dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method (dllme) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (hplc-uv) was used to determine thiamine (b1), nicotinamide (b3) and pyridoxine (b6) in sour cherry juice. this method was rapid, simple and sensitive. separation was accomplished using a c18 column. the optimum chromatographic conditions were found to be: mobile ph...

in this study, we combined ionic liquid-based dispersive liquid liquid micro extraction (il-dllme) with faas for determining the palladium in different real samples at the trace level. 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [hmim][pf6] ionic liquid and 1-(2-pyridylazo) 2-naphthol (pan), were chosen as the extraction solvent and the chelating agent, respectively. the hydrophobic pd–pan ...

background and objectives: furfural (f) and hydroxymethyl furfural (hmf) are cyclic aldehydes, which are formed during the heat processing of foods. these chemical contaminants have received much attention due to their suspected health hazards and heat damage indicators. the aim of the present study was extraction and determination of f and hmf in baby-foods using dispersive liquid-liquid micro...

This study evaluated biosolid quality over time and the efficiency of using amounts (5 7 kg/m2) municipal class A biosolids in Qatar to fertilize tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum). Random samples were subjected physical chemical analysis, which revealed excellent particle uniformity stability with minor odor defects. The analysis confirmed product was nutrient-rich while pollutant levels bel...

Municipal wastewater treatment facilities are considered to be "hotspots" for antibiotic resistance, since they conjoin high densities of environmental and fecal bacteria with selective pressure in the form of sub-therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics. Discharged effluents and biosolids from these facilities can disseminate antibiotic resistant genes to terrestrial and aquatic environments,...

This paper reviews current biosolids management options, and identifies incineration as a promising technology. Incineration is attractive both for volume reduction and energy recovery. Reported emissions from the incineration of biosolids were compared to various regulations to identify the challenges and future direction of biosolids incineration research. Most of the gaseous and metal emissi...
