In this study, quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei has been established. The complicated hydrolysis behavior of the Al ion, which causes fish poisoning and inhibits the growth of plants in environmental water, was clarified by Al qNMR spectroscopy. Highly accurate simultaneous multicomponent quantitative analysis of various hydrolyzed forms of the Al ion was achieved in a non-destructive manner. The calibration curve of the external standard aqueous Al(NO) solution showed excellent linearity over a very wide concentration range from 1 × 10 to 1 mol L (an increase in concentration of 10 000 times), with a simple experimental and analytical procedure. Furthermore, the weaknesses of the conventional Ferron assay and the advantages of Al qNMR spectroscopy were considered. The quantitative determination error for the free [Al(HO)] ion and the trinuclear complex, which has a high complexation rate, is higher in the Ferron assay than in the Al qNMR technique. The concentrations of four Al species were directly determined by Al qNMR, namely, free [Al(HO)], the trinuclear complex, Al(OH), and tridecameric hydrolyzed Al, which has a Keggin structure. The concentration of the tridecamer rapidly increased until 100 min after NaOH addition, and showed a local maximum after 1 week. In addition, the concentration of colloidal Al hydroxide, which cannot be detected by NMR spectroscopy, was determined by numerical analysis. This species was generated in the initial stage of reaction, and then the tridecamer formed very slowly.

Tire wear particles (TWPs) are among the most relevant sources of microplastic pollution of the environment. Nevertheless, common analytical methods like IR and Raman spectroscopy are highly impaired by additives and filler materials, leaving only thermogravimetric methods for chemical analysis of TWPs in most cases. We herein present quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) as an alternative tool for the quantification of the polymeric material used for the production of tires, including natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene-copolymer (SBR), polyethylene-co-propylene (EPR) and polybutadiene (BR).

Methanol contamination of the Philippine coconut spirit (often called coconut wine) is the major cause of -related deaths in the country. Hence, a strict quality control and detection method must be established for methanol in tandem with ethanol analysis. In this study, a quantitative Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (qNMR) method using H analysis was developed to quantify the methanol and ethanol in 26 samples collected from four different provinces in Luzon, Philippines.

Hydrogels are interesting materials as delivery systems of various therapeutic agents, mainly due to the water-swollen network and the localized and sustained drug release. Herein, single-component starch-based hydrogels with enhanced degradation rates were produced by applying a facile synthesis and proposed for a novel delivery system of therapeutic molecules. Starch was oxidized with sodium periodate in water and mild conditions to generate aldehyde derivatives that, after a freeze-thaw procedure, were allowed to compact and stable hydrogels.

When a few drops of acid (hydrochloric, acrylic, propionic, acetic, or formic) are added to a colloid comprised of 1D lepidocrocite titanate nanofilaments (1DLs)-2 × 2 TiO octahedra in cross-section-a hydrogel forms, in many cases, within seconds. The 1DL synthesis process requires the reaction between titanium diboride with tetramethylammonium (TMA), hydroxide. Using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the mass percent of TMA after synthesis is determined to be ≈ 13.
