Approximately 81% of the nation’s energy needs, Liden reports, are supported by fossil fuels. Increasingly, those fossil fuels are being supplied through unconventional oil and gas development from shale and tight sand formations. As unconventional oil and gas development has grown, so have concerns about water usage, the volumes of wastewater produced, and the need to dispose of the wastewater. To develop environmentally responsible wastewater reuse options, it is important to understand the constituents in the wastewater, current waste management strategies, and challenges within the various treatment modalities. Comprehensive analysis of the wastewater matrix requires multiple analytical techniques, including inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy, total organic carbon measurements, and gas chromatography.
High-Throughput 4D TIMS Method Accelerates Lipidomics Analysis
April 25th 2024Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) had been previously proposed for untargeted lipidomics analysis, but this updated approach was reported by the authors to reduce run time to 4 min.
