We measured concentrations of DOC by a high-temperature oxidation method using a TOC-V total organic carbon analyzer, Shimadzu, with potassium hydrogen phthalate as internal standard. For pH measurements in seawater, we used an iodine/iodate electrode from SCHOTT Instruments (IL Micro pHT-A). The electrode was calibrated using standard buffer solutions to DIN 19 266 (SI Analytics GmbH, Mainz, Germany). pH was thus determined on the NBS scale. The Fe concentrations of the samples were analyzed by ICP-MS (Agilent Technologies 7700 ×, Waldbronn, Germany). We monitored 56Fe, using He as a collision cell gas to account for polyatomic interferences. In addition to Fe, the following trace metals were monitored: 27Al, 47Ti, 55Mn, 63Cu, 64Zn, 75As, 139La, 140Ce and 208Pb. The results revealed that the concentrations of these competing metals in the NOM samples were significantly lower than the concentration of Fe. Iron was in parallel detected in the samples by means of graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) using a PinAAcle 900Z (PerkinElmer) after microwave digestion. Anion concentrations (sulfate and chloride) were analyzed by Ion Chromatography (DIONEX ICS-1000).

Example 1

The obtained solvent compositions in Examples 1 to 21 are retained at 50° C. for three days. Chlorine ion concentrations immediately after the preparation (before the test) and after the retention (after the test) are measured, and stability is evaluated by the following index. Table 1 presents the results. Note that any of concentrations in the index of the evaluation is a chlorine ion concentration.

<Index of Evaluation>

“S (excellent)”: less than 10 mass ppm

“A (good)”: 10 mass ppm or more and less than 50 mass ppm

“B (slightly poor)”: 50 mass ppm or more and less than 100 mass ppm

“x (poor)”: 100 mass ppm or more

In the chlorine ion concentration measurement, 40 g of each of the solvent compositions and 40 g of ion-exchange water are put in a 200 mL-capacity separatory funnel, shaken for one minute, and thereafter left still, and an upper-layer aqueous phase obtained by a two-layer separation is separately collected, and the chlorine ion concentration of the aqueous phase is measured by an ion chromatograph (model number: ICS-1000, manufactured by Dionex Corporation).

Ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate were extracted from wet sediments using 2 M KCl (Shen et al., 2013 (link); Hu et al., 2014 (link)), and determined according to the standard methods (APHA, 2017 ). Air-dried sediment samples were sifted for the analysis of other physical and chemical properties (passed through an 18-mesh sieve for the determination of moisture and sulfate, passed through a 100-mesh sieve for the determination of OM and nutrient elements). The moisture of air-dried sediment was determined by the stoving method. The content of soil OM was determined by the K2Cr2O7 oxidation method. Sulfate was extracted by water (the water-soil ratio was 5:1) and was determined by ion chromatography (DIONEX ICS-1000, America). The content of total carbon (TC), nitrogen (TN), and sulfur (TS) was determined using the elemental analyzer (elementar vairo EL CUBE, Germany).

VFAs (acetic, propionic, i-butyric, n-butyric, i-valeric and n-valeric) were analyzed by a gas chromatograph (GC, 4890D, Agilent Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) equipped with a Flame Ionization Detector (HP, 7673A, Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto, CA, USA). COD and NH4+-N were determined according to standard methods [18 ]. The anions elements such as SO42− were measured with an Ion Chromatography (ICS-1000, Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). In order to analyze the similarity of the AnMBR microbial community under different operational conditions, principle component analysis (PCA) was conducted in this study, and redundancy analysis was carried out using the software package Canoco version 5 (http://www.canoco5.com). The biogas was collected from bioreactor through a pipe and measured by a biogas flow meter (µFlow, Bioprocess Control AB, Stockholm, Sweden). The ammonia gas (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) were assessed using an Ammonia 2/a 6733231 Draeger Tube and Hydrogen Sulfide 0.2/a 8101461 Draeger Tube (Draeger Safety, Inc., Houston, TX, USA), respectively.

T, pH, DO and EC were monitored by Sample ProTM (Type MP-SPK-6P-T, QED, USA) during pumping. Chloridion (Cl-) concentration was determined by ion chromatography (Dionex ICS-1000, USA). Nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), sulfate (SO42-), ferrous (Fe2+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) were measured using DR/820 Colorimeter (HACH, USA). CAHs were analyzed by GC (Agilent 7890A) equipped with a split/splitless injector used in splitless mode (240°C), an electron capture detector (ECD) and a 60 m× 0.25 mm× 1.4 μm DB-VRX capillary column (J&W Scientific). The oven temperature program used was as follows: 0 min at 45°C, 12°C/min to 190°C and hold for 2 min. Nitrogen (ultra-pure) was used as a carrier gas and held at a constant flow rate of 2 ml/min and the ECD was operated at 260°C. The analysis was automated using Purge&Trap (Tekma Atomx) with a 5 ml purge tube. The operation conditions were as follows: purge temperature at 40°C, purge flow at 40 mL/min, purge time for 11 min, desorb temperature at 250°C and desorb time for 2 min.

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.
