Allyl propionate-maleic anhydride-styren terpolymer has been modified with glycerin in order to prepare a new cross-linked functional polymer sorbent. The synthesized cross-linked polymer sorbent has a network structure and contains carboxylic acid, carbonyl, hydroxy, and ester groups, all of which are capable of interacting with metal ions. The sorption behavior of UO 2 ions under optimum sorp...

Solid phase extraction (SPE) is often used for enrichment and clean-up prior to analysis of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by electrospray ionization (ESI) coupled to ultrahigh resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). It is generally accepted that extraction by SPE is not quantitative with respect to carbon concentration. However, little information is...

A magnetic nano-composite based on modified styren-maleic anhydride copolymer and Fe3O4 nano-particles was introduced as a new sorbent for solid-phase extraction and preconcentration of trace levels of silver ion from aqueous solutions. The size and morphology of the nano-sorbent were characterized via X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spect...

A report on a project conducted jointly under a cooperative agreement between: Cover photo: Coolside and LIMB are sorbent injection technologies. In Coolside, the sorbent is injected into the flue gas duct, while in LIMB, sorbent is injected into the upper portion of the boiler. Both clean coal technologies rely on humidification— mist sprayed into the flue gas (as shown in the photo)— which he...

Carbon dioxide capture from ambient air could compensate for all carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. Such capture would, for example, make it possible to use liquid, carbon-based fuels in cars or airplanes without negatively impacting the climate. We present a specific approach based on a solid sorbent in the form of an anionic exchange resin, that absorbs carbon dioxide when dry and re...

The alkaloids (hydrastine and berberine) in goldenseal were successfully cleaned up using the Bond Elut Plexa solid phase extraction sorbent. Their HPLC separation was achieved in less than 6 minutes employing an Agilent RRHD ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column (4.6 x 75 mm, 3.5 μm) at 35 °C with gradient elution of 0.1% phosphoric acid/methanol mobile phase. The calibration curves of both alkaloids...

Solid phase extraction is one of the major applications of molecularly imprinted polymers fields for clean-up of environmental and biological samples namely molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction. In this study, solid phase extraction using the imprinted polymer has been optimized with the experimental design approach for a triazine herbicide, named atrazine with regard to the critical fa...

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedures were developed for rapid cleanup and determination of thiabendazole and carbendazim in orange, apple, and grape juices. Samples were prepared by using an SPE cartridge containing a mixed-mode sorbent with both reversed-phase and strong cation-exchange chemistries. Analysis was by liquid chromatography with photodiode-array UV detection. Orange juice was a...
