni—Al layered double hydroxide precursors and
related mixed oxides was examined. The hydrothermal treatment increased considerably both the content of crystalline phase
and LDH crystallite size. On the other hand, only a slight effect of the precursor hydrothermal treatment on crystallinity
of the related Ni—Al mixed oxides obtained by calcination at 450°C was observed. The reducibility of NiO particles appeared
to be hindered considerably compared to the reducibility of pure NiO. Catalytic activity of the Ni—Al mixed oxides prepared
from the precursors hydrothermally treated for a short time (4 h) was the highest. The highest amount of acetaldehyde formed
during the total oxidation of ethanol, i.e. the worst selectivity was found for the calcined Ni—Al LDH without hydrothermal treatment.

The water behavior on (001) and (100) crystal faces of hydroxyapatite (HAP) were studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
The study showed that the water molecules between the HAP faces were under conditions of strong electrical field and high
pressure, and hence formed 2–3 well-organized water layers on the crystal surfaces. These structured water layers had ice-like
features. Compared with the crystallographic [100] direction of HAP, the polarity along the [001] direction was stronger,
which resulted in more structured water layers on the surface. The interaction of water molecules with the calcium and phosphate
sites at the HAP-water interface was also studied. The results indicated the multiple pathways of water adsorption onto the
HAP surfaces. This study revealed the formation and the detailed structure of water layers on HAP surfaces and suggested that
the interfacial water played an important role in stabilizing the HAP particles in aqueous solutions.

Floristic composition, community structure and soil moisture and nutrient contents in abandoned fields of different ages were analyzed to clarify the regenerative aspects of succession as a tool for vegetation restoration. The results indicated that secondary succession in this region can be interpreted as an auto-succession: there are main changes in species-relative abundance and species turnover. Annual or biennial species (e.g. Artemisia scoparia), acted as pioneers and strongly dominated the early stages. Then, they underwent a progressive decline, while forbs (e.g. Artemisia sacrorum) and grasses (e.g. Xanthium sibiricum) had their peak abundance at intermediate stages. Dwarf shrubs (e.g. Lespedeza dahurica) and short rhizome grass (e.g. Bothriochloa ischaemum) appeared at mid-succession stage and gradually increased in abundance during succession, becoming dominant at late stages. The first axis of detrended correspondence canonical analysis arranged the sites according to their fallow time, indicating a successional sere. The second axis, associated with diverging pathways of regeneration, correlated with topographic factors and soil moisture and nutrition. Structural divergence between plots increased as succession went on, attained the highest at the mid-succession stage, decreased at the late stage.
Soil moisture and available phosphorus content decreased steadily with field age after their abandonment, whereas pools of organic matter, total and available nitrogen, potassium and total phosphorus increased with field age. The pace and direction of recovery of native vegetation and natural soil properties in these abandoned fields resembled classic old-field succession, which is a form of secondary succession that often serves as a template for guiding restoration efforts. Interface between the abandoned field soil and plant system was crucial to the above process. Our current study supported the generally accepted hypothesis in the succession literature. 相似文献
A one-dimensional chain coordination polymer [Co(Ⅱ)(C6H5CH=CHCOOH)2(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)5]n has been synthesized with cinnamylic acid, 4,4'-bipy and cobaltous chloride as raw materials. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a - 1.1481(3), b =1.1230(2), c = 1.1759(3) nm, β = 97.054(4)°, V = 1.5046(6) nm3, Mr= 617.50, Dc = 1.363 g/cm3, Z= 2, μ(MoKα) = 0.627 mm-1, F(000) = 646, S = 1.062, R 0.0443 and wR = 0.1178. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring cobalt(Ⅱ) ions are linked together by one 4,4'-bipy, and the whole complex molecule adopts a one-dimensional chain structure. Each cobalt(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from two 4,4'-bipy molecules and four oxygen atoms from four water molecules, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The electrochemical properties were analyzed by combining with the crystal structure. 相似文献
