    A preconcentration method based on the use of graphene oxide (GO) functionalized with an ionic liquid (IL) was developed for trace Hg determination in water samples. The IL-GO hybrid nanomaterial was prepared by a simple procedure to functionalize GO with the IL 1-butyl-3-dodecylimidazolium bromide ([C4C12im]Br) and its performance as a sorption material for Hg was evaluated. A microcolumn filled with the IL-GO nanomaterial was used for preconcentration and determination of Hg followed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) detection. Mercury was retained at pH 5.0 and 20% (v/v) HNO3 was used for the elution of Hg from the microcolumn. The effects of different variables, including the sample volume, extraction time, sample flow rate, type and concentration of eluent and eluent flow rate were carefully studied. High retention efficiency (100%) was achieved with the proposed IL-GO sorption nanomaterial without the need for additional chelating reagents or derivatization reagents, which is an important advantage compared with traditional preconcentration methods. A sensitivity enhancement factor of 100 and a low detection limit of 14 ng L-1 were obtained under optimal experimental conditions. The proposed method can be considered as a simple, cost-effective and efficient alternative for Hg determination in water samples like river, rain, mineral and tap water.Fil: Cruz Sotolongo, Annaly.

    Hybrid ionic liquid-3D graphene-Ni foam for on-line preconcentration and separation of Hg species in water with atomic fluorescence spectrometry detection

    A preconcentration method based on a novel hybrid sorption nanomaterial consisting in a 3D graphene-Ni foam functionalized with an ionic liquid (IL) was developed for Hg species determination. The capability of different phosphonium-ionic liquids (PILs) to functionalize the hybrid material and form ion-pairs with Hg(II) chlorocomplex was evaluated. A comparative study with PILs containing the trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation but different anions (dicyanamide and decanoate) and trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride was performed. Inorganic Hg (InHg) species was selectively retained forming a chlorocomplex (HgCl4 2−) followed by its retention in a column filled with the IL-3D graphene-Ni foam material implemented in an on-line micro solid phase extraction system (μSPE). The elution of Hg from the column was performed with SnCl2, which was also used as reducing agent for subsequent detection by cold vapor generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CV-AFS). Organic mercury species (OrgHg) were not retained on the sorption material of the column. The effect of several parameters determining the efficiency of the preconcentration and detection system (sample loading and elution flow rate, sample volume, instrumental conditions, etc.) was investigated. A sensitivity enhancement factor (EF) of 180 was achieved for InHg. The detection limit obtained after the preconcentration of 100 mL of sample was 3.6 ng L−1 of InHg. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 4.1% (at 1 μg L−1 InHg and n = 10) calculated from the peak height of the absorbance signals (Gaussian form and reproducible peaks). This work reports the first application of the IL-3D graphene-Ni foam in an on-line μSPE preconcentration system for the speciation analysis of Hg in mineral, tap, and river water samples.Fil: Cruz Sotolongo, Annaly.

    Investigaciones recientes en el campo de la Mecánica de Suelos coinciden en que las variaciones de humedad del suelo conducen a incrementos de la capacidad de carga en suelos parcialmente saturados. Debido a esto dichas investigaciones han estado encaminadas a la formulación de nuevas expresiones que permitan realizar diseños geotécnicos más racionales de acuerdo con estos incrementos. En esta investigación se toma como base una de esas formulaciones basada en una modificación de los parámetros de resistencia al corte: cohesión y ángulo de fricción interna del suelo, y se trata de demostrar mediante un modelo tridimensional el efecto de la succión matricial en el comportamiento del suelo, haciendo uso de las técnicas de modelación estructural e implementando el método de los elementos finitos.Recent investigations on the field of Soils Mechanic are agreed on the fact that the moisture variations lead to an enhancement of the bearing capacity of unsaturated soils. Due to this, those investigations had been on the way to develop new expressions to make better geotechnical designs considering this enhancement. For this thesis is taken in account one of those new formulations based on a modification of the yield shear criterion main parameters: cohesion and internal friction angle. The author tries to prove, using a 3D model, the matrix sorption effect on the behavior of soils using structural layout techniques and the finite elements method.Facultad de Construcciones.Departamento de Ingeniería Civilnon-publishe

Para ello, se innovará en al diseño de nuevas técnicas de microextracción líquido-líquido (LLME) y de preconcentración, basadas en el uso de solventes de última generación denominados "Líquidos Iónicos Magnéticos" (MILs). Las técnicas de microextracción basadas en MILs serán fundamentales para obtener métodos analíticos de alta sensibilidad y selectividad al asociarse a detectores espectrométricos atómicos (AAS, AFS e ICP-MS). El proyecto contribuirá también con métodos que a la vez posean alto grado de sustentabilidad ambiental y se rijan por el concepto de la Química Verde ("Green Chemistry"), debido a la posibilidad que ofrecen los MILs de ser separados, recuperados y transportados por la aplicación de un campo magnético, abriendo nuevas posibilidades más allá del contexto analítico y vinculadas a tecnologías de separación inéditas. Se plantea la resolución de problemas usuales de las técnicas LLME, como son su escasa automatización y la necesidad de disponer de tediosas rutinas para la separación de fases, tales como la centrifugación, la cual insume tiempo considerable y reduce la Finalmente, los métodos analíticos desarrollados serán herramientas fundamentales para la obtención de datos concretos acerca de la calidad de recursos naturales (aguas de diverso origen) y alimentos (ajo, vinos, uvas y mosto) de importancia estratégica para el desarrollo social y productivo de la provincia de Mendoza.In this research project, it is proposed the development of modern high sensitivity analytical methods for the determination and analysis of speciation of trace elements. To do this, it will innovate in the design of new liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) and pre-concentration techniques, based on the use of state-of-the-art solvents called "Magnetic Ionic Liquids" (MILs). The techniques of microextracción based on MILs will be fundamental to obtain analytical methods of high sensitivity and selectivity when associated with atomic spectrometric detectors (AAS, AFS and ICP-MS). The project will also contribute with methods that also have a high degree of environmental sustainability and are governed by the concept of Green Chemistry, due to the possibility offered by the MILs of being separated, recovered and transported by the application of a magnetic field, opening new possibilities beyond the analytical context and linked to unprecedented separation technologies. It is proposed to solve the usual problems of LLME techniques, such as its low automation and the need to have tedious routines for phase separation, such as centrifugation, which takes considerable time and reduces the analytical frequency.Finally, the analytical methods developed will be fundamental tools for obtaining specific data about the quality of natural resources (waters of different origin) and food (garlic, wines, grapes and must) of strategic importance for the social and productive development of the province of Mendoza
