Rapid Quantification of Oxytetracycline Based on Fluorescence Enhancement Influenced by pH.

Accurate quantification of antibiotics in environmental samples is typically challenging due to the low antibiotic concentrations and the complexity of environmental matrices. This paper presents a fluorescence spectrometry method for determining oxytetracycline under alkaline conditions. The ionic distribution of the oxytetracycline solution was analyzed based on its dissociation constant.

Novel Fe/Ca oxide co-embedded coconut shell biochar for phosphorus recovery from agricultural return flows.

Efficient elimination and recovery of phosphorus from agricultural return flows are crucial for effective eutrophication management and phosphorus reuse. In this study, a neutral Fe/Ca oxide co-embedded biochar (FCBC) was synthesized using calcium peroxide and ferrous chloride as precursors for phosphate recovery from agricultural return flows. FCBC possesses a highly intricate pore structure and an abundance of surface-active groups.

Treatments of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) against Cryptocaryon irritans with •OH, ClO or HCHO: Survival, physiological and histological response.

Cryptocaryon irritans causes one of the most serious diseases in various wild and cultured marine fish, leading to mass mortality and economic loss. In this study, hydroxyl radical (•OH) solution produced by strong ionization discharge combined with water jet cavitation effect was injected into orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) aquaculture tanks for C. irritans control.
