Dithizone-impregnated admicelles were prepared by mixing silica particles with dithizone and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride in 0.1 mol L(-1) aqueous ammonia. The resulting admicelles were added to 1000 mL of sample solution and dispersed by stirring for 15 min. Traces of Ni(II), Cu(II), Ga(III), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Bi(III) in the solution were simultaneously incorporated into the admicelles at pH 7.5-9. With the aid of a rising stream of numerous tiny bubbles, the admicelles were floated on the solution surface and collected in a small sampling vessel by suction. The metals were desorbed from the admicelles with dilute nitric acid and determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The proposed method offered a 100-fold multielement preconcentration and it was applicable to the analysis of river and pond waters.

An in-line sample concentration method for capillary electrophoresis called admicelle to solvent microextraction was proposed. In this technique, analytes were trapped in the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide admicelles formed in situ on the negatively charged capillary surface. A solvent plug was then partially injected hydrodynamically to collapse the admicelles, which liberated and focused the analytes at the solvent front.

Most organophosphates (OPs) are hydrophobic, and after exposure, can sequester into lipophilic regions within the body, such as adipose tissue, resulting in long term chronic effects. Consequently, there is an urgent need for therapeutic agents that can decontaminate OPs in these hydrophobic regions. Accordingly, an enzyme-polymer surfactant nanocomplex is designed and tested comprising chemically supercharged phosphotriesterase (Agrobacterium radiobacter; arPTE) electrostatically conjugated to amphiphilic polymer surfactant chains ([cat.

Cyclodextrins (CDs) as a pseudophase in pseudophase-to-pseudophase microextraction (PME) in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) are proposed. In this PME mode called CD to admicelle ME, a long plug of dilute analyte solution prepared in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) at the critical micellar concentration was injected into the capillary. This formed CTAB admicelles at the interface between the solution and the negatively charged capillary surface, where the analytes were trapped.

Ion Exchange (IEX) applications for drinking water can be limited due to high volumes of brine, brine waste and treated water corrosivity. Reusing the resin by operating at reduced regeneration frequency can overcome this. However, assessing changes on the resin loading over reuse cycles is complex because multiple presaturant ions participate in the exchange and existing models only account for the exchange with one presaturant ion.

This study aims to investigate the adsorption characteristics of cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylamonium bromide (CTAB) onto negatively nanosilica rice husk surface and the application for antibiotic treatment in water environment. Adsorption of CTAB onto nanosilica increased with an increase of solution pH, due to an enhancement of the electrostatic attraction between cationic methylamomethylamonium groups and negatively charged nanosilica surface enhanced at higher pH. Adsorption of CTAB decreased with a decrease of ionic strength while a common intersection point (CIP) was observed for adsorption isotherm at different ionic strengths, suggesting that hydrophobic interactions between alkyl chains in CTAB molecules significantly induced adsorption and admicelles with bilayer formation were dominant than monolayer of hemimicelles.
