Al-Bahir Journal for Engineering and Pure Sciences

This study seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest progress in the antioxidant properties of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as a promising tool in several domains of science and industry, including their application as antioxidant agents. The main knowledge gaps seem to be in correctly identifying the make-up of the naturally occurring phytochemicals that give these nano-antioxidants their extraordinary pharmacology and drug-like properties. In many instances, that characterization is done using spectroscopy instrumentation such as fourier-transform Infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). From literature appraisals, it was discovered that a lot of …


Univariate Optimization Of Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction For Preconcentration Of Lead From Environmental Matrices, Samawah Region Prior To Quantification Using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Zaman Sahb Mehdi, Saher A. Ali Alshamkhawy Feb 2024

Univariate Optimization Of Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction For Preconcentration Of Lead From Environmental Matrices, Samawah Region Prior To Quantification Using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Zaman Sahb Mehdi, Saher A. Ali Alshamkhawy

Al-Bahir Journal for Engineering and Pure Sciences

In this work, a procedure based on dispersive liquid₋liquid microextraction for lead (Pb) preconcentration and quantification in an environmental matrix by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) was applied. A case-study approach was chosen to obtain further in-depth information on the Pb levels. The green chemistry principles have been applied for the pretreatment and preparation of real samples by focusing on some features such as the volume of reagents/sample, employ of energy efficient equipment, and production of waste. A univariate strategy was utilized to achieve the optimum extraction conditions. 1750 µL of acetonitrile containing 100 µL of carbon tetrachloride, were rapid …
