Analytical Chemistry
At
present, modern analytical chemistry is on its new stage of
change. Due to the demands resulted from the development of
life science, environmental science, new materials as well
as the introduction of biology, information science and computer
technology, analytical chemistry has entered into a new phase.
For instance, bioactive substances, such as DNA, proteins,
chiral medicines and environmental poisons, are more and more
chosen as analytical objects. The systems of analytical studies
have turned from simple systems to complex ones. The research
has penetrated into unicellular, unimolecular and stereo conformation
levels and the range of study has been expanded from the main
body to surface, micro area and species. In the analytical
research methods, beside the development of various instrumental
analyses, more and more attention is paid to biochemical measures
using enzymes and immunology, as well as the utilization of
stoichiometry for the resolution and processing of analytical
results.
Among the proposals received in different
branches of analytical chemistry in the past two years, the
majority is for chromatography, electrochemistry spectrum
and biochemical analyses. The research contents are more involved
in the analytical methods of early diagnosis of disease, that
of micro?area, surface and species, and the analytical technologies
of chips controlled by micro?flow and nano?particles, as well
as the hyphenated techniques of instruments. The proposals
of new principles and methods of analytical measure with original
creativity are increasing annually. The depth and scope of
interdisciplinary studies with life science and materials
science have also been strengthened.
The orientation of analytical chemistry in the near future
shall be as follows:
1 ) the simple, accurate and sensitive molecular recognition
methods with high selectivity;
2 ) the an vivo, in situ and real?time analysis of trace active
substances and free radicals;
3 ) the test and analysis of unimolecule and mono atom;
4 ) the multi element and multi?dimensional combination and
separation analysis and data processing technique;
5 ) the application of stoichiometry in bioinformation processing;
6 ) the sampling, separation and test of important chemical
substances in complex . systems;
7 ) the analysis of and research on surface, micro area, species
and structure,
8 ) the
analysis of chemical image formation, namo particles and chips,
and
9 ) the miniaturization of analytical instrumentation.
In the future, basic research on new principles and new methods
of analysis and detection in analytic chemistry shall be stressed.
Research areas encouraged
o In situ, in vivo, transient,
multi-dimensional and dynamic analysis;
Analysis of spectroscopes and mass spectra;
o Analysis of protein structure and methodology of proteomics;
Detection of important chemical substances in molecular level
and mono-cell, and
o Areas related to the scientific and technical issues in
the Olympic Games.
Environmental Chemistry
By interpenetrating
with other disciplines, environmental chemistry has been constantly
expanded its research to new areas. It has been making research
progress systematically and comprehensively in broadness by
taking earth, water, sir and organisms as a whole system;
and research has also been further promoted in depth by carrying
out dynamic microchemistry at molecular and active group levels.
Environmental chemistry, together with other relevant disciplines,
is playing an increasingly important role in the areas on
the control of chemical and biological pollution of toxic
chemicals and the protection of ecological environment, human
health and so on.
Proposals received in the past two years have witnessed an
apparent increase in the fields of environmental analytic
chemistry, earth pollution chemistry and polluted ecological
chemistry. In addition, the number of proposals with original
creativity has been markedly raised.
The research orientation in environmental chemistry in the
near future
is as follows:
1 ) the important chemical reactive process and mechanism
of air pollution in major cities (with emphasis on sandstorm,
PM2. 5 and finer particles);
2 ) the complex reaction, transmission mechanism and
species structural changes of pollutants at multi?media interface;
3 ) therelationship between the structures of hardly degradable
toxic organic pollutants and bioactive constituents, and the
biomarkers;
4 ) the interactions and synergistic effects of pollutants
in the environmental system;
5 ) the chemical and biological principles of renovating polluted
soils and water bodies;
6 ) the principles and new technologies for treating municipal
refuse and solid waste substances; 7 ) research on new principles
and technologies for environmental analytical chemistry of
trace pollutants, and
8 ) the environmental behavior and ecological effect of lasting
organic compounds and trace endocrine disrupter compounds.
In the future, it is hoped that more researchers can be engaged
in the studies of interdisciplinary frontier areas by combining
the needs to resolve national key environmental problems,
so as to promote the in?depth development of basic research
of environmental chemistry in China.
Research areas encouraged:
Research on new methods
and technologies for the separation, and an situ and real
time analyses of ultra trace environmental chemicals;
Chemical mechanism of complex pollution;
Renovating mechanism and technologies of polluted soils and
water bodies;
Mechanism and new technologies of treating municipal refuse
and solid waste substances;
Research on the methodology of ecological effects of toxic
chemicals exposed for low dosage and long time, and
o Areas related to the scientific and technical issues in
the Olympic Games.
