background and objectives: furfural (f) and hydroxymethyl furfural (hmf) are cyclic aldehydes, which are formed during the heat processing of foods. these chemical contaminants have received much attention due to their suspected health hazards and heat damage indicators. the aim of the present study was extraction and determination of f and hmf in baby-foods using dispersive liquid-liquid micro...

water contamination due to the wide variety of pesticides used in agriculture is a global environmental pollution problem. in order to reach at sub-î¼gl-1 levels of detection, an efficient extraction technique is required. a simple, fast and economical method, dispersive liquid-liquid micro extraction (dllme), followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was assessed for determining endosul...

a very simple, rapid and sensitive dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (dllme) followed by gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (gc-fid) was developed for the determination of phenol and carvacrol in honey samples. a mixture of 100 µl dichloromethane (extraction solvent) and 0.5 ml acetonitrile (disperser solvent) was rapidly injected into sample solution. thereby a cloudy sol...

an efficient dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction using tetraalkylammonium bromide coated silver nanoparticles (dllme-agnps) prepared in chloroform has been successfully applied as electrostatic affinity probes to the microextraction and preconcentration of terazosin prior to spectrofluorimetry analysis. this technique is based on a ternary system of solvents, where appropriate amount of mi...

recently, 6-(2-naphthyl)-2, 3-dihydro-as-triazine-3-thione (ndtt) was synthesized in laboratory and used successfully for the spectrophotometric determination of nanogram levels of cu2+ in aqueous solution. this reagent forms a specific red complex with cu2+ ions after the extraction by chloroform at alkaline ph. the absorption of the complex in the uv region (313 nm) is about 8 times as strong...

a simple and rapid microextraction procedure based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (dllme) was developed for determination and speciation of trace amounts of chromium (cr) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas). in the proposed approach, chloroform and methanol were used as extraction and dispersive solvents. a new schiff's base ligand, bis(2-methoxy benzaldehyde) ethylene d...

phase inversion in liquid-liquid dispersions corresponds to the transitional boundary between oil-in-aqueous dispersion and aqueous-in-oil dispersion. a theoretical model based on simple assumptions was proposed to predict phase inversion point, ambivalence region and the hysteresis effect of inversion. experimental data from the literature were used to validate the model and results were compa...
