AI Article Synopsis
- * This study compared various hydrolyzing acids (sulfuric, trifluoroacetic, oxalic, and formic acid) and found that formic acid, under optimized conditions of 95% concentration at 110°C for 10 hours, yielded the best results.
- * The new high-performance liquid chromatography method developed is both accurate and reliable, leading to improved determination of alginate content and suggesting formic acid as a suitable choice for polysaccharide hydrolysis.
Article Abstract
Alginate is the most abundant polysaccharide compound in brown algae, which is widely used in various fields. At present, the determination of the content of alginate is mostly carried out using sulfuric acid and trifluoroacetic acid hydrolysis followed by the determination of the content, but the results are not satisfactory, and there are problems such as low hydrolysis degree and low recovery rate. Therefore, in this study, based on the optimization of high performance liquid chromatographic conditions for pre-column derivatization of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP), the hydrolysis effects of sulfuric acid, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), oxalic acid, and formic acid were compared and the hydrolysis conditions were optimized. The results showed that formic acid was the best hydrolyzing acid. The optimal hydrolysis conditions were 95 % formic acid at 110 °C for 10 h. The hydrolysis effect was stable, with high recovery and low destruction of monosaccharides, which made it possible to introduce formic acid into the subsequent polysaccharide hydrolysis. The pre-column derivatization high performance liquid chromatography method established in this study was accurate and reliable, and the hydrolysis acid with better effect was screened, which provided a theoretical basis for the subsequent determination of alginate content.

The development of efficient artificial photosynthesis systems is crucial for sustainable chemical production, as they mimic natural processes to convert solar energy into chemical products, thereby addressing both energy and environmental challenges. The main bottlenecks in current research include fabricating highly selective, stable, and scalable catalysts, as well as effectively harnessing the full spectrum of light, particularly the low-energy, long-wavelength portion. Herein, we report a novel composite photocatalyst system based on lead halide perovskites embedded in functionalized MOF glass.

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.

WO/Ag/TiO composite photoelectrodes were formed via the high-temperature calcination of a WO film, followed by the sputtering of a very thin silver film and deposition of an overlayer of commercial TiO nanoparticles. These synthetic photoanodes were characterized in view of the oxidation of a model organic compound glucose combined with the generation of hydrogen at a platinum cathode. During prolonged photoelectrolysis under simulated solar light, these photoanodes demonstrated high and stable photocurrents of ca.
