Laser-induced biochar as a miniaturized sorbent for μSPE of organophosphorus pesticides from environmental waters

Research highlight / By

Micro-solid phase extraction (μSPE) has been applied for sample preparation steps in trace analysis. The development of μSPE is trending toward miniaturization through a reduction in device dimensions, a decrease in sorbent amounts, and/or an incorporation of micro-sized or nano-sized materials. Various materials, both synthetic and organic in source, have been used as sorbents. Biochar, …

A novel environmentally friendly catalyst

Research highlight / By

The research group of Assistant Professor Dr. Panuwat Padungros introduces a new eco-friendly catalyst, N,N-didodecylammonium N,N-didodecyldithiocarbamate (AmDTC-C12C12), which self-assembles in water to form vesicles that promote chemical reactions. This system allows the synthesis of valuable compounds like 4H-chromenes and γ-nitro ketones in water, avoiding harmful organic solvents. Read More Ayodele J. Atibioke Panassilp Authai Tirayut …
