A film carbon veil-based electrode (FCVE) modified with non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100 (TrX100) has been developed for nitrite determination. A new simple and producible technique of hot lamination (heat sealing) has been used for the FCVE manufacturing. The paper presents the findings of investigating the FCVE and the TrX100/FCVE by using voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Modification of the electrode with TrX100 improves the hydrophilic property of its surface, which results in a larger electrode active area and higher sensitivity. Optimal conditions for nitrite determination with the use of the TrX100/FCVE have been identified. The linear range (LR) and the limit of detection (LOD) are 0.1–100 μM and 0.01 μM, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) does not exceed 2.3%. High selectivity of the sensor ensures its successful application for the analysis of real samples (sausage products and natural water). The obtained results accord well with the results of the standard spectrophotometric method.

The cloud point technique was effectively utilized for extraction and pre-concentration of nickel(II) in urine samples before measurement by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and AAS techniques. The metal response to a para-aminophenol (PAP) reagent in a non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 medium was to form the Ni-PAP complex. The adopted concentration for PAP, concentration of Triton X-114, pH effect and water bath temperature, incubation time, salt effect, and interference effects were all optimized. The calibration curve was linear over the range of (0.0625–1.25) mg L–1 with a correlation coefficient r2 of 0.9682 for the UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a λmax of 629 nm. The limit of detection was 0.005 mg/L. The relative standard deviation for six replicates was 1.07%. This method was applied successfully to determine copper (II) concentrations in 44 urine samples of occupational worker samples as determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and FAAS techniques.

A new, simple, and versatile cloud-point extraction (CPE) methodology has been developed for the separation and preconcentration of cobalt. The cobalt ions in the initial aqueous solution were complexed with 4-Benzylpiperidinedithiocarbamate, and Triton X-114 was added as surfactant. Dilution of the surfactant-rich phase with acidified ethanol was performed after phase separation, and the cobalt content was measured by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The main factors affecting CPE procedure, such as pH, concentration of ligand, amount of Triton X-114, equilibrium temperature, and incubation time were investigated and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) for cobalt was 0.5 μg L-1, with sensitivity enhancement factor (EF) of 67. Calibration curve was linear in the range of 2–150 μg L-1, and relative standard deviation was 3.2% (c=100 μg L-1;n=10). The proposed method was applied to the determination of trace cobalt in real water samples with satisfactory analytical results.

A simple, sensitive, quick, easy and efficient (SSQuEE) analytical technique based on cloud point extraction (CPE) has been developed for the determination of different pesticides present in soil and water with high performance liquid chromatography separation and ultraviolet detection. The environmentally friendliness surfactant like Triton X -100, compared to Tween series of non-ionic surfactant can effectively extract imidacloprid (insecticide), flusilazole (fungicide) and atrazine (herbicide) at cloud point temperature at 67 ºC, 82 ºC and 62 ºC, respectively. To reach the optimum extraction efficiency, different experimental parameters like surfactant concentration, salt type and its concentration, equilibrium time and temperature, pH were observed. At the optimum conditions, linear regression coefficient of the standard curves was greater than 0.9924. The limit of detection of imidacloprid, flusilazole and atrazine were 0.10 μg L-1, 0.24 μg L-1, 0.15 μg L-1 and recovery percent are 99.71 %, 88.1% and 89.74%, respectively.

A simple and high sensitive preconcentration method based on micelle-mediated extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography (LC-UV) was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amounts of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous samples. The BPA was quantitatively extracted from aqueous samples in the presence of Triton X-114 as a nonionic surfactant and preconcentrated into the small volume (about 30 μL) of the surfactant-rich phase. Taguchi method, an orthogonal array design (OA16 (45)), was utilized to optimize the various factors affecting the micellar extraction of BPA. The maximum extraction efficiency of BPA was obtained at pH 3, 0.2% (w/v) Triton X-114, and 0.25 mol L−1 sodium acetate. For the preconcentration, the solutions were incubated in a thermostatic water bath at 50°C for 7 min. After centrifuge and separation of aqueous phase, the surfactant-rich phase was diluted with 100 μL acetone and injected in the chromatographic system. Under the optimum conditions, preconcentration factor of 34.9 was achieved for extraction from 10 mL of sample solution and the relative standard deviation (RSD%) of the method was lower than 6.6%. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.5–150 μg L−1 with reasonable linearity (r2>0.9987). The limit of detection (LOD) based on S/N = 3 was 0.13 μg L−1 for 10 mL sample volumes. The limit of quantification (LOQ) based on S/N = 10 was 0.43 μg L−1 for 10 mL sample volumes. Finally, the applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by the extraction and determination of BPA in the real samples, and satisfactory results were obtained.

A novel near-infrared absorbing colorimetric sensor with multifunctional groups, bis-dibenzo-18-crown-6 squaraine (BCSQ), has been identified and applied for accurate Hg2+analysis based on the decrement of its UV absorbance (A) in the aqueous medium. The proposed method was successfully applied to analyse synthetic Hg2+samples and natural Hg2+samples. The results show that the linear range of Hg2+detection in aqueous medium is 7.5~150×108mol·L1with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9983 and a limit of detection (3σ, n=20) of 5.6 ×109mol·L1. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for Hg2+detection was lower than 2.4% (n=5). The proposed method possesses the advantages of simplicity, rapidity, high selectivity and sensitivity.

<p>A direct spectrofluorimetric method for the quantitative analysis of benomyl in natural waters is described. Benomyl is an instable, fluorescent fungicide that mainly decomposes into carbendazim and n-butyl-isocyanate in organic and aqueous solutions. The kinetics of benomyl solvolysis reactions were investigated in organic solvents (methanol and acetonitrile) and in aqueous solvent systems, including β–cyclodextrin (β-CD), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH), Brij-700, Triton X-100 and water, at different pH and/or NaOH concentrations. The benomyl fluorescence signal was found to be quasi-completely stable in 10<sup>-2</sup> M NaOH aqueous solution, various alkaline (10<sup>-2</sup> M NaOH) organized media, β-CD neutral solution and Triton X-100 aqueous solutions of different pH. Based on these results, a direct spectrofluorimetric analytical method was developed for the determination of benomyl in 10<sup>-2</sup> M NaOH aqueous solution and Triton X-100 solutions (pH7 and 10<sup>-2</sup> M NaOH), with wide linear dynamic range (LDR) values of two to three orders of magnitude, very low limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values of, respectively, 0.002-0.5 ng/mL and 0.007-2.0 ng/mL, and small relative standard deviation (RSD) values of 0.2-1.7 %, according to the medium. This direct spectrofluorimetric method was applied to the evaluation of benomyl residues in natural waters, with satisfactory recovery values (87-94%).</p>

AbstractLiquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and cloud point extraction (CPE) of vanadium(V) ternary complexes with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) and 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolum chloride (TTC) were investigated. The optimal conditions for vanadium extraction and spectrophotometric determination were identified. The composition (V : PAR : TTC) of the extracted species was 1 : 2 : 3 (optimal conditions; LLE), 2 : 2 : 2 (low reagents concentrations; LLE), 1 : 1 : 1 (short heating time; CPE), and 1 : 1 : 1 + 1 : 1 : 0 (optimal extraction conditions; CPE). LLE, performed in the presence of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetic acid and NH4F as masking agents, afforded the sensitive, selective, precise, and inexpensive spectrophotometric determination of vanadium. The absorption maximum, molar absorptivity, limit of detection, and linear working range were 559 nm, 1.95 × 105 dm3 mol−1 cm−1, 0.7 ng cm−3, and 2.2-510 ng cm−3, respectively. The procedure thus developed was applied to the analysis of drinking waters and steels. The relative standard deviations for V(V) determination were below 9.4 % (4-6 × 10−7 mass %; water samples) and 2.12 % (1-3 mass %; steel samples).

Reversed phase-HPLC with fluorescence detection of two major capsaicinoids was described. Isocratic elution using a ratio of methanol and deionized water (66:34, v/v) as mobile phase was used at a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min with well achieved separation within 6 min. Under optimum conditions, their analytical figures of merit for the HPLC method were validated. The linearity was in the range of 1.0-25.0 μg/mL with multiple determination coefficients of higher than 0.995. The limit of detection was ranged of 0.008-0.01 μg/mL. The repeatability and reproducibility of the retention time and peak area for these compounds were in good precision with their relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 1% and 5%, respectively. Both capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin were extracted using an accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) of methanol as an extraction solvent for 5 min static time with 3 cycles. The methanolic extracts were subjected to clean up with C18solid-phase extraction (SPE) with its recoveries ranking of 90.2-98.0%. The method recoveries of real samples were found to be 60.7-98.6%. The optimized extraction method were applied for the determination of the two capsaicinoids in ten vareities of hot chilli pepper samples. Total contents of capsaicinoids were found in the range of 2,307.0-9047.3 μg/g DW with their corresponding Scoville heat unit (SHU) of 34,600-135,700. Additionally, the contents of capsaicinoids using external calibration method comparing with those of standard addition were not significantly different, indicating accuracy of the method. Mostly, the contents of capsaicin found in these real samples were rather higher than those of dihydrocapsaicin.

The extractions of two anionic dyes viz. nigrosin and aniline blue by cloud point extraction method using mixed micelles of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and Triton X-114 were conducted. To get the greatest extraction efficiency, pH of the solution, surfactant concentration, concentration of electrolyte, equilibrium temperature and time were optimized. A linear calibration curve in the range of 0.567-9.07 mg/L (nigrosin) and 0.982-19.645 mg/L (aniline blue) was obtained. Limit of detection were found to be 2.45 ng/L and 2.008 ng/L for nigrosin and aniline blue dyes, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters were also calculated to establish the feasibility of the process. This method was then used to determine the dyes in tap and sea water samples. The extraction efficiency was explained in terms of dye surfactant interaction as shown by observed spectral changes between anionic dye and cationic surfactant followed by solubilization of the complex in non-ionic surfactant.
