The kinetics, environmental influencing factors, products and reaction mechanism of aqueous phototransformation of bisphenol S (BPS), as an alternative to bisphenol A, which is of environmental concern, were investigated. p-Hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid, as the major transformation product was confirmed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry, electrospray ionization, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and fluorescence spectrum analysis. A reaction pathway was proposed based on the reactive oxygen species related results by electron paramagnetic resonance and radical traps. The competition of the excited state of BPS between transferring electron to O2 to •O2- and directly oxidizing H2O to •OH was revealed.

    A sensitive and simple cloud point extraction method was developed for simultaneous separation and preconcentration of cadmium and copper prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. 4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide was used as complexing agent and the cadmium and copper complexes were extracted from the aqueous phase by Triton X-114 surfactant. The effects of parameters such as sample pH, ligand amount, concentration of surfactant, incubation temperature and time were optimized. For 20 mL of...

    Laser ablation is a powerful approach to chemical analysis because of its versatility. It has advantages in chemical analysis including direct characterization of solids, no chemical procedure of dissolution, which reduces the risk of contamination or sample loss, analysis of very small samples not separable from solution analysis, and determination of spatial distribution of elemental composition. This article, recently published in Spectroscopy, reviews the most common laser ablation techniques such as LIBS...

    There is a lack of knowledge in environmental pollution of the anthropogenic contaminants in wastewater and surface water. Several organic compounds merit special attention, because of their potential risk to the aquatic environment. Therefore, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry-based screening analyses were performed in order to identify anthropogenic organic contaminants and to reveal information on the structural diversity of individual compounds and to characterize their environmental behavior. Wastewater...

    A method for determination of chlorophenols (CPs) in sediments was developed using ultrasonic solvent extraction followed by solid-phase extraction, derivatization, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Some effective operational details and parameters on mixing of samples and extraction solvent, adsorption loss, and extraction cycles of the derivatives were studied and optimized. The calibration curves of standard solutions were observed in the range of 0.5–100 μg L−1 and correlation coefficie...

    The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectrometry as a complementary method for routine monitoring of reclaimed water production. Robustness of the models and compliance of their sensitivity with current quality limits are investigated. The following indicators are studied: total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nitrate. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) is used to find linear correlations between absorbances and indicators...
