Optical fibre chemical sensor for trace vanadium(V) determination based on newly synthesized palm based fatty hydroxamic acid immobilized in polyvinyl chloride membrane

Fatty hydroxamic acid (FHA) immobilized in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been studied as a sensor element of an optical fibre chemical sensor for V(V). By using this instrument, V(V) in solution has been determined in the log concentration range of 0-2.5 (i.e. 1.0-300 mg/L). The detection limit was 1.0 mg/L. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of the method for the reproducibility study at V(V) concentration of 200 mg/L and 300 mg/L were calculated to be 2.9% and 2.0%, respectively. Interference from foreign ions was also studied at 1:1 mole ratio of V(V):foreign ions. It was found that, Fe(III) ion interfered most in the determination of vanadium(V). Excellent agreement with ICP-AES method was achieved when the proposed method was applied towards determination of V(V).     

Determination of chloride in admixtures and aggregates for cement by a simple flow injection potentiometric system

A simple flow injection system using three 3-way solenoid valves as an electric control injection valve and with a simple home-made chloride ion selective electrode based on Ag/AgCl wire as a sensor for determination of water soluble chloride in admixtures and aggregates for cement has been developed. A liquid sample or an extract was injected into a water carrier stream which was then merged with 0.1M KNO(3) stream and flowed through a flow cell where the solution will be in contact with the sensor, producing a potential change recorded as a peak. A calibration graph in range of 10-100 mg L(-1) was obtained with a detection limit of 2 mg L(-1). Relative standard deviations for 7 replicates injecting of 20, 60 and 90 mg L(-1) chloride solutions were 1.0, 1.2 and 0.6%, respectively. Sample throughput of 60 h(-1) was achieved with the consumption of 1 mL each of electrolyte solution and water carrier. The developed method was validated by the British Standard methods.

Capillary electrophoresis determinations of trace concentrations of inorganic ions in large excess of chloride: soft modelling using artificial neural networks for optimisation of electrolyte composition

In this work, using a combination of experimental design (ED) and artificial neural networks (ANN), the composition of a triethanolamine-buffered chromate electrolyte was optimised for determination of sulphate anions in the presence of high chloride excess. The optimal electrolyte, allowing a baseline-resolved separation of sulphate from chloride present in a 1500 multiple excess in less than 170 s, consists of 10 mmol/L CrO(3), 2 mmol/L hexamethonium hydroxide, 10% methanol, and triethanolamine added to adjust the pH to 8.0. The method is suitable to a wide concentration range of chloride (4-1757 mg/L) and sulphate (4-590 mg/L) with linear calibration plots (R(2) = 0.9937-0.9999). Relative standard deviations are less than 2.0% for both anions for migration times and peak areas. The detection limits (hydrodynamic injection of 1 s) were 0.6 mg/L for sulphate and 0.5 mg/L for chloride. The method was successfully applied to determination of sulphate in mineral waters containing a high chloride concentration and to determination of sulphate traces in an anticancer drug injection preparation containing a physiological level of chloride. It was shown that alpha-cyclodextrin as an electrolyte additive has a significant potential for further increasing the separation selectivity for inorganic anions.

Development of a new flow-through bulk optode for the determination of manganese(III)

A flow-through bulk optode based on the use of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) immobilized in a plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membrane entrapped in a cellulose support, in conjuntion with the flow injection analysis technique, is proposed for the determination of manganese(II). The calibration graph obtained at 570 nm was linear in the range 0.27-27.5 mg L(-1) (5 x 10(-6)-5 x 10(-4) M) Mn(II) with a detection limit of 0.18 mg L(-1). The coefficients of variation of the sensor response for 5.5 mg L(-1) of Mn(II) were +/-0.22% for consecutive measurements (n = 10), +/-0.48% between days (n = 5) and +/-0.38% between different membranes (n = 6). The sensor was readily regenerated with the carrier acetic acid/acetate buffer of pH 4.5. The method was applied to the determination of manganese in steels, waters and lemon tree leaves.     

Determination of volatile fatty acids in landfill leachates by ion-exclusion chromatography

An ion-exclusion chromatographic method with on-line desalinization for the determination of volatile fatty acids in landfill leachates is described. Highly sensitive conductivity detection of the organic acids was achieved by using dilute p-hydroxybenzoic acid solution as an eluent. Interference with mineral acids was reduced by treatment with barium chloride solution prior to desalinization. A silver-loaded cation-exchange guard column for the desalinization was installed in series with the analytical column to avoid the contamination of organic acids. This method features detection limits of 0.01 mg L(-1) formic acid, 0.02 mg L(-1) acetic acid, 0.05 mg L(-1) propionic acid, and 0.1 mg L(-1) butyric acid, respectively, with an injection of 20 microL sample. Application of the on-line desalinization LC method is illustrated for leachate samples from a Japanese sanitary landfill.     

Flow injection spectrophotometric determination of anionic surfactants using methyl orange as chromogenic reagent

A flow injection(FI) spectrophotometric method for the determination of anionic surfactants was developed on the basis of the competition for the cationic surfactant cetyl pyridine (CP+) chloride between the acidic dye methyl orange (MO) and anionic surfactants. In a pH 5.0 medium the cation of cetyl pyridine (CP+) reacts with dissociated methyl orange (MO-) to form an ion-associate complex, causing a blue shift of lambda(max) from 465 nm for MO- to 358 nm for the CP+ x MO- associate. The MO- in the ion-associate complex can be quantitatively substituted by such anionic surfactants as sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (DBS) or sodium lauryl sulfate (LS), leading to an increase in the absorbance measured at 465 nm. This increased absorbance value is proportional to the concentration of anionic surfactants. Various chemical and physical parameters for the FI spectrophotometric method were optimized, and interference-free levels were examined. At the optimized conditions, Beer's law was obeyed in the range 1.4 approximately 25 mg/L sodium DBS for an injected sample volume of 180 microL, and a detection limit of 0.22 mg/L for sodium DBS was achieved at a sampling rate of 90 h(-1). Eleven determinations of a 16 mg/L sodium DBS solution gave a RSD of 0.4%. The proposed method has successfully been applied to the determination of anionic surfactant concentration in waste water and in detergents.

Detection of melamine in milk by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy coupled with magnetic and Raman-labeled nanoparticles

A new method based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been developed for sensitive and rapid detection of melamine. Spherical magnetic-core gold-shell nanoparticles (AuNPs) and rod-shaped gold nanoparticles (nanorods) labeled with a Raman-active compound were used to form a complex with the melamine molecules. 5,5'-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) was used as Raman-active compound because it is readily adsorbed by a gold nanoparticle surface forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) and has strong Raman scattering at 1330 cm(-1), because of the symmetric NO(2) stretch. The calibration curve was obtained by plotting Raman band area at 1330 cm(-1) against melamine concentration. A linear relationship was obtained with a high determination coefficient (R(2)=0.997). The method was validated for linearity, sensitivity, precision (intra-day and inter-day repeatability), and recovery. In the model system, the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.38 and 1.27 mg L(-1), respectively. For melamine-spiked milk samples, LOD and LOQ values were 0.39 mg L(-1) and 1.30 mg L(-1), respectively. Intra and inter-day precision were 3.73 and 4.94 %, respectively. This method was applied to samples of skimmed milk that had been spiked with melamine at different concentrations. The recovery of the method was 95-109 % in the concentration range 2-15 mg L(-1), and average RSD was 1.71 %. Total analysis time was less than 15 min.

Selective recognition of monohydrogen phosphate by fluorescence enhancement of a new cerium complex

Bis(8-hydroxy quinoline-5-solphonate) cerium(III) chloride (Ce(QS)(2)Cl) (L) was synthesized and then used as a novel fluorescent sensor for anion recognition. Preliminarily study showed that fluorescence of L enhanced selectively in the presence of HPO(4)(2-) ion. This enhancement is attributed to a 1:1 complex formation between L and HPO(4)(2-) anion. The association constant of 1:1 complex of L-HPO(4)(2-) was calculated as 3.0×10(6). Thus, L was utilized as a basis for a selective detection of HPO(4)(2-) anion in solution. The linear response range of the proposed fluorescent chemo-sensor covers a concentration range of HPO(4)(2-) from 3.3×10(-7) to 5.0×10(-6) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 2.5×10(-8) mol L(-1). L showed selective and sensitive fluorescence enhancement response toward HPO(4)(2-) ion in comparison with I(3)(-), NO(3)(-), CN(-), CO(3)(2-), Br(-), Cl(-), F(-), H(2)PO(4)(-) and SO(4)(2-) ions. It was probably attributed to the higher stability of the inorganic complex between HPO(4)(2-) ion and L. The method was successfully applied for analysis of phosphate ions in some fertilizers samples.

Development of a fully buffered molybdate electrolyte for capillary electrophoresis with indirect detection and its use for analysis of anions in Bayer liquor

A new counterion-buffered molybdate electrolyte was developed and optimized for simultaneous quantitative determination of up to eight anions (chloride, sulphate, oxalate, fluoride, formate, malonate, succinate, and acetate) in Bayer liquor by capillary electrophoresis with indirect detection at 214 nm. The separation parameters were optimized in respect to separation of the critical analyte group fluoride-formate-malonate, with the optimal electrolyte prepared from molybdic trioxide containing 5.0 mmol/L MoO3, 1.3 mmol/L cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and buffered with diethanolamine (DEA) to pH 9.2 (ca. 20 mM DEA). Total length of separation capillary was 80 cm, resulting in run time of under 4 min. The method is suitable for a wide concentration range of the analytes (1-50 mg/L) with linear calibration plots (R2 = 0.9983-0.9999). Relative standard deviations were 0.05%-0.07% for migration times and 0.67%-2.04% for peak areas. The detection limits were in the range of 0.17-0.51 mg/L or 2-10 micromol/L (hydrostatic injection of 30 s of 1000 x diluted sample). Due to its good buffering capacity, the electrolyte exhibited an excellent ruggedness and good tolerance to the alkaline samples. Consequently, Bayer liquor samples could be diluted as little as 100 x which allows more sensitive determination of minor components over previous methods. The method was successfully applied to analysis of Bayer liquor samples with recoveries in the range of 95-105%.     

Spectrophotometric flow injection methods for zinc determination in pharmaceutical and biological samples.

Zinc ions form a yellow complex with di-2-pyridyl ketone salicyloylhydrazone (DPKSH). This complex showed maximum absorption at 376 nm, and it was used to develop spectrophotometric flow injection methods for Zn(II) determination in different samples. Two types of flow systems were proposed. In the first system, a linear analytical curve was obtained in a concentration range from 0.217 to 4.60 mg L(-1) Zn(II), with a detection limit of 48.8 microg L(-1). In the second system, a minicolumn packed with an anion exchanger resin was used to concentrate Zn(II) as a chlorocomplex, and a linear analytical curve within a concentration range from 0.0824 to 2.06 mg L(-1) Zn(II) was obtained, having a detection limit of 13.9 microg L(-1). The developed methods were applied to biological and pharmaceutical samples, and a great compliance was observed by comparing the results with ones obtained by an atomic absorption technique.     

A simple and very sensitive spectrophotometric method for the direct determination of copper ions

A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the direct determination of copper in aqueous samples without a preconcentration step has been developed. It is based on the formation of a yellow complex with the chromogenic reagent di-2-pyridyl ketone benzoylhydrazone (dPKBH) in an alkaline medium. The complex stoichiometry was 1:2 (Cu:dPKBH) and presents maximum absorbance at 370 nm. The influence of chemical variables affecting the behaviour of the system such as pH, concentration of dPKBH, buffer solution and ethanol, order of addition of the reagents and stability of the complex, were evaluated. The molar absorptivity (epsilon) was 3.92x10(4) L mol(-1) cm(-1), and Beer's law was obeyed up to 3 mg L(-1) of copper. The relative standard deviation was 0.46% (n=11) for a sample containing 1 mg L(-1) Cu(II). The limit of detection was 2.5 micro g L(-1) and was therefore more sensitive than the direct methods reported previously. Finally, the method was successfully validated by analysing several real samples with different matrices, such as tap water, natural water or copper alloys, with an average relative error of 2.46%.     

Reversed flow-injection manifold for the spectrophotometric determination of captopril based on its inhibitory effect on the Co(II)-2,2'-dipyridyl-2-pyridylhydrazone complex formation

The present work reports a new, simple and rapid reversed flow-injection (r-FI) method for the accurate and precise spectrophotometric determination of captopril (CPL) in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on the inhibitory effect of CPL on the complex formation of Co(II) with 2,2'-dipyridyl-2-pyridylhydrazone (DPPH). The chemical and FI variables were studied and optimized. The calibration graph was linear in the range 0-250 mg l(-1) CPL, at a sampling rate of 60 injections per hour. The method was found to be very precise [s(r)=0.8% at 100.0 mg l(-1) CPL (n=12)] and the 3sigma detection limit (c(L)=2.5 mg l(-1)) was quite satisfactory. Its application to commercially available pharmaceuticals produced excellent results, with a mean relative error of e(r)<1.0%.
