Acacia nilotica (Thorn mimosa) is used locally for various medicinal purposes by traditionalists and herbalists in northeastern Nigeria. Plants products have been used since ancient times in the management of various conditions. The bark of A. nilotica has been reported to be used traditionally to manage diabetes, dysentery, leprosy, ulcers, cancers, tumor of the eye, ear and ...

Silica gel modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was anchored with resacetophenone to prepare a new chelating surface (or matrix). It was characterized with cross polarization magic angle spinning C NMR spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy and used for the separation and preconcentration of Cu(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Cd(II), Zn(II) and ...

A new and simple method followed by atomic absorption spectrometry has been developedfor indirect determination of ascorbic acid (AA). The proposed method was based on the oxidationof AA to dehydroascorbic acid with Cu2+cation(200mgL-1)in an ammonium thiocyanatesolution atpH2.4. AA reduces Cu2+to Cu+followed by the precipitation of Cu+ with SCN-. Then, the excess ofCu2+in the solution was measu...

Atomic absorption spectroscopy Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was developed in the early 1950’s by Alan Walsh. It works on the principle that certain elements absorb certain wavelengths, and this level of absorption is characteristic of each element. Also, electrons in atoms can only exist in particular energy levels, and when an electron moves to a higher energy level, electromagnetic ra...

a number of researches have been performed in the field of elemental analysis of fruitsfrom different areas of iran and there is a vast unstudied area in this field. in this study, seven mineral elements such as na, k, ca, mg, fe, zn and cu in the tree soil, citrus limunum juice of gorgan and iranshahr gardens and citrus limetta juice of gorgan and bandarabas gardens were determined by flame ph...

extraction of trace amounts of toxic heavy metals from complicated environmental matrixes is a  challenging task. the aim of this investigation is the comparison of the extraction efficiencies and other related experimental variables ( chemicals, effect of ph, potential interfering ions) on the determination of inorganic lead ( ) which is present in waste water of dye industries. compared techn...

the application of sulfur nanoparticles as an efficient adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction and determination of the trace amounts of pb and pd ions was investigated in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. effects of various parameters such as ph, flow rate of sample and eluent, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent and interferin...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of co(ii) in water samples is presented. isocyanate treated graphite oxides (igos) solid phase extraction adsorbent was synthesized by covalently isocyanate onto the surfaces of graphite oxides. the stability of a chemically (igos) especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid which was then used as a re...

In this project by the use of cilicagel as Sorbent for preconcentration of traces of Cu and Zn considered by Solid Phase Extraction prior to determination by flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). In this method 4,2 Pyridilazo resorsinol (PAR) as a complexing agent For copper and zinc ion after adsorbed in cilicagel and after that eluted by 5 ml of nitric Acid (3M). Some effective Paramet...
