Extraction and Pre-concentration of Phthalic Acid Esters from Aqueous Solutions using Agitation-assisted Dispersed Binary Solvents Microextraction

Phthalic acid esters--an overview.

In recent years those in the scientific community concerned with environmental and public health have been called upon to consider two categories of previously unsuspected materials characterized by wide distribution and long persistence in the environment: mercury, especially organic mercury, and the chlorinated diphenyls (PCBs). To a significant extent this conference presents again the same ...

Effect of Ethanol Concentration in Ultrasound Assisted Extraction of Glycyrrhizic Acid from Licorice Root

Gas-chromatographic detection of phthalic acid esters.

Each second, the rivers of the world add 109 kg of fresh water to the oceans, and with this water comes tremendous quantities of salts, clay minerals, and other suspended solids. Although the Amazon River makes the largest contribution of fresh water to the sea, its waters are relatively uncontaminated. On the other hand, the Mississippi River, the third largest river, which delivers only about...

Diffusion of phthalic acid esters from PVC milk tubing.

At the beginning of our work on diffusion processes in PVC tubing used in milk collection it was observed that plastic tubes which have been used for extended periods lose their originally smooth inner surface (1). In spite of careful maintenance, fine tears arise, forming a network on the inside which is in contact with milk, water, and cleaning solution (Fig. 1).

Separation of Formic Acid from Aqueous Solutions by Liquid Extraction Technique at Different Temperatures

In this study, the separation of formic acid from aqueous solutions was investigated. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data including tie-lines was reported for water + formic acid + 2-methylpropyl ethanoate ternary mixture at (293.15 to 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The system shows type-I phase behavior based on Treybal’s classification because only one partially miscible binary mixture ...
