Chromatography Data System Articles on Environmental XPRT

Performance-Based Measurement Systems

Many of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) methods used to monitor air, water and soil for environmental contaminants prescribe step-by-step details on how the chemical analysis must be conducted and prohibit any deviations or variations. The EPA has recognized that monitoring equipment and technology have improved tremendously over the last few years; that environmental media do not ...

ACQUITY Arc System: Transferring Validated HPLC Methods within USP Guidelines

The thought of transferring established high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods onto a another vendor’s LC, or a new platform like UHPLC/UPLC, may cause a bit of anxiety for those that may be unaware of how easy it can be. The reason that the topic of analytical method transfer induces so much angst is that for the transfer of an LC method to succeed, the method has to work as ...

Degradation mechanism of Methyl Orange by electrochemical process on RuOx–PdO/Ti electrode

The electrochemical degradation of Methyl Orange in 0.1 M NaCl solution over RuOx–PdO/Ti anode was investigated. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), ion chromatography (IC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to detect the intermediates formed during the electrochemical degradation. In the present reaction system, Methyl Orange ...

Air emissions impact measurements at a perchloroethene remediation site

As part of an U.S. EPA time critical removal action, an air monitoring system was established to measure real-time impacts of perchloroethene (PCE) on the surrounding areas. The soils and groundwater beneath the site (located in West Fargo, North Dakota) were treated using in situ heating of soil and groundwater, with the produced vapors collected using conventional vapor extraction. In order ...

Investigation of the effects of temperature and sludge characteristics on odors and VOC emissions during the drying process of sewage sludge

Sludge drying is a necessary step for sludge disposal. In this study, sludge was collected from two wastewater treatment plants, and dried at different temperatures in the laboratory. The emission of odor and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) during the sludge drying process were determined by an online odor monitoring system. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in off-gas were analyzed ...

Evaluation of benzene exposure in adults and urinary s-phenylmercapturic acid in children living in Adelaide, South Australia

Abstract: Benzene Exposure was evaluated in adults and children living in Adelaide, South Australia by measuring benzene and urinary s-phenylmercapturic acid (SPMA). To determine of benzene exposure in each subject the personal passive samplers was used and samples were analyzed by gas chromatography system equipped to flame ionization detector. The level of SPMA was determined by competitive ...

Smart Infrastructure is Key for QA/QC

Paperless, or more accurately integrated, labs enjoy streamlined operations with better data, while minimizing costs, validation and maintenance. Laboratories responsible for QA/QC are a sum of many parts, but no part is more important than data. Data is THE product, and the integrity of that data is more than critical to today’s pharmaceutical laboratories. So what happens when processes ...

Ultra-Pure Proof with Mass Detection

Before joining the newly formed Reach Separations in February 2012, I spent five years at AstraZeneca in analysis and purification (latterly as group lead in reversed phase and chiral purification). This experience gives me a good perspective of both the needs of “big pharma” and, more recently, the needs of a specialist separation solution provider. My ...

$Quantifying the anthropogenic fraction of fatty alcohols in a terrestrial environment$

Quantifying the anthropogenic fraction of fatty alcohols in a terrestrial environment

Fatty alcohols are naturally produced hydrocarbons present in all living organisms. They are also used in detergent and cosmetic formulations, may be sourced from either petroleum or biological materials, and are typically disposed of down the drain. This study was conducted on the Luray catchment, Virginia, USA, where sales data indicate that approximately 2 kg of fatty alcohols from detergent ...
