PERFORMANCE INCREASE OF ULTRASOUND LIQUID SPRAYERS

Synthesis of 1-(isopentyloxy)-4-nitrobenzene under ultrasound assisted liquid-liquid phase-transfer catalysis

In this paper, we report the reaction of isoamyl alcohol and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene was carried out in a batch reactor under aqueous-organic biphasic conditions using the techniques like phase transfer catalysis and ultrasound irradiation. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) was employed as the phase transfer catalyst. The reaction is greatly enhanced by adding a small quantity of phase-transfer...

Ionic Liquid-based Ultrasound-assisted In-situ Solvent Formation Microextraction and High-performance Liquid Chromatography for the Trace Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Environmental Water Samples

A green and efficient ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted in-situ solvent formationmicroextraction (IL-UA-ISFME) in combination with high-performance liquid chromatographyultravioletdetection (HPLC-UV) has been successfully developed for the trace determination offive selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental water samples. In thismethod, a hydrophobic ionic liquid (1...

Trace Determination of Duloxetine in Human Plasma by a Novel Ionic Liquid-Based Ultrasound-Assisted In Situ Solvent Formation Microextraction and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

For the first time, a novel and efficient ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted in-situ solvent formation microextraction (IL-UA-ISFME) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) has been successfully developed for the determination of duloxetine (DLX) in human plasma. Herein, an environmentally-friendly hydrophobic ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidaz...

Bugged by automatic sprayers.

Just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts. But a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science. Bugged by Automatic Sprayers Automatic insecticide dispensers are designed to keep restaurants, schools, and other public settings free from annoying and unsanitary flying insects. They may also do something else: sicken at least some of the ...
