The evaluation and use of properties of individual ions in slution

A critical examination is given of extra-thermodynamic methods for evaluation of properties of individual ions in solution. The ways in which such data may be applied, or are required in various problems concerning specific properties of electrolyte solutions and in the fields of kinetics, electrochemistry, colloid and interfacial chemistry, are outlined. Special attention is given to the problem of evaluation of individual ionic thermodynamic functions for the hydration of ions but, in some cases, corresponding data for nonaqueous solutions are available for discussion and are of interest in a comparative way. The reliability of the various methods is assessed and estimates of numerical values for various individual ionic functions are tabulated. The question of scales of individual ionic radii, on which some of the derived data depend, is also examined. The dependence of various properties for anions and for cations on ionic radius is discussed and data are plotted comparatively. It is shown that for most, but not all, properties, the values for anions are more sensitive to increasing ionic radius than are the values for cations. This behavior, as well as the exceptions, is of theoretical interest. The significance of ion-specific behavior at interfaces is considered and the importance of interactions between ions of like sign of charge is indicated.Presented at the Symposium on Electrolytes, University of Reading, September 13, 1977.     

Electrooxidation of 2-propanol on Pt, Pd and Au in alkaline medium

Pd and Au are investigated as electrocatalysts for 2-propanol oxidation and compared with the conventional catalyst of Pt in alkaline medium. The current density for 2-propanol oxidation on Pd electrode is much higher than that on Pt electrode. The onset potential for 2-propanol oxidation on Pd electrode is more negative compared with that on Pt electrode. The results show that Pd is a good electrocatalyst for 2-propanol oxidation and the activity for the electrooxidation of 2-propanol is higher than Pt and Au in alkaline medium. Pd has higher electrocatalytic activity and better stability for the electrooxidation of 2-propanol. The present study shows a promising choice of Pd as effective electrocatalyst for 2-propanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium.     

Determination of formaldehyde in frozen fish with formaldehyde dehydrogenase using a flow injection system with an incorporated gel-filtration chromatography column

A flow injection analysis (FIA) system for determination of formaldehyde in frozen fish products is described. The system provides a rapid and selective determination of formaldehyde in aqueous fish extracts by the combination of a deproteinization procedure and a stopped-flow enzymatic approach in a FIA system. The FIA system is furnished with a gel-filtration chromatography column for on-line removal of the proteins from the extract before the enzymatic analysis is performed. Compared with the standard methods for determination of formaldehyde in fish products the present method is much faster and less affected by interferences. The limit of detection for the proposed method is 2.5 mg/l of formaldehyde. The sampling frequency is about 10 determinations per hour.     

Advances in Capillary Chromatography

  Abstract：Capillary columns are used in both capillary liquid chromatography and capillary electrochromatography. The design for capillary liquid chromatography is discussed in comparison with capillary gas chromatography. The difference of diffusion coefficient in gas and liquid phase is a key role. The study for obtaining a high performance capillary liquid chromatography is discussed. Capillary electrochromatography is recently interesting for its instinct ability to realize a high performance chromatography. Capillary electrochromatography with and without pressurized flow is reviewed briefly. Instrumentation for capillary electrochromatography with pressurized flow is discussed. The port of splitting, and gradient elution of both solution and potential are described.

Prediction of Retention in Liquid-Solid Chromatography with Ternary Mobile Phases

The method for the prediction of capacity factors in ternary mobile phases is presented. The adsorption mechanism of retention is considered.

The relations between parameters characterizing retention in ternary and binary mobile phases are discussed. The theoretical model is verified for numerous solutes and different mobile phases.     

Hydrogen Evolution: Electrochemical Pretreatment for Voltammetric Analysis with Gold Electrodes

A pretreatment for gold electrodes is presented in this work. The improvement of the voltammetric responses for gold surfaces is achieved applying an adequate cathodic potential in acidic media which results on vigorous evolution of gas hydrogen at the interface between electrode and electrolyte. The effectiveness of this procedure is evidenced for gold wire electrodes by cyclic voltammetry in several redox systems. The pretreatment is also compared with other activation methods for gold electrodes in electroanalytical and electrochemical terms.     

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy applied on low-alloyed zinc samples

The use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for chemical analysis in the single-shot regime has been investigated for low-alloyed zinc samples. Several parameters that are important for plasma formation has been investigated and their importance for accurate and precise single-shot measurements are discussed. The standard deviation is compared for measurements performed on a day-to-day basis during four days and for a measurement series consisting of five measurements in one day. It was found that the spread is not larger for a measurement series performed on a single day compared to day-to-day basis. The influence of local spatial inhomogeneities of the alloy elements in the sample concentrations is discussed in this context and the reference samples have been investigated with a scanning electron microscopy and light optical microscopy to verify this. It is found that the relative standard deviation of the signal depends to large extent on the sample homogeneity at low concentrations. The importance of spatial averaging for LIBS when doing calibrations is established in this case. The relative error for single-shot measurements will depend on the slope of the analytical curve and increase at lower concentrations.     

The Evaluation of Two-Dimensional Madelung Constant For NaCl Crystal Structure

The following documentation is an evaluation of the two-dimensional Madelung constant for the NaCl structure. The infinite series for the structure is formulted asThe first term in the formula converges to 41n2. The series after K =2 in the second term is put together with the third term and a constant- 4/ 2 is left. The combination of the third term and the series after K=2 in the second term is assumed to be 8 Sn. The converging series Sn can be solved on a computer. The seven significant figures of the two-dimensional Madelung constant for the NaCl structure is then determined as 1. 615558.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative analysis of a synthetic copolymer with antitumor activity (copovithane) and methylamine in human blood plasma and urine

A method for the determination of a synthetic polymeric compound with antitumor activity (copovithane) and methylamine in blood plasma and urine is described. Copovithane is prepared by radical polymerisation of a diurethane with N-vinylpyrrolidone. The method is based on high-performance liquid chromatography of the methylamine hydrochloride which arises during the hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of the parent substance. The methylamine hydrochloride is converted to the trinitrobenzenesulphonyl derivative for the purpose of chromatographic detection. The limit of determination for copovithane in blood plasma is 1.2 mg/l and in urine 1.5 mg/day. The determination limit for methylamine in blood plasma is 0.2 mg/l and in urine 0.3 mg/day. The imprecision is dependent on the sample, and amounts to +/- 6.8% for blood plasma and +/- 6.4% for urine.

Luminescence spectroscopy as a tool for testing of cure kinetics of epoxy resins

In this paper, steady-state luminescence spectroscopy is used for the analysis of curing of epoxy resin. The advantage of this method is its rapidity, simplicity and sensitivity. Moreover, this method is contactless, and thus non-invasive. The aim is to analyze epoxy resin, mathematically describe its curing kinetics and determine its storage temperature. Using the photoluminescence method, a rapid procedure for obtaining the necessary technological data is achieved. This method is suitable for continuous measurement in production because there is no contact with the material, and the measurement itself can be performed very quickly. The elaborated mathematical model can serve as a basis for creating algorithms for automated data processing in case of fully robotic workplaces.     

Medium-size polarized basis sets for high-level-correlated calculations of molecular electric properties

Summary The basis set polarization method is used to derive the first-order polarized basis sets for Ge through Br for calculations of atomic and molecular electric properties. The performance of the [15.12.9/9.7.4] GTO/CGTO basis sets generated in this study is verified in calculations of atomic dipole polarizabilities and dipole moments and polarizabilities of the third-row atom hydrides. Whenever accurate reference data are available for comparison, the excellent performance of the derived first-order polarized basis sets is demonstrated. The role of the core polarization and relativistic contributions to atomic and molecular is also investigated. The detailed basis set data for Ge through Br are given in Appendix.     

Polarographic determination of methyl methacrylate

The permanganate oxidation of methyl methacrylate in weakly acidic solution yields methyl pyruvate. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is used for destroying the excess of permanganate. At the same time it is consumed for oximation of the pyruvate, and the resulting oxime is determined polarographically. The reaction scheme of permanganate oxidation of methyl methacrylate is suggested and optimum working conditions are found both for permanganate oxidation and for polarographic determination. The method is used for the determination of vapours of methyl methacrylate in the air, for industrial hygiene purposes.
