New insights into the stages of cadmium remediation in ryegrass enhanced by kitchen compost-derived dissolved organic matter: Activation, absorption, and storage.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) regulates plant behavior in both agricultural and environmental fields. However, the regulatory mechanisms by which DOM influences soil-plant system interactions during the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soils remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the enhanced effect of kitchen compost-derived DOM on the Cd remediation capability of ryegrass across three phases of phytoremediation.

Applying kitchen compost promoted soil chrysene degradation by optimizing microbial community structure.

Chrysene, as a high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), has become an important factor in degrading soil quality and constraining the safe production of food crops. Compost has been widely used to amend contaminated soil. However, to date, the main components of kitchen compost that enhance the biodegradation of chrysene in the soil remain unidentified.

Analysis of 15 bile acids in human plasma based on C18 functionalized magnetic organic polymer nanocomposite coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Because of the "enterohepatic circulation" of bile acid, liver damage can be reflected by monitoring the content of bile acid in the serum of the organism. To monitor the concentration of 15 bile acids in plasma samples, a new technique of PRiME (process, ruggedness, improvement, matrix effect, ease of use) pass-through cleanup procedure combined with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was developed. The sorbent used in the PRiME pass-through cleanup procedure is a new type of magnetic organic resin composite nano-material modified by C18 (C18-PS-DVB-GMA-FeO), which has high cleanup efficiency of plasma samples.

Simple coupled ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography and ion chromatography technique for simultaneous determination of folic acid and inorganic anions in folic acid tablets.

Folic acid plays a significant role during periods of rapid cells division and growth. Pregnant women require folic acid daily, either from dietary supplements or folic acid tablets in order to prevent fetal neural tube defects. In this work, a simple coupled ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography and ion chromatography technique was developed for simultaneous determination of folic acid and inorganic anions in folic acid tablets.

Graphene-coated polymeric anion exchangers for ion chromatography.

Carbonaceous stationary phases have gained much attention for their peculiar selectivity and robustness. Herein we report the fabrication and application of a graphene-coated polymeric stationary phase for anion exchange chromatography. The graphene-coated particles were fabricated by a facile evaporation-reduction method.

Iron-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes.

The highly regio- and enantioselective iron-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of 1,1-disubstituted aryl alkenes was developed using iminopyridine oxazoline ligands to afford chiral organosilanes. Additional derivatization of these products lead to chiral organosilanols, cyclic silanes, phenol derivatives, and 3-substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans.
