Abstract Background Brilliant blue (BB) and tartrazine (TZ) are manufactured from petroleum and its products. These are the most popular consumed food dyes and are widely used in foodstuffs. Therefore, overuse of these dyes in foodstuffs and consumption of excessive amounts of these dyes can lead to health problems in humans. Objective The aim of this study was to develop a simple separation and preconcentration method for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of BB and TZ dyes. Methods A column solid-phase separation extraction method combined with UV-Vis spectrophotometry was preferred and developed for single and simultaneous determination of BB and TZ dyes. Results The preconcentration factor was obtained as 80. Relative standard deviations were below than 4%. Detection limits of the method were determined as 0.29 and 1.21 µg/L for BB and TZ, respectively. Recovery values were obtained between 95–99% and 96–100% for BB and TZ, respectively. 10.9–235.7 µg/g and 1.7–8.0 µg/mL of BB contents of real samples were determined for solid and liquid samples, respectively. TZ concentrations of solid and liquid samples were ranged between 18.7–220.7 µg/g and 5.9–7.5 µg/mL, respectively. Conclusions Quantitative extraction results and satisfactory recovery values showed that method was successful and applicable for determination of BB and TZ concentrations in real pharmaceutical, industrial, and foodstuff samples. Highlights The method has exhibited a high preconcentration factor and effective separation against to matrix ions. The method did not need an experienced operator with high operation experience. Elution solvent can be chosen according to the availability of the chemicals in the laboratory and cheapness of the chemicals.

A novel preconcentration/separation method for simultaneous sorption-spectrophotometric determination of anionic food dyes Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine is proposed. The method is based on preconcentration of the dyes using solid phase extraction on a cartridge filled with silica chemically modified with C16 groups from aqueous solution at pH 1 followed by elution with water/acetonitrile mixture containing 2 mmol·L−1 KH2PO4 adjusted to pH 3 with a step gradient of acetonitrile content. This elution allows quantitative separation of the dyes which makes their individual spectrophotometric determination possible. The detection limits for Tartrazine and Sunset Yellow are 0.15 and 0.11 μg·mL−1 and the linearity range is 2–20 μg·mL−1. The method is applied for analysis of beverages. The recovery of dyes is higher than 97% at the relative standard deviation not exceeding 10%.

AbstractA simple, fast and environmental friendly vortex assisted-supramolecular solvent based microextraction (VA-SSME) method was developed for the preconcetration of triclosan in wastewater prior to UV spectrophotometric determination. To achieve maximum sensitivity and accuracy for the target analyte, the experimental parameters affecting the VA-SSME procedure were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Under optimised conditions, the correlation coefficient (R2) and recoveries were 0.9994 and 100.31-118.5%, respectively. The intra-day (repeatability) and inter-day (reproducibility) precisions expressed in terms of relative standard deviation (RSD) were 2-4% and 5.2%, respectively. The preconcentration factor and limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were found to be 90, 0.28 μg L−1 and 0.92 μg L−1, respectively. The developed VA-SSME/UV method was applied for the determination of triclosan in real samples collected over a period of three months. The analytical results obtained showed that triclosan was frequently detected in influent wastewater samples but was not detected in effluent samples.

A simple and sensitive solid-phase extraction method for separation and preconcentration of trace amount of four nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, and ibuprofen) using Fe3O4magnetic nanoparticles modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide has been developed. For this purpose, the surface ofMNPswas modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a cationic surfactant. Effects of different parameters influencing the extraction efficiency of drugs including the pH, amount of salt, shaking time, eluent type, the volume of solvent, amount of adsorbent, sample volume, and the time of desorption were investigated and optimized. Methanol has been used as desorption solvent and the extracts were analysed on a reversed-phase octadecyl silica column using 0.02 M phosphate-buffer (pH = 6.02) acetonitrile (65 : 35 v/v) as the mobile phase and the effluents were measured at 202 nm with ultraviolet detector. The relative standard deviation (RSD%) of the method was investigated at three concentrations (25, 50, and 200 ng/mL) and was in the range of 3.98–9.83%(n=6)for 50 ng/mL. The calibration curves obtained for studied drugs show reasonable linearity(R2>0.99)and the limit of detection(LODs)ranged between 2 and 7 ng/mL. Finally, the proposed method has been effectively employed in extraction and determination of the drugs in biological and environmental samples.

AbstractThe potential of modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (a solid-phase extraction sorbent), for the simultaneous separation and preconcentration of lead, cadmium and nickel; has been investigated. Lead, cadmium and nickel, were adsorbed quantitatively; on modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (in the pH range of 2–4). Parameters influencing, the simultaneous preconcentration of Pb(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions (such as pH of the sample, sample and eluent flow rate, type and volume of elution solution and interfering ions), have been examined and optimized. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the detection limits of this method. for Pb(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions, were 0.32, 0.17 and 0.04 ng mL−1 in original solution, respectively. Seven replicate determinations, of a mixture of 2.0 μg mL−1 lead and nickel, and 1.0 μg mL−1 cadmium; gave a mean absorbance of 0.074, 0.151 and 0.310, with relative standard deviation 1.7%, 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively. The method has been applied, to the determination of trace amounts of lead, cadmium and nickel; in biological and water samples, with satisfactory results.

A simple solid phase extraction procedure has been proposed for determination of Au(III) based on separation and preconcentration using magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The influences of experimental parameters including sample pH, sorbent mass, contact time, volume and type of eluent, and interference of some ions with extraction of Au(III) ions were investigated using batch procedure. The maximum adsorption capacity of the sorbent for Au(III) was found to be 45.0 mg g-1. The sorption of Au(III) ions was quantitative in the pH range of 4.0–5.0 and quantitative desorption was achieved using 10 mL of thiourea (0.5 mol L-1)/hydrochloric acid (1 mol L-1) solution. In the initial solution, the calibration curve was linear in the range of 8.8 - 666.0 μg L-1 with R2 = 0.9994 (n = 8), the detection limit (3Sb, n = 8) was 6.2 μg L-1, relative standard deviation (R.S.D) of 20 μg mL-1 of Au(III) was 3.9% (n = 8), and the preconcentration factor was 30. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of Au(III) in water and wastewater samples with good recoveries in the range of 95% –103%.

Background: Cadmium (Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) have acute and chronic effects on humans and other living organisms. In the present work, new, green and accurate dispersive micro solid-phase extraction (DμSPE) method for the separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium (Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions in various food, water and tobacco samples collected from Saudi Arabia prior to its Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometric (FAAS) determinations was developed. Methods: The proposed method was based on a combination of oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) with a new chelating agent 5-benzyl-4-[4-methoxybenzylideneamino)-4H- 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (BMBATT) to enrich and separate trace levels of Cd2+ and Pb2+. The effect of separation parameters was investigated. The validation of the proposed preconcentration procedure was performed using certified reference materials. Results: Analyte recovery values ranged from 95-102%, indicating that the method is highly accurate. Furthermore, precision was demonstrated by the relative standard deviation (RSD < 3.0%). The limits of detection were 0.08 and 0.1 μg L−1 for Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions, respectively. The preconcentration factor was 200. Conclusion: The proposed method was used for the estimation of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ion content in various real samples, and satisfactory results were obtained. The proposed method has high adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption equilibrium, extremely low LODs, high preconcentration factors and shortens the time of sample preparation in comparison to classical SPE.

The polarographic behavior of 3-nitrofluoranthene was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a dropping mercury electrode, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV), both at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for its determination by the given methods in the concentration ranges of 1 × 10-6-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DCTP), 1 × 10-7-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DPP), 1 × 10-8-1 × 10-6 mol l-1 (DPV) and 1 × 10-9-1 × 10-7 mol l-1 (AdSV), respectively. Practical applicability of these techniques was demonstrated on the determination of 3-nitrofluoranthene in drinking and river water after its preliminary separation and preconcentration using liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction with the limits of determination 4 × 10-10 mol l-1 (drinking water) and 2 × 10-9 mol l-1 (river water).
