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 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...

    ASTM methods D7968-14 and D7979-15 are used to determine the same list of PFCs but in different matrices. ASTM method D7968-14 lists soil as a matrix while ASTM method 7979-15 lists water, sludge, influent, effluent and waste water as matrix options. These methods use different extraction techniques but both evaluate the samples by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). We evaluated the instrumental portion of the methods using the Shimadzu LCMS-8060 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer....

    Diclofenac (DCF) is one of the most frequently detected pharmaceuticals in various water samples. This paper studied the effects of aquatic environmental factors (pH, temperature and dissolved organic matter) on photodegradation of DCF under simulated sunlight. The results demonstrate that degradation pathways proceed via pseudo first-order kinetics in all cases and the photodegradation of DCF by simulated sunlight. Thermodynamic study indicated that the photodegradation course is spontaneous, exothermic and...

    The safety of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foodstuffs may be compromised by chemical compounds in the various types of packaging and food contact materials (FCMs) that are in direct contact with the consumer product. Due to continuously increasing global regulations, the characterization of extractables and leachables from packaging and FCMs has become more critical than ever for the manufacturers that supply the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries. These chemical compounds are typically categorized...

    AbstractElectrochemical degradation of lignin results in a large number of unknown products, formed by both oxidative and reductive decomposition pathways, which have previously been studied by direct mass spectrometry experiments without prior liquid chromatography separation, revealing the presence of many isobaric molecules. In this study, novel phosphonium-based ionic liquid stationary phases were synthesized and applied in conjunction with high resolution mass spectrometry, to further increase the resolving...
