During the last decade, hollow fiber liquid phase micro-extraction (HF-LPME) has become an attractive alternative in sample treatment for the analysis of trace metals in seawater. If compared with other similar methodologies, its main advantages are associated to a higher stability of the organic solution contained into the pores of the fiber, which acts as a lipophilic membrane during the extraction process. However there are some remaining problems that makes its use difficult, mostly related to the need of increasing the rate of analysis and improving portability. In this paper a novel three phase solvent bar micro-extraction (3PSBME) for the fiber device has been proposed. Its main advantage is that the 3PSBME device can be left free in the sample. This way the system is portable, and no special support is needed leading to the possibility of simultaneous extraction of several samples. In this work, multivariate central composite design of experiment has been carried out to optimize Ni pre-concentration using di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (DEHPA) as extractant and HNO3 as acceptor agent. Factors influencing extraction have been the pH in the sample and the fiber length. For seawater samples, Ni can be pre-concentrated 11 times in 140 min. The method presents RSD 9.42% and limit of detection 44 ng L(-1), using GFAAS for instrumental determination. It has been applied for determination of Ni in seawater, including a reference material CRM-403 proving its applicability.

Thermodynamic properties of amino acids explore the ideas about the energetic contribution in biomolecular interfaces. In our work, we have estimated the solvation free energy of leucine and isoleucine peptides with the variation of chain length or residues of different monomer units (n=1, 2, 4, 8 & 16) using molecular dynamic simulation. We modeled our system using OPLS-AA force field and TIP3P water model at 310 K temperature.

The high performance of two-dimensional (2D) channel membranes is generally achieved by preparing ultrathin or forming short channels with less tortuous transport through self-assembly of small flakes, demonstrating potential for highly efficient water desalination and purification, gas and ion separation, and organic solvent waste treatment. Here, we report the construction of vertical channels in graphene oxide (GO) membrane based on a substrate template with asymmetric pores. The membranes achieved water permeance of 2647 L m h bar while still maintaining an ultrahigh rejection rate of 99.

Host-guest binding plays a crucial role in the functionality of various systems, and its efficiency is often quantified using the binding free energy, which represents the free-energy difference between the bound and dissociated states. Here, we propose a methodology to compute the binding free energy based on the energy representation (ER) theory of solution, which enables us to evaluate the free-energy difference between the systems of interest with the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Unlike the other free-energy methods, such as the Bennett acceptance ratio (BAR), the ER theory does not require the MD simulations for hypothetical intermediate states connecting the systems of interest, leading to reduced computational costs.
