The interaction of aspirin and ibuprofen with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by spectrofluorimetry under simulated physiological conditions. Both aspirin and ibuprofen quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA and the binding ratios obtained were 2 : 1 for aspirin–BSA and 3 : 1 for ibuprofen–BSA interactions, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔS and ΔG) obtained from the fluorescence spectroscopy data showed that the binding of aspirin to BSA involved van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds. Competitive experiments using warfarin and diazepam as site markers indicated that aspirin was mainly located in the hydrophobic pocket of site II of the protein as well as to a small extent in site I. Furthermore, the competitive interaction of the aspirin and ibuprofen with BSA, which was studied with the use of the three-way excitation–emission fluorescence spectra and a parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) chemometrics method, showed that the competitive effect of ibuprofen was stronger than that of aspirin, i.e. the former molecule replaced the aspirin from the aspirin–BSA complex.

Changes in spectral features and molecular weight (MW) of dissolved organic matter (DOM) along the A/A/O processes in eight full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were characterized using size exclusion chromatography with a diode array detector, a fluorescence detector and an organic carbon detector in tandem (SEC-DAD-FLD-OCD) as well as bulk water quality parameters. The parallel factor (PARAFAC) and the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) analyses have been effectively applied to the postprocessing of SEC-FLD fingerprints and SEC-OCD chromatograms, respectively. Individual SEC-FLD-PARAFAC or SEC-OCD-NMF components may span a broad range of MW, indicating that these SEC fractions within the same component were cognate and varied coherently across the dataset samples. The SEC-FLD-PARAFAC modeling and SEC-OCD-NMF analysis have clearly and concisely presented that the dramatic decreases of dissolved organic carbon, UV absorbance at 254 nm and protein-like fluorescence at Ex280/Em350 nm in the anaerobic process were primarily associated with the degradation of the large MW proteinaceous and polysaccharide-like biopolymers. It has also revealed that fluorescence of humic acid-like fractions increased significantly during the anaerobic process, but fluorescence of fulvic acid-like and humic substances’ building blocks decreased slightly. Laboratory experiments further confirmed the presence of the humification process in anaerobic processes, and the formation of humic acid-like fluorophores may be associated with carbohydrate metabolism. The combination of SEC-FLD-PARAFAC and SEC-OCD-NMF helped to establish the links between changes in bulk water quality parameters and the evolution of SEC MW fractions, which provides a more in-depth insight into wastewater DOM treatability and enables the optimization of wastewater treatment processes.
