Monitoring redox conditions with redox indicators during microbial reductive dechlorination in microcosms and bioaugmented columns

Creator:: Ruiz-Haas, Peter A.
Abstract:: New methods, sensors, and devices based on redox indicators were developed to monitor redox conditions in anoxic and anaerobic laboratory systems and the subsurface environment. The primary application was monitoring redox conditions during the dechlorination of tetrachioroethene (PCE) to ethene (ETH) in packed columns and microcosm bottles containing an enriched...

Development and evaluation of sampling techniques, instrumentation, and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water with a portable fluorometer

Creator:: Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai
Abstract:: A novel, portable, filter fluorometer was developed for the determination of chloroform and TCE at environmentally-relevant levels when coupled with improved sampling techniques and reagents. Reagents selective for the TCE or chloroform convert these toxic species into fluorescent species that can be monitored. The fluorometer is based on LED excitation...

Evaluation of sampling/preconcentration techniques and pyridine derivative reagents for fluorometric determination of chloroform and TCE in water

Creator:: Prayoonpokarach, Sanchai
Abstract:: A direct purge technique was developed for the determination of chloroform or trichloroethylene (TCE) in water samples. These volatile organic solvents are transferred from the water sample to a reagent where they are trapped and react to form products (Fujiwara chemistry) that are monitored fluorometrically. Chloroform in a water sample...

The development and characterization of miniature spectrometers for measuring the redox status of environmental samples

Creator:: Cantrell, Kevin
Abstract:: A spectrometer, here denoted a Simple, Low-power, Inexpensive. Microcontroller-based or SLIM spectrometer. was developed that exploits the small size and low cost of solid-state electronic devices. This approach results in customizable spectrometers that are considerably less expensive and smaller than traditional instrumentation. The performance of the SLIM spectrometer was evaluated...

Studies towards the total syntheses of (+)-phomactins A, D and G

Creator:: Schwartz, Keith D.
Abstract:: Studies towards the total synthesis of (+)-Phomactin A (1), D (6), and G (9), fungal metabolites with unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediates 354 and 356, which contain all of the carbon atoms of 1, 6 and 9....

Asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropanes via a "zipper reaction"

Creator:: Lincoln, Christopher M.
Abstract:: The rearrangement of a homoallyl cation to a cyclopropylcarbinyl cation is thought to play a role in the biogenesis of a variety of cyclopropane-containing natural products,¹ a hypothesis which has previously led to the design of successful biomimetic syntheses of several natural products.² The strategy underlying this approach to cyclopropane...

Luminescent sulfides and solution-deposited oxide thin films

Creator:: Anderson, Jeremy T.
Abstract:: Solid state luminescent sulfides are prepared as powders in order to elucidate the relationship between structure and light emission. While the sulfides studied in this dissertation are known phosphors, materials are investigated in a variety of new ways. Elementary properties and structures of MgS are reviewed, and preparation of MgS...

Natural product synthesis via cyclobutanes : part I, Asymmetric synthesis of (+)-byssochlamic acid, part II, An approach to the nootropic agent huperzine A

Creator:: Kim, Jungchul
Abstract:: PART I. Asymmetric syntheses of both natural (+)- and nonnatural (-)-byssochlamic acid via a [2+2] photoaddition-cycloreversion strategy are described. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the cyclohexylamine salt 99 showed that the structure of the monomethyl ester 100 from esterase hydrolysis of 44 was originally misassigned as 56. The enantiomeric relationship of...

Micro total analysis system for in-situ and autonomous spectrophotometric monitoring of iron in groundwater

Creator:: Koch, Corey R.
Abstract:: We have developed a compact micro total analysis system (μTAS) to serve as a platform for in-situ spectrophotometric water quality monitoring. Individual fluidic, optical, and electrical components were designed, developed, and characterized. These components were combined in both an integrated (single lithographic “chip-based” platform) and a modular manner. The microfluidic...
