Uchiyama [11] applied this method to the determination of fluorescent whitening agents and alkyl benzenesulphonates and also methylene blue active substances in bottom sediment samples taken in a lake. The muds were filtered off with a suction filter and frozen until analyzed. About 20g of wet bottom mud was extracted three times with a methanol-benzene (1 1) mixture. After the solvent was evaporated using a water bath, the residue was dissolved in hot water and this solution used for analysis. Table 10.2 shows the analytical results for methylene blue active substances (MBAS), alkyl benzene-sulphonate (ABS), and fluorescent whitening agent (FWA) in bottom sediments. 

This procedure was repeated, first evacuating at 350°C, and finally, at U00°C. The results are expressed in Table I as residual masses of (presumed) water present after activation at 300 and 350°C presuming none to he present after activation at 1 00°C. They show that 1) retention of water by these zeolites at high temperature increases in the sequence CaA NaYwell defined reference masses in every case except that of NaX, where the indefiniteness is of the order of experimental uncertainties. 

After both sets of experiments were completed, the ground-water was drained from the cells and selective chemical extractions of the granite cell walls were performed. The cells were filled with 0.5 mol/L CaCl solution and stirred continuously for 72 h to displace exchangeable radionuclides. After a rinse with demineralized water to remove residual CaCl- solution, the cells were filled with KTOX solution and stirred ror 24 h to remove radionuclides associated with oxyhydroxides. All solutions were analyzed by gamma spectrometry to determine the amounts of radionuclides extracted. Residual activity was measured by direct gamma counting of the cells. 

A solution of 12.6 g. of pure a-methyl-D-glucopyranoside (XXVII) in distilled water is added to 260 cc. of 0.54 M aqueous periodic acid solution (2.1 molecular equivalents). The solution, after being diluted with water to 500 cc., is kept at 20-25° for about twenty-four hours. If desired, the excess periodic acid can be determined by the arsenite method. The rotation of the reaction solution should correspond to [a]i> = +121° calculated for the dialdehyde XXVIII. The solution is neutralized to phenolphthalein with hot strontium hydroxide solution with care to avoid any excess. The precipitate of strontium iodate and strontium periodate is filtered and washed with cold water. After the addition of 1 g. <5f strontium carbonate, the solution is concentrated in vacuum with the water bath at 50° to a volume of about 50 cc., filtered to Temove strontium carbonate, and the concentration (bath, 40°) continued to dryness. The residue is extracted six times with 25-cc. portions of cold absolute ethanol, which separates the dialdehyde completely from slightly soluble strontium salts, as shown by the lack of optical activity of an aqueous solution of these salts. The dialdehyde XXVIII is recovered from the ethanol solution as a colorless syrup in quantitative yield by distillation of the solvent in vacuum with the bath at 40-45°. 

The TEWL measurement has been a valuable tool in barrier repair experiments where repair kinetics were followed by TEWL. However, there are some problems with this method when the efficacy of moisturizers is to be evaluated. Some ingredients of moisturizers like petrolatum are shown to be occlusive.8 Therefore TEWL readings might reflect the occlusive effect of the cream, rather than an improved, less permeable SC. Measurements performed shortly after application of the moisturizer may represent surface water loss of residual emulsion water instead of TEWL. The TEWL measurements must be performed in an environmental chamber with constant temperature and humidity after an appropriate rest period in order to minimize the contribution of sweat gland activity.9... 

Table 3). The three remaining ligands could not be defined accurately and may consist of residual water, hydroxy groups and/ or lattice oxygen atoms (Oj,) After activation at 523 K, the material has a very low residual WGS-activity (Figure 1) compared to a material activated in water gas (i.e. in a 1 1 molar mixture of CO and H20). 

Disinfection of municipal water contaminated with coliforms and fecal streptococci was the subject of a study by Patermarkis and Fountoukidis [31]. Disinfection was achieved using titanium electrodes and direct current. The polarity was alternated every minute to eliminate titanium oxide buildup. No additives or supporting electrolytes were used in this room-temperatures process. At a current density of 2.5 mA/cm and an applied voltage of 45 V, no microbial activity was detected after 30 min of operation. Noncontaminated, electrochemically treated water possessed a residual disinfection capacitiy addition of treated water to a contaminated sample destroyed the microbial life in the sample. 

The W2 3 variety is the most commonly used of all of the Raney nickel catalysts. The commercially available Raney nickel is generally regarded as a W2 catalyst. The commercial catalyst is supplied as an aqueous suspension. Before the catalyst can be used, however, the water must be replaced by ethanol or other suitable solvent. This is done by decanting the water, washing the residual catalyst several times with 95% ethanol, and decanting the solvent after each wash. Several washes, again by decantation, with absolute ethanol removes the last of the water and gives an ethanol suspension of the active catalyst. 

A previous purification of wine sample can be performed by reverse-phase SPE. A volume of 5 mL of wine is added of 15 mL of water and passed through a C18 cartridge previously activated by passage of methanol and water. After washing the cartridge with 6 mL of 0.3% formic acid aqueous solution and 4mL of water, anthocyanin compounds are recovered with 5 mL of methanol. The solution is dried and the residue re-dissolved in the LC mobile phase (Kosir et al., 2004). 

Another SPE method for sample preparation is by C18 cartridge (Zollner et al., 2000). Ten milliliters of wine is applied to a 100-mg cartridge previously activated by the passage of 5 mL methanol followed by 5 mL water. After the sample loading, the column is washed with 2mL water then the stationary phase is dried. OTA is recovered by 1.25 mL of methanol alternatively, methanol/acetic acid 99.5 0.5 solution (Saez et al., 2004) or 3mL of ethyl acetate/methanol/acetic acid 95 5 0.5 (Chiodini et al., 2006), can be used. The solvent is evaporated and the residue redissolved as reported above. 

The Florida soils tested were only weakly capable of degrading EDB under anaerobic conditions. A soil preparation from the 1 m depth from Polk county showed a 40% decrease of labeled and non-labeled EDB, after seven months. No C02 was produced and there was no more 14C-activity in the residual water after hexane extractions than for the sterile preparations. This indicates that the degradation product or products are volatile, such as ethylene. All other soils failed to degrade EDB under similar conditions over equally long incubation periods. This implies that either appropriate organism(s) are not present or the soils contained insufficient secondary carbon sources necessary to maintain cometabolism.

Method II. PAA/PVA ultra-fine fibrous membrane was first activated by EDC in pH4 buffer solution for one hour. After the residual EDC was removed by thoroughly rinsing with deionized water, the treated membrane was immersed in another pH4 buffer solution containing lipase for 24 hrs. The quantities of the materials used were the same as in Method I.
