Natural products are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives through their use in industry, food, as therapeutic agents, etc. To evaluate possible applications, it is essential to characterize them chemically explore potential. Different techniques may be used natural products, including microextraction techniques. These have been gaining popularity due the advantages associated with low ...

Mercury (Hg) causes hazardous cumulative effects in humans; like central nervous system disorders,hypertension and chromosomal aberrations. Therefore, due to high toxicity and bioaccumulationfactor, mercury determination and speciation in human blood is very important. A sensitive,accurate, precise and inexpensive method was demonstrated for preconcentration and speciationof ultra-trace mercury...

a simple method has been developed for the preconcentration of copper(ii) based on the adsorption of its modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber. modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber (panf) was prepared by adding of acrylic fibers to msethanolamine (mma) with different concentration solutions. the stability of a chemically modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber especially in concentrated hydrochl...

Extensive preparation of samples before chromatographic analysis is usually the most time-consuming process in the determination of many organic compounds in environmental matrices. In the past, removal of some organic8 from aqueous ,mlution was commonly done by liquid/liquid extraction. However, the introduction of stable, covalently bonded reversed-phase sorbents now allows efficient removal ...

This article reviews the recent developments in Bio-Analytical sample preparation techniques and gives an update on basic principles, Applications and comparative discussion on the advantages and limitations of each technique. Conventional Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE), Molecularly Imprinted Polymer SPE techniques are have been considered as methods of past. Developments in SPE techniques such a...

Solid-liquid extraction is carried out from vegetable substrates in industrial continuous counter-current extractor. A batch study was conducted to obtain the extraction kinetic and the bulk phase saturation. An extraction model is proposed and compared with experimental data. This model is based on the general diffusion model including a shape factor of solid particle. A methodology for the ba...
