Because petroleum contaminants have a big impact on marine environment, the recognition and monitoring research of petroleum contaminants has important application value. According to the petroleum products all process strong fluorescence characteristics, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy technology can be applied to petroleum contaminants for monitoring. This paper adopts PARAFAC to deal with 3-d fluorescence data of petroleum pollutant. Thereby get that PARAFAC algorithm can get accurate resolution system of the corresponding spectrum each substance and relative concentrations. In addition, to get better predicted results by PARAFAC method, the fluorescence intensity of interference substance should be significantly less than fluorescence intensity of the lowest concentration of the sample which is to be predicted.

In this paper, a novel fluorescent material with high conductivity as 0.45 S·cm-1 and strong fluorescence has been successfully synthesized basing on polyaniline (PANI) nanostructures doped with a new prepared fluorescein TPABTDBN. The PANI nanostructures were prepared via a simplified template-free method (STFM) with FeCl3 as oxidant and dopant. The resulting sample was characterized by SEM, IR and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of synthesized composite improves with the increasing content of TPABTDBN. The electrical properties of pressed composite pellets were measured from room temperature about 291K down to 132K, the conductance follow the exponential temperature dependence of three-dimensional variable-range hopping (VRH) model.

This article studies the process of relaxation of the pressure in a tank with the damaged area of the wall after pressure-testing. The authors use different methods for the diagnosis of the technical condition of objects of petroleum products storage. Pressure testing is one of nondestructive methods. The rate of pressure decrease is characteristic of the system tightness. This article studies the cases of ground and underground location of the tank. Pressure testing involves excess pressure inside of a tank and observing its decrease. Over time, one can assess the integrity of the system. This has required creating mathematical models to account the filtration of the liquid depending on the location of the tank. The results include the analytical solution of the task and the formulas for describing the dependence of the relaxation time of pressure in the tank from the liquid and soil parameters, geometry of the tank, and the damaged portion of the wall. The two- and three-dimensional cases of liquids filtration for the case of underground location of the tank were considered. The results of some numerical calculations of the dependence of reduction time and the time of half-life pressure from the area of the damaged portion of the wall were shown. The obtained solutions allow assessing the extent of the damaged area by the pressure testing with known values of tank, liquid, and soil.

In order to make HPI have a wide application prospect in the food industry, we used EGCG to modify HPI. In this study, we prepared different concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mM) of (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) covalently linked to HPI and use methods such as particle size analysis, circular dichroism (CD), and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy to study the changes in the structure and functional properties of HPI after being covalently combined with EGCG. The particle size data indicated that the covalent HPI-EGCG complex was larger than native HPI, and the particle size was mainly distributed at about 200 μm. CD and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy analyses showed that the conformation of the protein was changed by conjugation with EGCG. The β-sheet content decreased from 82.79% to 66.67% after EGCG bound to the protein, and the hydrophobic groups inside the protein were exposed, which increased the hydrophobicity of the protein and changed its conformation. After HPI and 1 mM of EGCG were covalently bonded, the solubility and emulsifying properties of the covalent complex were improved compared with native HPI. These results indicated that HPI-EGCG conjugates can be added in some foods.

The standardization of the botanical origin of honey reflects the commercial value and quality of honey. Nowadays, most consumers are looking for a unifloral honey. The aim of the present study was to develop a novel method for honey classification using chemometric models based on phenolic compounds analyzed with right angle fluorescence spectroscopy, coupled with stepwise linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The deconstructed spectrum from three-dimensional-emission excitation matrix (3D-EEM) spectra provided a correct classification score of 94.9% calibration and cross-validation at an excitation wavelength (λex) of 330 nm. Subsequently, a score of 81.4% and 79.7%, respectively, at an excitation wavelength (λex) of 360 nm was achieved. Each chemometric model confirmed its power through the external validation with a score of 82.1% for both. Differentiation could be correlated with hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids, which absorb in this region of the spectrum. Fluorescence spectroscopy constitutes a rapid and sensitive technique, which, when combined with the stepwise algorithm and LDA method, can be used as a reliable and predictive authentication tool for honey. This study indicates that the developed methodology is a promising technique for determination of the botanical origin of common Greek honey varieties. Our long-term ambition is to support producers and suppliers to remain in a competitive national and international market.

In this paper, the terbium -doped nano-HA powders with strong fluorescence was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and its crystal structure,morphology and fluorescent properties are characterized by XRD, TEM, XPS, ICP and PL spectroscopy. Results showed that with the doping concentration of Tb3+increasing, the aspect ratio of Tb3+-doped HA particles decreased, while the fluorescence intensity excited by ultraviolet ray at 272 nm is significantly enhanced. With pH values increased from 6.5 to 10.0, the aspect ratio of Tb3+-doped HA decreased greatly, and the morphology of nano-Tb:HA particles changes from rod particles to equiaxed particles and the actual doping content and the fluorescence intensity tends to increase correspondingly, which can be explained that under alkaline solution, Tb3+was more easier entering the HA crystal, and the Tb3+would substitute the Ca2+ in both hydroxyapatite Ca(Ⅰ) and Ca(Ⅱ) site, which may block the active growth sites of the seed crystals and resulted in the growth rate and the ratio of length to radius decreasing.
