Determination of Selenium in Biological Materials Using an Ion-Selective Electrode

A method was developed for determining selenium with a self-made ion-selective electrode was developed. This electrode was made by using Ag₂Se as electroactive material. Optimal working conditions and interferences were investigated. The electrode exhibits good potentiometric response for Se²⁻ ions over the concentration range from 6 × 10⁻⁷ mol · L⁻¹ to 1 × 10⁻⁴ mol · L⁻¹ with a Nernstian slope of 28 ± 1 mV per decade and a detection limit of about 4.5 × 10⁻⁷ mol · L⁻¹. It was used over six months and exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity towards Se²⁻. The method was applied to determine selenium in biological materials. The recovery ranges between 92% and 105.5%, and the relative standard derivation is less than 3.6% (n = 6).     

A Liquid-State Tetrafluoroborate Ion-Selective Electrode Based on Brilliant Green Tetrafluoroborate

Abstract

A liquid-state ion-selective electrode which is sensitive to tetrafluoroborate ion, and which is based on Brilliant green tetrafluoroborate, has been developed. A chlorobenzene solution of the basic dye salt is absorbed into natural rubber sheeting which acts as the membrane in the electrode. At concentrations of tetrafluoroborate ion between 10^?4 and 10^?1 M a near Nernstian slope of 58.5 mV per decade change of concentration was obtained at 25°C; the potential response became steady within 1 minute at each concentration. Selectivity constants are given for a range of anions of which only perchlorate interferes markedly (K_{BF 4}-_{/ClO 4}- = 1.0 to 1.6).

Mercurimetric Potentiometric Determination of Barbiturates Using a Solid-State Iodide Ion-Selective Electrode

Abstract

A simple potentiometric method is described for mercurimetric titration of barbiturates using a solid-state iodide ion-selective electrode. The optimum titration conditions involve the use of a borate buffer of pH 9–10 as a medium and mercury(II) perchlorate of pH 1.7–1.9 as a titrant. Under these conditions, titration curves with two sharp consecutive inflection breaks are obtained. The first inflection corresponds to quantitative and stoichiometric reaction of barbiturates with mercury(II) and the second break is due to the reaction of the buffer with the titrant. No interferences are caused by Cl^?, Br^?, PO₄ ^3- and many excipients and diluents commonly used in the drug formulations. Determination of barbiturates in various pharmaceutical preparations gives reproducible results with an average recovery of 99.1% of the nominal (st.dev. 0.3 %) and the method offers significant advantages over the titrimetric method of the British Pharmacopoeia.     

Ion-Selective Electrodes Prepared with Polyaniline Membranes

Polyaniline is a conductive polymer that has electrochemical activity. For this reason, it has many different uses in electrochemical area. In this study, polyaniline was prepared by electrochemical oxidation of aniline in concentrated H₂SO₄ and HCl solutions. Then, membranes were obtained from a mixture of these polymers and paraffin at a weight ratio of 50%. Ion-selective electrodes were prepared with these membranes and AgCl/Ag electrodes. Properties of prepared membranes were investigated with potentiometric measurements made in HCl, KCl, H₂SO₄, and HClO₄ solutions of different concentrations. The E–logc plots obtained with these ion-selective electrodes were found to be linear in a distinct concentration range. Their slopes depend on the membrane type and the doping ion in the test solution. The difference between these membranes was explained according to the morphological structures of polyaniline membranes.

Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Sulfide Nanoparticles Containing Sol-Gel Derived HPC-Silica Film for Ion-Selective Electrode Application

Silver sulfide nanoparticles dispersed in sol-gel derived hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)-silica films have been successfully synthesized using H₂S gas diffusion method. This is the first attempt to produce silver sulfide nanoparticles using this technique. Ag₂S nanoparticles are generated through reaction of H₂S gas with AgNO₃ precursor dissolved in the HPC-silica matrix. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis reveal nanoparticles size distribution from 2.5 nm to 56 nm for H₂S gas exposed sample. The surface chemistry of Ag₂S nanoparticles and sol-gel derived HPC-silica matrix is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The negative shifts in the core-level XPS Ag (3d) binding energy of Ag₂S nanoparticles are attributed to Ag : S surface atomic ratio exhibited by these nanoparticles with varying processing conditions. Following processing and characterization, suitability of the present method to produce silver sulfide ion-selective electrode is demonstrated by depositing Ag₂S nanoparticles on a graphite rod. The high reponse function of the electrode is due to the presence of nanoparticles.     

How Far the Ion-Selectivity Should be Improved; a Task Oriented Limit of Ion-Selective Electrode Design

Abstract

A simple formula is proposed for the definition and the calculation of the highest acceptable selectivity coefficient values of ion-selective electrodes. On the basis of the formula which is based on the consideration of the precision of the direct potentiometric measuring techniques one can easily decide whether the selectivity of an electrode is sufficient or not for solving a well defined analytical task correctly. On the other, hand it indicates clearly for ion-selective electrode developing teams or manufacturers how far the ion-selectivity of an electrode should be improved for a certain type of analytical application.

Characteristic selectivity values for a few concrete analytical sample types are given in table together with the selectivity coefficients of the corresponding, existing ion-selective electrodes.

Enhancement of Demasking of Fluoride Ion From its Aluminum Complexes by Dilution in the Determination With a Fluoride Ion-Selective Electrode

Abstract

In the determination of fluoride ion with an ion-selective electrode the permissible concentration of aluminum increases markedly with decreasing the fluoride concentration in 0.5M citrate buffer solutions at pi I 6. As the accuracy is constant over a concentration range down to 10^?5 M F^? where a Nernstian relation holds fluoride determinations can be accomplished by the successive dilution method. The dilution steps are repeated until the last two results are in agreement, while the concentration of citrate is kept constant. As the ionic strength is kept constant with citrate, the addition of sodium chloride to the buffer is not necessary. Several samples, especially glasses, have been analyzed successfully.     

Design of the Fluoride Ion-Selective Electrode as Tubular Detector for Flow Injection Analysis

ABSTRACT

Design of the fluoride ion-selective electrode (FISE) as the tubular detector used in the flow injection analysis (FIA) has been described. Among other things, this design makes it possible to use various internal contacts. The effect of pH on peak height and detection limit in the pH range from 2.8 to 8.0 has been examined. The effect of flow rate and sample injection volume on peak height and range of linear response has also been examined. The flow rates range from 0.56 mL/min to 4.05 mL/min, while the injection volumes are 100 and 200 μL. The optimum conditions are carrier solution (0.1 M KNO₃ buffer pH 4 and 10^-6 M NaF), flow rate 1.54 mL/min and sample injection volume 100 μL.

Applicability of the FISE as the tubular detector in determination of Fe(III)-ions and AI(III)-ions by flow infection analysis has been examined at pH values of 2.8 and 3.4.

The Use of Buffers in the Determination of Fluoride by an Ion-Selective Electrode at Low Concentrations and in the Presence of Aluminum

Abstract

The influence of the composition of buffer solutions on fluoride analyses by the fluoride ion selective electrode was studied. Residual fluoride content of reagents was observed to restrict the use of some buffers and reagents in low-level work. The optimum pH for low-level fluoride determinations was found to be around 5, which can be maintained by a sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer. Of the complexing agents studied, citrate was observed to be the most efficient masking agent for aluminum, but this ability depended strongly on ligand concentration. Citrate was also effective in masking iron (III) and magnesium ions. Tris (hydroxymethyi) aminomethane showed a similar ability to complex aluminum at a pH around 8. However, at this pH the hydroxyde ion interferes in fluoride analysis below 0.1 ppm [fbar].
