Abstract The occurrence of highly exothermic and potential runaway reactions represents a significant hazard to workers, facilities, the surrounding ecosystem. Due their high reaction velocity, these often prove difficult monitor. In many instances, recorded data result from several single-quantity sensors, such as temperature pressure sensors. Yet, deviations anticipated process, thus potentially hazardous parameters, may only be identified by combination sensor data, leaving cause...
Abstract The European Union requires environmental monitoring of the antidepressant drug venlafaxine. Advanced oxidation processes provide a remedy against spread micropollutants. In this study, photoinduced and electrochemical decompositions venlafaxine were investigated in terms mechanism efficacy using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution multifragmentation mass spectrometry. Kinetic analysis, structure elucidation, matrix variation, radical scavenging...
The fluoroquinolones ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, enoxacin, levofloxacin and lomefloxacin, occur in water bodies worldwide therefore pose a threat to the aquatic environment. Advanced purification procedures, such as electrochemical oxidation, may act remedy since they contribute eliminating contaminants prevent micropollutants from entering open bodies. By treatment micro-flow reactor equipped with boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode, were efficiently degraded. A total of 15 new products...
This study focuses on the degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics, sulfadiazine, sulfamethazine, sulfamethoxazole, and sulfathiazole, using ultraviolet irradiation in various conditions. Different pHs were investigated combination with addition hydrogen peroxide further oxygen removal. High-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry was used to identify elucidate products establish concentration–time curves. Previously unknown could be characterized....
Fluorinated steroids were examined using 1D and 2D homo- heteronuclear (19)F NMR, such as (19)F-(1) H (19)F-(13)C. The utilization of fluorine NMR accounted for spectral simplification resulted in a straightforward pathway the determination structures including configuration these compounds; present an illustrative example other types fluorinated compounds, which are increasingly encountered drug discovery. potential is elaborated on detail two compounds containing diastereotopic fluorines...
Pharmaceuticals are found in waterbodies worldwide. Conventional sewage treatment plants often not able to eliminate these micropollutants. Hence, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have been heavily investigated. Here, metoprolol is exposed UV irradiation, hydrogen peroxide, and ozonation. Degradation was analyzed using chemical kinetics both for initial secondary products. Photo-induced irradiation enhanced by peroxide addition accelerated degradation more than ozonation, leading complete...
Abstract Background Imidacloprid is among the most widely used insecticides and today found in surface ground water worldwide. It has been registered EU watchlist for monitoring. To prevent imidacloprid from entering bodies, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have intensely researched. Photo-irradiation proved one of efficient methods to degrade eliminate anthropogenic micropollutants waters. The ecotoxicity assessment photoinduced degradation transformation products especially absence...
Process analytical technology aims at process knowledge and improvement, efficiency, sustainability. A prerequisite is monitoring. The combination of microreaction systems spectroscopy proved suitable due to dimension compound reduction real-time monitoring capabilities. Compact 1 H NMR, NIR, Raman were used monitor the biocatalyzed hydrolysis esterification acetic anhydride isoamyl acetate using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) in a system real-time. To facilitate...

Current analytical methods reveal ever more different water bodies. concentrations waters that are detectable reach nano-and picogram ranges, i.e., ppb and ppt levels. Observed amount to as high few micrograms. Among major entry...
Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the global population since 2019. rapid development and approval of vaccines brought relief. Yet, effective cures are still being researched. Even if situation may end, SARS-CoV-2 will remain and, thus, continued application drugs lead to emissions active ingredients into aquatic environment, as with other anthropogenic micropollutants. However, a general method for trace analysis antiviral is missing. To this purpose, favipiravir, remdesivir, its...
The Noell Conversion Process was developed to guarantee the safe disposal of sewage sludge and other waste materials by means thermal treatment, evenwith very strict emission standards. center piece this process is a pressurized entrained flow gasifier. reactin conditions in gasifier does not only suppresses formation dioxins furans, but also completely destroys any furans contained materials. Another advantage referring treatment recovery marketable substances such as synthesis gas, sulphur...
Abstract Indirect and unsymmetrical indirect covariance NMR provide powerful tools to compute visualize correlation information by transforming component spectra into combined spectral data matrices.
