In order to monitor a radioactive nuclide of strontium-90 in seawater around nuclear facilities, a solvent-extraction method for collecting Sr(II) in seawater was examined. A reversed-micellar extraction system containing an anionic surfactant AOT and a molecular extractant N,N,N',N'-tetra(n-octyl)diglycolamide (TODGA) in n-hexane was chosen for the extraction of Sr(II) from model solutions of seawater containing 0.5 M NaCl (1 M = 1 mol dm(-3)), 0.05 M MgCl(2), and/or 0.01 M CaCl(2). The combination of AOT-forming reversed micelles and TODGA coordinating with Sr(II) as an organic ligand (extractant) was found to be efficient for the extraction of Sr(II) from model solutions. The mechanism of the reversed-micellar extraction system was also considered in the present study.

Hexafluoroisopropanol-alkanol (C-C) supramolecular solvents were proposed and their application potential as restricted access extraction solvents was assessed. Hexafluoroisopropanol acts as alkanol reverse micelle-forming agent and density-regulating agent for the supramolecular solvent synthesis. The formation of supramolecular solvent only needs a small percentage of hexafluoroisopropanol (<10% v/v for alkanol <5% v/v) and is almost not affected by the pH (2-11) and low ionic strength (NaCl <3%, w/v) of aqueous medium.

Polyphenoloxidase from apple was extracted and further concentrated by cationic reversed micellar extraction. Previous to reversed micellar extraction a crude protein extract was obtained using AG2-X8 as adsorbent of phenolic compounds and the detergent Triton X-100. Forward and backward extraction conditions were optimized by using dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide as surfactant in the organic phase.

Reversed micellar system (RMS) is an innovative technique used for the isolation, extraction and purification of proteins and enzymes. Studies have demonstrated that RMS is an efficient purification technology for extracting proteins and enzymes from natural plant materials or fermentation broth. Lately, reverse micelles have wider biological applications and the ease of scaling up and the possibility for the continuous process have made RMS a vital purification technique in various fields.

A highly sensitive flow-injection (FI) method was developed for the determination of ascorbic acid using chemiluminescence (CL) based detection. This method involved the following processes: (1) reduction of tetrachloroaurate(III) in hydrochloric acid with ascorbic acid; (2) on-line extraction of the residual Au(III) with rhodamine B from the aqueous hydrochloric acid solution into toluene, followed by the separation of the Au(III)-containing organic phase from the aqueous phase through a microporous Teflon membrane in the flow system; and (3) the measurement of CL produced in a flow cell upon mixing of the extract stream of Au(III) in toluene with luminol in the reversed micellar medium of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride-water in 1-hexanol-cyclohexane, which was injected into a CL reagent stream. In this procedure, a reduction in the CL intensity occurred due to the addition of ascorbic acid to the Au(III) solution.

Partial purification of β-galactosidase from the crude extract of Kluyveromyces lactis was carried out using water-in-isooctane microemulsions formed by the anionic surfactant, sodium di-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT). In order to obtain the crude extract, yeast cells of K. lactis were disrupted by a cell disrupter and separated.
