Investigation on Binding between Cations and Amides using UV Raman Spectroscopy

The interaction of proteins with salt ions plays an important role in life activities.We used butyramide as a model molecule to investigate the interaction of protein backbones with cations.The experiment was performed in an aqueous solution of metal chloride using UV Raman spectroscopy.It was found that well-hydrated metal cations(Ca^(2+),Mg^(2+))tend to bind to C=O in the amide bond,resulting in redistribution of the amide I band peaks.Specifically,the peak intensity ratio of 1655 cm^(-1)to 1610 cm^(-1)increases significantly with increasing concentrations.However,this phenomenon is not obviously observed in NaCl solution.Furthermore,we studied the effect of salt ions on the water structures.The addition of Ca^(2+)and Mg^(2+)is beneficial to the enhancement of the water signal at the 3400 cm^(-1)position,while the Na^(+)at the same concentration is not obvious.The results have shown that the interaction between cations and amides satisfies the following order:Ca^(2+)>Mg^(2+)>Na^(+),which conforms to the Hofmeister series.

基于EEMs和UV-Vis法相结合的北方某城市原水三氯甲烷生成预测

以北方城市某水厂采集的原水作为研究对象,利用三维荧光光谱进行测定,通过计算荧光指数(FI)判断原水中溶解性有机物(DOM)的来源,并考察加氯后的三氯甲烷生成情况与水中DOM紫外-可见分光光谱特性之间的联系。结果表明,当水厂的原水中DOM主要为微生物的代谢产物时,加氯后三氯甲烷的生成量可通过测定溶解性有机物在280 nm处吸光度,进行负对数计算得到-lnA280来反映三氯甲烷生成量,由此提供了一种更加操作简单、成本较低的预测三氯甲烷质量浓度的方法。

基于UV-Vis漫反射、Raman与PL光谱联用技术在黄色珍珠无损检测中的应用

应用紫外-可见(UV-Vis)漫反射、拉曼(Raman)与光致发光(PL)光谱就当前市售的大小各异、金色饱和度深浅不一的珍珠其致色属性予以对比分析。结果表明:基于珍珠UV-Vis漫反射光谱特征的差异将金黄色珍珠初分为两种类型:Ⅰ型珍珠其谱图在(360±5) nm处存在吸收带、在(420±10) nm处存在较弱的吸收峰或肩,该类珍珠为当前珍珠销售市场较为常见的自身致色珍珠;除Ⅰ型珍珠外,将其他金黄色系珍珠归属为Ⅱ型,其对应的UV-Vis反射光谱主吸收峰可位于340~430 nm区间,部分Ⅱ型样品在280~600 nm无明显吸收或仅存在较弱的吸收肩。进一步就Ⅱ型珍珠予以Raman光谱检测,在激发强度较低时经处理的Ⅱ型黄色珍珠在150~1 000 cm^(-1)区间可产生较强的荧光峰,且荧光峰的强度明显高于文石约1 086 cm^(-1)处的特征峰。同时,上述经处理的Ⅱ型珍珠对应的PL光谱同样表明在500~600 nm区间的荧光强度显著增大。此外,部分经处理的珍珠其Raman或PL光谱中可见与珍珠组成成分无关的特征峰位。上述珍珠的Raman与PL光谱中出现的异常荧光与外来特征峰可作为珍珠经处理的佐证依据。课题工作为当前金黄色珍珠颜色的形成属性及仿珍珠的鉴定提供理论与技术支撑,同时对于Raman光谱在其他类宝玉石、特别是有机宝石的检测鉴定中具有重要的借鉴意义。

Interaction of Ca^(2+) and soil humic acid characterized by a joint experimental platform of potentiometric titration, UV–visible spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy

Rocky desertification has become a major environmental issue in the karst region of southwestern China.Karst rocky desertification was more severe in regions of limestone soil than in adjacent regions of other soils,despite the relatively higher soil organic matter(SOM)content in limestone soil.The underlying mechanism remains ambiguous.We speculated that the geochemical characteristics of limestone soils in the karst region plays an essential role,especially the high calcium content of limestone soil.To test this hypothesis,we collected limestone soil samples from a limestone soil profile in the southwestern China karst region and extracted humic acid(HA)from these limestone soil samples.We investigated the interaction of Ca^(2+)and three HA samples on a joint experimental platform,which consists of an automatic potentiometric titrator,a UV–visible spectrometer,and a Fluorescence spectrometer.HA solutions were titrated by Ca^(2+)and optical spectra of the HA solutions were monitored during the titration experiments.The results indicated that:(1)the interaction of Ca^(2+)and HA is a combined process of adsorption and complexation.Adsorption dominated the overall distribution behavior of Ca^(2+),which could be fit by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.Complexation was distinguished only when the concentration of Ca2+is low;(2)the changes of UV–visible spectroscopy and excitation–emission matrix fluorescencespectroscopy spectra of HA samples when they were binding with Ca^(2+)implied the apparent molecular size and structure of HA became larger and more complex;(3)the combination of Ca^(2+)and HA plays an important role in the SOM preservation of limestone soils but the stability of the Ca–HA association was relatively weak.The present study draws attention to maintaining the relatively higher Ca^(2+)concentration in limestone soils in ecologic restoration attempts in karst regions.

Characterization on the Exfoliation Degree of Graphite Oxide into Graphene Oxide by UV-visible Spectroscopy

The exfoliation degree of graphite oxide into graphene oxide plays an important role in the massive production method of reduced graphene oxide. It is significant to find a simple and feasible method to analyze the exfoliation degree of graphite oxide. In the present work, graphite oxide was synthesized by a modified Hummers method, and then graphene oxide colloids were obtained by exfoliation of graphite oxide dispersed in de-ionized water. UV-visible spectroscopy was used to characterize the absorption of the graphene oxide colloids, and the concentration of graphene oxide colloids indicated by absorption area of UV-visible spectra was studied. Results show that there is a relatively stable relationship between them, indicating that UV- visible spectroscopy is a potential method for analyzing the exfoliation degree of graphite oxide into graphene oxide.

Application of Two-Dimensional Correlation UV-Vis Spectroscopy in Chinese Liquor Moutai Discrimination

Chinese liquor Moutai is the “National alcoholic drink” in China and plays a very important role of social activities in Chinese people’s life. In pursuit of high profits, some illegal counterfeit Moutai liquors have begun to appear in the market. Therefore, it is an urgent need for new techniques to discriminate the genuine and counterfeit Moutai liquor. In this work, the conventional Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and two-dimensional correlation UV-Vis spectroscopy are applied to obtain the UV-Vis characteristic of Moutai liquor and counterfeit one, respectively. The experimental results reveal that the conventional UV-Vis spectra of the genuine and counterfeit Moutai liquor are similar. However, the two-dimensional correlation UV-Vis spectra of them are different and this method would be applied to differentiate the counterfeit Moutai liquor from the genuine Moutai liquor. Compared with conventional methods, this novel method has the advantages of easy operation, simple instrumentation and direct recognition, which make it a potential tool in the fields of food safety.

Sensitivity Enhancement in Uranium Determination by UV-Visible Spectroscopy Using Ion Imprinted Polymer

There is need to determination of uranium concentration at ppb level in environmental matrices.Due to low sensitivity of FAAS,UV-Visible Spectroscopy is generally used as measurement technique.In this study,ion-imprinted polymers(IIP)were prepared for uranyl ion(imprint ion)by formation of ternary(salicylaldoxime and 4-vinylpyridine)complex in 2-methoxy ethanol(porogen)following copolymerization with methacrylic acid(MAA)as a functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate(EGDMA)as crosslinking monomer using 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator.The synthesized polymers were characterized by FTIR and TGA analysis.ArsenazoⅢin 3M HClO_4 was used as complexing agent in the measurement step.The optimal pH for preconcentration was found to be between 3.5~6.5values.The developed method was applied to uranium(Ⅵ)determination in natural water samples.

Raman and UV-Vis Spectroscopy Applied to the Analysis of Liver Tissues from Rats with Myocardial Ischemia Induced by Isoproterenol

The application of the laser Raman spectroscopic（LRS） technique for the analysis of liver tissues from rats with myocardial ischemia induced by isoproterenol（ISO） was described.Animal model of myocardial ischemia was established for rats induced by ISO.Rats were randomly divided into four groups as normal group and myocardial ischemia groups.We observed the successful myocardial ischemia model via serum enzymes levels and hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining,and detected the liver tissue of the rats from normal group and liver tissue of the rats from myocardial ischemia groups via UV-Vis spectroscopy（UV-Vis） and LRS,and the changes of the absorbance spectra were compared in the above four different groups.The results show that ISO can induce rat myocardial ischemia successfully.The spectrum of normal liver tissue supernatant exhibits a strong absorption band at 968 nm,but no absorption band appears in the spectra of liver tissue supernatant solutions from the rats with myocardial ischemia induction after 2,12 and 72 h presented at 968 nm.LRS results show that Raman intensities of the precipitates suffered from ISO-treatment after 2,12 and 72 h were obviously increased compared with that of the precipitate of the liver tissue of the normal rats suffered from 0.9 g/L normal saline（NS） treatment.These results indicate that LRS and UV-Vis can be harmless,nondestructive,rapid and effective methods for analyzing different pathological specimens of liver tissue from myocardial ischemia rats.

UV-Vis Spectroscopy Study on Interaction between Microperoxidase-11 and Pr Ion Under Acid Rain Stress

Interaction between rare earth ion praseodymium (Pr(Ⅲ)) and MP11 with/without hydrogen ion (H +) in different media( aqueous, phosphate buffer, physiological condition) were studied by UV Vis spectroscopy. All the results indicate that Pr(Ⅲ) interacts with MP11, increasing the non planarity of porphyrin periphery, leading MP11 to form two conformations when titrated by Pr(Ⅲ). Excessive Pr(Ⅲ) acts as a contaminant in living organism. H + and Pr(Ⅲ) have antagonistic effect on MP11, suggesting that at suitable concentration under physiological conditions, Pr(Ⅲ) can be used as biomodulator in protecting plants from acid rain stress or in rehabilitating the harm.

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Hypophosphite on Nickel Electrode ──In Situ UV-Vis Spectroscopic study

The electrocatalytic oxidation of hypophosphite on a nickel electrode has been studiedby means of in site UV-Vis subtractive reflectance spectroscopy. An absorbency band around 245um . which was ascribed to the formation of an intermediate, PHO2-, was observed in theelectrocatalytic oxidation process. Accordingly, the electrocatalytic oxidation of hypophosphitemight undergo a H abstraction of hypophosphite from the P-H bond to form the phosphoruscentred radical PHO2-, which is subsequently electrooxidized to the final product, phosphite.

Quality Control of Tramadol in Kisangani: Development, Validation, and Application of a UV-Vis Spectroscopic Method

Context: Substandard and falsified medicines are circulating in low-income countries mostly without any control. We availed a simple and not expensive UV-Vis spectroscopic method to evaluate the quality of tramadol in Kisangani before and during the Covid-19 period. Methods: For the analytical quantitative method, an experimental design was applied to set up the optimal levels of the selected factors, namely, pH of dissolution medium, type of cuvette, and wavelength. Taking into account the capsule pharmaceutical formulation within 80 - 120 μg·mL-1 concentration range, we analyzed 89 tramadol samples from pharmacies and hospitals of the six Kisangani municipalities. Results: pH showed a significant effect on absorbance, whereas quartz cuvette and wavelength did not. A typical 100 μg·mL-1 tramadol solution gave an absorbance of 0.64 at 272 nm. Validation highlighted a matrix effect observed with a 6% bias. A correction factor of 0.9372 allowed to improve the accuracy profile, which were then totally included within the 10% acceptance limits. Quality control revealed that 25 samples out of 89 were not compliant in terms of manufacturing license, registration status in DRC and content as well. Conclusion: This study showed that the strengthening of analytical strategy in Kisangani is a need.

Analytical Study of Two Differently Ranked Coals Using UV-VIS-NIR Spectroscopy

The characterization of Indian bituminous and subbituminous coal was performed by UVVisible– NIR spectroscopy. Chemical leaching with varying concentration of hydrofluoric acid was conducted on both the samples. Electronic absorption at this region was higher for higher ranked coals. Chemical leaching increased electronic transitions in subbituminous coal with maximum transitions for HF (10%) leached samples. The absorption maximum of benzeneoxygen system was found between 235-270 nm and was showing a red shift with leaching. The characteristic naphthalene ring systems (220 & 280 nm) were masked by the absorption regions of monoaromatic rings;indicating the content of napthalenoid hydrocarbon was very low. The bands observed in the visible region (450nm) were attributed to SO2 in the sample and was showing a red shift. The weak band at the 680 nm was attributed to the Ⅱ-Ⅱ* electronic transitions of the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons which also showed red shift with leaching. It was found that the ash content is reduced by 87.5% & 76.2% in bituminous and subbituminous coal respectively with HF (30%) leaching.

Determination of the Biodiesel Content in Petrodiesel/Biodiesel Blends: A Method Based on Uv-Visible Spectroscopy and Chemometrics Tools

In this work, we developed an analytical method based on UV-visible spectroscopy to determine the concentration of biodiesel from African palm in blends of petrodiesel. Seventy-five samples with biodiesel concentrations between 0-100 wt% were prepared. The spectral fingerprints that were obtained from the analysis of the samples by UV-visible spectroscopy were used to build predictive model using PLS regression. The predictive ability of the models was evaluated through statistical parameters: the standard error of calibration (SEC), the standard error of validation (SEV), the correlation coefficient of calibration (r Cal) and validation (r Val), the ratio (SEC/SEV), the coefficient of determination R2, the paired data Student’s t-test, cross-validation and external validation. The results indicate that the PLS model predicts the concentration of biodiesel from African palm with high precision in mixtures with petrodiesel. The method developed in this study can be applied to determine the concentration of biodiesel African palm in mixtures of petrodiesel in a more rapid and economical way. Moreover, this method has less analytical errors and is more environmentally friendly than the conventional methods.

Effect of Temperature on Optical Properties of Vegetable Oils Using UV-Vis and Laser Fluorescence Spectroscopy

UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy are used to test the quality and changes in the composition of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and canola oil (CO) with temperature. The increase of temperature caused a change in the molecular structures of both types of oils seen as a gradual decrease of intensity amplitudes of absorption and fluorescence signals. A significant alteration occurred at ≈200&#176C where almost the main spectra of pheophytin-a, b, carotenoids, lutein and vitamin E in EVOO and linoleic acid and oleic acid in CO disappeared. An independent experiment showed the output of laser changes linearly with the input in oil at constant temperature (i.e., room temperature) where the transmission values of ≈33% and ≈75% are determined for EVOO and CO respectively. However, the transmission through a heated oil exhibited a non-linear behaviour which indicates the molecular optical response to thermal changes. The effect of storage time and adulteration of oils were also evaluated.
