We describe a simple and efficient method for solid phase extraction and speciation of trace quantities of arsenic. It is based on the use of functionalized aluminum oxide nanoparticles and does not require any oxidation or reduction steps. The experimental parameters affecting extraction and quantitation were optimized using fractional factorial design methods. Adsorbed arsenic was eluted from the sorbent with 1 M hydrochloric acid and determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Preconcentration factors up to 750 were achieved depending on the sample volume. Studies on potential interferences by various anions and cations showed the method to be highly selective. Under optimum conditions, the calibration plots are linear in the 5.0 to 280 ng L−1 and 8.0 to 260 ng L−1 concentration ranges for As(III) and total arsenic, respectively. The detection limits (calculated for S/N ratios of 3) are 1.81 and 1.97 ng L−1 for As(III) and total arsenic, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination and speciation of arsenic in (spiked) environmental, food and biological samples and gave good recoveries. The method was validated using a certified geological reference material.
Novel functionalized Al2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized and used for speciation and determination of arsenic in different samples. The experimental variables were optimized using fractional factorial design that can save time and operational costs.
5-Fluorouracil (5FU) is in clinical use as an antitumor agent for the treatment of several types of solid tumors and cancers. However, development of drug resistance within the tumor cells and side effects has been a major limitation for the clinical use of 5FU. Preparation polymer-5FU conjugation is a promising potential antitumor drug and alternative pathway that could be used to treatment of cancer. For this purpose, water soluble poly(maleic anhydride-alt-N-vinyl pyrrolidone)[Poly(MA-alt-NVP)] is synthesized via charge transfer complex (CTC) copolymerization with benzoyl peroxide as an initiator at 80°C under nitrogen atmosphere. CTC mechanism is formed between through MA and NVP by determined using Uv-vis spectroscopy. Molar absorption coefficient (?AD) and equilibrium constant (KAD) of the complex are determined by Scott equation. The results obtained from indicate that copolymerization of MA:NVP system is preceded via alternating mechanism. The compositions of synthesized copolymers are also investigated by elemental analysis and the reactivity ratios of these monomers are calculated by using the elemental analysis data through Kelen-Tüdös, Mayo-Lewis, Fineman-Ross and Inverted Fineman-Ross equations. For preparation of polymer-drug conjugate, chemical modification is employed between the copolymer and 5FU. Polymer-drug conjugate and conjugation mechanism are enlightened by ATR-FTIR, NMR, HR-Raman and XRD methods. 相似文献
An ultrasound assisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) is successfully used for extraction and determination of trace amount of iron in water and tea samples, followed by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS). In this approach, a new synthetic ligand dimetyl (E)‐2‐[(Z)‐1‐acetyl)‐2‐hydroxy‐1‐propenyl]‐2‐butenedioate (DAHPB) is used as chelating agent and chloroform is selected as an extraction solvent. The factors influencing the complex formation and extraction by USAEME method are optimized. These factors are extraction solvent type as well as extraction volume, time, temperature, pH, and the amount of chelating agent. Under optimum conditions, an enrichment factor of 202.9 is obtained from only 7.1 mL of aqueous phase. The calibration graph using the preconcentration system for iron is linear between 40.0 and 800.0 μg L?1 with a detection limit of 7.4 μg L?1. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D) for ten replicate measurements of 500.0 μg L?1 of iron is 2.5%. 相似文献
Ions undergoing a reaction-diffusion process are susceptible to electric field. We show that a constant external field may induce a kind of instability on the state stabilized by diffusion in a reaction-diffusion system giving rise to formation of pattern even when the diffusion coefficients of the reactants are equal. The origin of the pattern is due to the difference in mobilities of the two species and is thus markedly different from that of deformed Turing pattern in presence of the field. While this differential flow instability had been shown earlier to result in traveling waves, we realize in the context of stationary pattern formation in a typical reaction-diffusion-advective system. Our analysis is based on a numerical simulation of a generic model on a two-dimensional domain. 相似文献
The period of a curve is the smallest positive degree of Galois-invariant divisor classes. The index is the smallest positive degree of rational divisors. We construct examples of genus one curves with prescribed period and index over a given global field, as long as the characteristic of the field does not divide the period. 相似文献
A green and sensitive dispersive liquid-phase microextraction procedure based on room-temperature ionic liquid (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) for preconcentration and determination of total iron in real samples prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. 2-Mercaptopyridine-N-oxide (pyrithione) and ethanol were used as complexing agent and dispersive solvent in the proposed method, respectively. The factors influencing the extraction were optimized. Under optimum conditions, the enhancement factor of 15 was obtained from only 11.35 mL of aqueous phase. The linear dynamic range and the detection limit were 10.0–700 and 2.4 μg L?1, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for ten replicate measurements of 500 μg L?1 of iron is 3.1 %. The developed method has been successfully applied for the determination of iron in water samples, human blood serum and rock certified reference material with high efficiency. 相似文献
A two-dimensional analytical model is developed to describe the free extensional vibrations of thin elastic plates of elliptical planform with or without a confocal cutout under general elastically restrained edge conditions, based on the Navier displacement equation of motion for a state of plane stress. The model has been simplified by invoking the Helmholtz decomposition theorem, and the method of separation of variables in elliptic coordinates is used to solve the resulting uncoupled governing equations in terms of products of (even and odd) angular and radial Mathieu functions. Extensive numerical results are presented in an orderly fashion for the first three anti-symmetric/symmetric natural frequencies of elliptical plates of selected geometries under different combinations of classical (clamped and free) and flexible boundary conditions. Also, the occurrences of “frequency veering” between various modes of the same symmetry group and interchange of the associated mode shapes in the veering region are noted and discussed. Moreover, selected 2D deformed mode shapes are presented in vivid graphical form. The accuracy of solutions is checked through appropriate convergence studies, and the validity of results is established with the aid of a commercial finite element package as well as by comparison with the data in the existing literature. The set of data reported herein is believed to be the first rigorous attempt to obtain the in-plane vibration frequencies of solid and annular thin elastic elliptical plates for a wide range of plate eccentricities. 相似文献
The presented study investigates the application of MnO2/3MgO nanocomposite, as a new sorbent for solid phase extraction and determination of trace amounts of Pb2+ and Cu2+ from various samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. After extraction, the analytes were desorbed using 0.01 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The effects of various parameters were studied and optimized. Under optimized experimental conditions the linear dynamic ranges for Cu2+ and Pb2+ were 10?900 and 30?900 μg/L, respectively, with a preconcentration factor of 20. The detection limits of Cu2+ and Pb2+ were 4 and 11 μg/L, respectively, and relative standard deviations for eight determinations of 100 μg/L were 3.6 and 3.8% for Cu2+ and Pb2+, respectively. The method was successfully applied for determination of copper and lead in mushrooms, rice, tap water and refinery wastewater with good spike recoveries ranging between 95?106%. 相似文献
