With the aid of a central composite face-centered design, an ion chromatographic method was developed and optimized for analyzing organic acids in tobacco. A Dionex-100 ion chromatograph with an ion suppressor and a conductivity detector, and a Bio-Rad Aminex HPX-87H column were employed. Only 13 analyses were required to optimize two factors: column temperature and eluent strength. Two sets of optimal conditions for separating nine acids were found: 1.8 mM HFBA eluent and 42 degrees C column temperature, and 0.8 mM HFBA eluent and 50 degrees C column temperature. The flow-rate was 0.6 ml min(-1) and the analysis time was 18 min or less. A sample preparation procedure included extraction of 2 g ground tobacco with 100 ml of 5 mM sulfuric acid solution for 3 h, filtration of the extract, and dilution of the filtrate 10-fold with deionized water.

Background: Selpercatinib, a selective RET kinase inhibitor, is approved for treating various cancers with RET gene mutations such as RET-rearranged thyroid cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. The presence of process-related and degradation impurities in its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can significantly affect its safety and effectiveness. However, research on detecting these impurities is limited.

Domestic laundry wastewater is a major contributor to microfiber emissions in the aquatic environment. Among several mitigation measures, the use of external filters to capture microfibers from wastewater is one of the most efficient and commercially viable methods. This study attempted to develop an eco-friendly filtration medium to filter microfibers in laundry wastewater using luffa cylindrica fibers.
