The possibility of applying headspace solvent microextraction (HSME) for determination of mononitrotoluenes (MNTs) in waste water samples is demonstrated. A drop of n-amyl alcohol containing naphthalene as an internal standard was suspended from the tip of a microsyringe needle over the headspace of stirred sample solutions for a predescribed extraction period. The drop was then injected directly into a gas chromatograph. Optimization of experimental parameters such as the nature of extracting solvent, microdrop and sample volumes, sampling temperature, stirring rate, ionic strength of the solution, pH and extraction time on HSME efficiency were investigated. Then enrichment factor, dynamic linear range (DLR), limit of detection (LOD) and precision of the method were evaluated by water samples spiked with MNTs. Finally, the method was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of the mononitrotoluenes in waste waters of both P.C.I. Company and Research Center of Azad University. 相似文献
Structural modification of curcumin represents a strategy to improve its stability, water solubility, pharmaceutical properties and bioactivity. In this context, numerous structural analogues of curcumin, including curcuminoids, have been developed. In this paper, the precise density functional theory computations were used for investigating the electronic and geometrical structure of curcumin and some of its derivatives. The chemical activity of the considered molecules was investigated with the help of the global softness and hardness concepts. Among the studied molecules, bisdemethoxycurcumin had the most chemical activity and hexahydrocurcumin had the most stable structure. Among two isomers of the curcumin, the enol isomer was found to be active. 相似文献
Fine powder of Typha latifolia L. root was used for adsorption of copper and zinc ions from buffered and nonbuffered aqueous solutions. The adsorption reached equilibrium in 60 min. During this time, more than 90 % of the adsorption process was completed. The effect of initial pH, initial concentration of metal ion, and contact time was investigated in a batch system at room temperature. The optimum adsorption performance was observed at pH 5.00 and 4.25 for nonbuffered solutions of Cu(II) and Zn(II), respectively, while for buffered solutions it occurred at pH 6.00. The total metal uptake decreased on application of ammonium acetate buffer, from 37.35 to 17.00 mg g?1 and 28.80 to 9.90 mg g?1 for Cu(II) and Zn(II) solutions, respectively, with 100 mg L?1 initial concentration. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion, and Elovich models were used to describe the adsorption kinetics. The experimental data followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The biosorption equilibrium was well described by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. 相似文献
We report a continuous-wave, doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on the nonlinear material periodically poled KTiOPO(4) and its application to spectroscopy. The OPO, which is pumped by a diode-pumped frequency-doubled Nd:YLF laser at 523 nm, has a low pump-power threshold of 25 mW and can deliver 10 mW of single-frequency output at 1.65 mum for a pump power of 200 mW. The idler wavelength can be temperature tuned at a rate of 0.73 nm/( degrees )C , and smooth tuning of the output frequency over ~3 GHz is achieved by smooth tuning of the pump laser. We demonstrate the practicality of the OPO by recording the absorption spectrum of methane near 1649 nm. 相似文献
We report the observation of second-harmonic generation by type I quasi phase matching in a GaAs-AlAs superlattice waveguide. Quasi phase matching was achieved through modulation of the nonlinear coefficient chi((2))(zxy), which we realized by periodically tuning the superlattice bandgap. Second-harmonic generation was demonstrated for fundamental wavelengths from 1480 to 1520 nm, from the third-order gratings with periods from 10.5 to 12.4microm . The second-harmonic signal spectra demonstrated narrowing owing to the finite bandwidth of the quasi-phase-matching grating. An average power of ~110 nW was obtained for the second harmonic by use of an average launched pump power of ?2.3mW . 相似文献
In this study, a simple, rapid, and highly efficient liquid-phase microextraction method based on solidification of floating organic droplet was coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-photo diode array detection (HPLC-PDA) for determination of ketoconazole, clotrimazole, and miconazole as antifungal drugs. Central composite design (CCD) was used for optimization of several factors affecting the extraction efficiency. The optimized conditions were established to be 550 rpm for stirring rate, 35 min for extraction time, 57 °C for extraction temperature, 8.5 for solution pH, 10 μl for organic solvent volume, and 7% (w/v) of NaCl for ionic strength. Limit of detections (LODs) of the extraction method ranged from 0.01 to 0.1 μg L−1 and the linear dynamic ranges (LDRs) ranged from 0.1 to 300 μg L−1 for the three antifungal drugs. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the proposed method were 5-11%. Preconcentration factors in the range of 306-1350 were obtained at extraction time of 35 min. Finally, performance of the proposed method was evaluated for the extraction and determination of the drugs’ levels in microgram per liter in samples and satisfactory results were obtained. 相似文献
This work describes a novel polyaniline-magnetite nanocomposite and its application to the preconcentration of Cr(VI) anions. The material was obtained by oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of magnetite nanoparticles. The parameters affecting preconcentration were optimized by a Box-Behnken design through response surface methodology. Extraction time, amount of magnetic sorbent and pH value were selected as the main factors affecting sorption. The sorption capacity of the sorbent for Cr(VI) is 54 mg g−1. The type, volume and concentration of the eluents, and the elution time were selected as main factors in the optimization study of the elution step. Following sorption and elution, the Cr(VI) ions were reacted with diphenylcarbazide, and the resulting dye was quantified by HPLC with optical detection at 546 nm. The limit of detection is 0.1 μg L−1, and all the relative standard deviations are <6.3 %. The nanocomposite was successfully applied to the rapid extraction and determination of trace quantities of Cr(VI) ions in spiked water samples.

Carrier-mediated three-phase hollow fiber microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultra violet detection (HPLC-UV) was applied for the extraction and determination of propylthiouracil in biological samples. Propylthiouracil (PTU) was extracted from 7.5 mL of the basic solution (the source phase) with pH 12 into an organic phase (n-octanol containing 6% (w/v) of Aliquat 336 as the carrier) impregnated in the pores of a hollow fiber, and finally was back extracted into 24 μL of the acidic solution located inside the lumen of the hollow fiber (the receiving phase). The extraction was performed through the gradient of counter ion from the source to the receiving phase. The effects of different variables on the extraction efficiency were studied simultaneously using an experimental design. A half-fractional factorial design was employed for screening to determine the variables significantly affecting the extraction efficiency. Then, the factors with significant effect were optimized using a central composite design (CCD) and the response surface equations were developed. The optimal experimental conditions obtained from this statistical evaluation included: source phase, pH 12; temperature, 25 °C; extraction time, 40 min; counter ion concentration, 2 mol L−1 of NaClO4; organic solvent 6% of Aliquat in octanol and without salt addition in the source phase. Under the optimized conditions, the preconcentration factors were between 125 and 198 and also the limit of detections (LODs) ranged from 0.1 μg L−1 to 0.4 μg L−1 in different biological samples. The calibration curve was linear (r2 = 0.998) in the concentration range of 0.5-1000 μg L−1. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method was successfully confirmed by extraction and determination of PTU in human plasma and urine as well as the bovine milk and meat samples in microgram per liter, and suitable results were obtained (RSDs < 6.3%). 相似文献
