An environmentally friendly multicommutated alternative to the reference method for anionic surfactant determination in water
2004
Abstract It has been developed a fully mechanized procedure for the spectrophotometric determination of anionic surfactants in water expressed in terms of SDS concentration. The reference method, based on the reaction of SDS with methylene blue (MB) followed by extraction in chloroform, was mechanized in order to reduce the consumption of organic solvents. The system was based on the multicommutation approach and provided a 35 times reduction of the waste production without sacrificing the figures of merit of the method in terms of sensitivity and repeatability, for a dynamic linear range from 0.2 to 1.7 mg l−1. Results obtained for washing water samples were comparable with those obtained …
Study on the determination of trace rhenium (VII) by the adsorption differential pulse polarography
1989
The determination of trace rhenium (VII) by differential pulse polarography in the system of H2SO4-(NHsOH)2 · H2SO4-TeO2−4 is markedly improved by the addition of Nitron, which is adsorbed on the surface of mercury electrode. The limit of detection is down to 2 × 1010 M. The adsorptive peak potential is −0.80 V (vs. SCE). In the ranges of 5 × 1010—10−8, 1 × 10−5—10−7 and 1 × 10−7—10−6M, there are good linear relationships between the peak current increment and the concentration, of which the relative standard deviations are 9.5, 6.6, 1.8% respectively with the correlation coefficients of linear regression of 0.995–0.999. The results relating to this polarographic wave show that it is an ads…
Oxidation of adrenaline and noradrenaline by solved molecular oxygen in a FIA assembly.
2002
A simple and effective procedure is proposed for the study and simultaneous determination of adrenaline and noradrenaline. The fluorimetric determination of both substances is performed in a flow injection assembly and by oxidation of both drugs with the solved molecular oxygen. The influence of different parameters is empirically studied and the interpretation of the reaction mechanism is also added. The determination of adrenaline is monitored at 450 nm and the outputs at 520 nm correspond to the adrenaline and noradrenaline global amount; for both lectures lambda(exc) 329 nm. The influence of temperature is relevant and analytical determination occurred at 55 degrees C by immersing the s…
Selective and sentivive method based on capillary liquid chromatography with in-tube solid phase microextraction for determination of monochloramine …
2015
Abstract Due to the difficulties of working with chloramines, a critical examination of monochloramine standard preparation has been performed in order to select the best synthesis conditions. The analyte has been determined by in-tube solid phase extraction coupled to capillary liquid chromatography with UV detection (IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD). Potential factors affecting the response of monochloramine such as the pH of mobile phase and the volume of sample processed by IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD have been investigated and optimized. According to the results of the study, 0.1 mL or 4.0 mL of sample at neutral pH were loaded in the chromatographic system. A sensitive and selective method has …
Indirect spectrophotometric determination of p-aminobenzoic acid in sunscreen formulations by sequential injection analysis
2003
Abstract A simple indirect sequential injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of the UV-filter p -aminobenzoic acid (PABA) in sunscreen formulations is proposed. The determination is based on the reaction of PABA with hypochlorite in acidic medium and the subsequent measurement of the residual chlorine by using the well-known reaction with o -tolidine. The experimental variables involved in the sequential injection analysis (SIA) system (sandwich arrangement, volumes of sample and reagents, propulsion flow rate, reaction coil length) and adequate concentrations of reagents were studied. The SIA method has a linear range up to 20 μg ml −1 (3 s y / x / b detection limit) of …
Use of gold nanoparticle-coated sorbent materials for the selective preconcentration of sulfonylurea herbicides in water samples and determination by…
2012
Abstract Two new gold nanoparticle (NP) coated materials (silica supported on gold NP with and without ionic liquid) were synthesized for solid phase extraction of sulfonylurea herbicides (SUHs), such as bensulfuron-methyl (BSM), metsulfuron-methyl (MSM), pyrazosulfuron-methyl (PSM), thifensulfuron-methyl (TFM) and triasulfuron (TS), from water samples, followed by capillary liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detection (CLC–DAD). Several factors influencing the preconcentration efficiency of SUHs and its subsequent determination, such as pH of the sample, eluent and reusability of sorbents, have been investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the developed method allowed the dete…
Separation and determination of homologues of linear alkylbenzenesulfonates by nonaqueous capillary zone electrophoresis using alkylammonium salts in…
2001
The separation of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) using negative polarity, and a buffer containing acetic acid and an alkylamine in nonaqueous ethanol, has been investigated. Several primary, secondary, and tertiary alkylamines with alkyl chains of different length were compared. The solutes travelled against the electroosmotic flow (EOF), and at the same time were braked by association with the alkylamine molecules or with the alkylammonium ions. The best resolution between adjacent LAS homologues (R approximately 2.1), partial isomer resolution in two peaks, and at the same time an excellent repeatability, was obtained with a small dipen…
On-line gel permeation chromatography–attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared determination of lecithin and soybean oil in dietary su…
2007
Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) with attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrometry detection has been proposed for the simultaneous determination of lecithin and soybean oil in dietary supplements. The method involves the extraction of analytes with dichloromethane in an ultrasound water bath and the injection of 2 ml of centrifuged and filtered extracts into the system integrated by two Envirogel GPC columns (19 mm x150 mm, 19 mm x 300 mm) coupled on-line. Dichloromethane was used as mobile phase. A method has been developed to select the most appropriated wavenumber to be used for the determination of each considered compound from the calculation of a…
Axiomatic Foundations Of Fixed-Basis Fuzzy Topology
1999
This paper gives the first comprehensive account on various systems of axioms of fixed-basis, L-fuzzy topological spaces and their corresponding convergence theory. In general we do not pursue the historical development, but it is our primary aim to present the state of the art of this field. We focus on the following problems:
Interactive Terrain Simulation and Force Distribution Models in Sand Piles
2006
This paper presents an application of Cellular Automata in the field of dry Granular Systems modelling While the study of granular systems is not a recent field, no efficient models exist, from a computational point of view, in classical methodologies Some previous works showed that the use of Cellular Automata is suitable for the development of models that can be used in real time applications This paper extends the existing Cellular Automata models in order to make them interactive A model for the reaction to external forces and a pressure distribution model are presented and analyzed, with numerical examples and simulations.
