AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method using ion chromatography (IC) and a conductivity detector has been developed to analyze glyoxal, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, and glyoxylic acid, marking its first application in glyoxylic acid electrosynthesis.
  • The method enables simultaneous separation and quantification of these substances during electrochemical reactions, with an ideal eluent being either Na2CO3-NaHCO3 or NaOH-Na2CO3.
  • Results show high detection sensitivity (better than ppm), consistency with variation coefficients below 2%, and recovery rates between 97-103%, proving the method to be selective, fast, and easy to use.

Article Abstract

Based on ion chromatography (IC) technology, we have developed a new method that combines ion chromatography with a conductivity detector to separate and determine the substances of glyoxal, glycolic acid, oxalic acid and glyoxylic acid. The ion chromatography was applied for the first time in quantitative determination of substances involved in electrosynthesis of glyoxylic acid. The method has been applied to separate and analyze simultaneously either glyoxylic acid and glyoxal in electroxidation of glyoxal, or glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid in electroreduction of oxalic acid. An aqueous Na2CO3-NaHCO3 or NaOH-Na2CO3 solution was confirmed to be the most desirable eluent. The experimental results demonstrated that the detection sensitivity is ahead of ppm grade, and the variation coefficients such as the retention time, the peak height and the peak area outperform 2%. All the recoveries of the detected substances are ranged between 97 and 103%. The method exhibits advantages of high selectivity, high sensitivity, speediness and simple apparatus requirement. Furthermore, simultaneous determination of a mixture of several substances can be achieved by the developed method, and even a neutral molecule of glyoxal can be also determined by choosing an appropriate composition and concentration of eluent.

Nitrate-Photolysis Shortens the Lifetimes of Brown Carbon Tracers from Biomass Burning.

Environ Sci Technol

December 2024

State Ecology and Environment Scientific Observation and Research Station for the Yangtze River Delta at Dianshan Lake, Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center, Shanghai 200030, China.

Biomass burning is an important source of brown carbon (BrC) aerosols, which influence climate by affecting the Earth's radiative balance. However, the transformation pathways of BrC chromophores, especially in the presence of photochemically active species, such as nitrate, are not well understood. In this study, the nitrate-mediated aqueous-phase photooxidation of three typical BrC chromophores from biomass burning was investigated, including 4-nitrocatechol, 3-nitrosalicylic acid, and 3,4-dinitrophenol.

Introduction: The gut microbiome, allegedly involved in both healthy homeostasis and development of disease, is found to be associated with several types of cancer. Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), important metabolites derived from the gut microbiota, are described to carry both protective and promoting features in cancer development. Limited research exists on neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and their association with microbiota derived SCFAs.

Background And Purpose: Glyphosate-based herbicides, extensively utilized worldwide, raise concerns regarding potential human risks due to the detection of glyphosate (GLY) in human body fluids. This study aims to address critical knowledge gaps regarding whether GLY undergoes metabolism in humans, particularly considering the limited information available on human metabolism.

Experimental Approach: The study investigated GLY and its metabolites in eight amenity horticultural workers using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) data analysis.

This study aims to compare the effects and mechanisms of the standard decoction and formula granules of Paeoniae Radix Rubra in regulating the metabolism in the rat model of heat toxin and blood stasis. SD rats were randomized into control, model, standard decoction, and formula granules groups. After 14 days of administration, the rats in the latter three groups were subjected to subcutaneous injection with carrageenan and intraperitoneal injection with bacterial lipopolysaccharide for the modeling of heat toxin and blood stasis.

Glyoxylic acid monohydrate promoted reductive addition of sodium sulfinates to pillar[4]arene[1]quinone.

An efficient synthesis of sulfonate esters through reductive addition of sodium sulfinates to pillar[4]arene[1]quinone has been established (15 examples). Compared to the arylsulfonylation of -quinone with sodium arylsulfinates under other acidic conditions, this work affords the hydroquinone-type 4--sulfonyl derivatives by using glyoxylic acid monohydrate as a promoter. The protocol features mild reaction conditions and high selectivity and is an alternative protocol for the -sulfonylation of pillar[4]arene[1]hydroquinone.
