Abstract—Heavy metals are released into water, plants, soil, and food by natural and human activities. Lead has toxic roles in the human body and may cause serious problems even in low concentrations, since it may have several adverse effects on human. Therefore, determination of lead in different samples is an important procedure in the studies of environmental pollution. In this work, an ultr...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of phenolic compounds from Inula helenium was studied. Effects of ethanol concentration, ultrasonic time, solid-liquid ratio, and number of extractions were investigated. An orthogonal array was constructed to optimize UAE process. The optimized extraction conditions were as follows: ethanol concentration, 30%; solid-liquid ratio, 1 : 20; number of extractio...

In order to combat a variety of pests, pesticides are widely used in fruits. Several extraction procedures (liquid extraction, single drop microextraction, microwave-assisted extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, matrix solid-phase dispersion, and stir bar sorptive extraction) have been reported to determi...

In the present study, an ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction based on solidification floating organic drop method is described for preconcentration of trace amounts of Mn (II). 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5 diethylaminophenol was added to a solution of Mn(+2) at ph = 10.0. After this, 1-undecanol was added to the solution as an extraction solvent, and solution was stirred. Several f...

Ultrasound operators in assisted reproductive technology units in New South Wales, Australia cooperated in a study that was conducted to assess their ability to measure fixed objects embedded in an ultrasound phantom. The results have demonstrated a large variation ranging between 10 and 25% coefficient of variation on distances between 10 and 32 mm. As ultrasonic imaging is the only component ...

The effect of ultrasonic vibration on the springback and surface property for ultrasonic-assisted incremental sheet forming aluminum alloy were discussed. A series experiments established to explore symmetrical in order facilitate analysis experimental results. It is obtained that application can reduce effect. waviness feature becomes weaker with continuous increase amplitude topography tends ...

Ultrasonic-assisted green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is gaining more attention owing to its benefits over conventional process. The main objective this study was synthesize with aqueous cinnamon extract using ultrasound-assisted extraction and their physico-chemical characterization. Total phenolic content, DPPH, FRAP were 315 mg GAE/g, 89% scavenging activity 9.5 mmol Trolox eq/100 g re...
