Spectrophotometric flow-injection determination of sulphate in soil solutions

A flow-injection procedure for spectrophotometric determination of sulphate in soil solutions is proposed. Samples are directly soaked from the soils under field conditions, in-line filtered through ceramic plates, and preserved with thymol. The method involves reaction with barium dimethylsulphonazo(III) (DMSA) in the presence of dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) with further measuring the decrease in absorbance at 668 nm. A linear response is observed up to about 5 mgl ⁻¹ SO₄, and detection limit (3σ criterion) is 0.1 mg l⁻¹ SO₄. Only 4.5 μg DMSA is consumed per determination. The system is rugged and baseline drift is not observed during extended operation periods. About 60 samples are injected per hour, and the results are precise (r.s.d. <2%) and in agreement with ion chromatography.     

Spectrophotometric flow-injection determination of copper and nickel in plant digests exploiting differential kinetic analysis and multi-site detection

A novel strategy for implementing differential reaction-rate methods in flow-injection analysis is proposed and applied to the determination of copper and nickel in plant digests using 2-(5-brom-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)-phenol (Br-PADAP) as the color-forming reagent. Multi-site detection is involved, therefore the flow cell is displaced between two monitoring sites, and the analytical signals refer to different conditions of sample dispersion, reaction development and timing.The system handles 20 samples h⁻¹ and requires 0.32 mg Br-PADAP per determination. Signal additivity was evaluated within 98 and 102%, and linear responses (r > 0.999; n = 6) were verified for both copper and nickel up to 0.80 mg l⁻¹. Detection limits of 0.01 and 0.04 mg l⁻¹ Cu and Ni were estimated by considering the highest concentration of the counter analyte. Results are precise (R.S.D. < 2%) and in agreement with ICP-OES (95% confidence level). Potentialities and limitations of the approach are discussed.

Fluidized beds in flow analysis: use with ion-exchange separation for spectrophotometric determination of zinc in plant digests

A novel strategy for utilization of solid reagents in flow analysis is proposed. Establishment of diffuse and reproducible geometry enables the solid particles to be maintained in constant floating, reflux, and circulating motion inside a mini-chamber. This is efficiently accomplished with pulsed flows, a characteristic of multi-pumping flow systems. Drawbacks inherent in solid-phase packed columns, for example backpressure, preferential pathways, swelling, etc., and some limitations inherent in immobilized reagents are minimised. Spectrophotometric determination of zinc in plants was selected as an application of the technique. Dowex 1-X8 anionic resin was kept freely inside a mini-chamber. Zinc chloro-complexes were adsorbed on the moving particles and derivatization with zincon was performed after elution. Analytical figures of merit and the potential and limitations of the approach are discussed.     

Spectrophotometric determination of zinc and copper in a multi-syringe flow injection analysis system using a liquid waveguide capillary cell: application to natural waters

This work exploits a multi-syringe injection analysis (MSFIA) system coupled with a long liquid waveguide capillary cell for the spectrophotometric determination of zinc and copper in waters. A liquid waveguide capillary cell (1.0 m pathlength, 550 μm i.d. and 250 μL internal volume) was used to enhance the sensitivity of the detection. The determination for both ions is based on a colorimetric reaction with zincon at different pH values. The developed methodology compares favourably with other previously described procedures, as it allows to reach low detection limits for both cations (LODs of 0.1 and 2 μg L⁻¹, for copper and zinc, respectively), without the need for any pre-concentration step. The system also provided a linear response up to 100 μg L⁻¹ with a high throughput (43 h⁻¹) and low reagent consumption and effluent production. The developed work was applied to natural waters and three certified reference water samples.

An improved flow-injection system for spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum and tungsten in tool steels

A flow-injection procedure for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of tungsten and molybdenum in steel alloys is proposed. The method exploits the catalytic effects of Mo(VI) and W(VI) on the rate of iodide oxidation by hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions. A novel strategy for ion-exchange separation of the potential interfering species is proposed, and an AG50W-X8 cationic resin mini-column is used. The sample is injected twice, originating two sequential plugs, citrate being added to one of them in order to suppress the W(VI) catalytic activity thus providing the kinetic discrimination.The system handles 70 samples per hour and requires 1.6 mg KI per determination. A linear response is verified up to 10 mg l⁻¹ Mo (or W) in the injectate, and signal additivity is 98-103%. Results are precise (R.S.D. < 0.04) and in agreement with ICP-OES. Running a standard reference material (IPT-50) assessed also accuracy.

Spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of nitrite, nitrate and ammonium in soils by flow injection analysis

A new rapid flow injection procedure for the simultaneous determination of nitrate, nitrite and ammonium in single flow injection analysis system is proposed. The procedure combines on-line reduction of nitrate to nitrite and oxidation of ammonium to nitrite with spectrophotometric detection of nitrite by using the Griess-llosvay reaction. The formed azo dye was measured at 543 nm. The influence of reagent concentration and manifold parameters were studied. Nitrite, nitrate and ammonium can be determined within the range of 0.02–1.60 μg mL⁻¹, 0.02–1.60 μg mL⁻¹ and 0.05–1.40 μg mL⁻¹, respectively. R.S.D. values (n = 10) were 2.66; 1.41 and 3.58 for nitrate, nitrite and ammonium, respectively. This procedure allows the determination and speciation of inorganic nitrogen species in soils with a single injection in a simple way, and high sampling rate (18 h⁻¹). Detection limits of 0.013, 0.046 and 0.047 μg mL⁻¹were achieved for nitrate, nitrite and ammonium, respectively. In comparison with others methods, the proposed one is more simple, it uses as single chromogenic reagent less injection volume (250 mL in stead of 350 mL) and it has a higher sampling rate.     

Spectrophotometric determination of iron(III) and total iron by sequential injection analysis technique

A procedure for determination of concentrations of iron(III) and total iron by sequential injection analysis is described. The method is based on the strong blue-colored complexes formed between iron(III) and tiron. The absorbance of the complexes is measured spectrophotometrically at 635 nm. Oxidation of iron(II) and masking of interfering fluoride is simultaneously done by injecting one zone of hydrogen peroxide and one of thorium(IV) between the sample and reagent zones. Concentration of iron(III) and total iron, in the range 0.002–0.026 M, in diluted samples from a pickle bath were determined. The relative standard deviation was 0.4% (n=7). The method was also used in a pilot plant of a zinc process for determination of iron(III) in the range 0.2–3.0 g l⁻¹. The sample throughput is approximately 17 samples per hour, including three repetitive determinations of each sample.     

Spectrophotometric FIA methods for determination of hydrogen peroxide: Application to evaluation of scavenging capacity

The determination of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and the evaluation of scavenging capacity against this species were performed using five colorimetric reactions, which were adapted to flow injection analysis. The reactions chosen were based on the oxidation of iodide (I⁻ method), on the formation of titanium-peroxide complex (TiP method), on the formation of titanium-xylenol orange-peroxide complex (TiXoP method), on the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB method) and on the co-oxidation of phenol-4-sulfonic acid and 4-aminoantipyrine (PSA/4-AAP method). The operational conditions were studied in order to improve the sensitivity of each method. Concerning to the method sensitivity, the ranking order was TMB method > I⁻ method > TiXoP method ∼PSA/4-AAP method > TiP method. All methods showed an excellent repeatability (RSD < 2%) and, except for I⁻ method, relative deviations from the reference method were <1.9%. The FIA manifolds were adapted to perform the determination of scavenging capacity against H₂O₂ and glutathione (GSH) was applied as model compound. TiP and TiXoP methods were not suitable as no inhibition or an increase of analytical signal was attained. PSA/4-AAP method was chosen for further application to dietary phenolics and pharmaceutical compounds, providing IC₅₀ values for those compounds that are fast reacting antioxidants.     

Spectrophotometric determination of iron and boron in soil extracts using a multi-syringe flow injection system

In the last decade, significant advances in flow analysis have been reported, namely the extensive use of computer-controlled devices to enhance the autonomy and performance of analysers. In the present work, computer-controlled multi-syringe flow injection systems are proposed to perform the spectrophotometric determination of available iron and boron in soil extracts. The methodologies were based on the formation of ferroin complex (determination of iron) and azomethine-H reaction (determination of boron). Both determinations were performed in manifolds with similar configurations by changing the reagents present in the different syringes. In the determination of iron, elimination of Schlieren effect in the detection system was achieved through the binary sampling approach, where a three-way valve was actuated to intercalate small slugs of sample and reagent, promoting better mixing conditions for solutions with different values of refractive index. In the determination of boron, in-line sample blank measurement was attained by omitting the introduction of reagent through software control, without manifold reconfiguration. Linear calibration curves were established between 0.50 and 10.0 mg Fe l⁻¹ and between 0.20 and 4.0 mg B l⁻¹. No systematic difference was found when soil extracts were analysed by the proposed methodologies and compared to the respective reference procedures.

Spectrophotometric flow-injection analysis of mercury(II) in pharmaceuticals with p-nitrobenzoxosulfamate

A new, simple and rapid spectrophotometric FI method for the accurate and precise determination of Hg(II) in pharmaceutical preparations has been developed. The method is based on the measuring the decrease of absorbance intensity of p-nitrobenzoxosulfamate (NBS) due to the complexation with Hg(II). The absorption peak of the NBS, which is decreased linearly by addition of Hg(II), occurs at 430 nm in 2×10⁻⁴ mol l⁻¹ HNO₃ as a carrier solution. Optimization of chemical and FI variables has been made. A micro column consisting of several packing materials applied instead of reaction coil was also investigated. A background level of Fe(III) maintained in reagent carrier solution with NBS was found useful for sensitivity and selectivity. Under the optimized conditions, the sampling rate was over 100 h⁻¹, the calibration curve obtained were linear over the range 1-10 μg ml⁻¹, the detection limit was lower than 0.2 μg ml⁻¹ for a 20 μl injection volume, and the precision [S_r=1% at 2 μg ml⁻¹ Hg(II) (n=10)] was found quite satisfactory. Application of the method to the analysis of Hg(II) in pharmaceutical preparations resulted a good agreement between the expected and found values.     

Determination of Orciprenaline Using a Flow Injection Analysis System with Sequential Potentiometric and Spectrophotometric Detection

Abstract

This work describes an attempt to have a flow injection analysis (FIA) system for Orciprenaline with potentiometric and spectrophotometric detectors working sequentially. The potentiometric detection was performed using an orciprenaline ion-selective electrode made of orciprenaline ion-associate with phosphotungstic acid incorporated in a PVC matrix membrane, followed by sequential spectrophotometric detection of the same sample using the reaction of orciprenaline with phosphomolybdic acid in alkaline medium and measurement at 670 nm using a USB2000 fiber-optic spectrophotometer. The method was applied and validated for the assay of different samples that are 1.0 × 10^?2–1.0 × 10^?7 M orciprenaline, and the recovery values for Alupent® tablets, plasma and urine sample ranged from 99.39–100.93, 99.87–100.57, and 98.83–100.64 respectively for the potentiometric detector and 99.66–100.58, 99.78–100.69 and 99.12–100.92 respectively for the sequential spectrophotometric detector. It was found that using the double detection system compensated for both the unselectivity of the spectrophotometric method and the low detection limit of the potentiometric method (6.3 × 10^?4 M). Although two detectors were used in the measurements, the method is still very simple to design and apply, in addition to being rapid and less expensive than other more sophisticated techniques applied in the literature and can therefore be used for other pharmaceutical compounds as well.     

Spectrophotometric determination of total phenolics by solvent extraction and sorbent extraction optosensing using flow injection methodology

Flow injection analysis (FIA) procedures for the Spectrophotometric determination of phenol involving in-line concentration by solvent and sorbent extraction have been developed. The imine product formed in the reaction between phenol and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) is either extracted into chloroform (solvent extraction) or is temporarily retained on C₁₈-modified silica material contained in a microcolumn (sorbent extraction). In the latter case two variants of detection have been used namely the Spectrophotometric measurement of the methanolic eluent containing the concentrated dye and at-column optosensing of the retained reaction product followed by methanol elution to maintain reversibility of the process. In the solvent extraction procedure a 10-fold increase of sensitivity compared to the common FIA method without extraction is achieved but no corresponding improvement in detectability is observed. Under optimized conditions the detection limit amounts to 8 μg l⁻¹. Using sorbent extraction methodology, high concentration factors can be obtained when large sample volumes are used. The only limitation in getting correspondingly lower detection limits are an increasingly high and variable blank value with sampling volume. The detection limits obtained for measurement of the absorbance in the eluent and on-column optosensing are 11 μg l⁻¹ and 0.4 μg l⁻¹, respectively. A study of the extractability of various phenol derivates using both solvent and sorbent extraction revealed lower relative response rates compared to the FIA method without extraction. Phenolics that possess an additional acidic group are present in ionized form at the high pH of the assay and are not extractable at all.
