this study aims to inspect the performance of the wastewater treatment system of the pars oil refinery. quantity and quality of wastewater are determined through samplings and measurements. the performance of system is evaluated considering total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, phosphate, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, furfural, oil and ph. for pr...

Third phase formation in the extraction of Pu(IV) nitrate by 30% tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) dissolved in n-dodecane or in the highly branched diluent hydrogenated polypropylene tetramer (HPT), which may also be known as 4,4 dipropyl Received 22 June 2005, Accepted 31 October 2005 The views expressed are solely those of the authors and no official support or endorsement of this publication by t...

The use of veterinary drugs may cause the presence of residues in food of animal origin if appropriate withdrawal periods are not respected. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the simultaneous detection of 11 benzimidazole residues, including metabolites – albendazole, albendazole sulphoxide, albendazole sulphone, fenbendazole, fenbendazole sulphoxide ...

Four new complexes were prepared by the metathetic reaction of trace heavy metals like Cd, Zn, Cu and Hg with two different dithioligands of the formula ML 2 [ M= Cd, Zn, Cu and Hg and L= potassium-1,1-dicyano-2,2-ethylenedithiolate and potassium N-4-fluorobenzyl, N butyldithiocarbamate ] and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-visible, 1H,13C NMR and AAS. Atomic Absorption Spectrophoto...

The extraction of rare earth elements (REEs) from nitric acid solution with a triphosphine trioxide (TPO) is presented. Performances of such a ligand in ionic liquids vs. a classical solvent (benzyl ether) are compared. TPO seems to be 10 to 100 times more efficient when it is dissolved in ionic media whatever the concentration of nitric acid involved. Mechanistic investigations reveal that cat...

Abstract In this study, microfunnel-supported liquid-phase microextraction method (MF-LPME) was optimized and applied for the determination of some chlorophenoxyacetic acids (CPAAs) from natural water samples. The extraction was performed with 540 μL toluene which was retained at the surface of the sample solution using an upside down microfunnel. After the extraction, toluene was moved in...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction is evaluated as a simpler and more effective alternative to conventional extraction methods for the extraction of bioactive compounds from natural product. This study investigated the use of ultrasound-assisted extraction to extract three dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans, including tracheloside, hemislienoside, and arctiin from Hemistepta lyrata. Factors such as extr...

Asphaltene precipitation is traditionally modeled using polymer solution theories or cubic equations of state. We propose another approach based on artificial neural network technique to model onset of precipitation of dissolved asphaltene in the solution of solvent + precipitant. A mathematical model based on feed-forward artificial neural network technique, which takes advantage of a modified...

This preliminary study presents a new method for the determination of dissolved gases in sea-water. After headspace extraction, gaseous compounds are separated by GC on a dual column adsorption system. The individual species are thereafter eluted to three different detectors (thermal conductivity, flame ionization and FPD) using a second switching valve. The analysis is quantitative for methane...
