Background: The present study was carried out with the aim of extracting trace amounts of zinc in urine samples with ultrasound-assisted emulsification solidified floating organic drop micro-extraction (USAE-SFODME) method by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The efficiency was investigated using the solvent extraction volume, extraction pH, time sonication and temperature extraction...

pb and cd in water samples were determined by cloud point extraction (cpe) with sodiumdiethyldithiocarbamate (ddtc) as the chelating agent and octylphenoxypolyethanl (triton x-114) asthe surfactant prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas) determination. the main factorsof affecting the extraction and detection processes were optimized. the preconcentration of 10 ml ofstandard soluti...

A solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure was presented for the preconcentration of copper, nickel and cobalt using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified by methyl-(2-pyridyl) ketone oxime (MPKO, as a new complexing agent) as a solid sorbent prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS). Some analytical parameters including pH, sample volume, concentration ...

BACKGROUND Prepared sprouts, after culturing in a medium with an increased iron concentration, could become a beneficial food iron fortificant. However, the efficient iron accumulation depends on the plants genus, species and/or varieties. The aim of the study was to indicate the seeds or grains which accumulate iron most efficiently during the sprouting process. METHODS Alfalfa, lentil, lupi...

Sodium aluminosilicate scaling in evaporators during alkali recovery is often associated with the concentration of aluminum and silicon in black liquor. The scaling problems are widespread during the utilization of nonwood raw materials. This study established a fast, reliable, and precise method to determine the aluminum concentration in bamboo black liquor by inductively coupled plasma-atomic...

Hydrophobic task specific ionic liquid (TSIL) functionalized 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) was synthesized and characterized by NMR and HRMS. The capability of TSIL-MBT for the selective separation and preconcentration of Cd(2+), which was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) from water and food samples, was investigated. The TSIL-MBT with high selectivity for the extractio...

Um sistema em fluxo acoplado a espectrômetro de absorção atômica com chama (FIA-FAAS) foi desenvolvido para determinação de taninos em amostras de feijão guandu, explorando a reação de precipitação entre os taninos e proteínas. Extratos obtidos pela sonicação das amostras com solução de metanol 50% (v/v), foram introduzidos no sistema e induzidos à reação com hemoglobina, sendo o precipitado pr...

A simple and sensitive solid phase extraction utilizing C18 filled cartridges incorporated with dithizone for preconcentration of lead and its subsequent determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was developed. Several parameters such as type, concentration and volume of eluent, pH of the sample solution, flow rate of extraction and volume of the sample were evaluated. The ef...
