This study reports reactive adsorptive dechlorination of hydrocarbon oil over TiO2-based metal oxides atthe temperatures of 20-150 oC. TiO2 and a series of TiO2-CeO2 were prepared by precipitation method and characterizedby N2 adsorption, XRD, FT-IR, pyridine-IR, NH3-TPD and CO2-TPD. The characterization results showed thatboth the acidity and basicity of the adsorbent had a significant impact on its dechlorination capacity. TiO2-U precipitatedby urea exhibited higher dechlorination capacity than TiO2-A precipitated by ammonia due to the higher surfacearea, more acid and base amounts of the former. Among various Ti(1x)CexO2 (x=0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1) oxides,Ti0.7Ce0.3O2 and Ti0.3Ce0.7O2 bimetallic oxides showed higher dechlorination capacity than TiO2-U, and the chlorineremoval over Ti0.7Ce0.3O2 reached 82.8% after adsorption at 150 oC for 3 h. Mixing 5 wt% of alkali earth metal oxideinto Ti0.7Ce0.3O2 mechanically enhanced its dechlorination capacity, and the chlorine removal over Ti0.7Ce0.3O2-BaOreached as high as 92.1%. The chlorine removal increased with increasing the adsorption temperature. Ion chromatographyand GC-MS analysis revealed that organochlorine compound was converted into Cl and its corresponding alcoholover the adsorbent at 150 oC. Finally, the mechanism of reactive adsorption dechlorination was proposed.

This study examined changes of rumen fermentation, ruminal bacteria biodiversity and abundance caused by nitrate addition with Ion Torrent sequencing and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Three rumen-fistulated steers were fed diets supplemented with 0%, 1%, and 2% nitrate (dry matter %) in succession. Nitrate supplementation linearly increased total volatile fatty acids and acetate concentration obviously (p = 0.02; p = 0.02; p<0.01), butyrate and isovalerate concentration numerically (p = 0.07). The alpha (p>0.05) and beta biodiversityof ruminal bacteria were not affected by nitrate. Nitrate increased typical efficient cellulolytic bacteria species (Ruminococcus flavefaciens, Ruminococcus ablus, and Fibrobacter succinogenes) (p<0.01; p = 0.06; p = 0.02). Ruminobactr, Sphaerochaeta, CF231, and BF311 genus were increased by 1% nitrate. Campylobacter fetus, Selenomonas ruminantium, and Mannheimia succiniciproducens were core nitrate reducing bacteria in steers and their abundance increased linearly along with nitrate addition level (p<0.01; p = 0.02; p = 0.04). Potential nitrate reducers in the rumen, Campylobacter genus and Cyanobacteria phyla were significantly increased by nitrate (p<0.01; p = 0.01).To the best of our knowledge, this was the first detailed view of changes in ruminal microbiota by nitrate. This finding would provide useful information on nitrate utilization and nitrate reducer exploration in the rumen.

Background: To identify candidate external quality assessment (EQA) materials for normetanephrine and metanephrine measurements, we assessed the commutability of eight processed human plasma samples. The agreement between routine assays and the candidate reference measurement procedure (cRMP) was also evaluated. Methods: Fifty-three clinical samples and eight processed plasma samples were prepared. The processed samples included pooled and individual plasma samples spiked with pure normetanephrine and metanephrine and non-spiked pooled and individual plasma samples. The clinical and processed samples were subjected to four routine isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry assays and cRMP. Commutability was assessed based on two approaches recommended by the CLSI and International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC). Passing–Bablok regression and Bland–Altman analysis were used to evaluate the agreement between the routine assays and cRMP. Results: The commutability results of the CLSI approach were better than those of the IFCC approach. For the CLSI approach, spiked individual plasma samples and spiked high-concentration pooled plasma samples were commutable for all routine assays for both analytes. The non-spiked pooled plasma sample was commutable for two out of four routine assays for metanephrine and three out of four routine assays for normetanephrine. The agreement between the routine assays and the cRMP was satisfactory, except for one routine assay showing significant bias. Conclusions: High-concentration spiked pooled plasma samples and spiked individual plasma samples are candidate EQA materials for normetanephrine and metanephrine measurements.
