Uncertainty associated to the analysis of organochlorine pesticides in water by solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography–electron capture detection—Evaluation using two different approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of two organochlorine pesticides of somewhat opposite characteristics (lindane and heptachlor, classified as persistent organic pollutants--POPs) were analyzed in aqueous media using headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) prior to gas chromatography-electron capture detection (GC-ECD) and this methodology was in-house validated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of microparticles containing natural antioxidants: Preparation, characterization and controlled release studies
TL;DR: Spray-dried Na-CMC microparticles loaded with CAF, CGA and RA were encapsulated by spray-drying using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to overcome their limitations in industrial applications and revealed a smooth spherical shape with mean diameter below 11 μm.

TL;DR: The different subjects included in the web platform, as well as the simulation strategies and the web methodologies used for its construction, are described, and examples of application in the classroom are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amoxicillin removal from aqueous matrices by sorption with almond shell ashes
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the adsorbent amount, initial concentration of the antibiotic, particle diameter and temperature were considered to evaluate the adsorption capacity of the adorbent, and the results showed that amoxicillin sorption is dependent on these four factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of semi-volatile priority pollutants in landfill leachates and sediments using microwave-assisted headspace solid-phase microextraction
TL;DR: The method allows the determination of PAHs and PCBs in landfill leachates and sediments, avoiding clean-up steps and the consumption of organic solvents, and good linearity was observed within the concentration range studied.
