Metal ion recognition by proton-ionizable calixarenes is often affected by interference from the Na present in many aqueous solutions. To assess the Na-effect on calixarene selectivity towards alkaline earth metal cations (AEMC), competitive solvent extraction of Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba from aqueous solutions into chloroform by di-ionizable calix[4]arene N(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)carboxamides and co...

In this article cloud-point extraction (CPE) was used with chelating agent to extract uranium from aqueous solutions. The methodology used is based on the formation of metal complexes soluble in a micellar phase of surfactant. The metal ions complexes are then extracted into the surfactant-rich phase at a temperature above the cloud-point temperature. The effect of type of surfactants and ligan...

The use of N-11-octylaniline in xylene for extraction of palladium(II) from salicylate media is studied. The extraction system is studied as a function of equilibration time, diluent, pH, metal and extractant concentrations. Experimental data have been analyzed graphically to determine the stoichiometry of extracted species. It was found that palladium(II) was extracted into the organic phase b...

or high light extraction inorganic LEDs (fl ip-chip with metallic high refl ectivemirror). [ 10 ] All current methods for good contrast uses the methods that absorb the ambient light (e.g., circular polarizers, light absorbing layers, destructive-interference buffer layers, and low light refl ection black cathode) [ 22–24,26–34 ] but also degrade the light extraction substantially. The light ex...

The objective of the present investigation is to examine okara, a suitable substrate for polyphenol extraction, and to develop a feasible eco-friendly process to maximize the yield of antioxidant phenolics. Box-Behnken design (BBD) based on response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the effect of temperature (°C), solvent fraction (%) and incubation time (min) on polyphenol ...

CONSPECTUS: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted much attention in the past decade. They offer high specific surface area, as well as electronic structure and properties that differ from their bulk counterparts due to the low dimensionality. Graphene is the best known and the most studied 2D material, but metal oxides and hydroxides (including clays), dichalcogenides, boron nitride (BN...

Chromium is an important constituent widely used in different industrial processes for production of various synthetic materials. For evaluation of workers' exposure to trace toxic metal of Cr (III), environmental and biological monitoring are essential processes, in which, preparation of samples is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone aspects prior to analysis. The use of solid-phase...

leaching of molybdenite concentrate with hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid solution was investigated to determine the effects of reaction time, reaction temperature, h2o2 concentration, h2so4 concentration, pulp density and rotation speed on molybdenum extraction and molybdenite dissolution kinetics, using the taguchi method. from analysis of variance (anova) for molybdenum extraction, the mos...
