Liquid phase micro-extraction (LPME) of metals has showed its potential for sample
preparation in environmental analysis. In particular, the incorporation of ionic liquids to …

Biochar is deemed as the ideal material for the effective removal of heavy metals in
wastewater treatment. Herein, we developed a facile one-step solvothermal method for the …

A biochar (BC) was obtained by the pyrolysis of watermelon seeds (WM) in nitrogen
environment. In addition, a modified biochar (HP-BC) was obtained by means of H 2 O 2 …

Extraction in the context of analytical chemistry (analytical-scale extraction) is defined as “the
transfer of target analyte from one phase to a different phase where further processing and …

Task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) represent a sub-family of ionic liquids characterized by
their high specificity towards a target analyte or group of analytes. This characteristic has …

Due to its high toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation in the food chain, controlling
cadmium (Cd) pollution in wastewater is urgent. Activated carbon is a popular material for …

The synthesis of ionic liquids can generate large amounts of waste and use toxic or
expensive raw materials. In this short review, we focused on one of the most promising …

Solvent bar micro-extraction is a green miniaturized extraction technique that is compatible
with various analytical instruments for trace analysis of analytes in complex matrices. The …

Existing methods for the extraction of priority metallic pollutants as Ag, Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn
from saline waters present limited efficacy due to the high complexity of the water matrix …
