FeC2O4,2H2O(s) suspensions in sodium hydroxide solutions were oxidized by a fast air-bubble flow at room temperature until complete reaction had occurred. With amounts of NaOH in the range OH/Fe initial mole ratio ≤1.0, the reaction is FeC2O4, 2H2(s)+ OH-(aq)+ �O2(g) → ⅔γFeOOH(s)+1/3Fe(C2O4)33-(aq)+13/6H2O With OH/Fe mole ratio ≥ 2.0 the reaction is FeC2O4, 2H2(s)+ 2OH-(aq)+ �O2(g) → αFeOOH(s)+(C2O4)33-(aq)+ 5/2 H2O Mixtures of goethite (α-FeOOH) and lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) form at intermediate OH/Fe mole ratio. The oxidation process occurs in a solid-phase intermediate product. Comparisons with similar oxidations of iron(11)sulphate solutions showed that γ-FeOOH formation was favoured and α-FeOOH formation inhibited in the iron(11) oxalate oxidation. These differences are related to pH and dissolved iron concentrations.

Abstract Background The AAZTA chelator and in particular its bifunctional derivative AAZTA5 was recently investigated to demonstrate unique capabilities to complex diagnostic and therapeutic trivalent radiometals under mild conditions. This study presents a comparison of 68Ga, 44Sc and 177Lu-labeled AAZTA5-PSMA-617 with DOTA-PSMA-617 analogues. We evaluated the radiolabeling characteristics, in vitro stability of the radiolabeled compounds and evaluated their binding affinity and internalization behavior on LNCaP tumor cells in direct comparison to the radiolabeled DOTA-conjugated PSMA-617 analogs. Results AAZTA5 was synthesized in a five-step synthesis and coupled to the PSMA-617 backbone on solid phase. Radiochemical evaluation of AAZTA5-PSMA-617 with 68Ga, 44Sc and 177Lu achieved quantitative radiolabeling of > 99% after less than 5 min at room temperature. Stabilities against human serum, PBS buffer and EDTA and DTPA solutions were analyzed. While there was a small degradation of the 68Ga complex over 2 h in human serum, PBS and EDTA/DTPA, the 44Sc and 177Lu complexes were stable at 2 h and remained stable over 8 h and 1 day. For all three compounds, i.e. [natGa]Ga-AAZTA5-PSMA-617, [natSc]Sc-AAZTA5-PSMA-617 and [natLu]Lu-AAZTA5-PSMA-617, in vitro studies on PSMA-positive LNCaP cells were performed in direct comparison to radiolabeled DOTA-PSMA-617 yielding the corresponding inhibition constants (Ki). Ki values were in the range of 8–31 nM values which correspond with those of [natGa]Ga-DOTA-PSMA-617, [natSc]Sc-DOTA-PSMA-617 and [natLu]Lu-DOTA-PSMA-617, i.e. 5–7 nM, respectively. Internalization studies demonstrated cellular membrane to internalization ratios for the radiolabeled 68Ga, 44Sc and 177Lu-AAZTA5-PSMA-617 tracers (13–20%IA/106 cells) in the same range as the ones of the three radiolabeled DOTA-PSMA-617 tracers (17–20%IA/106 cells) in the same assay. Conclusions The AAZTA5-PSMA-617 structure proved fast and quantitative radiolabeling with all three radiometal complexes at room temperature, excellent stability with 44Sc, very high stability with 177Lu and medium stability with 68Ga in human serum, PBS and EDTA/DTPA solutions. All three AAZTA5-PSMA-617 tracers showed binding affinities and internalization ratios in LNCaP cells comparable with that of radiolabeled DOTA-PSMA-617 analogues. Therefore, the exchange of the chelator DOTA with AAZTA5 within the PSMA-617 binding motif has no negative influence on in vitro LNCaP cell binding characteristics. In combination with the faster and milder radiolabeling features, AAZTA5-PSMA-617 thus demonstrates promising potential for in vivo application for theranostics of prostate cancer.

Wood is a natural polymeric material that is an important constituent of many heritage collections. Because of its susceptibility to biodegradation, it is often chemically treated with substances that can be harmful to human health. One of the most widely used wood preservatives was pentachlorophenol (PCP), which is still present in museum objects today, although its use has been restricted for about forty years. The development of non-destructive methods for its determination, suitable for the analysis of valuable objects, is therefore of great importance. In this work, two non-destructive solid-phase microextraction (SPME) methods were developed and optimized, using either headspace or contact mode. They were compared with a destructive solvent extraction method and found to be suitable for quantification in the range of 7.5 to 75 mg PCP/kg wood at room temperature. The developed semi-quantitative methods were applied in the wooden furniture depot of National Museum of Slovenia. PCP was detected inside two furniture objects using headspace mode. The pesticide lindane was also detected in one object. The indoor air of the depot with furniture was also sampled with HS SPME, and traces of PCP were found. According to the results, SPME methods are suitable for the detection of PCP residues in museum objects and in the environment.

The odour emitted from the high-tannin fab bean flour ( Vicia faba var. minor), was characterized by headspace solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC–MS). The relative odour activity value (ROAV) was used to monitor the changes in key volatile compounds in the flour during short-term storage at different temperature conditions. The key flavour compounds of freshly milled flour included hexanal, octanal, nonanal, decanal, 3-methylbutanal, phenyl acetaldehyde, (E)-2-nonenal, 1-hexanol, phenyl ethyl alcohol, 1-octen-3-ol, β-linalool, acetic acid, octanoic acid, and 3-methylbutyric acid; these are oxidative degradation products of unsaturated fatty acids and amino acids. Despite the low lipid content of faba beans, the abundances of aldehydes arising during room temperature storage greatly contributed to the flavour of the flour due to their very low odour thresholds. Two of the key volatiles responsible for beany flavour in flour (hexanal, nonanal) increased greatly after 2 weeks of storage at room temperature or under refrigerated conditions. These volatile oxidation products may arise as a result of enzymatic activity on unsaturated fatty acids, and was seen to be arrested by freezing the flour.

The present work investigates the effect of alumina addition on the thermal resistance of fly ash geopolymers. Fly ash geopolymers were synthesised by mixing fly ash with activator solution (A mixture of 12M sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate) at fly ash/activator ratio of 2.5 and sodium silicate/sodium hydroxide ratio of 2.5. The alumina (0, 2 and 4 wt %) was added as an additive. The geopolymers were cured at room temperature for 24 hours and 60°C for another 24 hours. After 28 days, the geopolymers was heated to elevated temperature (200 - 1000°C). For unexposed geopolymers, the addition of 2 wt % of alumina increased the compressive strength of fly ash geopolymers while the strength decreased when the content increased to 4 wt.%. The temperature-exposed geopolymers showed enhancement of strength at 200°C regardless of the alumina content. The strength reduced at higher temperature exposure (> 200°C). Despite the strength degradation at elevated temperature, the strength attained was relatively high in the range of 13 - 45 MPa up to 1000°C which adequately for application as structural materials.

The biopolymer material, lignin, was recovered from the black liquor by acidification of the black liquor using sulfuric acid. Several purification techniques were carried out to produce the high purity of lignin such as gradual precipitation of lignin from black liquor (first stage: precipitation at pH 7, second stage: precipitation at pH 2) and the diluting of crude lignin by sodium hydroxide then followed by re-precipitation at different temperature. Subsequently, the impurities of lignin product resulted from each purification techniques was determined as ash content that analyzed using temperature program furnace; and the content of lignin was investigated using spectrophotometer UV-Vis. The result showed that the content of lignin of material produced from gradual precipitation was approximately 77.6%. It was higher than the content of lignin about 3.4% of material produced from direct precipitation to pH 2. In addition, the elevating of temperature from 40 to 60°C was no considerably affect to the content of lignin in precipitate produced from re-precipitation of crude lignin solution in sodium hydroxide. Nonetheless, the content of lignin of precipitate improved 15% when the temperature of re-precipitation of crude lignin solution in sodium hydroxide was raised from room temperature to 40-60°C.
