A new method based on extraction induced by emulsion breaking for determination of Co and Ni in chocolate bars by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.

This paper describes a new experimental configuration of extraction induced by emulsion breaking method to extract and determine Ni and Co in chocolate bars by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. At optimized conditions, the sample (0.08 g) was mixed with 4 mL of extractant solution (4% m/v Triton X-100 and 10% v/v HNO) in a plastic syringe to form a solid-oil-water emulsion.

Multiple anthropogenic influences in the Pará River (Amazonia, Brazil): A spatial-temporal ecotoxicological monitoring in abiotic and biotic compartments.

The mineral wealth of the Amazon region is prone to intense exploration with consequent metals mobilization in ecosystems. Besides that, a number of other anthropogenic activities contribute to the imbalance of this important environment. The Pará River is an important water body in the Amazon basin and is under multiple anthropogenic influences, including disorderly urbanization, port activities and processing of minerals such as bauxite and kaolin.

Silver nano/microparticle toxicity in the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931).

The effects of silver nano/microparticles (AgP) on juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp were evaluated through several responses, aiming to use it as a prophylactic and therapeutic method. Shrimps (3.19 ± 0.

Distribution of metals in different environmental compartments and oxidative stress biomarkers in Bryconops caudomaculatus (Osteichthyes: Characiformes) from a bauxite mining area in the Eastern Amazon.

The Eastern Amazon is rich in bauxite ore. The extraction and processing of bauxite lead to the mobilization of Aluminum (Al) and other metals in environmental. We evaluated the metals (Al, Mn, Ba, and Cr) concentration in tissue, water, and sediment associated with antioxidant and oxidative damage responses in Bryconops caudomaculatus.

Extraction Induced by Emulsion and Microemulsion Breaking for Metal Determination by Spectrometric Methods - A Review.

This review focuses on extraction induced by the destabilization of emulsified systems combined with spectrometric techniques for metal analysis in oily samples. This approach is based on the formation and breaking of an emulsion (extraction induced by emulsion breaking - EIEB) or microemulsion (extraction induced by microemulsion breaking - EIMB) to transfer the analytes from the oil sample to the aqueous phase, which is separated in the process. Its simplicity, speed, and low cost have contributed to its growing popularity among researchers.

Extraction induced by emulsion breaking to assay Cr, Cu and Mn in asphalt samples by high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry and its comparison with other sample preparation methods.

This paper reports the development of a method based on the extraction induced by emulsion breaking (EIEB) for the determination of Cr, Cu and Mn in asphalt by high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry. In optimized conditions, the extraction efficiency ranged from 88.6 for Cu to 104.

Collection of polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles from asphalt fumes and quantification by an HPLC-DAD method.

A chromatographic method is described for the separation and quantification of polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASHs) using liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (DAD). The PASHs that were investigated in this study were chosen based on their similarity in molecular weight, volatility and polarity of their PAH analogues. The chromatographic separation of the compounds was optimized, and their analytical characteristics were evaluated.

Simultaneous determination of Ba, Co, Fe, and Ni in nuts by high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry after extraction induced by solid-oil-water emulsion breaking.

This paper describes the simultaneous determination of Ba, Co, Fe, and Ni in nuts by high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry after extraction induced by solid-oil-water emulsion breaking. Extraction yields ranged from 94.9 for Ba to 109.

Simultaneous determination of iron and nickel as contaminants in multimineral and multivitamin supplements by solid sampling HR-CS GF AAS.

A methodology to assay simultaneously iron and nickel present as contaminants in multimineral and multivitamin supplements was investigated. High-resolution continuum source graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and direct solid sample analysis were used. Measurements were done with the secondary lines of Fe (352.

Simultaneous determination of cobalt and nickel in vitamin B12 samples using high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry.

Nickel and cobalt were simultaneously assayed in vitamin B12 formulations by using atomic spectrometry. The proposed method is based on a compromise between the proximity of specific Ni and Co spectral lines and the relative abundances of the analytes in the samples. The analytes were found in concentrations ranging from 9.
