Xylose is a promising feedstock for the fuel and chemical industry. We propose here an integrated process to recover purify xylose from acidic hydrolysate stream, e.g., coming pretreated lignocellulose. This consists of selectively extracting as diboronate ester back-extracting it into clean aqueous solution. report 85% extraction efficiency using toluene/phenyl boronic acid in single stage. sh...

A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Ni2+ in water samples. In this paper, Dioctylphthalate (DOP) was used to encapsulate nano-Fe3O4 and produce a nano-Fe3O4-DOP sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. This was treated with ethylenediamine (ED) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a novel nano-Fe3O4-DOP-ED. Flame atomi...

Titanium (Ti) is the ninth most abundant element on earth. The titanium mineral ores are widely distributed in different parts of the world. The two main ores of titanium include rutile (TiO2) and ilmenite (FeO.TiO2). It is aimed to provide the readers with an insight to the main processes currently employed to extract and recover titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) from different titanium ores. Due...

2-(3- indolyl) – 4,5 di phynyl imidazole.(IDPI) was used as a complexing agent in cloud point extraction for the first time and applied for selective pre-concentration of trace amounts of cadmium. The method is based on the extraction of cadmium at pH= 7.0 by using non-ionic surfactant Triton-X114 and 2-(3- indolyl) – 4,5 di phynyl imidazole. (IDPI) as a chelating agent. The adopted concentrati...

A simple, rapid and sensitive method was developed for the selective separation and preconcentration of Ni(II) using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, by a yellow Schiff's base bisazanyl derivative, as a selective complexing agent. In this method, a mixture of 45 μL chloroform (extraction solvent) and 450 μL tetrahydrofuran (dispersive solvent) is rapidly injected by syringe into a 5 mL...

aqueous two-phase systems (atps) have  emerged as a powerful extraction method for the downstream processing of bio-molecules. the aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of utilizing atps for the separation of recombinant bacillus sphaericus phenylalanine dehydrogenase (phedh). polyethylene glycol (peg) and ammonium sulfate systems were selected for our experiment. the effect of di...
