Due to its simplicity, versatility, and straightforward interpretation into absolute concentrations, molecular absorbance detection is widely used in liquid-phase analytical chemistry. Because this method is inherently less sensitive than zero-background techniques such as fluorescence detection, alternative, more sensitive measurement principles are being explored. This review discusses one of...

Microscale roughness on an otherwise smooth hydrophobic surface can significantly reduce the resistance to an external liquid flow. We study static drag reduction over a lubricantinfused surface by looking at an array of two-dimensional transverse grooves partially filled with a second immiscible fluid. Numerical simulations at separate length scales are used to probe the static drag reduction ...

this paper deals with the extraction of l-theanine containing aliquat 336 as a carrier and cyclohexane as solvent across bulk liquid membrane. the optimum operation condition are as follows: extraction time of 150 min, initial concentration of theanine in the feed phase is 1.8 g/l, the carrier concentration is 0.5 m, the ion of the receiving phase is 0.2 m nacl of na2hpo4-nah2po4 buffer solutio...

The synthesis of mesoporous CuFe2O4 spinel by several nanocasting strategies (i.e., multi-step nanocasting, one step nanocasting, modified solid-liquid), in which copper and iron nitrates are used as precursors and Pluronic P123 as surfactant, is explored. We have also checked the effect of pH, citric acid and sodium citrate in multi-step nanocasting method. The modified solid-liquid method whi...

A rapid, simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for determination of ciprofloxacin in plasma by means of ultraviolet detection. Ofloxacin was used as an internal standard and separation carried on a Novapak C18 column using a mobile phase of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH =2.6): methanol (82: 18 v/v). Extraction of drug was performed from plasma by liquid-...

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed to quantitatively determine matrine in liquid crystal nanoparticles. The chromatographic method is carried out using an isocratic system. The mobile phase was composed of methanol-PBS(pH6.8)-triethylamine (50 : 50 : 0.1%) with a flow rate of 1 mL/min with SPD-20A UV/vis detector and the detection wavelength was a...

In this study, a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method using an extraction solvent lighter than water has been developed for the extraction and preconcentration of cholecalciferol and calcifediol from plasma samples followed by high performance liquid chromatography determination. Initially, acetonitrile and sodium chloride (NaCl) are added into the plasma as an extraction solvent and...

The rearrangement process during liquid phase sintering has been generally accepted that driven by the capillary forces between solid grains embedded in liquid. This paper outlines a computer-based method for three-dimensional computer simulation of rearrangement during liquid phase sintering. The theoretical models dealing with the fundamental interaction forces that exist between grains attac...

Two phase gas-liquid flow pattern in a horizontal pipeline is predicted very accurately using a newly-developed analytical relation. The pattern identification is based on one of the most widely used graphs, the Baker diagram, modified in a way that compensates for the unrealistic oversimplifications of recent works. The Kern's method of pressure drop calculation is used to obtain the frict...
