Separation of amino acid enantiomers using supported liquid membrane extraction with chiral phosphates and phosphonates

1999

A series of dialkyl and monoalkyl phosphates, phosphites and phosphinates based on (−)-menthol and (−)-nopol were synthesized and used as carriers for transport of aromatic amino acids through supported liquid membranes. Although all the compounds were found to be effective carriers (with transport rate dependent on their structure) the enantioselectivity of the process obtained was low or moderate. Aromatic amino acids were enantioselectively transported through supported liquid membranes containing chiral phosphates, phosphites and phosphinates as carriers. Download full-size image

Distribution of volatile organic compounds in Sicilian groundwaters analysed by head space-solid phase micro extraction coupled with gas chromatograp…

2008

This work presents the results of an assessment of the existence and concentration of 13 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwaters from 14 hydrological basins in Sicily (25,710km (2)). On the basis of hydrological, hydrogeochemical and geological studies, 324 sampling points were selected. All groundwater sampled were collected twice, from October to December 2004 and from February to May 2005, and were analysed to determine the concentration and spatial distribution of the VOCs in the aquifers. The need to analyze a large number of samples in a short space of time so as to obtain quantitative analyses in trace concentration levels spurred us to create a new analytical method, both …

Abstract. Here we present a sensitive method to analyze lignin oxidation products (LOPs) in speleothems and cave drip water to provide a new tool for paleo-vegetation reconstruction. Speleothems are valuable climate archives. However, compared to other terrestrial climate archives, such as lake sediments, speleothems contain very little organic matter. Therefore, very few studies on organic biomarkers in speleothems are available. Our new sensitive method allows us to use LOPs as vegetation biomarkers in speleothems. Our method consists of acid digestion of the speleothem sample followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) of the organic matter. The extracted polymeric lignin is degraded in a m…

CMPO-substituted calix[6]- and calix[8]arene extractants for the separation of An3+/Ln3+ from radioactive waste

2006

Abstract Three calix[6]arene derivatives ( 1a – c ) and two calix[8]arene derivatives ( 2a , b ), with six and eight CMPO residues, respectively, attached to the narrow/lower rim via ether links, were synthesised. Preliminary liquid–liquid extraction studies for Eu(III) and Am(III) from aqueous nitric acid to o -nitrophenylhexyl ether reveal remarkable properties with respect to efficiency and selectivity, especially for the tert -butylcalix[6]arene derivative with a –(CH 2 ) 3 – spacer.

ChemInform Abstract: Chemical Compounds and Toxicological Assessments of Drinking Water Stored in Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottles: A Source …

2012

A declaration of conformity according to European regulation No. 10/2011 is required to ensure the safety of plastic materials in contact with foodstuffs. This regulation established a positive list of substances that are authorized for use in plastic materials. Some compounds are subject to restrictions and/or specifications according to their toxicological data. Despite this, the analysis of PET reveals some non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) produced by authorized initial reactants and additives. Genotoxic and estrogenic activities in PET-bottled water have been reported. Chemical mixtures in bottled water have been suggested as the source of these toxicological effects. Furthermo…

Calix Crowns Derived from para-Bridged Calix[4]arenes

2000

Two calix[4]arenes, bridged by aliphatic chains of five and eight carbon atoms spanning two opposite para positions, have been converted into their 1,3-crown ether derivatives by reaction with tetraethylene and pentaethylene glycol ditosylates. Of the two possible 1,3-crown derivatives, only the formation of those isomers is observed in which the phenolic units connected at the para positions are etherified. This has been established in one case by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Preliminary results for the extraction of selected alkali and alkaline-earth metals are reported.

New Glass Capillary Gas-Chromatographic Methods for Metabolites in Urine and Serum

1981

The analytical system suggested in this paper is a further development of pre-chromatographic methods and of column switching techniques described in previous papers1,2,3.In order to use modern gas-chromatographic techniques for the determination of metabolites in urine and serum quick and reliable pre-chromatographic methods for extraction, concentration and derivatization must be developed which give final (dosage) volumes of 5 to 10 μl with starting sample volumes of 0.1 ml of urine or 5 ml of serum as described by Dunges4.

Bestimmung von Tri-n-butylphosphat in Plasmapräparaten nach Festphasenextraktion und Kapillar-Gaschromatographie

1988

A simple method for the quantitative determination of tri-n-butylphosphate in blood plasma preparations is described. The sample is passed through an octadecyl extraction column from which tri-n-butylphosphate is eluted with chloroform. By capillary GC 50 micrograms/l tri-n-butylphosphate can be detected with a recovery of more than 90%.

Determination of Homovanillic Acid in Human Plasma Using HPLC with Electrochemical Detection and Automated Solid Phase Extraction

1993

Abstract An isocratic HPLC method with electrochemical detection for the quantification of homovanillic acid (HVA) is described. The method included automated solid phase extraction on C-18-reversed phase material, followed by separation on a 3-μm Nucleosil 100 C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm I. D.) with a 100 mM citric acid solution (pH 6.6) containing 4% acetonitrile (v/v) as eluent at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min. Isovanillinic acid served as internal standard. Extractability of both analytes was ca. 80 %. After extraction of 1 ml of plasma, coefficients of variation of replicate analyses were below 10 % in the naturally occuring concentration range.

Determination of aminoglycoside and macrolide antibiotics in meat by pressurized liquid extraction and LC-ESI-MS

2010

A simple method for the simultaneous determination of dihydrostreptomycin, spectinomycin, spiramycin, streptomycin, tilmicosin, and tylosin in meat has been developed using pressurized liquid extraction and LC-triple quadrupole MS (LC-ESI-MS/MS). The pressurized liquid extraction operational parameters were optimized and no protein precipitating and fat removing steps were required. A gradient HPLC separation was developed with ion-pair mobile phases consisting of aqueous 1 mM heptafluorobutyric acid water and methanol. Protonated molecules were used as precursor ions for CID. Data acquisition under MS/MS was achieved by applying multiple reaction monitoring of three fragment ion transition…
