Quantifying Si and NAC Release from Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cumulative Si release from the scaffolds was measured at 6, 12, 18, and 24 days. PN, PNM, and PNNM scaffold samples (20 mg) were incubated in 10 mL of distilled deionized water. The Si concentrations of each group were quantified through inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP–AES, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc). Cumulative NAC release was detected through ultraviolet spectrophotometry at 24, 72, 120, 144, 168, 216, and 264 hours. PNNM, PNM, and PN scaffold samples (20 mg) were immersed in 2 mL of distilled deionized water. Then, the samples were mixed with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (0.006 wt%) chromogenic agent at the ratio of 1:18. After 30 minutes of reaction, NAC concentrations were calculated on the basis of the absorbance of the solution at 423 nm.

To measure metal ion content, about 500 mg of shoots and roots were firstly separated from Chrysanthemum plants, respectively. Then, the dried samples were ground and digested with 15 ml nitric acid (HNO3)/perhydrol (H2O2) (3:1, v/v) in a microwave system (MARS, CEM) at 160°C for 20 min. After centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 10 min, the supernatant was used for determining metal ion contents by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) as described recently by Lei et al. (2014) (link).

The crystalline
phases of the W18O49 NCs–rGO support
and the Pt/W18O49 NCs–rGO nanocomposite
were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) (D8 Advance,
Bruker, Deutschland). Raman spectra were measured with a micro-Raman
spectrometer (HR 800, Jobin Yvon, France) at 457.9 nm wavelength.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed with Al Kα
radiation (Kratos AXIS Ultra DLD, Britain). The thermal analysis was
measured by thermogravimeter (TG/differential thermal analysis (DTA),
6300, SEIKO, Tokyo, Japan). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was
performed on a scanning electron microscope (Hitachi S-4300, Japan).
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission
electron microscopy (HRTEM) were performed on a microscope (JEOL JEM2100F,
Japan) operated at 200 keV. The compositions of the catalysts were
analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry
(ICP-AES, Thermo Fisher).

Cadmium Removal by Algal Biomass

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
10 mL of filtrate from each trial of Plackett-Burman and FCCD were taken, filtered by double rings filter paper (Qualitative medium speed 102, diameter 12.5 cm) and analyzed using inductively coupled plasma – atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES, Thermo Scientific).
The efficiency of alga biomass for cadmium ions removal from aqueous solutions was quantitatively calculated as follows: Removalefficiency(%)=CiCf/Ci×100 Where: Ci is the initial metal ion concentration (mg/L), Cf is the final (residual) metal ion concentration (mg/L). All Determinations of cadmium ions in the solution were carried out in triplicates.

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.
