A simple, accurate and fast vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction procedure has been developed for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of niflumic acid in biological samples. The method is based on the formation of an ion association complex between niflumic acid and methylene blue. The resulting ion-pair was extracted into dichloromethane and its absorbance was m...

Arapid, highly sensitive and efficient flotation/magnetic stirring-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry has been proposed for the preconcentration and quantitative analysis of trace amounts of cadmium (II) in the presence of sodium diethyldithiocarbamateas complexingagent. Parameters including sample pH, concentration of the complexingagent, ...

a method based on the ultrasound-assisted solidification of floating drop microextraction technique was developed for the spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric determination of curcumin in turmeric powder. in this work a small volume of an organic solvent was floated on the surface of an aqueous solution. after sonication the organic solvent is solidified and separated. the effect of extra...

This study investigates dry machining of hypereutectic silicon–aluminum alloys assisted with vortex-tube (VT) cooling. The objective is to reduce cutting temperatures and tool wear by enhanced heat dissipation through the chilled air generated by a VT. A machining experiment, cutting mechanics analysis, and temperature simulations are employed to (1) model the heat transfer of a cutting tool sy...

Extraction and determination of naproxen from human plasma were performed using Vortex-Assisted Inverted Dispersive Liquid-Liquid MicroExtraction (VA−IDLLME) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The parameters affecting extraction recovery such as type and volume of extraction and disperser solvents, pH of sample solution, stirring rate, extraction time and salt addition were ...

Direct analysis of samples, regardless their origin, is desirable although for the majority of cases unfeasible on account of the complexity of the sample matrix, inadequate concentration of the target analytes, or even incompatibility with the detector. In these cases, a sample pretreatment step is required for interference removal and analytes separation/preconcentration. Despite valuable adv...

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...
