... A stereoselective liquid chromatographic method to determine the enantiomers of ornidazole in human plasma and urine has been developed and validated. After addition of the internal standard (naproxen), samples were acidified and extracted with diethyl ether. The separation was performed on a Chiralcel OB-H column, using hexane-ethanol- glacial acetic acid (94:6:0.08, v/v) as the mobile phase. The ...

Abstract:
... A rapid, sensitive and specific method for quantifying ciprofibrate in human plasma using bezafibrate as the internal standard (IS) is described. The sample was acidified prior extraction with formic acid (88%). The analyte and the IS were extracted from plasma by liquid–liquid extraction using an organic solvent (diethyl ether/dichloromethane 70/30 (v/v)). The extracts were analyzed by high perfo ...
... Mixed metal oxides have been used as catalysts for the partial oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. The solids were shown to be active and selective for the reaction at relatively low temperature. Various physical techniques have been used to establish the active sites for this reaction and understand the role of the different elements. The results obtained showed that Brønsted acidic sites were ...

In experiments, evaluated conditions were as follows: composition and volume of mobile phase, ratio between volume of sample and mass of stationary phase and flow rate of mobile phase during separation. The res ...
... This paper is Part B of a two-paper series aiming at a better understanding of membrane formation via phase inversion process by means of immersion precipitation for hydrophobic, integrally skinned membranes. Four different polysulfone (PSf)/solvent systems, namely PSf/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), PSf/N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), PSf/methyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and PSf/N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), w ...
... The methyl esters of corn oil (COE) obtained by the optimized transesterification reaction using Ba(OH)2 as catalyst, in presence of diethyl ether as solvent were converted in monomer by in situ epoxidation using peracid method (H2O2/acetic acid solutions). The epoxidation was carried out in presence of Amberlite IR 120H as catalyst and cyclohexane as solvent, at molar ratio 0.5/1.5/1 (acetic acid ...
... The sulphite pulping process for cellulose extraction consists of lignin depolymerisation of wood by sulphonation and hydrolysis leading to the production of spent sulphite liquor (SSL) as waste stream enriched in hemicellulose sugars and lignin derivatives. In this work, liquid–liquid extraction was used in order to separate phenolics from the sugar-rich SSL fraction. The effects of type of solve ...

Abstract:
... Experimental and theoretical studies on the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons (n‐hexane, cyclohexane, n‐heptane, n‐octane and isooctane) and ethanol in 28 Torr O₂ or air plasma generated by a hollow cathode discharge ion source were made. Ions corresponding to [M + 15]⁺ and [M + 13]⁺ in addition to [M − H]⁺ and [M − 3H]⁺ were detected as major ions where M is the sample molecule. The ions [M + 1 ...
... To prepare an aroma mixture of Japanese soy sauce by fewest components, the aroma concentrate of good sensory attributes was prepared by polyethylene membrane extraction, which could extract only the volatiles with diethyl ether. GC-MS-Olfactometry was done with the aroma concentrate, and 28 odor-active compounds were detected. Application of aroma extract dilution analysis to the separated fracti ...
... An alternative method to quantify 40 volatile compounds in wheat bread crumb is proposed. It consists of a Soxhlet extraction with a mixture of dichloromethane and diethyl ether containing lipases and a subsequent concentration with Vigreux column. It is the first time that lipases are added to transform the fat into free fatty acids and glycerol, which elute at the end of the chromatogram after t ...
... In the present work the plasma levels of PZA and its two active metabolites, pyrazinoic acid (PA) and 5-hydroxy pyrazinoic acid (5-OH PA) were determined by a sensitive and rapid LC–MS/MS method. The analytes and their labeled internal standards were extracted from 200μL plasma samples by liquid-liquid extraction with methyl tert-butyl ether: diethyl ether (90:10, v/v) under acidic conditions. The ...
... The quantification of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids is becoming more and more relevant in fecal and plasma samples due to their biological impact, which has been associated with colon rectal cancer and fiber consumption. For these reasons, a fast, cost-effective, and reproducible analytical method is highly required. In this research, a gas chromatography–mass spectrometry method based ...
... The mass spectrometry analysis of oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) remains challenging due to their limited ionization efficiencies. In this study, we surprisingly found that, under vacuum-UV (VUV) excitation, a gaseous mixture of CH₂Cl₂/H₂O/analyte (OVOCs) in N₂ buffer generated large amounts of H₃O⁺ and protonated analyte even when the photon energy was lower than the ionization ene ...

The fruits of this plant are used for diarrhoea.This study was carried out to investigate the effect of S. domestica on ulcerative colitis induced by acetic acid in rats.The crude methanolic extract of fruits was sequentially fractionated into five subextracts; dic ...
... Coffee beans are a rich source of bioactive phytochemicals such as chlorogenic acids (CGA). During the roasting process, the CGA content changes dramatically. An effective HPTLC method was developed which allows a fast characterization of the eight main CGA present in green and roasted coffee beans and their distribution during roasting trials. The method was optimized with regard to three caffeoy ...

... Low-temperature (LT) engine applications have several potential benefits, including reduced emissions and increased efficiency. Attaining these benefits requires accurate kinetic modeling of LT chain branching, which depends heavily on ketohydroperoxide (KHP) decomposition. For diethyl ether (DEE), a promising biofuel, current estimates of the KHP decomposition rate constant are largely based on e ...
