A novel method based on solid gas removal (SGR) based on GQDs and MWCNTs as an efficient adsorbent was used for ethylbenzene removal from air in Robson quartz tubes (RGT). After synthesized and purified of GQDs and MWCNTs, a system was designed for generation of ethylbenzene in air with difference concentrations, and then the mixture was moved to quartz tubes with UV radiation in optimized conditions. The ethylbenzene in air was absorbed on the 25 mg of GQDs or MWCNTs, desorbed from sorbent at 146oC and determined by GC-FID. 12 28 2019 59 70 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04.82 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/view/82 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/82/157 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/82/157 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/82/158 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/82/164 Analytical Methods in Environmental Chemistry Journal AMECJournal 2645-5382 2645-5552 12 25 2019 2 04 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/issue/view/10 Seyed Mojtaba Mostafavi Ali Ebrahimi Mercury as a Heavy metal is important factor must be determined and controlled in environmental air and biological. Mercury (Hg) accumulate in living tissues of human body. By NIOSH method, the briefing work place air of petrochemical worker was measured by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry(CV-AAS). For preparation and preconcentration samples before analysis a new method of dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction with ammonium salt of 1-pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate(APTC)combined with cold vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy, was developed.The influences of various analytical parameters including pH, APDC concentration and ionic liquid volume were investigated.Quantitative recoveries were obtained at pH 7.The enrichment factor was calculated as 5.The detection of limit(LOD)and detection of quantification(LOQ)of mercury were 0.06 and 0.2 μg L-1 respectively. In order accuracy determination the method,certified reference materials, NIST SRM 3133 Lot 061204 was analyzed and the recovery value 98% obtained. So, method of DLLME-APTC had good potential for preparation and preconcentration mercury samples before analysis. 12 28 2019 49 58 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04.81 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/view/81 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/81/155 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/81/155 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/81/156 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/81/165 Analytical Methods in Environmental Chemistry Journal AMECJournal 2645-5382 2645-5552 12 25 2019 2 04 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/issue/view/10 Ahmad Riahi Elham Mosafa Bahareh Fahimirad A novel analytical method based on centrifuging dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (CD-LLME) procedure for pre-concentration of As (III) has been developed prior to determine by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). In this method, 0.1 g of a task-specific ionic liquids (methyltrioctylammonium 2-mercaptobenzoate; TOMAS; TSIL) as the extracting and complexing solvent and acetone as dispersant solvent were rapidly added into the water and blood samples at pH 4.5. The As (V) is simply calculated by difference between total concentration and inorganic forms As (III) in liquid samples. By optimizing parameters, the enrichment factor (EF) was obtained 9.8 and 49.6 for blood and water samples, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) of 22.4 ngL-1 and 4.3 ngL-1 were achieved for 10 mL and 50 mL of As(III) in blood and water samples, respectively (RSD<%5). The real samples were validated by certified reference material (CRM) by proposed procedure. 12 27 2019 39 48 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04.83 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/view/83 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/83/153 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/83/153 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/83/154 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/83/166 Analytical Methods in Environmental Chemistry Journal AMECJournal 2645-5382 2645-5552 12 25 2019 2 04 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/issue/view/10 Ahmad Ghozatlu Atefeh Enayatollahi In this study, the effects of nanostructure absorbent of ZnO in graphene bed for a wastewater treatment unit in weaving are evaluated. Initial analysis was undertaken to identify the existing metals and their concentration in the prepared wastewater. It was seen that the diluted solution consisted of the ambivalence ions of lead, copper, nickel, cadmium, and silver with the concentration of 73/31, 81/19, 54/6, 98/1and 76/1 milligram per liter, respectively. Trivalent chrome, with a concentration of 98/1 milligram per liter was also observed. Therefore, by adding various amounts of absorbent (20, 30 and 50 milligrams) to the wastewater sample and adjusting the PH to 5 and 6, each metal was separately absorbed.   12 26 2019 27 38 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04.88 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/view/88 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/88/151 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/88/151 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/88/152 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/88/169 Analytical Methods in Environmental Chemistry Journal AMECJournal 2645-5382 2645-5552 12 25 2019 2 04 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/issue/view/10 Negar Motakef Kazemi Masoumeh Yaqoubi In this research, bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) nanostructures were prepared via chemical method at 90 °C for 3 h. the results samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) for determination of functional groups, X-ray diffraction (XRD) for evaluation of crystal structure, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) for presentation of morphology and size, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for determination of chemical composition, and diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS) for ultraviolet (UV) blocking. Also, the Bi2O3 nanostructures were used for benzene extraction from waters in pH=5-7. By procedure, 30 mg of Bi2O3 mixed with hydrophobic ionic liquid ([HMIM][PF6]) and injected to water samples. After shaking and centrifuging, benzene removed from water by ionic liquid-micro solid phase extraction (IL-μSPE) and determined by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The absorption capacity and recovery was obtained 167.8 mg per gram of Bi2O3 and more than 96%, respectively. 12 26 2019 5 14 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04.79 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/view/79 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/79/146 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/79/146 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/79/148 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/79/162 Analytical Methods in Environmental Chemistry Journal AMECJournal 2645-5382 2645-5552 12 25 2019 2 04 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/issue/view/10 Kian Azami Mehdi Aliomrani Mostafa Dehghani Mobarake A mixture of captopril nanoparticles (CAP-NPs) and ionic liquid (IL, [HMIM] [PF6]) paste on micro graphite rod (CAP-IL-MGR) and was used for separation cadmium in human serum and urine samples by micro solid phase extraction (μ-SPE). 0.01 g of CAP-NPs and 0.1 g of [HMIM] [PF6] mixed with 1 mL of acetone and mixture passed physically on micro graphite rod (MGR) at 55oC.

Various isotherm models were used to analyze experimental data. The highest experimental equilibrium biosorption capacity obtained was 129.88 mg/g. The optimum pH was 3. Adsorption capacity increased with increase in initial solution concentration but decreased with increase in time. The isotherm models applied were good fits based on correlation coefficients. Flory-Huggins isotherm was the best fit (R2 0.986). The biosorption was endothermic, good, physisorptive and spontaneous. This work shows that hen egg membrane is a potential biosorbent for the removal of metanil yellow from aqueous solution. 12 25 2019 15 26 10.24200/amecj.v2.i04.78 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/view/78 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/78/149 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/78/149 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/78/150 http://journal.amecj.com/index.php/AMECJ-01/article/download/78/168
