  • a rapid confirmatory method for analyzing tetracycline antibiotics in bovine swine and poultry muscle tissues matrix solid phase dispersion with Heated Water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
    Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2006
    Co-Authors: Sara Bogialli, Roberta Curini, Antonio Di Corcia, And Aldo Lagana, Gabriella Rizzuti
    Abstract:

    A rapid, specific, and sensitive procedure for determining four widely used tetracycline antibiotics and three related epimers in bovine, swine, and poultry muscle tissues is presented. The method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique with Heated Water as the extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS) equipped with an electrospray ion source. Target compounds were extracted from tissues with 5 mL of Water Heated at 70 °C. After acidification and filtration, 100 μL of the aqueous extract was injected in the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the multireaction monitoring mode, selecting two precursor ion to product ion transitions for each target compound. Heated Water appeared to be an excellent extractant, since the absolute recovery data ranged between 70 and 78%. The accuracy of the method was determined at three spike levels, using minocycline as a surrogate analyte, in any different kind of muscle tissues considered and varied between...

  • simple assay for analyzing five microcystins and nodularin in fish muscle tissue hot Water extraction followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
    Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005
    Co-Authors: Sara Bogialli, Roberta Curini, Antonio Di Corcia, And Aldo Lagana, Milena Bruno, Barbara Mari
    Abstract:

    A simple, specific, and sensitive procedure for determining six cyanotoxins, that is, microcystins RR, LR, YR, LA, and LW and nodularin, in fish muscle tissue is presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique with Heated Water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)−tandem mass spectrometry (MS) equipped with an electrospray ion source. Target compounds were extracted from tissue by 4 mL of Water acidified to pH 2 and Heated at 80 °C. After acidification and filtration, 0.2 mL of the aqueous extract was injected in the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the multireaction monitoring mode, with at least two precursor ion > product ion transitions selected for each target compound. Analyte recovery ranged between 61 and 82% and was not substantially affected by either the analyte concentrations or the type of fish. The nonexcellent recovery of some of the microcystins was traced to binding of these compounds to protein phosphatases in fish tissue occu...

  • simple confirmatory assay for analyzing residues of aminoglycoside antibiotics in bovine milk hot Water extraction followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
    Journal of Chromatography A, 2005
    Co-Authors: Sara Bogialli, Roberta Curini, Antonio Di Corcia, Aldo Lagana, Monica Mele, Manuela Nazzari
    Abstract:

    A simple, selective and sensitive procedure for determining nine widely used aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGs) in bovine whole milk is presented. It is based on matrix solid-phase dispersion with Heated Water, at 70 degrees C, as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS) using an electrospray ion source. After acidification and filtration, 0.2 ml of the aqueous extract was injected into the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the multi reaction monitoring mode, selecting two (three, when possible) precursor ion > product ion transitions for each target compound. Analyte recoveries ranged between 70 and 92%. Using aminosidine (an AG not used in veterinary medicine) as surrogate internal standard, the accuracy of the method at three spike levels varied between 80 and 107% with R.S.D. not larger than 11%. The limits of quantification were between 2 ng/ml (apramycin) and 13 ng/ml (streptomycin). They are well below the tolerance levels set by both the European Union and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

  • simple and rapid assay for analyzing residues of carbamate insecticides in bovine milk hot Water extraction followed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry
    Journal of Chromatography A, 2004
    Co-Authors: Sara Bogialli, Roberta Curini, Antonio Di Corcia, Manuela Nazzari, Aldo Lagana, Michela Tonci
    Abstract:

    A simple, specific and rapid procedure for determining six largely used carbamate insecticides in bovine whole milk is here presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique with Heated Water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) equipped with a single quadrupole and an electrospray ion source. Target compounds were extracted from milk by Water Heated at 90 degrees C. After acidification and filtration, 0.2 mL of the aqueous extract was injected in the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the selected ion-monitoring mode, selecting three ions for each target compound. Heated Water appeared to be an excellent extractant, since absolute recovery data ranged between 76 and 104% with R.S.D. not larger than 8%. Using butocarboxim (an obsolete carbamate insecticide) as surrogate internal standard, the accuracy of the analysis at three spike levels varied between 85 and 105% with R.S.D. not larger than 9%. On the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio of 10, limits of quantification were estimated to range between 3 ppb (propoxur) and 8 ppb (pirimicarb). The effects of temperature, volume and flow rate of the extractant on the analyte recovery were studied.

    Abstract:

    A simple, specific, and rapid analytical method for determining seven largely used carbamate insecticides in tomato, spinach, lettuce, zucchini, pear, and apple is here presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique, with Heated Water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) equipped with a single quadrupole and an electrospray ion source. Target compounds were extracted from the vegetal matrixes by Water Heated at 50 °C. After acidification and filtration, 0.25 mL of any aqueous extract was injected in the LC column. MS data acquisition was performed in the selected ion monitoring mode, selecting three ions for each target compound. Heated Water appeared to be an excellent extractant because recovery data ranged between 76 (carbaryl in spinach) and 99% (pirimicarb in spinach), with RSDs not larger than 10%. Using trimethacarb (an obsolete carbamate insecticide) as a surrogate internal standard, the accuracy of the analysis varied between ...

  • Water injection in a micro gas turbine assessment of the performance using a black box method
    Applied Energy, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ward De Paepe, Frank Delattin, Svend Bram, Jacques De Ruyck
    Abstract:

    Microturbines offer new perspectives in small-scale heat and power production however their profitability depends strongly on the yearly amount of running hours. The non-continuous heat demand often leads to a reduction in running hours. This paper proposes an alternative by recuperating the lost thermal power through the injection of Heated Water in the micro Gas Turbine (mGT). Water injection is considered a successful way to increase power and efficiency in industrial gas turbines and similar effects are expected for microturbines. This paper reports on a series of simulations of Water injection performed on a Turbec T100 mGT. The goal of this study was to investigate the potential of Water injection in the mGT cycle using an adiabatic black box method in the Aspen® process simulation tool. Past experiments with steam injection on the T100 demonstrated the potential of introducing steam/Water in the microturbine cycle.

Past experiments with steam injection on the T100 demonstrated the potential of introducing steam/Water in the microturbine cycle. Calculations revealed that the key parameters for maximum heat recuperation are stack and pinch temperature. Simulations showed that most of the exhaust heat can be recovered through injection of Heated Water after the compressor, resulting in an 18% decrease in fuel consumption and an absolute increase in electrical efficiency of 7%.
