He Q., Ren Y., Mohamed I., Ali M., Hassan W., Zeng F. (2013): Assessment of trace and heavy metal distribution by four sequential extraction procedures in a contaminated soil. Soil & Water Res., 8: 71–76. Four sequential extraction procedures (Sposito, Tessier, Silveira and Bureau Communautaire de Reference (BCR)) were used to evaluate the distribution of some metals (Fe, Cu, Cd and Zn) in a co...

A novel stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) procedure termed sequential SBSE was developed. Compared to conventional SBSE, sequential SBSE provides more uniform enrichment over the entire polarity/volatility range for organic pollutants at ultra-trace levels in water. Sequential SBSE consists of a SBSE performed sequentially on a 5-mL sample fi rst without modifi er using one stir bar, then on ...

This article carried out the extraction of sesame oil by using three extraction techniques: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), Soxhlet and sequential extraction. The SFE was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as solvent and ethanol as cosolvent. Tests were performed at 20 MPa, 35°C and a flow rate of 2.5 g CO2/min with a total extraction time of 210 minutes. The Soxhlet ex...

‎second derivative general linear methods (sglms) as an extension‎ ‎of general linear methods (glms) have been introduced to improve‎ ‎the stability and accuracy properties of glms‎. ‎the coefficients of‎ ‎sglms are given by six matrices‎, ‎instead of four matrices for‎ ‎glms‎, ‎which are obtained by solving nonlinear systems of order and‎ ‎usually runge--kutta stability conditions‎. ‎in this p...

Chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood was liquefied with polyethylene glycol/glycerin and sulfuric acid. After liquefaction, most CCA metals (98% As, 92% Cr, and 83% Cu) were removed from liquefied CCA-treated wood by precipitation with calcium hydroxide. The original CCA-treated wood and liquefied CCA-treated wood sludge were fractionated by a modified Community Bureau of Reference (BCR...

As in the foreseeable future a human will be expected to remain as part of the object extraction system, semi-automated road extraction methods are still important. Following this trend, this paper presents a semi-automated method for extracting road segments from mediumand high-resolution images based on active testing and edge analysis. The method is based on two sequential and independent st...

abstractin order to study the changes in chemical forms of zinc in the rhizosphere of two tuber plants and their relationship to plant uptake in a polluted soil, sequential (tessier et al., 1979) and single step extraction methods were used. in this research, three radish cultivars (raphanus sativus) and two turnip (brassica rapa) cultivars were planted in a complete randomized design pot exper...
