The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of Ethyl methylphosphonate (EMPA) on powdery TiO2 film has experimentally investigated using attenuated total reflection-infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) in ambient condition. Characteristic IR frequency as P-O-C vibration mode as EtO was observed by EMPA adsorbed at the surface of TiO2. By TiO2 photocatalysis, the adsorbed EMPA was decomposed to methyl phosphonic acid and phosphoric acid. The increment of IR intensity of which is assigned to Ti–O-P-O-Ti of EMPA was accompanied with increasing the IR peak intensity assigned to MPA. About that, we suggest that the appearance of the Ti–O-P-O-Ti of EMPA by the TiO2 photocatalysis is regarded as acceleration of the hydrolysis of EMPA by the surface OH groups of TiO2. The plausible adsorption structure and the photocatalytic reaction mechanism of EMPA at the surface of TiO2 photocatalyst were elucidated.
Hydro-membrane gas chromatography (HMGC) is achieved by the annular condensation of water in a capillary column at less than 70 degrees C. The annular membrane of water is formed as a result of the wettability of the stationary phase, which is induced at a water contact angle ranging from 75 degrees to 79 degrees, as derived from a solubility parameter (delta) range of 15.7 +/- 0.3 MPa(1/2) of the coated resin. The range of the liquid to gas volume ratio (beta) required to support the annular membrane should be kept between 0.00005 and 0.0003. In the case of a 0.25-mm i.d. column, the ratio can be set by the combination of a 0.1 to 0.2 microl min(-1) water supply rate and helium gas flow rate. Separation by HMGC develops not only a gas-solid partition but also a focusing effect on the water membrane. One feature of HMGC is that it gives a non-adsorption chromatogram based on the blocking effect of pre-adsorbed water; furthermore, despite the presence of a relatively large quantity of water, the electron impact ionization efficiency is kept the same as in the usual GC/MS condition. The detection limit with the injection of 1 microl of aquatic solution was estimated to be less than 0.1 ppb of low-molecular-weight fatty acids with s/n = 5 on a mass chromatogram at m/z 45. The HMGC/EI-MS system can be applied to the trace analysis of C1 to C3 volatile acids, volatile inorganic acids, and halogenated organic acids in water. 相似文献
An orally applicable pulsatile drug delivery system in dry-coated tablet form was prepared using diltiazem hydrochloride as the model drug, and a polyvinyl chloride-hydrogenated castor oil-polyethyleneglycol mixture as the outer shell of the tablet. In vitro drug release from the prepared tablet exhibited a typical pulsatile pattern with a 7 h lag phase (non-drug release period). This dosage form was orally administered to three beagle dogs under non-fasting and fasting conditions, and the plasma concentration level of diltiazem was determined according to time after administration. The result of the in vivo study in non-fasting dogs suggested that the drug could be released in the gastrointestinal tract as in the in vitro test. However, under the fasting condition, a large difference in the plasma concentration profile was found, suggesting that the disintegration time of the tablet tended to be influenced by the feeding condition of subject. 相似文献
A ternary catalyst system of Cp*RuCl(cod)-2-diphenylphosphinoethylamine-KOt-Bu (Cp*=η5-C5(CH3)5, cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) causes rapid racemization of chiral non-racemic sec-alcohols, which results from the reversible hydrogen transfer between sec-alcohols and ketones. Both tertiary phosphine and primary amine functionalities in the ligand are responsible for the high rate. 相似文献
The protective effects of oleanolic acid-type saponins and their derivatives on in vitro immunological liver injury of primary cultured rat hepatocytes were studied. A known antihepatotoxic saponin (chikusetsusaponin IVa, 1) showed hepatoprotective activity in this model. Although a rhamnosyl derivative (2) of 1 similarly showed hepatoprotective activity, its prosapogenin (5) did not show any hepatoprotective activity. On the contrary, 5 exhibited cytotoxicity toward liver cells. In the absence of antiserum, monodesmosyl saponins showed hepatotoxicity, while the bisdesmosyl saponins except for 1, did not show such hepatotoxicity. In order to clarify the effects of the sugar residues at C-3 and C-28 responsible for hepatoprotective and hepatotoxic actions, oleanolic acid 3-O-glucuronide (2a) and oleanolic acid 28-O-glucoside (2b) were prepared and tested. 2b showed neither hepatoprotective action nor hepatotoxicity. In contrast, 2a was effective at 90 microM on hepatoprotection, although it showed strong hepatotoxicity. Oleanolic acid (2c) itself showed both hepatoprotective action and weak hepatotoxicity. Therefore, the hepatoprotective activity of these types of saponins could represent a balance between hepatoprotective action and hepatotoxicity. 相似文献
The nano-kinetic movement of a single DNA molecule was observed and analyzed by a newly developed video-microscope system with an optical fiber, called a pin-fiber video scope. A single lambda-DNA molecule was put in focus using fiber-illumination, and the stretching and shrinking motion was measured. The molecule's kinetics were analyzed by numerical calculations and are discussed. A photocleavage phenomenon of DNA molecules was also visualized by the pin-fiber video scope. The new video-microscope system has the potential to observe and analyze the nano-kinetics of a single molecule. 相似文献
ZrO2 gel films were prepared from zirconium tetra-n-butoxide chemically modified with one of hydroxyl-substituted aromatic ketones and 1′-hydroxy-2′-acetonaphthone, by the sol-gel method. The obtained gel film showed an absorption band, characteristic of the π-π* transition of chelate ring, at around 410 nm. The band was shifted to longer wavelength region than those for the gel films using β-diketones. The reason is thought that the hydroxyl-substituted aromatic ketone has π-electron system to form the condensed chelate ring. The absorption band associated with the chelate ring gradually decreased in intensity with UV-irradiation using a high pressure mercury lamp. This indicates that the chelate ring dissociates by the UV-irradiation and that the gel film exhibits photosensitivity. Utilizing the photosensitivity, fine patterns (about 1 μm) could be fabricated by UV-irradiation through a mask and leaching. 相似文献
Carbohydrate chains in glycoprotein pharmaceuticals have important roles for the expression of their biological activities. Therefore, development of an assessment method for the carbohydrate chains is an important parameter for quality control of glycoprotein pharmaceuticals such as newly developed therapeutic antibodies. In this report, we applied capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection to the analysis of carbohydrate chains after releasing with glycoamidase followed by derivatization with 3-aminobenzoic acid. We found that four major oligosaccharides present in antibody pharmaceuticals were successfully separated with good resolution. The present method showed good precision in both migration times and relative peak areas, and gave comparable accuracy with that using a derivatization method with 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate. 相似文献
The rates of growth of single ozone cracks have been measured for vulcanizates of two butyl rubbers over the temperature range of 20–160°C. Over most of this range the rates are quantitatively related to the segmental mobility of the polymer and depend upon temperature in accord with the appropriate from of the WLF relation. The rates are also proportional to the concentration of ozone. It is therefore concluded that diffusion of ozone into the polymer before reaction is the rate-controlling step. This is contrasted with the behavior of butadiene–styrene copolymers, for which the rates of crack growth are also quantitatively related to the segmental mobility, but the rates are somewhat larger at equivalent mobilities and the dependence upon ozone concentration is smaller. The difference is attributed to different penetration distances before reaction in polymers containing low and high densities of reactive sites. 相似文献
