A method for the determination of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water using portable gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was developed. A novel sample preparation method, liquid–liquid microextraction assisted solid phase microextraction (LLME–SPME), is introduced. In this method, 20 μL of hexane was added to 10 mL of TCE contaminated aqueous samples to assist headspace SPME. The extracti...

The review of the RP HPLC analysis of basic psychotropic drugs is presented. It contains sample preparation methods with centrifugation, protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), solid-phase extraction (SPE), solid-phase microextraction (SPME), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and RP-HPLC analysis. Chromatographic behavior of bas...

BACKGROUND This research focused on the effects of low electric current (μE)-assisted sonic agitation of sodium hypochlorite on Enterococcus faecalis infected human root dentin. METHODS Extracted human canine roots were instrumented, sterilized, and experimentally contaminated with E. faecalis. After incubation for 21 days, the presence of the biofilm was confirmed by scanning electron micros...

This work describes the development of an HPLC-FLD methodology for separation five fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, sarafloxacin, norfloxacin and levofloxacin) followed by optimization DLLME process clean-up preconcentration enrofloxacin in samples seawater river water. The mobile phase used chromatographic consisted methanol: phosphate buffer (NaHPO4 H2O 0.04 M pH 3 with H3PO4 85...

background and objectives: colocynthin is the major active secondary metabolite of colocynth, citrullus colocynthis (l.) schrad, which has been used in traditional and ethno medicine of many countries.  it could be considered as an active marker for quality control of colocynth and its herbal products. analysis and standardization of colocynth and its herbal preparations are a critical issue fo...

C/SiC composite material is the best choice for important parts such as hot-end structure of aerospace vehicles. Research and optimization cutting force ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding are great significance when it comes to revealing machining mechanism composites realizing low-damage efficient machining. In this paper, comparative experimental study common carried out; variation laws r...

Ultrasonic energy is used for applying severe plastic deformation on metal surfaces. In the present work, the effect of ultrasonic vibration on the formability, microhardness and microstructural proper...

Ultrasonic energy was applied to assist the wood vacuum drying process. At a drying temperature of 60°C, the absolute pressure was either 0.05 MPa or 0.08 MPa; the ultrasonic power and frequency were 100 W and 28 kHz, respectively. The results showed that the effective water diffusivity of the specimens dried by the ultrasonic assisted vacuum drying at 0.05 MPa or 0.08 MPa were higher than that...

Vortex-assisted surfactant-enhanced emulsification microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop (VASEME-SFO) was used for preconcentration and speciation of antimony (ΙΙΙ, V) followed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). In this procedure, Triton X-114 was used as emulsifier and 1-undecanol was used as extraction solvent. This method is based on the comp...
