Using pomelo peel for the synthesis of
monolithic ordered mesoporous silica
Monolithic ordered mesoporous
silicas are highly attractive as sorbents in extraction techniques due to their
physicochemical characteristics. To be really effective, there must be a
balance between their macroporous and mesoporous structure. Macropores enhance
the extraction kinetics allowing an easier diffusion of the target compounds
from the bulk samples to the active surface of the material. Mesoporous defines
the active surface of the material....Link to the post
Dynamic electromembrane extraction
The potential of electromembrane
extraction (EME) is beyond any doubt [1]. As you well know, it is based on the
electromigration of the target charged analyte from the donor phase (the
sample) to the aqueous acceptor phase through a polymeric membrane that
physically separates both phases. The extraction is rapid and it provides high
enrichment factors......Link to the post
Bubble-in- drop single drop
microextraction with mixed solvents
The intentional incorporation of air
bubbles to solvent drops enhances the extraction efficiency in single drop
microextraction (SDME). The reason behind this experimental fact is simple: the
air bubble increases the surface to volume ratio of the drop. In other words,
the same organic solvent volume presents a larger surface and therefore a
better extraction kinetics. This idea, which was firstly proposed by
Williams et al. in 2011, [1] has been recently revisited by the same
research group proposing mixed solvents as extractant. Mixed solvents can
present even better extraction properties, due to special....Link to the post
The study of historical documents:
morphine in Bulgakov´s famous manuscript
Mikhail Bulgakov was a recognized
writer born in Kiev in 1891. His famous novel, The master and Margarita,
criticizes the soviet society and the literature establishment. He wrote the
novel by the end of his life. In these days, Bulgakov was suffering nephrosis
that caused his death in 1940. Researchers from Italy and Israel have
chemically evaluated the original manuscript of the novel.....Link to the post
