T1 - Influence of different organic amendments on the potential availability of metals from soil: A study on metal fractionation and extraction kinetics by EDTA N2 - The effects of long-term application of different organic amendments, as compared to mineral fertilizer, on Zn, Cu and Pb content and leachability in a luvisol derived from loess were assessed. The organic fertilizers, applied since 1962, were compost (COM) – from green organic household waste, sewage sludge (SLU) – from municipal water treatment facilities, farmyard manure (FYM) and the doses applied since 1997 were 90 t ha-1, 10 t ha-1 and 9 t ha-1, once in 3 years, respectively. The kinetics of metals extraction with 0.05 mol dm-3 EDTA at pH 6.0 has been studied. The two first-order reactions model was fitted to the kinetic data and allowed to distinguish two pools for each metal: a 'labile' fraction (Q1), quickly extracted with a rate constant k1, and a 'moderately labile' fraction (Q2), more slowly extracted, with a rate constant k2. Simultaneously, the pseudo-total metal contents in the soil samples were determined after digestion with aqua regia (3:1 HCl + HNO3). The obtained parameters Q1, k1, Q2, k2, for the kinetics of extraction of each metal in the three replicates of each fertilization mode, as well as the pseudo-total metal contents, were statistically analysed. COM and SLU application resulted in an increase of the total contents of Pb, Zn and Cu in soil. Further, the percentage of labile Zn and Pb also increased in consequence of the application of those amendments, particularly COM. The increase was more noticeable for Zn. FYM, despite not increasing the total content of Pb, Zn or Cu, did also have an effect on the leachability of Zn and Pb, increasing their labile fraction in soil. These results point to a potential risk of increasing metals mobility in soil, mainly Zn, associated to the use of organic amendments, particularly COM or SLU.

T1 - Modified paramagnetic beads in a microfluidic system for the determination of ethinylestradiol (EE2) in river water samples N2 - In this work, we have developed and characterized a novel microfluidic immunoassay methodology for rapid and sensitive quantification of ethinylestradiol (EE2) in river water samples. The detection of EE2 was carried out using a competitive direct immunoassay method based on the use of anti-EE2 polyclonal antibodies immobilized on magnetic microspheres 3-aminopropyl-modified manipulated for an external removable magnet. The EE2 present in the water sample was allowed to compete with EE2-horseradish peroxidase (HPR) conjugated for the immobilized anti-EE2 antibody. The HPR, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) catalyzes the oxidation of catechol (Q) whose back electrochemical reduction was detected on gold electrode at 0.0 V. The response current obtained from the product of enzymatic reaction is inversely proportional to the amount of EE2 in the water sample. The electrochemical detection can be done within 1 min and total assay time was 30 min. The calculated detection limits for electrochemical detection and the ELISA procedure are 0.09 and 0.32 ng L-1 respectively and the intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were below 5.8%. Our electrochemical immunosensor showed higher sensitivity and lower time consumed than the standard spectrophotometric detection ELISA method, which shows the potential for assessment of EE2 in river water samples.

T1 - Sorption-desorption behavior of atrazine on soils subjected to different organic long-term amendments N2 - Sorption of atrazine on soils subjected to three different organic amendments was measured using a batch equilibrium technique. A higher KF value (2.20 kg-1(mg L-1)-N) was obtained for soil fertilized with compost, which had a higher organic matter (OM) content. A correlation between the KFOC values and the percentage of aromatic carbon in OM was observed. The highest KFOC value was obtained for the soil with the highest aromatic content. Higher aromatic content results in higher hydrophobicity of OM, and hydrophobic interactions play a key role in binding of atrazine. On the other hand, the soil amended with farmyard manure had a higher content of carboxylic units, which could be responsible for hydrogen bonding between atrazine and OM. Dominance of hydrogen bonds compared to hydrophobic interactions can be responsible for the lower desorption capacity observed with the farmyard manure soil. The stronger hydrogen bonding can reduce the leaching of atrazine into drinking water resources and runoff to rivers and other surface waters.

T1 - Reliable information on solids from liquid-Phase adsorption N2 - For the characterization of disperse and porous solids, usually single gas adsorption(GA) is employed. In the case of liquid adsorption (LA), the extraction of information on solids immediately becomes a more sophisticated matter since information on geometric as well energetic parameters of the solids is both superposed by liquid-mixture effects and displayed in excess terms. We have to ask if reliable solid parameters can be also obtained from LA isotherms. The enlarged data bank of gas and liquid adsorption measurements enables us to change systematically solid parameters (e.g., the pore width of MCM-41, the pore entrances of SBA-16, chemical heterogeneity) and to study in this way the influence of solid parameters on LA.

T1 - Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP): Hapten design and development of antibodies N2 - Triacetone triperoxide (TATP), an improvised explosive, is a potential security threat because of its cost-efficient synthesis and the difficulty in detecting it. A highly selective antibody could provide the necessary specificity to the detection process. To obtain antibodies, a hapten made from acetone, hydrogen peroxide, and 7-oxooctanoic acid has been designed, synthesized, and confirmed by NMR that displays the utmost similarity to the analyte. The single-crystal X-ray structures of the solvated species TATP·methanol (1:1) and the TATP derivate were determined. In both compounds, the molecules exhibit D3 symmetry and adopt a twisted boat-chair conformation. The hapten was coupled to bovine serum albumin, and mice were immunized. An immune response against TATP was elicited, and selective antibodies were detected in the mouse serum, which should be very useful for the development of a TATP biosensor system. An ELISA with a limit of detection for TATP of 65 µg L-1 is shown.

T1 - High-pressure phase behavior of ternary systems (carbon dioxide + alkanol + hydrophobic ionic liquid) N2 - Some homogeneous liquid mixtures of an ionic liquid and a lower alkanol (e.g., methanol) can be forced to undergo a liquid–liquid phase split (resulting in a three-phase liquid–liquid–vapor (L1L2V) equilibrium) by pressurization with a gas. Such systems exhibit the phenomenon of "salting out by a nearcritical gas". That phenomenon is often observed at temperatures around the critical temperature of the gas in liquid mixtures where at least one of the liquid components is a good solvent for that gas. New experimental results for both the L1L2V equilibrium and the corresponding critical endpoint lines of the two ternary systems (carbon dioxide + methanol + 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [bmim][PF6]) and (carbon dioxide + 1-butanol + 1-n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [hmim][Tf2N]) at temperatures between 293 and 333 K are reported. The experiments were performed with an "analytical method". The liquid–liquid phase split exists only at pressures between a lower critical endpoint line (where both liquid phases become critical and coexist with a vapor phase) and an upper critical endpoint line (where one of the phases becomes critical with the vapor phase while the critical phases coexist with another liquid phase). The compositions of the coexisting three phases L1, L2, and V differ considerably; a high-density, ionic liquid-rich liquid phase (L1) coexists with an alkanol-rich liquid phase (L2) of lower density and a vapor phase (V) that is virtually ionic liquid-free. For both systems, it was observed that, at constant temperature, increasing pressure shifts the L1 phase towards higher contents of ionic liquid and gas and less alkanol, whereas in the L2 phase the mole fractions of ionic liquid and alkanol decrease. Higher temperatures result in a smaller difference between the pressures of both critical endpoint lines. Experimental results for both critical endpoint lines and for the compositions of the coexisting liquid phases are reported.

A1 - Sturm, Heinz T1 - Reduced bleaching in organic nanofibers by bilayer polymer/oxide coating N2 - Para-hexaphenylene (p-6P) molecules exhibit a characteristic photoinduced reaction (bleaching) resulting in a decrease in luminescence intensity upon UV light exposure, which could render the technological use of the nanofibers problematic. In order to investigate the photoinduced reaction in nanofibers, optical bleaching experiments have been performed by irradiating both pristine and coated nanofibers with UV light. Oxide coating materials (SiOx and Al2O3) were applied onto p-6P nanofibers. These treatments caused a reduction in the bleaching reaction but in addition, the nanofiber luminescence spectrum was significantly altered. It was observed that some polymer coatings [a statistical copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and 2,2-bis-trifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole, P(TFE-PDD), and poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA] do not interfere with the luminescence spectrum from the p-6P but are not effective in stopping the bleaching. Bilayer coatings with first a polymer material, which should work as a protection layer to avoid modifications of the p-6P luminescence spectrum, and second an oxide layer used as oxygen blocker were tested and it was found that a particular bilayer polymer/oxide combination results in a significant reduction in bleaching without affecting significantly the emission spectrum from the nanofibers.

T1 - Comparison of ICP-MS and photometric detection of an immunoassay for the determination of ochratoxin A in wine N2 - An immunoassay was developed for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection in wine and two completely different detection methods were compared: ICP-MS and photometry. For labelling, we applied secondary antibodies conjugated with gold nanoparticles for ICP-MS and with horseradish peroxidase for photometric detection, respectively. Detection limits of the assay were determined as 0.003 µg L-1 for both detection methods. OTA in wine was determined below the EU limit value of 2 µg kg-1. The measurement range was between 0.01 and 1 µg L-1 for ICP-MS and photometric detection. Assay precision detected by ICP-MS and photometry were similar showing that precision of the detection method has only a minor effect on total assay precision. By using BSA as a buffer additive to minimize nonspecific binding, we could also confirm that OTA strongly binds to BSA. In a comparison study of several additives, casein was found to be preferable.

These substances can be used as an indicator for the presence of moulds in the indoor environment. Three different mould strains were cultivated on culture media and IMS spectra of gaseous mould metabolites were recorded using a portable mini system with a tritium source and a 5 cm drift cell. The headspace spectra are characteristic for mould species and their age. Typical gaseous components of the metabolites were identified and compared with results obtained from gas chromatography using a mass spectrometer detector. It was observed that the MVOCs formation depends on mould species and their growing stage with a maximum of MVOCs emission occurring during the first 10 days. These preliminary results show that IMS can be applied to detect MVOCs in indoor environment and indicate hidden mould growth.
