We developed a technique controlling contaminant Al3+ level using a combination of kinetics and thermodynamics at a pre-column derivatizing step in HPLC. The technique involves modifying a conventional HPLC of 8-quinolinol (Ox) complex with Al3+. The contaminant suppressing reagents, dihydroxyazobenzene (DHAB) and 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene (pyrogallol) were added to the Ox and pH buffer solutions...

In Southeast Asia, swamp eels (Synbranchidae: Monopterus spp.) are a common source of human gnathostomiasis, a foodborne zoonosis caused by advanced third-stage larvae (AL3) of Gnathostoma spp. nematodes. Live Asian swamp eels are imported to US ethnic food markets, and wild populations exist in several states. To determine whether these eels are infected, we examined 47 eels from markets and 6...

Mesoporous silica functionalized with a 2-hydroxy-naphthyl moiety has been synthesized and characterized by standard techniques like powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption/desorption studies, transmission electron microscopy and spectral studies like FT-IR, UV-visible, fluorescence and 13C and 29Si solid state NMR. The functionalized silica material showed significant enhancement in its emissi...

As an unnecessary element for human body, aluminum can cause a variety of diseases when ingested in excess, so it is great significance Al3+ detection. A new rhodamine probe with excellent photochromic properties based on Al3+- induced ring-opening mechanism the spirolactam was proposed. Upon binding Al3+, generated 1:1 P1-Al3+ complex, confirmed by Job’s plot titrations analysis. Could exhibit...

Resumo Materiais baseados em oxi-hidróxidos mistos de alumínio e ferro (III) foram preparados pela síntese hidrotérmica a partir da ureia, sais nitrato ou cloreto diferentes razões molares Al3+:Fe3+. Foram avaliadas as propriedades estruturais, morfológicas térmicas dos materiais. As misturas nitratos Al3+ Fe3+ conduziram à formação hematita enquanto que nos materiais obtidos cloretos, fases cr...

A new live-cell permeable, fluorescent probe comprised of a simple salicylimine-based Schiff base (SA1) has been developed for Al3+ with nano-molar sensitivity in aqueous media. SA1 was synthesized through a simple structural modification of a recently reported receptor SA2 by the incorporation of the N,Ndiethylamino (DEA) group as a fine controllable unit. This modification affects the perform...

The complexation of five recently synthesized hydroxy-thioxanthone derivatives with Al3+ ion was studied in a methanol solution spectrophotometrically, and the stepwise formation constants of the resulting 1:1 and 2:1 (ligand-to-metal) complexes were evaluated. The suitability of the thioxanthone derivatives as neutral ionophores for the preparation of a new Al3+ ion-selective PVC-membrane elec...

Methane emission was inhibited by aluminium ion in paddy fields. Addition of Al3+ (20 mM) to the culture medium containing cells of pure Methanosarcina barkeri, inhibited methanogenesis. Methanogenic co-factor, F-420, was isolated and purified from Methanosarcina barkeri MS. Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric analysis of interaction between co-factor, F-420, and Al3+ revealed that they ...
