A simple, fast and effective pre-concentration method for the determination of Cu (copper) and Ni (nickel) was developed using a Surfactant Assisted Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (SA-DLLME) coupled by UV-Vis spectrophotometry in marine brown algae. The complexing agent was 1- (2- pyridylazo) – 2 - naphthol (PAN).The effects of various experimental parameters in the extraction ste...

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...

The main objective of this contribution is to describe the fundamental concepts associated with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Theory provides insight when developing SPME methods and identifies parameters for rigorous control and optimization. A mathematical model has been developed to understand the principal processes of SPME by applying basic fundamental principles of thermodynamics an...

ABSTRACT. In this paper, effervescence-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method has been developed for the extraction and preconcentration of organochlorine pesticides in water samples before their determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The involves in-situ generation CO2 bubbles to induce dispersion solvent aqueous sample. Different parameters affecting efficien...

A new analytical method based on vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction with back extraction (VALLME-BE) coupled high performance liquid chromatography was developed for the simultaneous determination of antidiabetic drugs; repaglinide, glibenclamide, and glimepiride in water samples. Chromatographic separation achieved using C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm 5 µm) methanol-phosphate buffer (pH3....

exposure to mercury (hg) as a heavy metal can cause health effects. the objective of this study was to assess occupational exposure to hg in a chlor-alkali petrochemical industry in iran by determining of hg concentrations in air, blood and urine samples.the study was performed on 50 exposed subjects and 50 unexposed controls. air samples were collected in the breathing zone of exposed subjects...
