Abstract

Two extraction reagents, hydrochloric acid (HCl) and acid ammonium oxalate solution (Tamm's reagent), were used to evaluate the redox state of iron in municipal solid waste (MSW) with different deposit ages. Orthogonal experiments were conducted to optimize the extraction conditions for extractable iron speciation (ferric and ferrous) in MSW. The optimal extraction conditions for HCl were determined as follows: the liquid-to-solid ratio was set at 100, and then the samples were extracted at the shaking speed of 200 rpm at 35 degrees C for 60 min by 1.00 M HCl. For Tamm's reagent, the optimal extraction conditions were extracted at the shaking speed of 175 rpm at 30 degrees C for 12 h with the same liquid-to-solid ratio. However, Tamm's reagent extraction is much more laborious and time-consuming. Thus the HC1 extraction might be a better choice for the evaluation of the redox state of iron in MSW. The results also showed that the yield of extractable iron increased with deposited age. About 60-83% of extractable iron was presented as ferrous in the MSW deposited for 1-8 years. This study supplied a tool for investigating the role of iron on the fate of pollutants in the landfill.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
