Vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLME) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is proposed here for the rapid determination of octanol-water partitioning coefficients (Kow). VALLME uses vortex agitation, a mild emulsification procedure, to disperse microvolumes of octanol in the aqueous phase thus increasing the interfacial contact area and ensuring faster par...

Microwave-assisted extraction of pectin from lemon peels by using ionic liquid as alternative solvent was investigated. The extracted pectin was detected by Fourier transform infrared spectra. The extraction conditions were optimized through the different experiments in conjunction with the response surface methodology. A pectin yield of 24.68 % was obtained under the optimal parameters: the ex...

background: cold-induced aggregation micro extraction based (ciame) based on ionic liquid was used as a rapid and simple method for determination trace amounts of cadmium and lead in milk powder by analysis with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas). methods: sample solution containing of cd2+ and pb2+ in dynamic range, phosphate buffer (ph = 9, 3 ml), diethyl dithiocarbamate (complexing ...

A fast and simple method based on ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) was developed for the analysis of volatile compounds in wines. full factorial 24 screening design built to investigate main factors affecting extraction components, namely volume solvent, sonication time, salt content, pH. Then, with significant effects were optimized using an I-optimal design. The opt...

In this research, a Dispersive Liquid-Liquid MicroExtraction (DLLME) method coupled to UV-vis spectrophotometry was developed for the indirect determination of silver ion. The method is based on the catalytic effect of the silver ion on the oxidation of congo red by potassium peroxodisulphate and extraction with DLLME procedure using chloroform (extraction solvent) containing cetyltrimethyl...

2 Introduction An important part of any analytical process is sample preparation, which involves isolation and preconcentration of various analytes of interest.1 Liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) is one of the oldest pretreatment procedures and because of its simplicity and low cost is commonly used. However, conventional LLE requires large volumes of high-purity solvents, which are often expensiv...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants and well-known carcinogens. Hydroxy derivatives of PAH are considered as biomarkers of PAH exposure, and there is a need to measure these metabolites at low concentrations. So, a precise and eco-friendly analytical method has been developed for rapid determination of PAH metabolites. For the first time, a new analyt...

In this study, ionic liquid (IL) supported magnetic dispersive solid-phase microextraction was developed and a systematic investigation was conducted on imidazolium ILs for their extraction performance. This nano-based pretreatment procedure was then applied for the determination of acaricides in fruit juice samples for the first time. A feature of this technique is that the commonly laborious ...

In the present study, antifouling booster biocides, irgarol 1051 and diuron, were measured in seawater and sediments in ports and marinas of Bushehr, Iran. To the best of our knowledge, in the Persian Gulf there is no any record about analysis of these compounds in coastal waters, however there are considerable amount of information about the concentration of antifouling booster biocides in Eur...
