dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction technique based on solidification of a floating organic drop (dllme-sfo) combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed for determination of thallium in water sample. an appropriate mixture of acetone and 1-undecanol was rapidly injected into an aqueous sample containing tlcl4- which forms an ion pair with brilliant green reagent and as...

the lack of authentic standards has limited the quantitative analysis of herbal drugs in biological samples. the present work demonstrated a practicable strategy for the assay of herbs and their metabolites independent of authentic standards. a liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry (lc–esi–ms) method for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the metabolites...

Rhanterium epapposum, native to the Arabian Peninsula, is traditionally used cure skin infections. The objective screen phytochemical content and antimicrobial activity of aqueous, methanol 80% extracts aerial parts R. epapposum. screening methanolic, epapposum was conducted using gas chromatographymass spectrometry. activities were assessed by well diffusion microdilution methods. Qualitative ...

In this study, olive oil residue (OR) biomass was pyrolyzed in the presence of bulk MgO (B-MgO), nano-MgO (N-MgO), ZnO (B-ZnO)), and nano-ZnO (N- ZnO) metal oxides at different temperatures (400, 600, 800 ºC). Significant results were obtained terms synthesis gas formation CO2 reduction. The efficiency distribution products as a result oxide-based pyrolysis process effects examined detail. Nano...

abstract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are classified as persistent and carcinogenic organic pollutants. pahs contamination has been reported in water. many of relevant regulatory bodies such as eu and epa have regulated the limit levels for pahs in drinking water. in this study, 13 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) were determined in tap water samples of tehran and wat...

Partially coalified, structurally intact latex fibers found in a low rank coal were characterized by analytical methods. The latex fibers have a high sulfur content of approximately 10 percent. It has been proposed in previous studies, and it appears to be the case here, that the latex material has been “naturally” vulcanized during the early diagenetic period. Two fossilized latex samples reco...

In this article, selected examples of applications of liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry are given. The examples include the analysis of i) impurities in manufactured, pharmaceutical or synthesis products, ii) polyphenols in natural products, and iii) phytohormones in plant extracts. Finally, examples of applications of molecular characterization via flow injection analysis by e...

Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric disorder affecting 1% of the world’s population. Due to a broad range of symptoms and wide heterogeneity, current therapeutic approaches in schizophrenia fail to treat all symptomatic manifestations of the disease. Therefore, new models that reproduce core pathological features of schizophrenia are needed for the elucidation of unidentified pathological disea...

Chikusaku-eki and Mokusaku-eki are natural resources and acidic liquid by-products of bamboo and broad leaved trees charcoal burner. These products contain more than 200 ingredients, including phenols, poly phenols and acetic acids. These by-products were tested for their fungicidal activity against sapstaining fungi. There are no studies about the antifungal activity of Chikusaku-eki and Mokus...
