A headspace solid-phase microextraction method was developed for the preconcentration and extraction of methyl tert-butyl ether. An ionic-liquid-mediated multiwalled carbon nanotube-poly(dimethylsiloxane) hybrid coating, which was prepared by covalent functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with hydroxyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) using the sol-gel technique, was used as solid-...

Bisphenol A (BPA) in the presence of phenol is determined using a method based on first-derivative spectrofluorimetry. The proposed method involves a micro liquid-liquid extraction of sodium chloride saturated water samples with diethyl ether followed by direct fluorimetric analysis of extracts. The excitation spectra of both compounds in diethyl ether are recorded between 200 and 290 nm, with ...

A simple and rapid solidified vortex assisted 1-undecanol based liquid-liquid microextraction technique was proposed for preconcentration of trace levels of lead ions. The extraction solvent (1-undecanol) was dispersed into the aqueous samples by the assistance of vortex agitator. 100 µL of 1-undecanol containing ethyl (2Z)-3-[(5-chloro-7-methyl[1,3]thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidi...

Abstract In this study, microfunnel-supported liquid-phase microextraction method (MF-LPME) was optimized and applied for the determination of some chlorophenoxyacetic acids (CPAAs) from natural water samples. The extraction was performed with 540 μL toluene which was retained at the surface of the sample solution using an upside down microfunnel. After the extraction, toluene was moved in...

A method of microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) followed by liquid chromatography with diode array detection has been developed and optimized for the extraction of six tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, nortriptyline, imipramine, desipramine, doxepin, nordoxepin) from human serum. The optimal parameters of MEPS extraction (type of sorbent, volume of sample, composition, and volume o...

a user-friendly and inexpensive ionic liquid-based single-drop microextraction (il-sdme) method was developed to preconcentrate trace amounts of aminophenol isomers (aps) from human urine, hair dye and water samples prior to analysis by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet spectrophotometry detection (hplc-uv). under optimum conditions (i.e., 3.5 µl of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ...

in this study, a sensitive method of dispersive liquid phase microextraction based on ion-pair combined with the flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed for the determination of trace ni(ii) using aliquat 336-chloride as ion pair agent. several factors which have effect on  the microextraction efficiency of ni(ii), such as ph, extraction and dispersive solvent type and their volume, c...

an efficient separation-preconcentration procedure namely hollow fiber solid/liquid phase microextraction (hf-slpme) was developed for determination of trace amounts of palladium in water samples by differential pulse voltammetry. in this method, a hybrid sorbent utilizing functionalized nanoparticles incorporated in an organic solvent was used as the extractor phase. the nanoparticle dis­perse...

There is a huge demand in the production of microstructures by a non-traditional method which is known as Micro-EDM. Micro-EDM process is based on the thermoelectric energy between the workpiece and an electrode. Micro-EDM is a newly developed method to produce micro-parts which in the range of 50 μm -100 μm. Micro-EDM is an efficient machining process for the fabrication of a micro-metal hole ...
