For example, the hydrophobicity of GUMBOS can be adjusted by modifying the counterion or by incorporating nanomaterials through a simple reprecipitation method in water. Participants involved in this project will develop GUMBOS with magnetic properties and apply them for the extraction and subsequent analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from environmental samples. The goal is to reduce the need for large volumes of solvents while effectively extracting these organic contaminants from water samples. By leveraging the unique […]
