Chirální analýza syntetických vonných látek ve vodním ekosystému / Chiral analysis of musk compounds in water ecosystemŠvarcová, Lucie January 2014 (has links)
Diploma thesis summarizes available information about chiral analysis of synthetic musk compounds in the aquatic environment. In the theoretical part of the thesis chirality and importance of chiral analysis by means of examples of different environmental pollutants is documented. Further consideration is aimed on musk compounds, their classification, characteristics and their fate in the environment, especially in the aquatic environment. After that methods for chiral analysis of synthetic musk compounds are reviewed. The aim of the experimental part of this diploma thesis was to carry out the determination of thirteen representatives of musk compounds (2-cyclohexylethanol, allylcyklohexylpropionate, Arocet, Aroflorone, Citronellol, Fresco Menthe, Galaxolide, hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, HSA, isoamylsalicylate, isobornylacetate, Lilial and Linalool), out of which some compounds are chiral and some are achiral. For the analysis samples of wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant Brno - Modřice were taken. Target compounds were isolated by solid phase microextraction (SPME) and were subsequently analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization and mass spectrometric detection. On the basis of data evaluation the removal efficiency forgiven musk compounds in the wastewater treatment plant was assessed.

Prediction of Retention Indices and Response Factors of Oxygenates for GC-FID by Multilinear RegressionKretzschmar, Nils, Seifert, Markus, Busse, Oliver, Weigand, Jan J. 11 June 2024 (has links)
The replacement of fossil carbon sources with green bio-oils promotes the importance of several hundred oxygenated hydrocarbons, which substantially increases the analytical effort in catalysis research. A multilinear regression is performed to correlate retention indices (RIs) and response factors (RFs) with structural properties. The model includes a variety of possible products formed during the hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oils with good accuracy (RRF2 0.921 and RRI2 0.975). The GC parameters are related to the detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA) method, which is commonly used for non-oxygenated hydrocarbons. The RIs are determined from a paraffin standard (C5–C15), and the RFs are calculated with ethanol and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene as internal standards. The method presented here can, therefore, be used together with the DHA method and be expanded further. In addition to the multilinear regression, an increment system has been developed for aromatic oxygenates, which further improves the prediction accuracy of the response factors with respect to the molecular constitution (R2 0.958). Both predictive models are designed exclusively on structural factors to ensure effortless application. All experimental RIs and RFs are determined under identical conditions. Moreover, a folded Plackett–Burman screening design demonstrates the general applicability of the datasets independent of method- or device-specific parameters.
