Published: January 2010

The chromatographic properties of microdispersed sintered nanodiamonds (MSND) are studied under conditions of normal-phase HPLC. The retention characteristics of 30 substances representing four classes of aromatic compounds including monoalkylbenzenes, polymethylbenzenes, di-n-alkyl phthalates and polyaromatic hydrocarbons in n-alkane mobile phases have been measured. The selectivity of MSND was compared with literature data for other common adsorbents including silica gel, alumina and porous graphitic carbon (PGC). MSND shows the distinctive adsorption properties especially in a stronger retention of aromatic hydrocarbons and in the better selectivity of the separation of geometric isomers. The significant improvement in separation efficiency up to 45,300 theoretical plates per meter, was achieved for the first time for the columns packed with diamond related materials (DRM).

Introduction: Molybdenum (VI) oxide nanoparticles (MoO3 NPs) are widely used in various economic activities. This creates elevated risks of exposure to this nanomaterial for workers and population in general and, consequently, there can be an increased number of developing pathological changes caused by exposure to MoO3 NPs.

Objective: To examine and comparatively assess peculiarities of bioaccumulation and toxic effects produced by MoO NPs under multiple oral introductions.

We juxtapose methods of synthesis of non-polar surface-layered sorbents on the platform of a carrier, which combines macro-porous coarse-dispersed polytetrafluoroethylene with micro-dispersed activated carbon. Further, we present data about the sorption properties of the said materials alongside perspectives of their analytical applications. Our study established that with respect to efficacy of dynamic sorption from gaseous phases these sorbents outperform bulk-porous analogues in their normal, granular form.
