Abstract

A new and convenient method for the rapid determination of aluminum in drinking waters using a.c. oscillopolarography in a lithium chloride system is described in this paper. The calibration graph is linear from 5 × 10^?6 to 8 × 10^?5 mol/L with a detection limit of 5 × 10^?6 mol/L. The relative standard deviation of the method is 4.7% for 4 × 10^?5 mol/L Al. Compared with other techniques, this method has the significant advantages of simple instrumentation, no deaeration procedure required and rapid measurement. It was particularly suitable to the analysis of 10^?6 ~ 10^?5 mol/L levels of Al in drinking waters.

Indirect Voltammetric Determination of Aluminum in Environmental and Biological Samples in the Presence of the Aluminum Chelating Drugs

A simple indirect method using aluminum chelating drugs as electroactive complexation ligands for the voltammetric determination of aluminum in environmental and biological samples on glassy carbon working electrode is studied. In the range of pH 8–9, desferrioxamine (DFO), 1,2‐dimethy‐3‐hydroxypyrid‐4‐one (Hdmp), 3‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one (Hma) and 2,3‐dihydroxypyridine (DHP) yielded good anodic peaks. It was demonstrated that the decrease of the anodic peak current of the drugs was linear with the increase of aluminum concentration. Among them, Hdmp was found the best complexible ligand and chosen for the voltammetric determination of aluminum with EDTA as chelant, which was used for masking most of the interferences. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear range for determination of Al by Hdmp was 5×10^?7–3×10^?5 mol L^?1 Al(III), the detection limit was 2×10^?7 mol L^?1, and the relative standard deviation for 3×10^?6 mol L^?1 Al(III) was 2.6% (n=7). The proposed method was applied to the determination of Al in real water samples and biological samples. The Al concentration in serum samples can be measured directly without time‐consuming digestion pretreatment.     

Direct Determination of Labile Monomeric Aluminum in Natural Waters By A.C. Oscillopolarography in the Presence of Rubeanic Acid

ABSTRACT

A simple and sensitive electrochemical method for the direct determination of labile (monomeric inorganic Al speciation) Al concentration in natural waters is developed in this paper. It is based on the use of a.c. oscillopolarography in the presence of rubeanic acid (RA). The optimal experimental conditions are: 1 mol/L NaAc-HAc buffer (pH 5.4) and a RA concentration of 6x10^?4 mol/L. The response is linear over the 2x10^?7 to 2x10^?6 mol/L concentration range. The detection limit is 1x10^?7 mol/L and the relative standard deviation (at the 1.2 x 10^?6 mol/L level) is 5.5%. The method has been applied to the direct determination of labile monomeric Al concentrations in various natural samples. The results were verified by the classic ion exchange method.     

Flow‐Through Potentiometric Sensors for Alizarin Red S Dye and Their Application for Aluminum Determination

Novel selective and sensitive poly (vinyl chloride) membrane sensors are developed for measuring alizarin red S (AR) based on the use of aliquate 336, Mg^IIphthalocyanine (MgPc), Cu^IIphthalocyanine (CuPc) and Fe^II phthalocyanine (FePc) plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) membrane. The sensors display Nernestian response with slopes of ‐50.6 ± 0.6 , ‐37.4 ± 0.5 , ‐37.7 ± 0.8 and ‐35.0 ± 0.7 mV decade^?1 over the range of 5.2 × 10^?6 to 1 × 10^?2 mol L^?1 for all of them and detection limits of 5.9 × 10^?7, 1.9 × 10‐^?6 2.3 × 10^?6 and 1.9 × 10^?6 mol L^?1 for aliquate, MgPc, CuPc and FePc membrane based sensor, respectively. The sensors exhibit long life span, long term potential stability, high reproducibility, fast response and good discrimination ability towards alizarinate ion in comparison with many other anions. A tubular detector based on aliquate, MgPc, CuPc and FePc was further developed and coupled to a flow‐injection system for alizarin (AR) determination. Under optimized conditions, the linearity range is 1.0 × 10^?5‐ 1.0 × 10^?1 mol L^?1, with a slope of ‐52.1 ± 0.8, 20.9 ± 0.7, 23.6 ± 0.4 and 25 ± 1.1 mV decade^?1 and a reproducibility of ± 0.8 mV (n = 6) for aliquate, MgPc, CuPc and FePc membrane based sensors, respectively. The sensor based on aliquate is further utilized for a potentiodynamic quantification of aluminum in sludge samples and deodorants. The buffered solution of alizarin was allowed to react in a flow system with aluminum. The calibration curve of Al was found to be linear over a concentration range of 0.1 to 1.8 and 1.0 ‐ 40 μg mL^?1 with a slope = 16.9 (r² = 0.993) and 1.76 (r² = 0.994) mV (μg/mL)^?1 and a detection limit of 0.08 and 0.5 μg mL^?1 for 10^?4 and 10^?3 mol L^?1 AR^? as a carrier, respectively. The method was successfully used for determining aluminum in sludge samples and deodorants. The data agree fairly well the nominal values and with results obtain by continuous flow hydride generation inductively coupled plasma (ICP) method.

Indirect Differential Pulse Voltammetric Determination of Aluminum Biological Samples in the Presence of 3, 4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine

ABSTRACT

Indirect differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) determination of aluminum in the presence of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) with glass carbon electrode as working electrode has been described. The method relies on the decrease of DPV anodic peak current of L-dopa with the addition of Al^III The decreasing value of the peak current is linear with the increase of Al^III concentration. Under the optimum experimental conditions (pH 4.8, 6×10^?4 M L-dopa, 0.06M NaAc - HAc ¹buffer solution), the linear ranges are 4.0×10^?7 - 5.2×10^?6 M and 7.2×10^?6 - 4.5×10^?5 M. The relative standard deviation for 8×10^?6 M aluminum is 1.0% (n = 8) and the detection limit is 3.5×10^?7 M. A number of foreign species for interference have been studied. The method has been applied to determine aluminum in drinking water, synthetic renal dialysate and urine samples.     

An Experimental Design for Simultaneous Determination of Carbendazim and Fenamiphos by Electrochemical Method

This study is aimed to develop an electroanalytical methodology using a boron‐doped diamond electrode (BDD) associated with experimental design in order to determine simultaneously and selectively carbendazin (CBZ) and fenamiphos (FNP) pesticides. In previous studies oxidation peaks were observed at 1.10 V (CBZ) and 1.20 V (FNP), respectively, with characteristics of irreversible processes controlled by diffusion of species (in pH 2.0 (CBZ) and pH 3.5 (FNP)) using a BR buffer 0.1 mol L^?1 as support electrolyte. The differences between the potentials for both pesticides, (about 100 mV) indicate the possibility of selective determination of FNP and CBZ. However, employing an equimolar mixture of analytes, the peaks overlap to form a single oxidation peak. Thus, we used a 3⁴ full factorial design with four parameters to be analyzed in three levels, in order to obtain the optimized parameters for the separation of the peaks. The best separation conditions were pH 5.0, square wave frequency of 300 s^?1, pulse amplitude of 10 mV and scan increment of 2 mV. These parameters were used to obtain the calibration curves of CBZ and FNP. For CBZ the analytical curve was obtained in the concentration range of 4.95×10^?6 to 6.90×10^?5 mol L^?1 with good sensitivity and linearity (0.175 A/mol L^?1 and 0.999, respectively). The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 1.6×10^?6 mol L^?1 and 5.5×10^?6 mol L^?1, respectively. For FNP the linear concentration interval was 4.95×10^?6 to 3.67×10^?5 mol L^?1, with a sensitivity of 0,207 A/mol L^?1 and linearity of 0.996. The LOD and LOQ were 4.1×10^?6 mol L^?1 and 13.7×10^?6 mol L^?1, respectively. Using these experimental conditions it was possible to separate the oxidation peaks of CBZ (E_p=1.08 V) and FNP (E_p=1.23 V). The electroanlytical method was applied in lemon juice samples. The recovery values were 110.0 % and 92.5 % for CBZ and FNP, respectively. The results showed that the developed method is suitable for application in foodstuff samples.

An electroanalytical method, based on derivative chronopotentiometry of the iron complex with 2-(5′-bromo-2′- pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) accumulated adsorptively on the surface of a hanging mercury drop electrode, for determining trace iron in food has been developed. The dependences of the peak height on the dt/dE vs. E curve on the preconcentration time, preconcentration potential and electrode area are discussed. Optimum experimental conditions include 0.005 mol 1^?1 NH₃NH₄Cl, 2 × 10^?7 mol 1^?1 5-Br-PADAP and a preconcentration potential of ?0.40 V (vs. SCE). Under these conditions, the detection limit and the linear range are 2 × 10^?9 and 6.7 × 10^?9?1.7 × 10^?7 mol 1^?1, respectively. The relative standard error of the method is 1.5% for 6.7 × 10^?8 mol 1^?1 Fe(III). The method was applied to samples of microwave digested food.     

Electrocatalytic Reduction of Peroxy Disulfate on the Palladized Aluminum Electrode Modified by Prussian Blue: Application to the Analysis of Decolorizing Powders

The mechanism of catalytic reduction of peroxydisulfate on the palladized aluminum electrode modified by Prussian blue (PB/Pd‐Al) was studied. The charge transfer‐rate limiting step as well as overall reduction reaction of S₂O₈^2? is found to be a one‐electron and two‐electron abstraction respectively. The modified electrode is exploited for the hydrodynamic amperometry of peroxydisulfate. It is found that the calibration graph is linear in the S₂O₈^2?concentration range 5×10^?6–1.5×10^?3 mol L^?1. The detection limit of the method was 2.4×10^?6 mol L^?1 S₂O₈². The method was successfully used for the determination of S₂O₈^2? in decolorizing powders     

Fabrication of chemically modified carbon paste electrode based on functionalized biopolymer for potentiometric determination of Al (III) ion in real water and pharmaceutical samples

Carbon paste electrode modified with Carboxymethyl chitosan-graft-poly(1-cyanoethanoyl-4-acryloyl-thiosemcarbazide)copolymers(CMCS-PCEATS) as ionophore was constructed for potentiometric determination of aluminum (III) and the chelation between the ionophore and the aluminum (III) ions at the electrode surface was characterized using SEM, EDX, and IR analysis. Thermal stability of the prepared electrode before and after chelation with the metal ion was investigated. The highest performance was obtained with the electrode modified with 10 mg of the prepared copolymers plasticized with TCP (electrode I). Under the optimized provision, the electrode I shows Nernstian slope of 19.9?±?0.36 mV decade^??1 over the concentration range from 1.0?×?10^??6 to 1.0?×?10^??2 mol L^??1 with a detection limit of 1.0?×?10^??6 mol L^??1 and pH ranges from 3 to 8. The paste is enough stable for 37 days without any detected change in the potential. The proposed method is more potent in determination of Al(III) in both real water and pharmaceutical samples potentiometrically. The results obtained agreed with those obtained with spectrophotometer and inductive coupled plasma (ICP).     

Determination of Butylated Hydroxyanisole by Briggs‐Rauscher Oscillating Reaction Catalyzed by a Macrocyclic Nickel (II) Complex

A novel analytical approach for quantitative measurement of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is dis‐ cussed in this paper. Such a method depends on the inhibitory effect of BHA on a Briggs‐Rauscher (B‐R) oscillating reaction. Unlike the classical B‐R system which involves Mn²⁺ as the catalyst, such a B‐R sys‐ tem is catalyzed by a macrocyclic nickel (II) complex [NiL](ClO₄)₂, where L in the complex is an unsatu‐ rated ligand 5,7,7,12,14,14‐hexemethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradeca‐4,11‐diene. By perturbation of BHA on the system, the oscillation was inhibited in the presence trace amounts of BHA and the inhibition time was found to be proportional to the concentration of BHA over the range 1.00×10^?7–1.20×10^?4 mol/L. Two calibration curves were obtained: the first linear regression is over the range of 1.00×10^?7–2.00×10^?6 mol/L, and the second linear regression is over the range between 2.00×10^?6 and 1.20×10^?4 mol/L, with a lowest limit of detection of 4.00×10^?8 mol/L. UV spectra measurements were employed to clarify the possible perturbation mechanism caused by BHA on the B‐R oscillating reaction.     

A Simple Approach to Simultaneous Electroanalytical Quantification of Acetaminophen and Tramadol Using a Boron‐doped Diamond Electrode in the Existence of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

The present work describes the individual, selective and simultaneous quantification of acetaminophen (ACP) and tramadol hydrochloride (TRA) using a modification‐free boron‐doped diamond (BDD) electrode. Cyclic voltammetric measurements revealed that the profile of the binary mixtures of ACP and TRA were manifested by two irreversible oxidation peaks at about +1.04 V (for ACP) and +1.61 V (for TRA) in Britton‐Robinson (BR) buffer pH 3.0. TRA oxidation peak was significantly improved in the presence of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), while ACP signal did not change. By employing square‐wave stripping mode in BR buffer pH 3.0 containing 8×10^?4 mol L^?1 SDS after 30 s accumulation under open‐circuit voltage, the BDD electrode could be used for quantification of ACP and TRA simultaneously in the ranges 1.0–70 μg mL^?1 (6.6×10^?6–4.6×10^?4 mol L^?1) and 1.0–70 μg mL^?1 (3.3×10^?6–2.3×10^?4 mol L^?1), with detection limits of 0.11 μg mL^?1 (7.3×10^?7 mol L^?1) and 0.13 μg mL^?1 (4.3×10^?7 mol L^?1), respectively. The practical applicability of the proposed approach was tested for the individual and simultaneous quantification of ACP and/or TRA in the pharmaceutical dosage forms.     

Pattern Recognition of Sweeteners in Biological Fluids,Beverages, and Ketchup using Stochastic Sensors

Three stochastic sensors based on nanodiamond (nDP) paste modified with α, β, and γ‐cyclodextrin were designed and characterized for pattern recognition of aspartame, acesulfame K and sodium cyclamate in beverages, ketchup, and biological fluids. The linear concentration ranges obtained for acesulfame K (between 1.00×10^?10 mol L^?1and 1.00×10^?3 mol L^?1), for aspartame (between 1.00×10^?12 mol L^?1 and 1.00×10^?3 mol L^?1) and for sodium cyclamate (between 4.97×10^?12 mol L^?1 and 4.97×10^?3 mol L^?1) allow their assay in biological fluids, beverages and ketchup. The lowest limits of quantification were obtained using the stochastic sensor based on γ‐CD/nDP: for acesulfame K 1.00×10^?10 mol L^?1, for aspartame 1.00×10^?12 mol L^?1 and for sodium cyclamate 4.97×10^?12 mol L^?1. All three stochastic sensors revealed very high values of sensitivities. The proposed method was reliable for qualitative and quantitative assay of aspartame, acesulfame K and sodium cyclamate in beverages, ketchup, and in biological fluids such as urine.     

Study on Diffusion Mechanisms and Determination of Dihydroxybenzene Isomers at the Pre‐anodized Inlaying Ultrathin Carbon Paste Electrode

In this paper, nichrome was adopted as a substrate, to fabricate the pre‐anodized inlaying ultrathin carbon paste electrode (PAIUCPE). The electrochemical behaviors and diffusion mechanisms of three dihydroxybenzene isomers at the electrode were carefully investigated. The effect of pH on oxidation peak current was also detailedly explained. The results were shown that oxidation peak current not only related to the reaction of electroactive materials at the working electrode, but also depended on the reaction variable of reduction at the auxiliary electrode. The oxidation peaks of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC) and resorcinol (RC) located at 0.181 V, 0.288 V and 0.736 V. For CC, RC and HQ, the oxidation peak currents were linear to the concentrations at the range of 5.0 × 10^?6～5.0 × 10^?4 mol/L, 3.0 × 10^?6～5.0 × 10^?4 mol/L and 4.0 × 10^?6～4.0 × 10^?4 mol/L with the detection limits of 2.0 × 10^?7 mol/L, 1.2 × 10^?7 mol/L and 1.2 × 10^?7 mol/L, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied in the simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers in artificial sewage samples with satisfactory results.     

Voltammetric detection of guanosine and adenosine using a carbon paste electrode modified with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate

A novel kind of carbon paste electrode (CPE) was prepared by mixing graphite powder, liquid paraffin and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate. The resulting electrode was used for the simultaneous determination of guanosine and adenosine by differential pulse voltammetry. Compared to a conventional CPE, the oxidation peak currents are largely increased, and the oxidation peak potentials are negatively shifted. The electrochemical responses to guanosine and adenosine were investigated. Under optimized conditions, the calibration curves are linear in the concentration range from 1.0?×?10^-6?mol?L^-1 to 1.6?×?10^-4?mol?L^-1 for guanosine, and from 1.0?×?10^-6?mol?L^-1 to 2.7?×?10^-4?mol?L^-1 for adenosine at pH 3.5. Substances potentially interfering in the biological matrix do no interfere. The method was successfully applied to detect adenosine and guanosine in human urine without sample treatments.

Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Aurothiomalate in Urine Using a Screen‐Printed Carbon Electrode

This work describes an electroanalytical method for determining gold(I) thiomalate, aurothiomalate, widely used for treatment of reumatoid arthiritis, using a screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Aurothiomalate (AuTM) was determined indirectly at the same electrode by accumulating it first at ?1.5 V vs. printed carbon. At this potential in the adsorbed state, the AuTM is reduced to Au(0), which is then oxidized at two steps at ?0.22 V and +0.54 V on SPCE. Using optimized conditions of 60 s deposition time, ?1.5 V (vs. printed carbon) accumulation potential, 100 mV s^?1 scan rate, linear calibration graphs can be obtained by monitoring the peak at +0.54 V for AuTM in HCl 0.1 mol L^?1 from 1.43×10^?6 to 1.55×10^?4 mol L^?1. A limit of detection obtained was 6.50×10^?7 mol L^?1, and the relative standard deviation from five measurements of 3.0×10^?5 mol L^?1 AuTM is 4.5%. The method was successfully applied for AuTM determination in human urine sample.
