In this study, eight hydrophobic supramolecular (SUPRA) solvents composed of tetrabutylammonium chloride and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide as amphiphiles four perfluorinated compounds (hexafluoroisopropanol, trifluoroacetic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid heptafluorobutyric acid) coacervation-inducing agents were developed. The SUPRA phase volumes determined a function individual concentr...

In this research, a Dispersive Liquid-Liquid MicroExtraction (DLLME) method coupled to UV-vis spectrophotometry was developed for the indirect determination of silver ion. The method is based on the catalytic effect of the silver ion on the oxidation of congo red by potassium peroxodisulphate and extraction with DLLME procedure using chloroform (extraction solvent) containing cetyltrimethyl...

The widespread use of silver compounds and silvercontaining procedures in industry, medicine, jewellery, cloud seeding and in disinfection of drinking water has resulted in an increasing silver content in environmental samples. Silver impregnated filters are used in water disinfection, while silver concentrations up to 200 μg L are permitted for antimicrobial activities for human health. Silver...
