Determination of T‐2 toxin in grain and grain products by HPLC and TLC

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the T‐2 toxin contaminated grain and grain products consumed especially by Turkish population. The T‐2 toxin was detected using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detector at 208 nm and the identify of T‐2 was further confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The recovery was 91 ±4.24% for corn flour fortified with the known amount of T‐2 toxin (1 ppm). The detection limits of T‐2 toxin for the HPLC and the TLC were 25 ng and 50 ng, respectively. A total of 30 commercially available grain and grain product samples were analyzed. Two corn flour samples were found to contain detectable levels of T‐2 toxin at a level of 1.60 ppm and 4.08 ppm.     

高铁酸钾预氧化并复合高岭土与PAC絮凝去除水中的颤藻

对高铁酸钾预氧化并复合高岭土与PAC絮凝法除水中颤藻的效果进行了研究。通过正交实验得出了在实验水质条件下,去除颤藻的最佳条件为:高铁酸钾的投加量2.4 mg/L、高岭土24 mg/L、PAC 5 mg/L及pH值为6.5。在此条件下,K2FeO4除藻效果明显优于传统的PAC絮凝工艺。考察了K2FeO4对接种到培养液中的颤藻生长活性的影响,结果表明,随着K2FeO4量的增加,颤藻生长活性抑制时间增长。数码生物显微镜观察表明:K2FeO4在低浓度2.4 mg/L下不能破坏颤藻细胞结构,高浓度50 mg/L下可使其细胞破裂死亡。     

Groundwater arsenic removal by coagulation using ferric(III) sulfate and polyferric sulfate: A comparative and mechanistic study

Elevated arsenic (As) in groundwater poses a great threat to human health. Coagulation using mono-and poly-Fe salts is becoming one of the most cost-effective processes for groundwater As removal. However, a limitation comes from insufficient understanding of the As removal mechanism from groundwater matrices in the coagulation process, which is critical for groundwater treatment and residual solid disposal. Here, we overcame this hurdle by utilizing microscopic techniques to explore molecular As surface complexes on the freshly formed Fe flocs and compared ferric(III) sulfate (FS) and polyferric sulfate (PFS) performance, and finally provided a practical solution in As-geogenic areas. FS and PFS exhibited a similar As removal efficiency in coagulation and coagulation/filtration in a two-bucket system using 5 mg/L Ca(ClO)₂. By using the two-bucket system combining coagulation and sand filtration, 500 L of As-safe water (<10 μg/L) was achieved during five treatment cycles by washing the sand layer after each cycle. Fe k-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and As k-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis of the solid residue indicated that As formed a bidentate binuclear complex on ferrihydrite, with no observation of scorodite or poorly-crystalline ferric arsenate. Such a stable surface complex is beneficial for As immobilization in the solid residue, as confirmed by the achievement of much lower leachate As (0.9 μg/L-0.487 mg/L) than the US EPA regulatory limit (5 mg/L). Finally, PFS is superior to FS because of its lower dose, much lower solid residue, and lower cost for As-safe drinking water.     

污水厂生物除臭设施运行及影响因素的研究

在污水处理过程中会有大量的恶臭气体产生,主要含硫化氢和氨等发臭物质.这些臭味物质逸散到空气中,对污水处理厂及其周边的空气环境造成危害.针对清河污水处理厂原有生物除臭设施除臭效率难以提高的问题,对气体收集系统和生物除臭滤池内的喷淋管路进行了改造,并更换了新型生物填料.本研究对改造前后的除臭效果进行了考察,结果显示,硫化氢的平均去除率从改造前的36.5%提高到62.9%,最大去除率可以达到96.2%;氨的去除率从28.2%提高到接近100%.臭味气体的处理效果随除臭滤池的温度、气体的相对湿度的升高而提高.为此,对臭味气体的负荷、流量、温度以及湿度等因素进行了研究,在温度＞20℃、相对湿度＞80%的条件下,生物除臭滤池能够有比较理想的处理效果.     

Modelling feeding flow related shrinkage defects in aluminum castings

The process modelling of shape casting is geometrically complex and computationally very challenging. Besides the three-dimensional complex shapes with multiple domains, the defects of interest to industry arise as a consequence of the interaction amongst a range of phenomena. Conventionally, the key phenomena and defect prediction are modelled through empirical relations applied to the simulation results. Such approaches are neither comprehensive nor reliable. This paper presents a 3-D model that is capable of predicting the formation of shrinkage defects explicitly as a function of the interacting continuum phenomena, i.e. free surface flow, heat transfer, and solidification, in complex three-dimensional geometries which allows to identify the distinction between surface depression, surface connected cavities and internal cavities.The model solves the coupled macroscopic conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy with a phase change during solidification. In the model, the volume deficit due to solidification can either be compensated by depression of the outside surface or by creating a cavity that initiates either on the surface or in the interior of the casting. The solidification morphology is taken into account by using a parameter, which depends on the fraction solid, in the momentum equation. By using an adapted free surface algorithm, it is suitable to predict surface connected defects: depressed surfaces and caved surfaces. A critical pressure serves as a criterion to open internal shrinkage cavities. The model does not need to search for connected zones to feed shrinkage, but the shrinkage distribution will automatically emerge from the continuity equation.This advanced shrinkage model has experimentally been validated successfully using two Al-Si alloys, a skin freezing eutectic alloy and a mushy freezing hypo-eutectic alloy.

吡啶降解菌中质粒的功能探讨

为了探讨吡啶降解菌质粒的特性及其与降解的关系,对降解吡啶的2株细菌Paracoccus sp.BW001及Shinellazoogloeoides BC026进行了质粒提取和脉冲电泳实验,确定BW001含有2个190～245kb的大质粒和1个4.5～5.0kb的小质粒,而BC026含有至少3个超过200kb的大质粒.通过高温-SDS法对含有质粒的2株菌进行质粒消除实验,发现质粒消除后的细菌不再降解吡啶,推测降解吡啶的基因可能存在于质粒上.通过电转化将Paracoccus sp.BW001的质粒转入E.coli5α中,发现转化后的菌株具有耐受吡啶的特性.
