Efficient sonochemical degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid using periodate

A rapid and efficient treatment method, using periodate (PI) for sonochemical oxidation of persistent and bioaccumulative perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was developed. With an addition of 45 mM PI, 96.5% of PFOA was decomposed with a defluorination efficiency of 95.7% after 120 min of ultrasound (US). The removals of PFOA were augmented with an increase in PI doses. In all the PI + US experimental runs, decomposition efficiencies were essentially similar to those of defluorination, indicating that PFOA was decomposed and mineralized into fluoride ions. Lower solution pHs resulted in an increase in decomposition and defluorination efficiencies of PFOA due to acid-catalyzation. Dissolved oxygen increased the amount of IO₄ radicals produced, which consumed the more effective IO₃ radicals. Consequently, presence of oxygen inhibited the destruction of PFOA. The PFOA degradation rates with different gases sparging are in the following order: nitrogen > air > oxygen. Effects of anions follow the Hofmeister effects on PFOA degradation (i.e., Br⁻ > none ⩾ Cl⁻ > SO₄²⁻). Br⁻ could react with OH to yield radical anion Br₂⁻ that enhances the PFOA degradation. A reaction pathway was also proposed to describe the PI oxidation of PFOA under US irradiation.

Spectrophotometric determination of 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) in soil and lemon juice

Although the use of once widely applied selective herbicide, 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC), was cancelled by US-EPA in 1987, it is still found in soil and water due to its slow degradation in the environment. Since solid phase extraction-spectrophotometry combinations are much simpler and cheaper than chromatography/MS based methods and most routine laboratories lack such sophisticated instrumentation, it is desirable to establish novel sensitive, well-established, and field-applicable spectrophotometric methods for the rapid assay of DNOC in water and soil. For this purpose, two distinct spectrophotometric methods utilizing the periodate and copper(II)-neocuproine (Nc) reagents have been developed following Zn/HCl reduction of the pesticide in a microwave oven for 15 s, and validated for DNOC determination at mg L⁻¹ level. The LOD values were 1.6 and 0.2 mg L⁻¹ for periodate and Cu(II)-Nc methods, respectively. Statistical comparison of the developed methods was made with the aid of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a C₁₈ (5 μm), 250 mm× 4.6 mm ID reversed phase column in conjunction with a UV (264 nm) detector, and a methanol (HPLC grade) +0.1% glacial acetic acid mixture mobile phase. Both spectrophotometric methods were directly applicable to soil since they were not interfered with common soil cations and anions, together with some pesticides. These methods were applied to real samples such as synthetically contaminated montmorillonite and lemon juice, and overall recovery efficiencies at the order of 95% or greater were achieved in the devised adsorption/elution procedures. An 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine)-impregnated XAD copolymer resin stabilized with Fe(III) salt was used to preconcentrate DNOC at a concentration factor of 20 from lemon juice contaminated with 1 mg L⁻¹ DNOC, and the analyte retained at pH 2.5 was eluted with 0.025 M methanolic NaOH. Both the devised spectrophotometric methods and the proposed preconcentration column with optimized sorption and desorption conditions are novel for DNOC assay in the natural environment.

Application of chemometric methods to the simultaneous kinetic spectrophotometric determination of iodate and periodate based on consecutive reactions

A kinetic spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of iodate and periodate in mixtures was proposed. The method is established on the different kinetic behaviours of the analytes which react with starch–iodide in the presence of sodium chloride in sulfuric acid medium. The kinetic data were collected from 260 to 900 nm every 10 nm, within a time range of 0–180 s at 1 s interval, and the absorbance collected at 291, 354 and 585 nm, respectively, increased linearly with the concentration between 0.1–1.2 mg L^− 1 for both iodate and periodate. The mechanism investigation revealed that the iodate/periodate–iodide–starch system is a consecutive reaction. Subsequently, the mathematical model for the quantitative kinetic determination based on the consecutive reactions by utilizing chemometric methods was deduced, and the simultaneous determination of synthetic mixtures of iodate and periodate was then applied. Kinetic data collected at 291, 354 and 585 nm, were processed by chemometric methods, such as classical least square (CLS), principal component regression (PCR), partial least square (PLS), back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN), radial basis function–artificial neural network (RBF-ANN) and principle component–radial basis function–artificial neural network (PC-RBF-ANN). The results showed that calibration model with the data collected at 354 nm had some advantages for the prediction of the analytes as compared with the ones of other two wavelengths, and the PLS and PC-RBF-ANN gave the lower prediction errors than other chemometric methods. The proposed method was applied to the simultaneous determination of iodate and periodate in several real samples; and the standard addition method yielded satisfactory recoveries in all instances.     

Biomimetic Alkene Epoxidation and Alkane Hydroxylation with Sodium Periodate Catalyzed by Mn(III)-salen Supported on Amberlite IRA-200

Summary. The Mn(III)-salen, containing phosphonium groups at the 5,5′-positions of the salen ligand supported on Amberlite IRA-200 via electrostatic binding was used for the oxidation of alkenes and alkanes with sodium periodate at room temperature in the presence of imidazoles as axial ligands, and the effect of solvent, different axial ligands, and various oxygen donors was investigated. This heterogenized catalyst shows high catalytic activity in alkene epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation. It showed high selectivity in the epoxidation of stilbenes, α-pinene, and (R)-(+)-limonene, and exhibits a particular ability to epoxidize linear alkenes. The stability and reusability of this new heterogenized metallo-salen complex was also investigated. The catalyst was characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis, SEM, and thermal analysis.
