Materials extracted

When PET is extracted with water no detectable quantities of ethylene glycol or terephthaUc acid can be found, even at elevated extraction temperatures (110). Extractable materials are generally short-chained polyesters and aldehydes (110). Aldehydes occur naturally iu foods such as fmits and are produced metabohcaHy iu the body. Animal feeding studies with extractable materials show no adverse health effects. 

Humic acids are alkaH-extractable materials and total humic acid content is a term that refers to the humic acid content of coal that has had its carboxylate cations removed with sodium pyrophosphate. Values for some typical AustraHan brown coals range from 24—92% (13). Treatment of lignitic coals with mineral acid to release the alkaH and alkaline cations may dissolve up to 20% of the coal. The naturally moist coals are slightly acidic and have a pH of 3.5—6.5. 

The same color variety is not typical with inorganic insertion/extraction materials blue is a common transmitted color. However, rare-earth diphthalocyanine complexes have been discussed, and these exhibit a wide variety of colors as a function of potential (73—75). Lutetium diphthalocyanine [12369-74-3] has been studied the most. It is an ion-insertion/extraction material that does not fit into any one of the groups herein but has been classed with the organics in reviews. Films of this complex, and also erbium diphthalocyanine [11060-87-0] have been prepared successfiiUy by vacuum sublimation and even embodied in soHd-state cells (76,77). 

When the concentration of dissolved coal exceeds about 5% of the solution by weight, the extracted material resembles the parent coal in composition and some properties. The extract consists of the smaller molecules within the range of the parent coal. Recovered extract is relatively nonvolatile and high melting. A kinetic study of coal dissolution indicated increasing heats of activation for increasing amounts of dissolved coal (69). 

The soliihility of the inert, adsorption of solute on the inert, and complexity of solvent and extracted material can he taken into account if necessary. Their consideration is heyond the scope of this treatment. 

Composite Samples Obtained by Multiple Sample Extractions Material flow streams are sampled in practice by combining extractions taken at successive time intei vals into a composite sample. Multiple increment collection to obtain representative composite sampfes for specified bulk-material flows is performed according to a... 

In 1994, Nam and King (68) developed a SFE/SFC/GC instrumentation system for the quantitative analysis of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticide residues in fatty food samples (chicken fat, ground beef and lard). In this way, SFC was used as an on-line clean-up step to remove extracted material. The fraction containing pesticide residues is then diverted and analysed by GC.

The procedure for determination of neutral oils in AOS measures petroleum spirit-extractable material from an aqueous alcoholic solution. Normally a solution of 1 1 ethanol/water is used as to dissolve the sample prior to extraction. For higher molecular weight materials 2 1 propan-2-ol/water is preferred. The petroleum ether is removed on a steambath and finally under vacuum. The amount of neutral oil is then determined gravimetrically. Due to the slight volatility of alkenes, alkanes, and alcohols, especially in the C,2 materials, the neutral oil tends to be underestimated by these procedures. 

A recent study on wheat bran GAX [34] revealed the presence of lowly and highly substituted GAX fractions, which greatly differ in the amount and type of substitution by the Ara/ imits, but not in the content of the glucuronic acid, half of which occurs as the 4-0-methyl ether. Feruloylated GAX fractions were isolated from wheat bran by cold water, steam and dilute alkah [35]. The yields of water and steam-extracted material were 1.5 and 20-31%, respectively, however, they contained 1.5% and 19-28%, respectively, of GAX. The alkah extraction yielded 10-30% material containing more than 90% of the GAX with moderate FA content. 

Fractionation. The process by which components are extracted firm bacterial eells or from the medium in whieh the baeteria are grown and obtained in a purified form. The polysaccharide antigens of Neisseria meningitidis are separated from the bacterial cells by treatment with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and those of Streptococcus pneumoniae with ethanol. The purity of an extracted material may be improved by resolubilization in a suitable solvent and precipitation. After purification, a component may be dried to a powder, stored indefinitely and, as required, incorporated into a vaccine in precisely weighed amounts at the blending stage. 

Maceration of crnshed or gronnd material in methanol containing small amounts of HCl (<1%) is commonly used at refrigerated temperatures for times ranging from a few hours to overnight. The extracted material is usually too dilute for further analyses and the extraction procednre is usually followed by evaporation of the methanol using vacnnm and mild temperatures (30 to 40°C). Alternatively, the plant materials and solvents can be mixed well with a laboratory blender for a few minutes or a chemical-resistant stir bar for a longer time. Concentration of anthocyanin extracts can be done by rotary evaporation under vacuum conditions for volatile solvents or lyophilization for water. 

As the sensitivity and selectivity of the above GC/MS methods are for many analytes around 1 pg injected into the GC system, cleanup by SiOa fractionation can be omitted when larger sample sizes (25-100 g) are possible. For difficult dry (e.g. hops, pharmaceutical herbs) or oily (e.g. rape seed, fat, liver) materials which start with smaller sample sizes (5-10 g) and tend to overload the chromatographic cleanup systems, however, cleanup is still an important requirement as the GC injection system is vulnerable when the ratio of co-extracted material to analyte is too high. 

Peak type on chromatogram. The shape of the matrix peaks depends on the nature of the sample and also on the organic mobile phase content. For HPLC, since low-level detection is required, the interference of co-extract materials in the samples should be minimized. 

Viscometric flow theories describe how to extract material properties from macroscopic measurements, which are integrated quantities such as the torque or volume flow rate. For example, in pipe flow, the standard measurements are the volume flow rate and the pressure drop. The fundamental difference with spatially resolved measurements is that the local characteristics of the flows are exploited. Here we focus on one such example, steady, pressure driven flow through a tube of circular cross section. The standard assumptions are made, namely, that the flow is uni-directional and axisymmetric, with the axial component of velocity depending on the radius only. The conservation of mass is satisfied exactly and the z component of the conservation of linear momentum reduces to... 

The tables show that the fronds treated with extracted materials exhibited bleaching, chlorosis, and other morphological changes. 

Principles and Characteristics The principle of solid-fluid-vortex extraction, a recent development [152], is based on the creation of a relatively high filtration pressure as a result of cooling off a vapour chamber in a boiler vessel in such a way that there is (ideally) complete condensation and the extractive fluid is forced through a filter and/or extraction material at nearly one atmosphere in the case of open extractor systems and at more than one atmosphere in the case of closed extractor systems (cf. hydrostatic pressures up to 0.01 bar in Soxhlet). 

This cycle of vaporisation of the solvent, condensation, extraction, and vacuum-filtration may be repeated any number of times in a solid-fluid serial extractor. The occurrence of an extractive material fluid bed as a result of the flow of boiling hot vapour provides for effective extraction, while pressure filtration provides for short cycle times. This functional principle makes it possible to achieve filtration pressures which are 50-100 times more effective than when using the Soxhlet method, where only the low hydrostatic pressure of the extractive fluid operates. Solid-fluid-vortex extraction according to the proprietary FEXTRA (Feststoff Extraktion) principle is low cost. 

Other reported applications are in the field of agrochemistry, e.g. the determination of oil content in oilseeds [155], and in such diverse areas as environmental chemistry, soil samples, foodstuffs, natural products, animal tissues, pharmaceutical drugs, metabolism research, etc. Warning The author has noticed that the seals of the commercial apparatus (fexIKA) contain unwanted extractable material. 

Bartle et al. [286] described a simple model for diffusion-limited extractions from spherical particles (the so-called hot-ball model). The model was extended to cover polymer films and a nonuniform distribution of the extractant [287]. Also the effect of solubility on extraction was incorporated [288] and the effects of pressure and flow-rate on extraction have been rationalised [289]. In this idealised scheme the matrix is supposed to contain small quantities of extractable materials, such that the extraction is not solubility limited. The model is that of diffusion out of a homogeneous spherical particle into a medium in which the extracted species is infinitely dilute. The ratio of mass remaining (m ) in the particle of radius r at time t to the initial amount (mo) is given by ... 

The advantages associated with the MAP technology as compared to conventional and automatic Soxhlet methods are considerable (Table 3.33). In MAP high sensitivity and selectivity by fractionation are achieved using different extraction media with similar, or better, linearity and reproducibility parameters. One of the principle features of the process is the lower temperatures observed in the microwave-extracted materials in contrast to volumetric heating usually experienced in traditional solvent procedures. These lower temperatures...
