Simple Device for Isolation of Organic Compounds from Water

Abstract

A simple device for isolation of organic compounds from aqueous samples has been designed and its operating parameters tested during bioth periodic and continuous operation using isolation of organochlorine compounds as an example.

A stream of an aqueous sample is pumped at elevated temperature by a piston pump to an unit for expransion of the liquid phase surface, where the liquid is sprayed on the walls of the unit and flows down freely.

Organochlorine compounds passing to the gaseous phase are purged with a stream of purified air, oxidied and the chlorides formed are determined coulometrically. The designed device, due to its simplicity, can be built and employed in each averagely equipped laboratory.

Flow-through coulometry as a calibrationless method in inorganic trace analysis

The possibility of calibration-less determination of trace concentrations of some electrochemically active elements such as Ag, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, etc. by flow-through coulometry is described. The analyte species are collected quantitative-ly from the flowing sample solution on a porous working electrode made of vi- treous carbon particles set at either a constant potential or constant current. The deposit is stripped by a constant current in the next step and the correspond- ing electrical charge is measured and evaluated. The analyte concentration is calculated by making use of the com- bined Faraday’s laws of electrolysis. The method exerts detection limits about 1 μg/l or lower and a linear concentration range over 3 orders of magnitude.

Coulometric redox titrations of some biologically active thiols with iodine in methanol and bromine in acetic acid

The possibility of coulometric titrations of cysteine, 2-thio-uracil, 6-mercaptopurine, and 6-thioguanine with iodine and bromine in methanol and with bromine in acetic acid has been investigated. Conditions have been found for the direct titration of the test substances with iodine in methanol based on their 1-electron oxidation to the corresponding disulphides and for their direct and indirect determination with bromine in acetic acid based on their 6-electron oxidation to the corresponding sulphonic acids.On leave from Department of Analytical Chemistry, Charles University, Prague, Czechoslovakia     

Studies on controlled potential coulometric determination of gallium in sodium perchlorate and sodium thiocyanate

Controlled potential coulometric (CPC) studies were carried out for developing a method to determine gallium at milligram levels, in the mixed supporting electrolyte medium (4 M NaClO₄ + 0.5 M NaSCN), employing stirring mercury as a working electrode. Investigations for optimization of working electrode potentials, quantity of charge, level of background current and electrolysis time for achieving quantitative reduction of Ga(III) to Ga and its oxidation back to Ga(III), were undertaken. Effect of gallium content and interference of zinc in of gallium determination were also studied. The developed methodology was employed for the determination of gallium in pure Ga as well as in synthetic U + Ga mixture solutions. Accuracy and precision values of better than 0.5% were obtained at 1-2 mg levels.     

Thallium(I) iodate solubility product and iodic acid dissociation constant from 2 to 75°C

Using methods of potentiostatic coulometry, the solubility of thallium(I) iodate in 0.1m sodium perchlorate and in 0.1m perchloric acid was determined over the temperature range 2–75°C. Thermodynamic functions were calculated for the dissociation of thallium(I) iodate into its aqueous ions. From the solubilities in the acid solutions the dissociation constant of iodic acid was calculated over the temperature range, along with the value of –1.83±0.07 kcal-mol^–1 for the standard enthalpy change for the dissociation.

Nucleophilic Addition of Thiaproline to Electrochemically Derived o‐Quinone,Application to the Sensitive Voltammetric Detection of Thiaproline

The mechanism of electrochemical behavior of catechol in the presence of thiaproline is investigated by cyclic voltammetry, controlled‐potential coulometry and spectrophotometric tracing of the reaction coordinate. The results indicate that thiaproline participate in with an ECEC mechanism in a nucleophilic (Michael) addition to o‐quinone. Effect of pH of buffer solution on reaction pathway is studied and showed that addition of thiaproline to the o‐quinone is performed only in solutions with pHs higher than 5. These results indicate that the addition of thiaproline is occurred first from amine functional group. In the second step, the addition of carboxylate group of thiaproline to C‐5 of catechol results the final product with a lactone ring in its structure. Observation of two isosbestic point in absorption spectrum during the progress of the electrolysis together with the FT‐IR results for final product can be presented as evidence for two step addition of thiaproline to catechol. Final product, due to the electron donor property of thiaproline, more easily oxidized respect to the former catechol and as a result, a new redox couple is obtained for this compound in lower potentials. The easier anodic oxidation of addition product (relative to catechol) caused to an increase in anodic current for catechol, which is proportional to the thiaproline concentration. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) is applied as a sensitive voltammetric method for the detection of thiaproline. A linear range from 5×10^?8 to 5×10^?6 M with a detection limit of 1×10^?8 M is resulted for thiaproline. With respect to the reversibility of the electrochemical reactions in the mechanism, and also more facile oxidation of the addition products, the square‐wave voltammetry is presented as a method with considerably more sensitivity for the detection of sub‐micromolar amounts of thiaproline. The advantageous properties of the voltammetric method for thiaproline detection lie in its excellent catalytic activity, sensitivity and simplicity.
