Subcritical Water Extraction is considered an environmentally responsible "green chemistry" due to some key operation considerations: 1. Minimal chemical consumption during the extraction process (water is the main solvent used). 2. Power usage for...
Flow injection analysis first appeared in the 1970’s and has evolved into a larger group of automatic chemical analysers. The current technologies in this group are: Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) Segmented Flow Analysis (FIA) Discrete Analysers Different...
Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is a relatively new technique that offers several advantages including faster run times, better resolution and more concentrated separations.The limitations of SFC are: it has only been proven on small molecular...
Typically medicinal cannabis production involves an initial extraction from the flower bud material using Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE), solvent extraction or similar technique to produce a concentrate of terpenes and cannabinoids. The basic SFC...
Medicinal Cannabinoid production is an emerging market that overlaps well with supercritical fluid techniques. For initial extraction of the cannabinoids and terpenes, supercritical fluid extraction can be used to separate the raw cannabinoid oils...
Various organs in animals have the ability to accumulate heavy metals. An example is mercury (Hg) in shark liver. A commercial application is monitoring Cadmium in sheep liver which can be used for paté usage. The universal limit set for Cadmium is lower than...
Monitoring of heavy metals in various foods is being continually updated with specified maximum allowable levels. Determination of Cadmium in liver is an example. Using a high sensitivity procedure, Cadmium was detectable in liver samples down to 7ppb; more than...
Total N is measured in the same device with UV digestion + UV reduction for Total Nitrogen. Colorimetric, acidic digestion and UV Digestion is used for Total Phosphorus.
After a prolonged dry period, heavy rainfall in a catchment area can yield unacceptably high levels of organics and toxic analytes in a river system flash flood. Water-treatment plants that process this raw water with high agricultural analytes, then have flocculants...
The digestion of sulphide ores for analysis by AAS ,ICP or ICP-MS creates two potential problems. 1. Sulphide ores can contain silicates which are difficult to digest by aqua regia and require use of HF which requires special handling and safety...
