A novel method, called absorbance upper optimization partial least squares (AUO-PLS), was proposed and successfully applied to the wavelength selection. Based on varied partitioning of the calibration and prediction sample sets, the parameter optimization was performed to achieve stability. On the basis of the AUO-PLS method, the selected upper bound of appropriate absorbance was 1.53 and the corresponding wavebands combination was 400 - 1880 & 2088 - 2346 nm. With the use of random validation samples excluded from the modeling process, the root-mean-square error and correlation coefficient of prediction for polysaccharide were 27.09 mg·L<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> and 0.888, respectively. The results indicate that the NIR prediction values are close to those of the measured values. NIR spectroscopy combined with AUO-PLS method provided a promising tool for quantification of the polysaccharide for PCM oral solution and this technique is rapid and simple when compared with conventional methods.展开更多

In this study, several spectroscopic methods were used to monitor the transformation of organic pollutants during an integrated chemical oxidation and biological process. The results showed that the hydrophobic acid fraction increased after Fenton oxidation, which was likely due to the production of small-molecule organic acids. Soluble microbial products were generated during biological treatment processes,which were degraded after ozonation; meanwhile, the hydrophilic base and acid components increased. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic analysis indicated that peaks at the absorption wavelengths of 280 and 254 nm, which are associated with aromatic substances, were detected in the raw water. The aromatic substances were gradually removed, becoming undetectable after biological aeration filter(BAF) treatment. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that the functional groups of phenols;benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene(BTEX); aromatic hydrocarbons; aliphatic acids;aldehydes; and esters were present in raw wastewater. The organic substances were oxidized into small molecules after Fenton treatment. Aromatic hydrocarbons were effectively removed through bioadsorption and biodegradation after BAF process.Biodegradable organic matter was reduced and finally became undetectable after anoxic–oxic treatment in combination with a membrane bioreactor. Four fluorescent components were fractionated and obtained via excitation–emission matrix parallel factor analysis(EEM-PARAFAC). Dissolved organic matter fractionation in conjunction with EEM-PARAFAC was able to monitor more precisely the evolution of characteristic organic contaminants.展开更多

文摘Tetrahydrocurcumin(THC)is one of the major metabolites of curcumin(CUR),an ancient bioactive natural polyphenolic compound.This research article describes both the solid and liquid state characterization of THC using advanced spectroscopic and thermo-analytical techniques.Anti-inflammatory,anti-oxidant,and neuroprotective activities of THC were investigated using in vitro cell lines.Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis revealed that our sample comprised 95.15%THC,0.51%tetrahydrodemethoxycurcumin(THDC),3.40%hexahydrocurcumin,and 0.94%octahydrocurcumin.Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis indicated the presence of 96.68%THC and 3.32%THDC.THC in solution existed as keto-enol tautomers in three different forms at different retention time,but the enol form was found to be dominant,which was also supported by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.THC was thermally stable up to 335.55C.THC exhibited more suppression of cytokines(TNF-a,IL-1b,and MIP-1a)than CUR in a concentration-dependent manner in mouse splenocytes,while NK-cell and phagocytosis activity was increased in macrophages.THC showed a significant reduction of free radicals(LPO)along with improved antioxidant enzymes(SOD and catalase)and increased free radical scavenging activity against ABTSt radicals in HepG2 cells.THC displayed higher protection capability than CUR from oxidative stress and neuronal damage by improving cell viability against H2O2 induced HepG2 cells and MPPt induced SH-SY5Y cells,respectively,in a concentration-dependent manner.Thus,a variation of the biological activities of THC might rely on its keto-enol form and the presence of other THC analogs as impurities.The present study could be advantageous for further research on THC for better understanding its physicochemical properties and biological variation.

文摘A large amount of wastewater containing various toxic organic contaminants is produced during coal-to-liquids process. In this study, several spectroscopic methods were used to monitor the transformation of organic pollutants during an integrated chemical oxidation and biological process. The results showed that the hydrophobic acid fraction increased after Fenton oxidation, which was likely due to the production of small-molecule organic acids. Soluble microbial products were generated during biological treatment processes,which were degraded after ozonation; meanwhile, the hydrophilic base and acid components increased. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic analysis indicated that peaks at the absorption wavelengths of 280 and 254 nm, which are associated with aromatic substances, were detected in the raw water. The aromatic substances were gradually removed, becoming undetectable after biological aeration filter(BAF) treatment. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that the functional groups of phenols;benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene(BTEX); aromatic hydrocarbons; aliphatic acids;aldehydes; and esters were present in raw wastewater. The organic substances were oxidized into small molecules after Fenton treatment. Aromatic hydrocarbons were effectively removed through bioadsorption and biodegradation after BAF process.Biodegradable organic matter was reduced and finally became undetectable after anoxic–oxic treatment in combination with a membrane bioreactor. Four fluorescent components were fractionated and obtained via excitation–emission matrix parallel factor analysis(EEM-PARAFAC). Dissolved organic matter fractionation in conjunction with EEM-PARAFAC was able to monitor more precisely the evolution of characteristic organic contaminants.

文摘Fluid inclusions represent the direct evidence of paleofluids and can provide valuable information on the evolution of sedimentary basins and oil-bearing strata.Hydrocarbon fluid inclusion(s)(HCFIs)are the vestiges of oil from the geological formations.The paper delineates the paleotemperature(T_(h))/oil window,the oil quality of HCFIs and Raman peaks corresponding to hydrocarbon species of HCFIs using fluid inclusion techniques,and source rock potential of hydrocarbon generation,thermal maturity,the quantity of organic matter,and the kerogen types obtained through Rock-Eval pyrolysis data from two dry wells RV-1 well of Mumbai offshore and KKD-1A well of Kerala-Konkan Basin.The present study compares the fluid inclusion parameters as well as the source rock geochemical characteristics of these two dry wells to address the scientific problem of the wells going dry.Further,evaluated whether the results agree with an earlier finding from a case study of two wells named KK4C-Al(Kerala-Konkan basin)and RV-1 well where only a few parameters such as temperature of homogenization(T_(h))&API gravity were utilised,and the chances of getting oil in the nearby areas of these two wells were reported.In the present study,the fluid inclusion parameters such as the palaeotemperature(T_(h)),API Gravity and Raman spectra were obtained from micron sized fluid inclusions at different depths for a quick assessment of nature of oil inclusions within the two dry wells.Along with fluid inclusion parameters,different source rock parameters obtained from Rock-Eval Pyrolysis analysis(secondary data)such as S1,S2,S3,(T_(max)),Hydrogen Index(HI),Oxygen Index(OI),Potential Yield(PY),Production Index(PI)and Total Organic Carbon Content(TOC)were also considered for a detailed source-rock evaluation of two wells(RV-1 and KKD-1A)and the results act as the supporting evidence to address the reason for the wells gone dry.Temperature of homogenisation(T_(h))of hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusion Assemblages(FIAs)from both the wells fall in the oil window(60-150℃)range indicating that there was a conducive thermal condition favourable for oil generation in these two basins.API gravity of oils in RV-1 well of Mumbai offshore(48-53)was lighter when compared to those in KKD-1A(18-22)of Kerala-Konkan basin.Raman spectra of HCFI samples could decipher important hydrocarbon species from RV-1 well samples.Raman spectra of KKD-1A well show less prominent peaks(broad)only.Pyrolysis data shows that Paleocene-Early Eocene source rocks of Panna formation of RV1 well are mature enough to generate hydrocarbons.On the other hand,Paleocene aged source rocks of Kasargod formation of KKD-1A well are immature.Source rock maturity therefore could be considered as crucial in hydrocarbon generation in these two wells even if oil-window was achieved.This study reports that,in RV-1 well,even though it is a dry well in a proven basin,the oil window,API gravity of oils and constituents from HCFIs of RV-1 well and the source-rock maturity opens up a demand for detailed exploration in nearby areas of RV-1 in the Mumbai offshore basin hopeful of finding a high-value prospect for oil,whereas the fluid inclusion studies in the HCFIs of KKD-1A well of Kerala-Konkan basin is showing only a minimal chance of oil generation that too of a heavy nature and the source rock immature characteristics suggesting only minimal generation of hydrocarbons.Due to the heaviness of the available oil in the KKD-1A well impedes migration.Our study suggests that there is no potential for finding oil in the nearby areas of KKD-1A well of Kerala-Konkan basin.

文摘A novel Co^Ⅱ-Fenton-like heterogeneous catalyst,(H3O)2[Co^Ⅱ(phen)(H2O)2]2[Mo^Ⅵ5O15(PO4)2]·4H2O (phen=1,10-phenanthroline,C12N2H8)(1),is synthesized and utilized for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and antibiotic in a wide range of pH.The experimental results show that 1 acting as the Fenton-like catalyst with H2O2 exhibits remarkable activity at pH 3–9 under vis-light irradiation and is merited with excellent recyclability and reusability.A variety of analytical methods,including in-situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations,are applied to study the mechanism on generation of·OH and O2^·-radicals for photocatalytic degradation.It suggests that,unlike the classical Fenton process involving the redox transformation of the central cations,the generation of·OH and O2^·-radicals is associated with the substitution of the coordinating water molecules at Co(Ⅱ) by H2O2 and/or OOH^-,followed by the light-driven O–O bond cleavage and dissociation.The outcomes of this study are striking which overcome the obstacles in the classical Fe^Ⅱ-Fenton process,including the slow redox transformation between Fe(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅲ) and the production of massive iron precipitates especially at elevated pH.It opens up new avenues for the development of the high-performance Fenton(-like) catalysts for photocatalytic degradation over extended pH and provides new insight into the related process.
