Textile industry effluents contain reactive dyes that may harm our receiving waters. A typical reactive blue (RB) 19 dye is frequently detected in significant concentrations in textile industry effluents. Such dyes have generally shown resistance to decomposition and tend to persist in the environment for long periods and multiply the impacts to water and environment. Therefore, the present inv...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of phenolic compounds from Inula helenium was studied. Effects of ethanol concentration, ultrasonic time, solid-liquid ratio, and number of extractions were investigated. An orthogonal array was constructed to optimize UAE process. The optimized extraction conditions were as follows: ethanol concentration, 30%; solid-liquid ratio, 1 : 20; number of extractio...

Kinetic modeling and optimization of musk willow (Salix aegyptiaca L.) essential oil extraction process using ultrasound assisted hydrodistillation

Ultrasound operators in assisted reproductive technology units in New South Wales, Australia cooperated in a study that was conducted to assess their ability to measure fixed objects embedded in an ultrasound phantom. The results have demonstrated a large variation ranging between 10 and 25% coefficient of variation on distances between 10 and 32 mm. As ultrasonic imaging is the only component ...

The use of ultrasound is a new method to enhance convection drying. However, there little information in the literature on improvement convective heat transfer caused by ultrasound. Therefore, transport during ultrasound-assisted heating small samples hybrid dryer was experimentally examined. A Biot number regime considered. results confirmed great enhancement due application Due ultrasound, ex...

Anthocyanins are present in blackberries and can be used the food industry as visual indicators that allow understanding color variations related to quality of a food. The purpose this study was evaluated castilla blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth) wild adenotrichos) were assessed considering type raw material; fresh lyophilized (22°C, 4.3 mbar, 7 days), pretreatment with microwaves (2450 MHz, 30...

A simple, accurate and fast vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction procedure has been developed for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of niflumic acid in biological samples. The method is based on the formation of an ion association complex between niflumic acid and methylene blue. The resulting ion-pair was extracted into dichloromethane and its absorbance was m...

Arapid, highly sensitive and efficient flotation/magnetic stirring-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry has been proposed for the preconcentration and quantitative analysis of trace amounts of cadmium (II) in the presence of sodium diethyldithiocarbamateas complexingagent. Parameters including sample pH, concentration of the complexingagent, ...
