Effect of Seasonal Storage on Single-Stem Bark Extractives of Norway Spruce (Picea abies)
2021
Increasing the net value of forestry side-streams has both ecological as well as economic benefits for emerging biorefining industries. Spruce bark represents one of the nature’s abundant sources of valuable extractives. In this study, the impact of storage on the quality and quantity of Norway spruce (Picea abies) extractives was examined as a function of storage time, environmental conditions and season (i.e., winter or summer). The bark from stored spruce saw logs was extracted with an accelerated solvent extractor (ASE) at 120 °C with hexane and water. The produced extracts were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively by gas chromatography with a flame ionisation detector (GC-FID) and…
Liquid chromatography in pharmaceutical analytics
2017
Tutkielmassa perehdytään nestekromatografian käyttöön lääkeaineanalytiikassa. Korkean erotuskyvyn nestekromatografia (HPLC) on suosittu menetelmä lääkeaineiden analysoinneissa, esimerkiksi pitoisuuksien tai epäpuhtauksien määrityksissä. HPLC-menetelmät voidaan luokitella useisiin alalajeihin ja käänteisfaasinestekromatografia (RP-HPLC) on niistä suosituin lääkeaineanalytiikassa. Tässä kirjallisuuskatsauksessa käsitellään erityisesti nopeaa nestekromatografiaa. Analyysimenetelmiä voidaan nopeuttaa sopivan kolonnin avulla. Tavanomainen HPLC-ajo on mahdollista toteuttaa lyhyemmässä ajassa käyttämällä lyhyttä kolonnia tai kolonnia, jossa partikkelikoko on pieni. Kuitenkin tehokkain tapa on käyt…
Biogas measurement techniques and the associated errors
2011
There are several techniques for the measurement of laboratory scale biogas production. This thesis describes the study and evaluation of the most significant and commonly used biogas measurement techniques and analyzes the source of errors associated with the measurement of biogas production. Firstly, inaccuracy mainly due to biogas carbon dioxide (CO₂) dilution in displaceable liquids and losses to atmosphere of dissolved CO₂ was evaluated by testing solubility of CO₂ in different barrier solutions. Saturated acidified brine solution showed lower CO₂ solubility among the tested solutions. An accurate, simple, automated and easy to calibrate laboratory scale liquid displacement gas measuri…
Märkälujaliimojen määritys pyrolyysi-kaasukromatografi-massaspektrometrillä
2017
Polymeerien, kuten märkälujaliimojen, analysoiminen on ollut nykyisillä menetelmillä erittäin työlästä tai hidasta. Pyrolyysi edustaa kuitenkin menetelmää, jolla esikäsittely ja aika saadaan minimiin. Menetelmässä näyte pilkotaan pienemmiksi yhdisteiksi, jolloin näyte saadaan helpommin analysoitavaan muotoon. Yleisimmin pyrolyysiä käytetään yhdessä kaasukromatografian kanssa. Työn kirjallisessa osassa perehdyttiin yleisimpien märkälujaliimojen valmistukseen, rakenteisiin ja ominaisuuksiin. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa käytiin myös läpi pyrolyysin periaatteet, sovellukset sekä kartongin ja eräiden märkälujaliimojen pyrolyysituotteet. Lisäksi työssä perehdyttiin typpimäärityksiin. Työn kokeellise…
Step-by-step analysis of drinking water treatment trains using size-exclusion chromatography to fingerprint and track protein-like and humic/fulvic-l…
2019
This paper provides a glimpse into the removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during conventional drinking water treatment and evaluates the potential of high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) as a supplementary tool for routine monitoring of drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). Two DWTPs in Central Finland were systematically evaluated using HPSEC with simultaneous UV and fluorescence detection. For tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like, and humic/fulvic-like DOM fractions of various molecular weight (MW) values, the total and step-by-step removal efficiencies were estimated along the treatment trains. Overall, both DWTPs removed ∼70% of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and r…
Occurrence of pharmaceuticals in municipal wastewater treatment plants and receiving surface waters in Central and Southern Finland
2016
The presence of five selected pharmaceuticals, four anti-inflammatory drugs, diclofenac, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen, and an antiepileptic drug carbamazepine, was determined at four municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and in the receiving waterway near the city of Jyväskylä, in central Finland and also in the River Vantaa. First, an analytical method was developed including a pretreatment and purification followed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. The studied pharmaceuticals were detected from influents and effluents of four municipal WWTPs and from surface water of eight locations along the water …

Availability of extractives from various Norway spruce (Picea abies) stumps assortments
2022
Stumps and knotwood of Norway spruce (Picea abies) are valuable sources of wood extractives. Although lignans from knotwood have already been utilized in value-added products, the behavior and valorization of stump-derived extractives are less studied. In this study, the composition of lipophilic and hydrophilic extractives, particularly lignans, from various spruce stump samples (stump bottom, stump heart, and crushed stump samples) stored outside were studied. Lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts were separated with an accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) apparatus using n-hexane and hot water, respectively. The detailed extractives content of samples was then determined by gas chromatogra…
Analysis of Lipophilic Extractives from Fast Pyrolysis Bio-Oils
2022
Fast pyrolysis bio-oils (FPBOs) originating from forest residues contain extractive-derived substances, which may form a separate, sticky layer with char particles on the surface of these bio-oils. In this study, first, the removal of extractive-derived substances from the bio-oil top phase was studied by common solvents with different polarities. In this case, the results indicated that when aimed at the maximum yield of single-phase fuel oil and thus the maximum amount of extractives removed, the use of n-heptane or n-hexane seems to be of benefit for this purpose. For safety reasons, the use of n-heptane was recommended. Second, an analysis practice (extraction time and the way of mixing…
