A green and efficient ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted in-situ solvent formationmicroextraction (IL-UA-ISFME) in combination with high-performance liquid chromatographyultravioletdetection (HPLC-UV) has been successfully developed for the trace determination offive selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental water samples. In thismethod, a hydrophobic ionic liquid (1...

43 Solidified floating organic drop micro-extraction (SFODME) for simultaneous separation/pre-concentration and determination of cadmium by atomic absorption spectroscopy R. Parviz, M. Honari Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Islamic Azad University Shahr-E-Rey Branch, Shahr-E-Rey, Iran Department of Plant Breading and Biotechnology, Agriculture and Natural Resources Faculty, Tehran ...

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...

A method for the determination of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water using portable gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was developed. A novel sample preparation method, liquid–liquid microextraction assisted solid phase microextraction (LLME–SPME), is introduced. In this method, 20 μL of hexane was added to 10 mL of TCE contaminated aqueous samples to assist headspace SPME. The extracti...

A selective and simple method for separation and preconcentration of zinc ions was developed by using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. Parameters that have an effect on the microextraction efficiency such as volume of extraction and disperser solvent, extraction time, and adding salt were investigated. Under optimum conditions, a preconcentration factor of 250 was obtained. The limit o...

Multiple length-scale effects are demonstrated in indentation-strength measurements of a range of ceramic materials under inert and reactive conditions. Meso-scale effects associated with flaw disruption by lateral cracking at large indentation loads are shown to increase strengths above the ideal indentation response. Micro-scale effects associated with toughening by microstructural restraints...

The analytical use of ultrasound-generated emulsations has recently found a growing interest to improve efficiency in liquid-liquid microextraction since they increase the mass transfer between the two immiscible phases implied and leads to emulsification. Thus, dispersed droplets can act as efficient liquid-liquid microextraction in continuous phase, and later they can be readily separated by ...

The requirement to monitor the chemical quality of water has become one of the major issues in environmental analytics. Ionmobility spectrometry (IMS), a fast, sensitive method traditionally used in security and military applications, is also suitable for environmental analysis and detection of organic pollutants from aqueous matrices, when combined with advantageous methods to isolate analytes...
