Sensitive spectrophotometric determination of gallium with eriochrome Cyanine R and cetyltrimethylammonium ions

Summary A new sensitive, spectrophotometric determination of gallium, based on the ternary gallium-Eriochrome Cyanine R-cetyltrimethylammonium system has been developed. At _max=588 nm the molar absorptivity is 1.20×10⁵l·mole^–1·cm^–1. The maximum absorbance is attained in 5 min in the presence of a 10-fold molar ratio of Eriochrome Cyanine R and an approx. 50-fold ratio of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (to Ga). Citrate, EDTA and to a lesser extent tartrate, interfere. Interference by metals can be eliminated by a preliminary extraction of gallium with di-isopropyl ether from 7 M hydrochloric acid in the presence of ascorbic acid as reductant. The results for gallium (at a concentration level of 1×10^–4%) in aluminium metal and chloride indicate good precision and accuracy.

Empfindliche spektrophotometrische Bestimmung von Gallium mit Eriochromcyanin-R- und Cetyltrimethylammonium-Ionen

Zusammenfassung Ein neues, empfindliches spektrophotometrisches Verfahren zur Galliumbestimmung wurde ausgearbeitet. Es beruht auf der Verwendung des ternären Systems Gallium — EriochromcyaninR — Cetyltrimethylammonium. Bei _max=588 nm beträgt die molare Extinktion 1,20·10⁵ 1·Mol^–1·cm^–1. Die maximale Absorption wird innerhalb von 5 min bei Gegenwart der 10fachen molaren Menge EriochromcyaninR und der etwa 50fachen Menge Cetyltrimethylammoniumbromid erreicht. Citrat, ÄDTA und in geringerem Maß Tartrat stören. Störende Wirkung durch Metalle kann durch vorhergehende Extraktion des Galliums mit Diisopropyläther aus 7 M Salzsäure in Gegenwart von Askorbinsäure als Reduktionsmittel vermieden werden. Die Ergebnisse (im Konzentrationsbereich von 10^–4% Ga) in metallischem Aluminium und AICI₃ sind genau.

     

Der Einfluß großer Salzkonzentrationen auf die Oxydationsreaktion von Fe(phen) 3 2+ mit Ce(IV) in Schwefelsäure

The influence of NaClO₄, NaCl and Na₂SO₄ on the oxidation of Fe(phen) ₃ ²⁺ by Ce(IV) was investigated by means of the stopped-flow method. At the concentrations range of NaClO₄ and NaCl 0.1–1.0M the rate constant values decrease from 1.03·10⁵ to 0.56·10⁵M^–1s^–1 and from 1.08·10⁵ to 0.81·10⁵M^–1s^–1 respectively.In varying concentrations of Na₂SO₄ solutions (0.05–0.35M) the rate constant values decrease from 1.05·10⁵M^–1s^–1 to 0.45·10⁵M^–1s^–1.Taking into account the negative salt effect the mechanism of the reaction progress is proposed.

     

Sorption of hafnium on hydrous titanium oxide using radiotracer technique

The sorption of hafnium on hydrous titanium oxide (TiO₂·1.94 H₂O) has been studied in detail. Maximum sorption of hafnium can be achieved from a pH 7 buffer solution containing boric acid and sodium hydroxide using 50 mg of the oxide after 30 minutes shaking. The value ofk _d, the rate constant of intraparticle transport for hafnium sorption, from 0.01M hydrochloric and perchloric acid and pH 7 buffer solutions has been found to be 17 mmole·g^–1·min^–2. The kinetics of hafnium sorption follows Lagergren equation in 0.01M HCl solution only. The values of the overall rate constantK=6.33·10^–2 min^–1 and of the rate constant for sorptionk ₁=6.32·10^–2 min^–1 and desorptionk ₂=2.28·10^–5 min^–1 have been evaluated using linear regression analysis. The value of correlation factor() is 0.9824. The influence of hafnium concentration on its sorption has been examined from 4.55·10^–5 to 9.01·10^–4 M from pH 7 buffer solution. The sorption data followed only the Langmuir sorption isotherm. The saturation capacity of 9.52 mmole·g^–1 and of a constant related to sorption energy have been estimated to be 2917 dm³·mole^–1. Among all the additional anions and cations tested only citrate ions reduce the sorption significantly. Under optimal experimental conditions selected for hafnium sorption, As(III), Sn(V), Co(II), Se(IV) and Eu(III) have shown higher sorption whereas Mn(II), Ag(I) and Sc(III) are sorbed to a lesser extent. It can be concluded that a titanium oxide bed can be used for the preconcentration and removal of hafnium and other metal ions showing higher sorption from their very dilute solutions. The oxide can also be employed for the decontamination of radioactive liquid waste and for pollution abatement studies.     

Determination of total chlorine in waste oil

Summary A simple method has been developed to determine the concentration of organic chlorine in waste oil. The determination is based on the conversion of organic chlorine to inorganic chloride by reaction with sodium biphenyl followed by extraction with nitric acid and a mixture of nitric acid and water. The concentration of chloride is determined by direct potentiometry with an ion-selective electrode. The limit of determination amounts to 3·10^–5 mol·l^–1 chloride ions with a standard deviation of 3.5%. Different samples of waste oil have been analyzed and the results have been compared to those obtained by combustion in a H₂/O₂ flame followed by potentiometric titration with silver nitrate.     

Spectrophotometric determination of nitrite and nitrate in doped potassium chloride crystals

Summary KCl crystals, doped in the melt with KNO₂ or KNO₃, contain both NO₂ ^– and NO₃ ^– ions. Spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of the admixture concentration after dissolving the crystals. Nitrite is determined by colorimetry of an azo dye formed in methanol-water-HCl medium from p-nitroaniline and -naphthylamine. The absorption is proportional to the nitrite concentration in the range of 5 · 10^–6 to 5 · 10^–5 M NO₂ ^– UV absorption measurement is employed for the spectrophotometric determination of nitrate, Beer's law being obeyed between 3 · 10^–5 and 3 · 10^–4 M NO₃ ^– at 220 nm. Here, nitrite is removed by adding sulfamic acid, and correction is made for chloride. Some results on nitrite- and nitrate-doped crystals are given.

Evaluation of free hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of some Chinese herbs by capillary zone electrophoresis with amperometric detection

Due to the severe damage caused by free hydroxyl radicals (OH·) to cells and tissues, there is much interest in finding and studying effective and non-toxic OH· scavengers, including traditional Chinese herbs. In this paper, the simple and highly-sensitive technique of capillary zone electrophoresis with amperometric detection (CZE-AD) was used to study the OH· scavenging activities of aqueous extracts from some traditional Chinese herbs. Salicylic acid (SAL) was used as an OH· trap, and the content of OH· could be determined by assaying their products, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA). The optimum conditions for CZE-AD for the determination of 2,3-DHBA and 2,5-DHBA were explored. The linearity ranges of 2,3-DHBA and 2,5-DHBA were 1.0 ×10^–7~1.0 ×10^–4 mol L^–1, and their detection limits were as low as 2×10^–8 mol L^–1, which were much better than the CE-UV method often used. The traditional Chinese herbs studied included Radix angelicae sinensis, Rhizoma coptidis, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligusticum wallichii, Radices glycyrrhizae and Semen plantaginis. The experiments showed that the aqueous extracts from all of the above traditional Chinese herds had free OH· scavenging activities, although to different degrees.     

Specific refractive index increments of copolyamides

Summary The dependence of specific refractive index increments (dñ/dc) of aromatic-aliphatic copolyamides on weight-average molecular weight, temperature and refractive indices of the solvents has been investigated at a wavelength of 546 run. Values of (dñ/dc) increase with increasing molecular weight and temperature. The temperature coefficient of (dñ/dc) in N,N-dimethylacetamide, dichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid and H₂SO₄ was found to be 7.85 · 10^–4, 5.42 · 10^–4, 6.00 · 10^–4 and 6.83 · 10^–4 cc · g^–1 °C respectively which agrees closely with the values calculated on the basis ofGladstone andDale equation. (dñ/dc) was found to be a linear function of the refractive indices of the solvents.With 3 figures     

Modeling of iron adsorption on HTTA-loaded polyurethane foam using Freundlich,Langmuir and D-R isotherm expressions

The sorption of Fe(III) at low pH range from 1 to 4.5 on open cell polyether type HTTA-loaded polyurethane foam has been carried out using batch technique. The optimum shaking time for 2.5· 10^–4M solution of Fe(III) was found to be 30 minutes. The concept of macropore and micropore nature of polyurethane foam sorbent offers unique advantages of adsorption. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms are followed at low concentration range from 1·10^–4 to 3·10^–4M solution of Fe(III). The Freundlich constant (1/n=0.46±0.013 andK=9.16±1.39 mg·g^–1) and Langmuir isotherm constants(M=21.78 mg·g^–1 andb=88.41±9.731·g^–1) were established. The sorption mean free energyE=12.22±0.09 kJ·mol^–1 and loading capacityC _m =145.21±6.1 mg·g^–1 were evaluated using Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm, which suggested that the adsorption mechanism was chemisorption.     

Photometrisch-potentiometrische Bestimmung der Hydrolysenkonstanten vonN-Bromverbindungen

The equilibrium concentrations of all reaction products emerging from the hydrolysis ofN-bromo compounds in the presence of bromide and thereby also the hydrolysis constants (K ₁) have been calculated from the absorbance at 392.8 nm, thepH-value and the initial concentrations of theN-bromo compound and the bromide. The following compounds have been investigated:N-bromo-succinimide:K ₁=2.2·10^–6, 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin:K ₁=1.7·10^–5,N-bromoacetamide:K ₁=1.8·10^–6,N-bromo-monochloroacetamide: 5.2·10^–6,N-bromo-dichloroacetamide:K ₁=8.9·10^–6 andN-bromo-trichloroacetamide:K ₁=1.8·10^–5. The precision of the method, which is mainly suited for weak hydrolizingN-bromocompounds (K ₁<10^–4) are discussed and the overall error of the calculated values was found to be in the range of ±5–12%. The reactivities in aqueous solution of the most frequently usedN-bromo compounds are compared by means of the calculated HOBr equilibrium concentrations. The differences to be expected on the basis of the latters are at concentrations >10^–5 mol/l rather great, while they can be neglected in very dilute solutions (-10^–6 mol/l).

Sulfurization of polymers. 6. Poly(vinylene polysulfide), poly(thienothiophene), and related structures from polyacetylene and elemental sulfur

Polyacetylene obtained by the dehydrochlorination of polyvinyl chloride in the NaOH—DMSO system undergoes sulfurization with elemental sulfur at 120—300 °C to liberate hydrogen sulfide and to form electroconducting (0.7·10^–12—5.8·10^–15Sm nm^–1) and paramagnetic (1.5·10¹⁷—1.7·10¹⁹sp g^–1, g = 2.0035—2.0045, H= 0.44—0.66 mT) dark powders with a metallic luster. Their IR spectra and comparison with the samples of sulfurized polyethylene show that sulfurized polyacetylene contains poly(vinylene polysulfide), poly(thienothiophene), and related structures. The polymers afford the cathode discharge capacity of lithium batteries up to 950 mA h g^–1(in the first cycle) and stable cycling at a level of 500—300 mA h g^–1(25 cycles).     

Extraction of Pd(II) ions using tri-n-octylamine xylene base supported liquid membranes

Membranes, based on tri-n-octylamine (TOA) xylene liquid, supported in hydrophobic microporous films have been used to study the transport of Pd(II) ions, after extraction into the membrane. Various parameters, such as the effect of hydrochloric acid concentration in the feed solution, TOA concentration in the membrane phase, effect of stripping agent like nitric acid concentration, and temperature on the flux of Pd(II) ions across the liquid membranes have been investigated. The optimum conditions of transport for these metal ions determined are, TOA concentration, 1.25 mol·dm^–3, HCl concentration in the feed solution, 5 mol·dm^–3, and concentration of nitric acid used as a stripping, agent 5 mol·dm^–3. The maximum values of the flux and permeability determined under the optimum condition are 23·10^–6 mol·m^–2·s^–1 and 2.40·10³ m²·s^–1 at 25°C. The results obtained have been used to elucidate the mechanism of palladium transport.     

Oxidation of ascorbic acid in the presence of phthalocyanine metal complexes. Chemical aspects of catalytic therapy of cancer 2. Catalysis by cobalt octacarboxyphthalocyanine. Reaction products

The products of ascorbic acid oxidation in the presence of cobalt octa-4,5-carboxy-phthalocyanine sodium salt (TPH) were identified. These include the ascorbate radical (A^·), hydroxyl radical (OH^·), and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The kinetics of accumulation and consumption of the reaction products was studied. For the concentration ranges of ascorbic acid = 0–2.5 ⋅ 10⁻³ mol L⁻¹ and the catalyst C _TPH = 0–3.5 ⋅ 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹, the the highest possible concentration of the ascorbate radical is ∼10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹, the concentration of H₂O₂ is 7 ⋅ 10⁻⁴ (30% of the starting concentration of ascorbic acid) and the concentration of the hydroxyl radical is at most 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Kinetics of Chlorohydrination of Allyl Chloride

The chlorohydrination of allyl chloride with chlorine in water was studied at 20–80°C. The effect of the concentration of chloride ions within the range 0–3.6 mol/l on the selectivity of formation of glycerol dichlorohydrins was studied. An equation that relates the selectivity and the concentration of Cl^–was derived, which adequately describes experimental data. The schemes of parallel and consecutive reactions occurring in the system were suggested. The ratios between the rate constants of the following reactions were found: the reactions of chlorine with water and allyl chloride dissolved in water (k ₁/k ₄= 4.1 × 10^–4), the reaction of allyl chloride with hypochlorous acid and the decomposition of hypochlorous acid (k ₂/k ₃= 1.7 × 10³), and the reactions of the allyl chloride–chlorine complex with a water molecule and Cl^–(k ₅/k ₆= 2.9 × 10^–2).     

Pulse radiolysis of Triton X-100 aqueous solution

Pulse radiolysis of deaerated aqueous solutions of 4·10^–5–2.4·10^–3 mol dm^–3 Triton X-100 gives rise to a transient species originating from the reactions of OH radicals and H atoms. The rate constants of these reactions were found to be 8.8·10⁹ mol^–1·dm³·s^–1 and 1.25·10⁹ mol^–1·dm³·s^–1, respectively, for Triton X-100 concentrations below CMC. The corresponding transient species were found to decay according to second order kinetics. The mechanism of the reactions involved including concentration effects is discussed.     

Optical and gamma irradiation studies of morin in ethanol

Spectral studies of morin in aqueous ethanol and other alcohols have been carried out as a function of its concentration and that of ethanol, and the pH of aqueous buffer. The effect of gamma radiations on morin solution in ethanol was also studied as a function of dose in the range of 0.15–2.28 kGy and of morin concentration (10^–5–10^–4 mole·dm^–3). Morin concentration in ethanol solution showed a linear response for G values to a dose of 1.83 kGy. Molar absorption coefficients () for morin in ethanol have been estimated to be _260nm=2.28·10⁴ dm³·mol^–1·cm^–1 and _291nm=8.22·10³ dm³·mol^–1·cm^–1 for unirradiated and _{291 nm}=1.75·10⁴ dm³·mol^–1·cm^–1 for irradiated solutions to a dose of 1.83 kGy.     

Polarographische Bestimmung der 2,2′-Dicinchoninsäure
