Title: Nanomaterials, its synthesis, characterization and application for signal enhancement of electrodes, enrichment and solid phase extraction of organic and inorganic species

Abstract

Among the key challenges faced by analytical chemist is the determination of analyte at molecular level. Further the overexploitation for natural resources has led to many issues including the availabilities of the badly needed non renewable resources. This has necessitated the search for   resource recovery for reuse in commercial applications... To come up to these challenges scientist are investigating new materials for resource recovery, enrichment and determination at trace levels. A variety of novel martials modified and unmodified were synthesized and characterized using FTIR, SEM and EDX for functional groups, morphology and elemental analysis respectively. These nano composites were used for simultaneous pre-concentration of trace elements such as Pb, Cu, Ni and Co prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Nano composite were also tried for solid phase and liquid liquid micro extraction of emerging pharmaceutical pollutants and aromatic amines. Various parameters, effecting sorption efficiency were Investigated. The details of our investigations will be presented and discussed.
