analytical chemistry has experienced, as well as other areas of science, a big change due to the needs and opportunities provided by analytical nanoscience and nanotechnology. now, nanotechnology is increasingly proving to be a powerful ally of analytical chemistry to achieve its objectives, and to simplify analytical processes. moreover, the information needs arising from the growing nanotechn...

background and objectives: the addition of plasticizers (mainly phthalates and adipates) makes plastic flexible and popular for packaging, storing and preserving food, water, and so on. the most widely used plasticizer in food contact applications is di-ethylhexyl phthalate (dehp) though being suspected to have carcinogenic and estrogenic properties. the aim of this study is application of magn...

a novel, magnetic silica sorbent with polyelectrolyte multilayers (pems) on its surface was prepared, and was used for magnetic solid phase extraction (mspe) of trace a+ via flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas). the experimental parameters for the mspe procedure, such as the ph, type, and concentration of eluent, ultrasonic time and effects of co-existing ions were investigated. the dete...

a new method for the separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium in food and water samples by magnetic solid phase extraction (mspe) with fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles (fe3o4-mnps) and its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry has been developed. for this purpose, fe3o4-mnps were synthesized via chemical precipitation method. the extraction of cadmium ions from th...

a simple and sensitive, solid-phase extraction method for the removal of citalopram drug from waste water has been developed by using magnetic nanoparticles modified with surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. these magnetic nanoparticles have shown great adsorptive tendency towards citalopram drug. the effect of different parameters influencing the extraction efficiency of this drug were investiga...

this paper reports on synthesis of a magnetic adsorbent for wastewater treatment purposes. in this regard, platanus orientalis waste leaves were chosen as a cheap material for preparing the magnetic adsorbent by loading magnetite nanoparticles on it. the synthesized adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffractometer. then, it was used for magnetic solid phas...

a chelating resin is prepared by condensation polymerization of aniline with formaldehyde andcharacterized by ft-ir, elemental analysis and studied for the preconcentration and determination of traceplatinum ion from environmental water sample using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(icp-aes). the optimum ph value for sorption of the metal ions was 5. the maximum adsorption...

styrene is an important constituent of widely used organic solvents in industries for production of various synthetic materials. the use of solid-phase extraction (spe) has grown and is a fertile technique of sample preparation as it provides better results than those produced by liquidliquid extraction. in this study, spe has been optimized, regarding sample ph, sample concentration, sample fl...

a simple and sensitive method has been developed for the preconcentration and determination of trace level of co(ii) using uv-vis spectrophotometry. β-cyclodextrin polymer modified with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (pan) is used for the preconcentration of co(ii) from samples at ph 8.5. the polymer is synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, ft-ir and sem analysis. the factors aff...

Magnetic nanoparticles separation technology is a method for quick and easy extraction biomolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA. The present work describes total RNA isolation procedure from transformed rose petals in our laboratory using magnetic nanoparticles as a solid phase absorbant. Petals are the main sources of secondary metabolites, i.e. carotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids and phen...
