Quantifying Iron Speciation in Dechlorination Cultures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the reductive dechlorination experiment, iron levels in culture solutions were analyzed using 1,10-phenanthroline method (The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry 2005 ). Concentrations of total iron, soluble iron and ferrous iron ion were first determined; the concentration of insoluble iron was determined as the difference between the concentrations of total iron and soluble iron. To analyze the total iron concentration, culture solutions were digested with HCl before the 1,10-phenanthroline reaction. For soluble iron determinations, the culture solutions were filtered (Millex-GP filter unit, 0.22 µm; Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) and digested with HCl before the 1,10-phenanthroline reaction. For ferrous iron ion determinations, the culture solutions were filtered as above and analyzed without HCl digestion. The absorbance of the phenanthroline iron (II) complex in solution was measured at 510 nm using Evolution 220 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The iron concentrations were calculated based on a calibration curve prepared using Fe (NH4)2(SO4)2·6H2O solutions. The detection limit of iron was 0.2 mg/L.

Functional groups of the C-dots, PVDF and C-dot-PVDF composite were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) through attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-FTIR using a Thermo Scientific, Nicolet 6700 spectrometer (USA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the composite sample were obtained on a JEOL SEM (Tokyo, Japan, JSM-7400F). For SEM imaging, the sample was coated with iridium and imaged at different magnifications. Membrane hydrophobicity was analyzed by measuring the water contact angles (WCA) using a contact angle meter (Attension Theta Lite, Biolin Scientific, Finland). The contact angles were measured with 4 µl water deposition on triplicate membrane surfaces at different positions for each sample, and average WCA was calculated. Absorbance spectra of the membranes were analyzed by ultravioletvisible (uvvis) absorbance measurements on a Thermo Scientific Evolution 220 spectrophotometer. Photothermal properties of the membranes were evaluated by irradiating the samples with a solar simulator (Sciencetech, AX-LA125, ASTM Class-AAA) operating at 1 kW/m2 intensity (AM 1.5 G) in the wavelength range of 300–2000 nm. Thermal imaging of the membranes to determine the temperature before and after illumination with solar-simulated light was carried out by a thermographic camera (FLIR i7).

The colorimetric ninhydrin assay was used to quantify the primary amine produced by deacetylation of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monosaccharide. Standard solution (0.1 mg/mL) of glucosamine was used to build the standard curve in acetate buffer (0.5 mL; pH 5.5; 4 M). deHA (0.5 mg) and s-deHA (0.5 mg) were used for the assay. The ninhydrin reagent was prepared by mixing 1 g ninhydrin, 0.12 g hydridantin, 23 mL of 2-methoxyethyl acetate with 12.8 mL of 4 N acetate buffer. The total volume of the sample was 2 mL, and this solution was heated in a boiling water bath for 15 min. The reaction mixture was cooled subsequently to rt followed by measuring the absorbance at 570 nm. Absorption and spectra were recorded on Evolution 220 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific) in quartz cells with the optical path length of 10.0 mm at 25°C.

The amount of superoxide anion radicals (•O2) during the photocatalytic process was determined by nitrotetrazolium blue chloride (NBT, 2.5 × 10−5 mol/L). NBT exhibits an absorption maximum at 265 nm, which can be detected by UV-vis spectrophotometer, however, the product of •O2 with NBT does not16 (link). The test procedures were as follows: Firstly, NBT was dissolved in H2O with a concentration of 2.5 × 10−5 mol/L. Then, 0.20 g of the obtained catalyst was dispersed in 200 mL of the NBT solution. Irradiation experiments were carried out under visible light for 20 min, and sampled at an interval of 5min. Finally, the suspension was centrifuged, filtered, and measured on Thermofisher Evolution 220 spectrophotometer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
