Disclosed is a method for preparing adrenochrome by catalytic oxidation using nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes. The method catalyzes dissolved oxygen in an aqueous solution by the nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes to rapidly oxidize adrenaline, which is completely transformed into adrenochrome. It is a novel preparation process of adrenochrome, which is simple, and has mild reaction conditions, high product purity, an impurity content less than 10.sup.−8%, and low subsequent processing cost, thereby having a great application prospect. The nitrogen-doped carbon tubes after use can be regenerated and recovered, and its reutilization is still able to realize the complete transformation of adrenaline. The high utilization rate of catalytic material conforms to the concept of energy conservation, minimizing the costs.

A method for making a caffeoylquinic composition from a botanical source is disclosed. The method may include chromatographing an extract of biomass on an ion exchange stationary phase and obtaining an eluent comprising a caffeoylquinic composition. The biomass may be stevia or yerba mate, for example. The caffeoylquinic composition includes one or more of monocaffeoylquinic acid, dicaffeoylquinic acid, and salts of the foregoing.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for purifying BNNT and purified BNNT, more specifically to an apparatus and a method for purifying BNNT, which allow separation of pure BNNT from synthesized BNNT wherein various impurities are included with high purification efficiency and separation of BNNT based on length, and purified BNNT. The method for purifying BNNT according to the present disclosure is characterized in that pure BNNT is separated from synthesized BNNT based on length by inputting a mobile phase including synthesized BNNT into a column chromatography device.
