Titration of cyanide and hexacyanoferrate(II) with silver nitrate-I Calculation of titration curves for potentiometric and conductometric titration

Stepwise potentiometric titration of cyanide and hexacyanoferrate(II) with silver nitrate is possible in the absence of potassium ions. At an initial concentration below 5.00 x 10(-4)M, cyanide can be titrated with silver nitrate (Ag:CN = 1:2) and the end-point indicated by precipitation of silver hexacyanoferrate(II); hexacyanoferrate(II) can be titrated with silver nitrate (Ag: Fe(CN)(6) = 4:1) and the end-point indicated by precipitation of silver dicyanoargentate. The hexacyanoferrate(II) reacts with silver to form two poorly soluble salts, Ag(4)Fe(CN)(6), KAg(3)Fe(CN)(6). The formation of these salts has been confirmed by conductometric titration of hexacyanoferrate(II) with silver nitrate in solutions containing varying concentrations of potassium nitrate.

Conductometric titration with indicating resistance--IV: the use of membranes with some organic and inorganic acids as active components, for HCl titration in a highly conducting medium

Membranes consisting of a methyl polymethacrylate or collodion support containing sparingly soluble inorganic or organic acids can be used for end-point detection in acid-base titrations in high-conductivity media. The collodion + Na(3)[As(Mo(3)O(10))(4)].nH(2)O + Na-Alassion CS membrane is a very good conductometric sensor if given preliminary treatment to form molybdic acid. The conductivity jump with this membrane starts at pH approximately 7 and permits titration of strong acid down to 10(-4)M concentration in highly conducting medium. Similar membranes containing some organic acids such as benzoic, o-chlorobenzoic, and o-phthalic also behave as conductometric sensors, giving a conductivity change at a ph which depends on the dissociation constant of the organic acid used and on the way it interacts with the support and the conducting medium used.     

Separation of polythionates and the gold thiosulfate complex in gold thiosulfate leach solutions by ion-interaction chromatography

A method for the separation of the polythionates (SxO6(2-), x = 3-5) in gold thiosulfate leach solutions using ion-interaction chromatography with conductivity and ultraviolet (UV) detection is described. Polythionates were eluted within 18 min using an eluent comprising an acetonitrile step gradient at 0.0 min from 15% v/v to 28% v/v, 3 mM TBAOH, and 2.5 mM sodium carbonate, operated using a Dionex NS1-5 micron column with guard. The developed method was capable of separating the gold thiosulfate complex ion in standard solutions, but quantification of this species in realistic leach solutions proved impractical due to a self-elution effect that caused the gold peak to be eluted as a broad band. Detection limits for polythionates using a 10 microL injection volume ranged between 1-6 mg L(-1) (5-23 microM) for conductivity and 0.8-13 mg L(-1) (4-68 microM) for UV detection, based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 2. Calibration was linear over the ranges 5-2000, 10-2000 and 25-2500 mg L(-1) for trithionate, tetrathionate and pentathionate, respectively. The technique was applied successfully to leach liquors containing 0.5 M ammonium thiosulfate, 2 M ammonia, 0.05 M copper sulfate and 20 % m/v gold ore.

Potentiometric titrations using dual microband electrodes.

We present a novel method of analysis using potentiometric end-point detection and dual microband electrodes in generator-collector mode. The titrant is electrogenerated using either a constant current or a current that increases linearly with time, and the fluxes of reactive material rather than molar amounts are balanced. The advantage of the ramp current system over the constant current method is that all of the information needed for a full titration curve and a proper analysis can be obtained during a single scan. The method was applied to the determination of vitamin C with ferricyanide and to the determination of thiosulfate and sulfite with iodine using gold microband electrodes. As a new type of analysis, a potentiometric titration that uses dissolving silver microband electrodes in order to generate the titrant is demonstrated. The system was applied to the detection of chloride, iodide, thiosulfate and cyanide. The accuracy of the analysis is +/-10%, limited mainly by the present screen-printing process, and the method is well adapted for measurements on the millimolar scale.     

Application of isotachophoretic and conductometric methods for neomycin trisulphate determination

Determination of neomycin trisulphate (NMS) in a dosage form (Neox and Neosol) was carried out by capillary isotachophoresis (cITP) with conductometric detection. The following electrolytes: leading: 10 mmol dm⁻³ sodium acetate + 0.08 % hydroxyethylcelulose (HEC) and acetic acid to pH = 5.5, and terminating: 10 mmol dm⁻³ β-alanine were tested for isotachophoretic separation of NMS. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 10.00 mg dm⁻³ to 100.00 mg dm⁻³ with LOD = 5.69 mg dm⁻³ and LOQ = 18.96 mg dm⁻³. The results were compared to the conductometric determination of NMS with: ammonium molybdate (VI), silver nitrate (V) and Reinecke salt. Good accuracy was obtained from conductometric titration of NMS with Reinecke salt, the recoveries being as follows: 100 % (RSD = 1.99 %); 96.17 % (RSD = 2.10 %) and 95.22 % (RSD = 1.55 %) for NMS in pure form, Neosol and Neox, respectively.     

Atomic absorption spectroscopic, conductometric and colorimetric methods for determination of some fluoroquinolone antibacterials using ammonium reineckate

Three accurate, rapid and simple atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS), conductometric and colorimetric methods were developed for the determination of gatifloxacin (GTF), moxifloxacin (MXF) and sparfloxacin (SPF). The proposed methods depend upon the reaction of ammonium reineckate with the studied drugs to form stable precipitate of ion-pair complexes, which was dissolved in acetone. The pink coloured complexes were determined either by AAS or colorimetrically at lambda(max) 525 nm directly using the dissolved complex. Using conductometric titration, the studied drugs could be evaluated in 50% (v/v) acetone. The optimizations of various experimental conditions were described. Optimum concentration ranges for the determination of GTF, MXF and SPF were 5.0-150, 40-440 microg mL(-1) and 0.10-1.5 mg mL(-1) using atomic absorption (AAS), conductometric and colorimetric methods, respectively. Detection and quantification limits are ranges from 1.5 to 2.3 microg mL(-1) using AAS method or 30-45 microg mL(-1) using colorimetric method. The proposed procedures have been applied successfully to the analysis of these drugs in pharmaceutical formulations and the results are favourably comparable to the reference methods.

Conductometric titration study of the reactions of some trialkylphosphines with bromine,iodine and iodine bromide

The reactions of tributyl-, trioctyl-, and tricyclohexyl-phosphine with bromine, iodine and iodine bromide have been studied by conductometric titration in acetonitrile. In general, evidence was obtained for the formation, in solution, of highly conducting 0.5 : 1, 1 : 1, and 2 : 1 adducts. The 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 adducts (R₃PX₂ and R₃PX₄) were isolated and the electrolytic conductivity of their acetonitrile solutions measured. Values of molar conductivity are reported; these point to strong electrolyte behaviour, hence the 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 adducts must be formulated as the phosphonium salts, R₃PX⁺X^? and R₃PX⁺X₃^? respectively.     

Conductometric titration with indicating resistance-III Mechanism of the PVC + Alassion CS (Cationite R-H) + dioctyl phthalate (plasticizer) membrane as indicating resistance

The problem of conductometric acid-base titration in a highly-conducting medium (5M sodium chloride) has been solved by introducing a PVC + Alassion CS + dioctyl phthalate membrane between the two electrodes. The equivalence point is marked by a sudden decrease in conductivity. The membrane (obtained by plasticization at 175 degrees ) functions through the phthalic acid dissolved in the PVC membrane, this acid being formed by decomposition of the dioctyl phthalate by the sulphonic acid groups of the cation-exchanger. In this process the sulphonic acid groups are esterified, but hydrolyse on being treated for 2-3 hr with NaOH, and then increase the conductivity in the membrane.     

Applications involving oxidation with ethanolic iodine. Rapid potentiometric method for some reductants

Rapid potentiometric method was adopted for the determination of small amounts of hexacyanoferrate(II), thiosulfate, thiocyanate, and ascorbic acid, based on oxidation with ethanolic iodine at different pH values and subsequently titration of iodide with mercury(II) using silver amalgam as indicator electrode. The potential breaks at the vicinity of the endpoints were sharp enough for their accurate detection. The method provides for accurate determination of small amounts of some reductants of analytical importance.     

Trace analysis of acids and bases by conductometric titration with multiparametric non-linear regression

A chemometric method for analysis of conductometric titration data was introduced to extend its applicability to lower concentrations and more complex acid-base systems. Auxiliary pH measurements were made during the titration to assist the calculation of the distribution of protonable species on base of known or guessed equilibrium constants. Conductivity values of each ionized or ionizable species possibly present in the sample were introduced in a general equation where the only unknown parameters were the total concentrations of (conjugated) bases and of strong electrolytes not involved in acid-base equilibria. All these concentrations were adjusted by a multiparametric nonlinear regression (NLR) method, based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. This first conductometric titration method with NLR analysis (CT-NLR) was successfully applied to simulated conductometric titration data and to synthetic samples with multiple components at concentrations as low as those found in rainwater (∼10 μmol L⁻¹). It was possible to resolve and quantify mixtures containing a strong acid, formic acid, acetic acid, ammonium ion, bicarbonate and inert electrolyte with accuracy of 5% or better.     

Application of a contactless conductometric detector for the simultaneous determination of small anions and cations by capillary electrophoresis with dual-opposite end injection

A contactless conductometric detection (CCD) system for capillary electrophoresis (CE) with a flexible detection cell was applied for the simultaneous determination of small anions and/or cations in rain, surface and drainage water samples. The applied frequency, the amplitude of the input signal, the electrolyte conductivity and electrode distance were found to be the most significant factors affecting the detection sensitivity. 2-(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid/histidine-based (MES/His) electrolytes were used for direct conductivity detection of anions and cations, while ammonium acetate was selected for indirect conductivity determination of alkylammonium salts. For the simultaneous separation procedure, involving dual-opposite end injection, an electrolyte consisting of 20 mM MES/His, 1.5 mM 18-crown-6 and 20 microM cetyltrimethylammonium bromide provided baseline separation of 13 anions and cations in less than 6 min. The detection limits achieved were 7-30 micrograms/l for direct conductometric detection of various common inorganic cations and anions, excluding F- (62 micrograms/l) and H2PO4- (250 micrograms/l), and 35-178 micrograms/l for indirect conductometric detection of alkyl ammonium cations. The developed electrophoretic method with conductometric detection was compared to ion chromatography.     

Separation of thiosulfate and the polythionates in gold thiosulfate leach solutions by capillary electrophoresis

A technique for the separation of thiosulfate (S(2)O(3) (2-)), polythionates (S(x)O(6) (2-), x = 3 to 5) and the gold(I) thiosulfate complex (Au(S(2)O(3))(2) (3-)) using capillary electrophoresis with simultaneous UV detection at 195 and 214 nm is presented. The five species were separated in under 3 min with a total analysis time of 8 min, using an electrolyte containing 25 mM 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2',2"-nitrilotriethanol (bis-tris) adjusted to pH 6.0 with sulfuric acid and an applied voltage of -30 kV. While the gold(I) thiosulfate complex could be separated from the other analytes of interest under these conditions, the quantification of this complex was not possible due to inconsistent peak areas and peak splitting effects induced by the sulfur-oxygen species in the leach matrix. Detection limits calculated for 3s pressure injection at 50 mbar ranged between 0.5-2 microM. The method was linear over the ranges 40-8000, 10-2000, 10-2000, and 5-2000 microM for thiosulfate, trithionate, tetrathionate, and pentathionate, respectively. The technique was applied successfully to leach liquors containing 0.5 M ammonium thiosulfate, 2 M ammonia, 0.05 M copper sulfate and 20% w/v gold ore, diluted 1:100 prior to analysis.     

Precise coulometric titration of sodium thiosulfate and development of potassium iodate as a redox standard

In this paper, we determine the effective purity of potassium iodate as a redox standard with a certified value linked to the international system of units (SI units). Concentration measurement of sodium thiosulfate solution was performed by precise coulometric titration with electrogenerated iodine, and an assay of potassium iodate was carried out by gravimetric titration based on the reductometric factor of sodium thiosulfate assigned by coulometry. The accuracy of the coulometric titration method was evaluated by examining the current efficiency of iodine electrogeneration, stability of sodium thiosulfate solutions and dependence on the amount of sodium thiosulfate solution used. The measurement procedure for gravimetric titration of potassium iodate with sodium thiosulfate was validated based on determination of a reference material of known purity (potassium dichromate determined by coulometry with electrogenerated ferrous ions) using the same gravimetric method. Solutions of 0.2 and 0.5 mol/L sodium thiosulfate were stable over 17 days without stabilizer. Investigation of the dependency of titration results on the amount of sodium thiosulfate solution used showed no significant effects, no evidence of diffusion of the sample, and no effect of contamination appearing during the experiment. Precise coulometric titration of sodium thiosulfate achieved a relative standard deviation of less than 0.005% under repeating conditions (six measurements). For gravimetric titration, the results obtained for the effective purity of potassium dichromate were sufficiently close to its certified value to allow confirmation of the validity of the gravimetric titration was confirmed. The relative standard deviation of gravimetric titration for potassium iodate was less than 0.011% (nine measurements), and a redox standard with a certified value linked to SI units was developed.     

Biotinylation of TiO(2) nanoparticles and their conjugation with streptavidin

Photoactive TiO(2) can be used to mediate a variety of disinfection processes. It was postulated that TiO(2) particles could be directed to specific targets of interest using biotin/streptavidin linkages. Biotinylated TiO(2) nanoparticles (anatase) were obtained by treating TiO(2) nanoparticles with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) in anhydrous DMSO, followed by reaction with N-hydroxysuccinimidobiotin. 29Si CP-MAS NMR, 13C CP-MAS NMR, and FTIR spectra showed that biotin was covalently bound to the TiO(2) surface. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that prolonging the silanization reaction times led to increasingly thick silsesquioxane coating layers of up to approximately 10 nm. The specific surface area (SSA) of the TiO2 particles decreased from 16 m(2) g(-1) before treatment to 9.1 m(2) g(-1) after aminosilanization and to 8.4 m(2) g(-)1 after biotinylation, as measured by nitrogen adsorption. Amino surfaces modified for 4, 16, and 26 h had total amino group densities ranging from 2.9 to 26 to 66 nm(-2), respectively, whereas accessible surface amino group densities ranged from 2.7 to 10 to 17 nm(-2) as shown from nitrogen adsorption, polyelectrolyte titration, conductometric titration, and biotin assays. Not all the amino groups were accessible for biotinylation: the densities of active biotin were found to be 2.1, 7.0, and 11.5 nm(-2). The ability of the attached biotin to bind to streptavidin was demonstrated by confocal microscopy with the use of fluorescently labeled streptavidin-FITC. Although streptavidin was readily able to bind to biotinylated TiO(2) particles, it did not act as a strong flocculating agent for the biotinylated TiO2 particles. The implications of these observations, with respect to particle accessibility to tethered streptavidin, are discussed.     

Conductometric determination of the concentration of acid centers on functionalized materials

The potentialities of conductometric titration were investigated for the study of protolytically active groups using organosilicas with immobilized acid groups of different types as an example. The methods of conductometric and pH-metric titration were compared in determining the concentrations of these groups. It was found that pH metry was mainly applicable to the determination of strongly acid groups of organosilicas, whereas conductometric titration can be applied to the determination of all types of test materials. It was shown that conductometry is a promising method for estimating the energetic heterogeneity of the immobilized layer and the concentration of functional groups on the surface of organosilicas.
