FCR assay is commonly used although its flows, such as overestimating polyphenol content due to interference by oxidizable species, were previously reported. The wide range of oxidizable species present in biological systems seriously compromises this assay’s reliability. Adding small amounts of protein to olive-mill wastewater (OMWW) significantly increased the apparent polyphenol content indicated by the FCR assay. The commonly used “reference” polyphenol as a standard for “total polyphenols” quantification is problematic since each polyphenol responds differently to the FCR. Conversely, HPLC may underestimate polyphenol content. No single HPLC protocol is likely to detect the whole myriad of polyphenols which may be present in a polyphenol-containing system. In analyzing 5 OMWW samples both by FCR assay and HPLC, the polyphenol content indicated by the FCR assay was up to six-fold higher than that determined by HPLC.展开更多

The effects of operating conditions such as pH of the solution, Fe2＋ dosage, H2O2 dosage, reaction time and initial PVA concentration on the removal efficiency of CODCr were discussed. It is demonstrated that the optimum value of pH for removal of CODcr is 5 and the most suitable dosages of H2O2 （2%） and FeSO4 （10 mg/L） are 5% and 8.0%, respectively. When the initial CODcr value of the PVA water is 760 mg/L, the favorable reaction time is 110 min. Under these optimum conditions, the removal ratio of CODcr is 58.6% 61.4%, and the value of biodegradability （CODB/CODcr） increases markedly from 8.9% 9.7% to 62.6% 68.3%.展开更多

In this study, the degradation of silicone rubbers, often selected as seals in PEMFCs, in Fenton＇s reagents with different H_2O_2 concentrations was investigated. The changes in chemical properties, mechanical behavior and surface morphology of the samples were studied before and after exposure to the test environment over time. It is found that increasing H_2O_2 concentration will degrade the rubbers more severely. The experimental results elucidate the degradation mechanism of silicone rubbers in Fenton＇s reagents and the influence of H_2O_2 in the degradation process.展开更多

The mixed disulphides formed (RSSE) were fractionated, characterized and quantified by liquid chromatography on a C-18 column using UV detection. This revealed the presence, in femtomoles per cell, of glutathione (8.30 ± 0.73), cysteine (2.71 ± 0.04) and cysteinylglycine (0.83 ± 0.10), accounting for the bulk of the thiol present. Further analysis of the cell extracts using a novel and sensitive mass spectrometry technique allowed the detection of low level of an additional derivative which was identified as cysteinylglycerate using NMRspectroscopy.展开更多

Within the framework of Green Chemistry, the use of solid supported reagents has many advantages such as 1) they are easy to remove from reactions by filtration 2) excess reagents can be used to drive the reaction without introducing any difficulties in purification 3) such solid-supported reagents react differently, mostly more selectively, than their unbound counterparts and 4) toxic, noxious and explosive chemicals are handled more safely when contained on solid support.展开更多
