The MGO catalyst was prepared in a co-precipitation method as described in our previous work.22 In brief, (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O, NH4Fe(SO4)2·12H2O and GO were mixed in water and heated at 85 °C. Aqueous ammonia was added subsequently under nitrogen protection, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h and cooled naturally. Finally, the precipitate was magnetically separated, rinsed, and dried to obtain MGO. The fresh and used MGO catalysts were characterized by nitrogen sorption (Autosorb-iQ-C, Quantachrome, US), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, ESCALAB 250Xi, Thermo Fisher, US) and X-ray diffraction (XRD, D8 ADVANCE, Bruker, Germany) measurements. The leached concentration of iron in the treated water was tested by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS, Agilent 7800, US). The total organic carbon (TOC) content was measured with a TOC analyzer (Multi N/C 2100, Analytik Jena, Germany). The open circuit potential (OCP) test was conducted with a CHI660E electrochemical workstation (Chenhua, China). The treated water sample was analyzed with an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system (Agilent 1290, US) coupled to a mass spectrometer (QTOF6550, US) with an electron spray ionization (ESI) source in the positive ion mode.

The solvent systems used to elute the peptides were Solvent A (0.1% formic acid in MilliQ water), and Solvent B (9 : 1 ratio of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile : MilliQ water). The gradient used was programmed as: 3–50% of solvent B for 30 min, 50–95% of solvent B for 2 min, 95% of solvent B for 7 min, and 95–3% of solvent B for 47 min. The quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) polarity was set at positive, the capillary and fragmentor voltages were set at 2050 V and 300 V, respectively, and the gas flow was set at 5 L min−1 and 325 °C. The peptide spectra were acquired using the Agilent MassHunter Workstation Data Acquisition software (Agilent Technologies, USA) in an auto MS/MS mode ranging from 110 to 3000 m/z for the MS scan, and from 50 to 3000 m/z for the MS/MS scan.

Quantitative Fatty Acid Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The concentration of fatty acids was assessed through absolute quantification of the most abundant fatty acid tails (67 (link)). Frozen cells were resuspensed in 0.1 M HCl/MeOH (50/50) and extracted with 0.5 mL cold (-20°C) chloroform. After removing the solvent under N2 flow, 1 mL of 90% methanol, 0.3 M KOH was added and samples were heated for one hour at 80°C to saponify lipids. Uniformly 13C-labelled C16-0, C16-1, C18-0, C18-1 were added as internal standards. After acidification with 100 μL glacial formic acid, saponified fatty acids were extracted twice with 1 mL of hexane. Samples were dried under N2 gas and resuspended in chloroform/methanol/H2O (1/1/0.3) to a final concentration of 2 μL cell volume per mL. Fatty acids were quantified by LC-MS as previously described (68 (link)), except using a Q-TOF 6550 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) instead of an orbitrap mass analyzer, with absolute concentrations determined by comparing the endogenous unlabeled peaks to the isotope-labeled standard peaks.

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.
