background: determination of organic pollutants usually requires extraction of the pollutants from samples, using hazard­ous solvent. solid phase micro-extraction (spme) is a solvent-free equilibrium extraction method, in which, proper calibra­tion can allow quantitative measurements of organic pollutants at a very good sensitivity without the use of any organic sol­vent. because individual voc...

extraction of trace amounts of toxic heavy metals from complicated environmental matrixes is a  challenging task. the aim of this investigation is the comparison of the extraction efficiencies and other related experimental variables ( chemicals, effect of ph, potential interfering ions) on the determination of inorganic lead ( ) which is present in waste water of dye industries. compared techn...

A higher yield of glycoalkaloids was recovered from potato peels using pressurized liquid extraction (1.92 mg/g dried potato peels) compared to conventional solid-liquid extraction (0.981 mg/g dried potato peels). Response surface methodology deduced the optimal temperature and extracting solvent (methanol) for the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) of glycoalkaloids as 80 °C in 89% methanol. ...

The use of liquid-liquid extraction for the separation of tantalum from niobium was demonstrated. Tantalum and niobium spectrographically free of each other were prepared in quantity on a continuous basis.

With a microfluidic droplet-based liquid/liquid extraction setup, we demonstrate that the extraction of an ionic analyte from complex matrices can be modulated by the interfacial Galvani potential difference and the extraction equilibrium follows the classical Nernst equation.
