An accurate method based on combination of microwave assisted digestionsuppressed ion chromatography is proposed for the determination of fluoride and chloride in nuclear grade enriched boron (B10). The digestion of the boron matrix is carried out in closed vessel microwave assisted digestion using hydrogen peroxide and dilute nitric acid. By using the microwave assisted approach, the digestion...

The present work deals with comparison of microwave assisted extraction to that of conventional solvent extraction for the extraction of rice bran oil (RBO); focusing on extraction yield and oil composition. Microwave assisted extraction act as a green process over other method and proved that it is effective method for extraction of oil. The investigation also focuses on the study of functiona...

The complete hydrolysis of konjac glucomannan (KGM) with an acid or enzyme generally takes a long time. To accelerate KGM hydrolysis without diminishing the conventional quality, a diluted acid hydrolysis of KGM with sulfuric acid was conducted using a microwave digestion system. The optimum conditions of microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis for KGM were: 10 mL of 0.25 M sulfuric acid, hydrolysis...

Objective: A microwave assisted extraction technique was developed to optimize the extraction of mucilage from the fruits of Trichosenthes dioica plant. Materials and Methods: the plant has been extracted by conventional and microwave assisted methods for the isolation of mucilage. Results and Discussion: Microwave extraction at 320 W intensity and 20 min heating duration, 84.92% increase in th...

Introduction: Fruit polysaccharides, essential health factors in foods, are widely present in edible fruits. Several methods for isolation of polysaccharide are available. Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) method is extensively used for separation of polysaccharides. Only little information is available about Psidium guajava L. Fruit Polysaccharide (PFP) and its extraction methods. Objective:...

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is widely employed in the analysis and the extraction of active compounds from plants. This review summarizes the research done during the last decade on the MAE of active ingredients from plants. Advances and modifications to improve the performance of MAE are presented and discussed in detail. Modified MAE such as vacuum microwave-assisted extraction (VMAE)...

In order to enhance the catalytic performance of SAPO-34 catalyst for the reaction of methanol to olefins (MTO), ultrasonic and microwave-assisted aging method were employed in static hydrothermal method to synthesize nano-sized SAPO-34. The effects of the application of this method on the chemical composition, morphology, surface area and total acidity of SAPO-34 were characterized by XRD, FE-...

the lamiaceae family consists of a broad spectrum of medicinal plants involving marrubium l. genus. regarding the diverse pharmaceutical uses of the plants belonging to this genus, they can be considered as proper alternatives for chemical drugs having harmful effects. the present work aims to identify and characterize chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles from the aerial pa...

Rapid and efficient methods for the synthesis of an important intermediate of benazepril ethyl 3-phthalimido-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1]benzazepin-2-one-1-acetate under the influence of microwave irradiation are described. A comparative study of conventional and microwave assisted method is briefly discussed.
