On the liquid-liquid extraction using 1,2-dichloroethane as an organic solvent, the crowned spirobenzopyrans exhibited textractability in the following order: Li+ >> Na+ > K+ > or = tetramethylammonium ion (TMA+), Li+ > Na+ >> K+ > TMA+, and Na+ > K+ >> Li+ > TMA+ for spirobenzopyran derivatives bearing monoaza-12-crown-4, 1; monoaza-15-crown-5, 2; and monoaza-18-crown-6, 3; respectively, under dark conditions. The ion selectivity of 1 depends on the metal-ion complexing ability of monoaza-12-crown-4. Even 2, which carries a 15-crown-5 moiety, showed Li+ selectivity because of the much stronger interaction of Li+ with the phenolate ion of the merocyanine form of 2 than that of Na+. The Na+ selectivity of 3 is also attributed to the ionic interaction with the phenolate ion of the merocyanine form, since the ionic interaction prefers Na+ to K+ regardless of the higher affinity of the 18-crown-6 ring itself to the latter ion. The Li+ extraction into the organic phase with 1 was enhanced by UV irradiation (300-400 nm), while some depression in the extraction was found by visible irradiation (>500 nm). The effect of visible irradiation on the Li+ complexing ability of 1 was also examined with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

In the present study, dispersive solid phase extraction - hydride generation integrated with micro-sampling gas-liquid separator - flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed to determine lead in lake water samples taken in the Horseshoe Island, Antarctica. In scope of this study, microwave assisted NiFeO nanoparticles were synthesized, and the characterization of nanoparticles were carried out by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. All influential parameters of dispersive solid phase extraction and hydride generation were optimized to enhance signal intensity belonging to the analyte.

Research has consistently linked exposure to particulate matter (PM) with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and mortality. Understanding the mechanisms by which PM leads to these effects on human health is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies. One aspect of PM research that has gained increased attention in the past few years is the bioaccessibility of inhaled PM-bound pollutants that have potential to cause adverse health effects.

Background: Upadacitinib is a selective Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitor approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to establish and validate a method for determining Upadacitinib in patients with IBD by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method.
Methods: The mobile phase was 0.

Perfluorocarboxylic acids and perfluorosulfonic acids accumulate in food webs, thus posing a serious threat to food safety. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) derived a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 4.4 ng/kg body weight for the sum of the four so-called EFSA-PFAS in 2020.

α-Terpineol and 1,8-cineole are two important compounds in essential oils. This study developed an efficient method to recover α-terpineol from model oil (MO) based on association extraction by in situ formations of deep eutectic solvent (DES) between α-terpineol and some quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) by hydrogen-bond (HB) interaction. Such interaction could be broken almost completely by the introduction of water, due to the stronger HB interaction between water and QASs, which could release α-terpineol by liquid-liquid separation and save the organic solvents consumption.
