Application of Polyhydroxybutyrate-b-polyethyleneglycol (a block co-polymer) for Solid Phase Extraction of Lead and Copper in Different Food Samples

In present work, a new adsorbent, polyhydroxybutyrate-b-polyethyleneglycol (block copolymer) was used for the preconcentration and separation of copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) ions without consuming expensive complexing reagent. The influence of various parameters like pH, adsorbent amount, and rates of...
