This review describes the role of wood extractives, especially fatty and resin acids, in papermaking, as well as the importance of their removal from process waters. One of the main aims is also to illustrate versatile analysis methods for this purpose and highlight recent developments in corresponding applications. Most of the current methods require timeconsuming and laborious sample pretreat...

The data presented in this article describe the fatty acid composition of chow, liver tissue and isolated liver mitochondria from mice fed for 6-24 weeks with a high caloric western diet (WD) in comparison to control diet (normal diet, ND). The fatty acid composition was measured via gas chromatography flame ionization detection (GC-FID). Moreover, WD-induced mitochondrial protein changes are p...

Subcritical water extraction (SWE) of essential oil from Matricaria Chamomilla L.  (M. Chamomilla L.) was performed and compared with conventional method including hydro distillation. The percentage of main extracted components of different temperatures (100, 125, 150 and 175 oc) and water flow rates (1, 2 and 4 ml/min) were investigated at 20 bar pressure and 0.50 mm mean particle size in SWE....

Abstract In this work, Fe3O4-graphene oxide nanocomposite (GO-Fe3O4) was prepared as effective absorbent for magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) of trace quantities of cadmium ions in environmental water and rice samples using 1, 2-dihydroxy anthraquinone-3-sulphonic acid, sodium salt (Alizarin red S) and flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The   GO-Fe3O4 was characterized by scanni...

In this study, a new sorbent of chemically-modified activated carbon with L-arginine (AC-Arg) has been produced as solid-phase extraction, to trace Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions in real samples, including soil and water samples, by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS). Once the surface coverage value is determined, the surface modification has been investigated and assessed, while having em...

Arapid, highly sensitive and efficient flotation/magnetic stirring-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry has been proposed for the preconcentration and quantitative analysis of trace amounts of cadmium (II) in the presence of sodium diethyldithiocarbamateas complexingagent. Parameters including sample pH, concentration of the complexingagent, ...

Hydrodeoxygenated pyrolysis oils (HDO) are considered promising renewable liquid energy carriers. To gain insights in the various reaction pathways taking place during the hydrodeoxygenation reaction of pyrolysis oil, two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometric analyses (2D-GC-TOF-MS) was applied on the feedstock and product oil. Chromatographic parameters like inj...

a simple and reproducible method for the rapid extraction and determination of trace amounts of copper(ii) ions using octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks modified by 1-(2-pyridyl azo)2-naphtol(pan) and atomic absorption spectrometry was presented. the method was based on complex formation on the surface of the envi-18 disk tm disks followed by stripping of the retained species by minimum amo...

In this thesis, thermal-diffusive instabilities are studied experimentally in diffusion flames. The novel species injector of a recently developed research burner, consisting of an array of hypodermic needles, which allows to produce quasi one-dimensional unstrained diffusion flames has been improved. It is used in a new symmetric design with fuel and oxidizer injected through needle arrays whi...

Sampling strategy All dust samples were taken in offices, laboratories and instrument assembly rooms of the Thermo Scientific Bremen factory site. The samples were collected according to an established protocol [4]. Shortly, in offices 1 m2 of carpet was vacuumed for 2 min and in case of bare floors 4 m2 was vacuumed for 4 min. Samples were collected using nylon sample socks (25 μm pore size) t...
