On-site preconcentration and trace metal ions determination in the Okavango Delta water system, Botswana

Microcolumns containing 8-hydroxyquinoline azo-immobilized on controlled pore glass were incorporated in a field sampler for on-site collection, isolation and preconcentration of trace metal ions in waters of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Sequestered trace metal ions were recovered by elution with 0.5 ml of 1.5 M nitric acid, and determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). This sampling and enrichment method minimizes sample contamination, and collection of large volumes of water samples for transporting, over long distances, to analytical laboratories is avoided.Data reported comprise one of the initial surveys on trace metal ion concentrations in waters of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. In waters with more efficient mixing, dissolved metal ion concentrations found were generally low with slightly elevated levels of manganese (7-19 μg l⁻¹), zinc (2.7-4.8 μg l⁻¹), nickel (0.2-2.5 μg l⁻¹) and copper (0.3-2.1 μg l⁻¹). For each trace metal ion, concentration levels seem to reflect zones of varying water conveyance, and show no obvious temporal and spatial variations apart from a slight increment from the inlet in the upper Delta to the outlets in the lower Delta.     

A thermodynamic and structural study of the interactions of pyridino- and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 ligands with some primary organic ammonium cations

Equilibrium constant (K), enthalpy change (H), and entropy change (S) values have been determined calorimetrically at 25°C in 90%MeOH 10%H₂O (v/v) for the interactions of pyridino-18-crown-6 (P18C6) and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 (K₂P18C6) with perchlorate salts of ammonium, benzylammonium,-phenylethylammonium,-phenylethylammonium, and-(1-naphthyl)ethyl-ammonium cations. The crystal structure of the complex of P18C6 with benzylammonium perchlorate was determined by X-ray crystallography. The¹H 1D and 2D NMR spectra of some of these complexes were used to elucidate their structural features in solution. The logK values for the interaction of the ammonium cations with P18C6 are larger than those with K₂P18C6, probably due to the higher degree of structural flexibility of P18C6. Ligand K₂P18C6 displays appreciable - interaction with the-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium cation, but not with the-phenylethylammonium cation.- interaction between ligand and cationSupplementary Data relating to this article are deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No SUP 00000 (22 pages)     

Transformed steroids

A preparative method for 9a-hydroxylation of ⁵-3-hydroxysteroids using the fungi ofCircinella sp. 10Kh-1220 not capable of modifying theA ring has been developed. It is established that the yields of the main and the side products greatly depend on the transformation conditions, mycelium age, and the structure of the steroid substrate. Under the optimal transformation conditions novel 9-hydroxysubstituted derivatives of androstenolone, pregnenolone, 16-dehydro-16,17-epoxy-, and-16-methoxypregnenolone have been obtained in 36–80 % yields.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Transformed steroids

The approaches to the synthesis of various 16,17-disubstituted pregna-4,9-dien-3,20-diones from the corresponding 9-derivatives with labile epoxide, dioxolane, and oxathiolane ringsD have been studied. The transformation has been found to proceed efficiently when the 9-sulfinic esters are used at the intermediate stage and then elimination of sulfinic acid by TsOH/SiO₂ is carried out.For part 193, see ref. 7.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

文化创意企业视角的长三角城市网络演变特征

运用社会网络与位序-规模法分析长江三角洲地区16市上市类文化创意企业的母-子公司数据信息, 揭示文化创意企业集聚视角长三角城市网络结构及其演变特征. 研究发现: (1) 2005~2015年, 长三角地区文化创意企业上市公司总部数量逐年增加, 公司总部多设立于上海、杭州、苏州以及南京4地; (2)传媒类和软件及计算机类企业多分布于传统区域, 设计咨询类企业生产网络中, 存在传统非核心城市跃升为区域核心城市的现象; (3)上市公司生产网络结构逐渐复杂, 多中心及新核心相继出现, 且生产网络中城市位序有变动趋势, 文化创意产业空间动态正形塑城市体系结构. 为此, 建议长三角文化创意企业发展中应加强企业母子间的联系强度, 促进城市创意流动网络化, 有望推进长三角创意源-流形塑创意城市群新体系.     

长江三角洲地区污水厂污泥中全氟有机酸污染特征

对长江三角洲地区污泥的分析结果表明：脱水剩余污泥中总全氟有机酸（PFAs）的浓度范围为122-1098ng／g,其中三氟乙酸（TFA）和五氟丙酸（PFPrA,除S13未检出外）一般是污染水平最高的两种PFAs,分别为107-562ng／g和4．41-395ng／g,占总PFAs的12％-93％和0．7％-61％,这充分说明在以后的监测中需要将超短链PFAs纳入检测范围．尽管全氟辛酸（PFOA）和全氟辛磺酸（PFOS）的浓度一般低于超短链的TFA和PFPrA,甚至在某些情况下还会低于部分中长链PFCAs,但在绝大多数情况下它们依然是两种主要的PPAs类污染物,浓度分别为2．78-66．9ng／g和1．27-80．4ng／g,占总PFAs的0．7％-8．8％和1％-20％．一般而言,全氟羧酸（PFCAs）的检出率较高,可达92．3％-100％,但是对全氟烷基磺酸（PFSAs）而言,除PFOS的检出率为100％外,全氟丁磺酸（eFBS）和全氟己磺酸（PFHxS）的检出率较低,仅分别为15．4％和7．8％．此外,不同的污水处理工艺可能会严重影响污水处理过程中PFAs污染水平和归趋,造成这种现象的原因可能是不同工艺条件下污泥的吸附性能不同,也可能是不同处理工艺对其前体物的降解转换率不同．
