Antibiotics are life-saving drugs, projecting their pivotal role in preventing and mitigating
infectious diseases from the time of their evolution. The mass production of antibiotics was …

This review focuses on the combination of elemental detection techniques with liquid-phase
microextraction (LPME), namely, single drop microextraction, hollow fiber based liquid …

Solvent bar micro-extraction (SBME) was introduced to improve some aspects of hollow fiber
liquid phase micro-extraction. It has rapidly evolved and gained increasing interest. In SBME …

Sample preparation is a critical step in the separation of target analytes from complex
matrices, which can influence the reliability and accuracy of the resulting analysis. Recent …

In this work, a novel mode of hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) technique
namely rotating extraction cell solvent bar microextraction (REC-SBME) was introduced. The …

In this study, a method was developed for the desalination and pre-concentration of three
colloidal trace metals in seawater, namely Cd, Cu and Pb, using diethylammonium …

Abstract Transition metals Cd, Pd and Ag are toxic even at very low concentration. Cd is
considered a priority substance; while, Pd and Ag are emerging pollutants. Membrane …

Water analysis of trace metals has been benefited by recent studies on sample preparation
by liquid micro-extraction. However, there are still limitations for its application to seawater …

Developments in the liquid micro-extraction of trace metals from aqueous phases have
proven to be limited when extended from pure water to more complex and demanding …

Abstract Cadmium (Cd) and silver (Ag) are naturally occurring metals in saline natural
waters, which may present toxic effects even at trace level. Membrane technology has been …
