Mycotoxins have carcinogenic, mutagenic, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, immunotoxic, neurotoxic, and teratogenic properties. Thus, these substances have attracted significant attention because they pose a threat to human health. As research on mycotoxins deepens, new structural analogues of mycotoxins are constantly being discovered.

A new catalytic spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of trace amounts of Al(III). The methods based on catalytic action of Al(III) on the oxidation of indigo carmine (IC) by ammonium persulfate in hexamethylene tetramine-hydrochloric acid ((CH2)6N4-HCl) buffer medium (pH 5.4) and in the presence of surfactant-TritonX-100.

In this paper, new development of modern photometric determination of aluminium in environmental samples in recent years was reviewed and discussed. The new development in modem photometric determination of aluminium in environmental samples was emphasized, including micelle photometric method, dual-wavelength photometric method, derivative photometric method, catalytic photometric method, solid phase photometric method and flow injection photometric method. Reaction systems of determination and it's conditions, molar absorption coefficient (epsilon) or the limit of detection, the scope of determination and applications of the ordinary photometric method, and the micelle photometric method were summarized.

In this paper, lanthanum-doped TiO2 nanometer film materials coated on glass were prepared in Ti(OBu)4 precursor solutions by sol-gel processing. Transmittance and photocatalytic activity were respectively investigated and tested for these nanometer thin films prepared with different amount of lanthanum (La), different amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG), and different coating layer times. Some reactive mechanisms were also discussed.
