“…The adsorption capacity of ATPS for CuX 2 from ethanol solution is higher than that obtained with silsesquioxane 3-npropylpyridiniumchloride polymer (SiPyCl) [10], or silica gel surface chemically modified with benzimidazole [18,27], imidazole [20,21], or 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole [28]. For instance, the adsorption capacity for the determination of CuCl 2 from ethanol solution on SiPyCl [10] and benzimidazole-modified silica [18,27] is 0.34 and 0.22 mmol g −1 , respectively.…”
