Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Albendazole at a Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode

ABSTRACT

Albendazole is determined by differential-pulse adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode using the reduction peak of its copper(II) complex at ?0.28V at an accumulation potential 0.0V vs. Ag/AgCl electrode. The optimum conditions of pH, accumulation potential and accumulation time were studied. The calibration graph for the determination of albendazole was linear in the range 3.0X10^?8 - 9X10^?7M with a relative standard deviation of 2.8%. The detection limit was 1.0X10^?8M after 180s accumulation at 0.0V. The effect of common excipients and metal ions on the peak height of albendazole was studied. The presence of Cu²⁺ ions forms a stable complex with albendazole which is strongly adsorbed at the mercury electrode surface. The method was applied to the determination of the drug in commercially available dosage forms.     

Study and Application of Electrochemical Behavior of Calcium-ARS on a Mercury Film Electrode

A sensitive complex absorptive wave of Ca-ARS was obtained by using differential pulse voltammetry when a mercury film glass carbon electrode was immersed in 0.1 mol L⁻¹ KOH and 4.5×10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ ARS solution. The peak potential obtained was −1.17 V (vs Ag-AgCl). The peak current was proportional to the concentration of calcium in the range of 5.0×10⁻⁸−4.2×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹. The detection limit was 2.0×10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. This method was applied successfully to determining traces of calcium in blood serum. The electrochemical behavior of the system was also studied by cyclic voltammetry, and the experiment results showed that the electrode process was an irreversible absorptive with two electrons participating.

A Corresponding-state Model for Predicting Surface Tension

A generalized corresponding-state model based on two reference fluids was developed for the prediction of surface tensions for non-polar and weakly polar pure fluids and their binary mixtures. Four parameters,po, Tc, Vc and ω, were used in this model, and the acentric factor ω was used as a scaling parameter. This model has been tested for 69 pure substances and 20 binary mixtures; the average absolute deviations are 0. 28 and 0. 20 mN/m, respectively. The results indicate that the predictions by means of this model were in good agreement with experimental data. In addition, the calculated deviation would increase with the excess surface tension rising, and if the excess surface tension is less than 3 mN/m, the prediction will be good and credible.     

Electrochemical Study of the Interaction Mechanism of Proflavine (PF) with DNA Using Carbon Paste (CPE) and Hanging Mercury Drop (HMDE) Electrode

Abstract

Proflavine binds with DNA in a complicated manner. This work involves the electrochemical study of this interaction using differential pulse voltammetry at a carbon paste electrode (CPE) and alternating current voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). At the CPE the peak current intensity at 1.0 V (corresponding to the oxidation of the guanine residues) decreased by increasing the concentration of proflavine. At the HMDE, a decrease in the current intensity of the DNA peak at ? 1.2 V (corresponding to segmental desorption) was also observed by increasing the concentration of proflavine. These results confirmed, electrochemically, that proflavine intercalates within the DNA double helix and changes its conformation.     

Imprinted Polymer – Modified Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode for Differential Pulse Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Analysis of a Diquat Herbicide

An imprinted polymer modified hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) in Model 303A system in conjunction with a PAR Model 264A Polarographic Analyzer/Stripping Voltammeter has been used for the selective analysis of a diquat herbicide viz., 5,6‐dihydropyrazino[1,2,3,4‐[lmn]‐1,10‐phenanthrolinium dichlorides in differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry mode. Complex aqueous samples (drinking water and agricultural soil suspension), spiked with a diquat herbicide, were directly analyzed by the adsorptive accumulation of the analyte over the working electrode (accumulation potential ?0.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), accumulation time 120 s, pH 7.0, supporting electrolyte 0.1 M KCl, scan rate 10 mV s^?1, pulse amplitude 25 mV). The limit of detection for diquat herbicide was found to be 0.34 nmol L^?1 (0.1 ppb, RSD 2%, S/N=2).     

Effect of Neck Formation on the Measurement of Dynamic Interfacial Tension in a Drop Volume Tensiometer

Dynamic interfacial tension values obtained by drop volume tensiometry will be affected under certain experimental conditions by the formation of a neck between the drop and the capillary tip. This phenomenon must be accounted for to obtain accurate values of interfacial tension. In this work, neck formation for a water–mineral oil system is studied under conditions where hydrodynamic effects can be neglected. A model originally developed for the determination of the surface tension of a suspended drop is modified for application to dynamic interfacial tensions of surfactant-containing liquids. The model relates apparent values of interfacial tension calculated from drops possessing necks to actual values. Experiments with Span 80 (sorbitan monooleate) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactants in a mineral oil–water system are used to test the validity of the developed model. For the small tip diameter used, good agreement is obtained for Span 80 up to the critical micelle concentration, and for low concentrations of SDS, when the surfactant adsorption is diffusion-limited. In both cases, the neck diameter of the growing drop can be considered constant over the range of dynamic interfacial tensions tested.     

Measurement and Prediction on the Surface Properties of Dimethyl Sulfoxide/Water Mixtures

Pendent drop method was adopted to measure the surface tension of dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)/water mixtures. A new pendent drop apparatus was built up and checked with water, and a good agreement of our data with literature could be found. With the new apparatus, the surface tensions of nine DMSO/water mixtures with mass fractions of water from 0.1 to 0.9 were investigated in a temperature range of 298-338 K. The expanded uncertainty for surface tension measurement was estimated to be 0.5% at a confidence level of 95%(k=2) in the whole temperature range. A thermodynamic-based relation was used to predict the surface properties of DMSO/water mixtures. Based on the relation and Gibbs adsorption theory, a prediction model was proposed for the calculation of surface relative excess and the thickness of the surface molecule layer.

Development of Uric Acid Sensor Based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymer‐Modified Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode

Uric acid (UA) sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer‐modified hanging mercury drop electrode was developed for sensitive and selective analysis in aqueous and blood serum samples. The uric acid‐imprinted polymer was prepared from melamine and chloranil and coated directly onto the surface of a hanging mercury drop electrode, under charge‐transfer interactions at +0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), in model 303A electrode system connected with a polarographic analyzer/stripping voltammeter (PAR model 264A). The binding event of uric acid was detected in the imprinted polymer layer through differential pulse, cathodic stripping voltammetry (DPCSV) at optimized operational conditions [accumulation potential +0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), accumulation time 120 s, pH 7.0, scan rate 10 mV s^?1, pulse amplitude 25 mV]. The limit of detection for UA was found to be 0.024 μg mL^?1 (RSD=0.64%, S/N=3). Under the optimized operational conditions, the sensor was able to differentiate between uric acid and other closely structural‐related compounds and interfering substances. Ascorbic acid (AA), a major interferent in UA estimation, was not adsorbed on the surface of sensor electrode. The present sensor is, therefore, UA‐selective at all concentrations of AA present in human blood serum samples. The précised and accurate quantification of UA have been made in the dilute as well as concentrated regions varying within limits 0.1–4.0 and 9.8–137.0 μg mL^?1, respectively.     

A Critical Comparison of Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode and Long Lasting Sessile Drop Mercury Electrode in A.C. Anodic Stripping Voltammerty

Abstract

The hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) and the long lasting sessile drop mercury electrode (LLSDME) currently used in trace metal analysis are critically compared. Alternating current anodic stripping voltammetry (AC-ASV) and alternating current linear sweep voltammetry (AC-LSV) respectively are employed for the determination of Zn,Cd, Pb, Cu and Fe.

The influence of the electrolysis time, stirring rate, a.c. amplitude, frequency and scan rate on the peak current is evaluated.

Analytical measurements were carried out by the standard addition method, using 0.02 mol/l HClO₄ + 0.1 mol/l NaClO₄ (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu) and 0.1 mol/l (COONa)₂, (Fe), respectively as supporting electrolytes.     

Single Oil Drop Electrochemistry on a Screen‐Printed Electrode Surface

The use of a contaminated single oil drop on a screen‐printed carbon electrode is described for the first time here. The simple methodology developed herein opens the possibility of conducting such measurements. R‐(+)‐limonene oil, some samples of which were contaminated with 4‐nitrophenol (4‐NP), was used as the oil phase, and Britton? Robinson (BR) buffer was used as the aqueous phase. An oxidation peak at approximately 0.8 V vs. Ag was obtained when the system comprised an oil/water interface. The charge transfer resistance decreased by a factor of approximately 7.1 when an interfacial system composed of two immiscible liquids was used as an electrochemical tool.     

Surface Tension Effect on Harmonics of Rayleigh-Taylor Instability

Using the method of the parameter expansion up to the third order, explicitly investigates surface tension effect on harmonics at weakly nonlinear stage in Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) for arbitrary Atwood numbers and compares the results with those of classical RTI within the framework of the third-order weakly nonlinear theory. It is found that surface tension strongly reduces the linear growth rate of time, resulting in mild growth of the amplitude of the fundamental mode, and changes amplitudes of the second and third harmonics, as is expressed as a tension factor coupling in amplitudes of the harmonics. On the one hand, surface tension can either decrease or increase the space amplitude; on the other hand, surface tension can also change their phases for some conditions which are explicitly determined.     

Electrochemical Quantification of Mercury in Solutions Using Boron-doped Diamond Electrodes: Electrode Regeneration and Role of Gold and Impurities

Abstract

For determining Hg in solutions in the ppb to ppt range using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrochemistry, the role of an added gold solution for enhanced sensitivity is investigated. Using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV), peaks due to Cu and Ag as impurities from gold are identified. With the proper choice of the potential for deposition, effects of the impurities are minimized and an electrode regeneration procedure is devised and tested, resulting in reproducible slopes of the calibration curves in successive runs. The location and shift of the DPASV peak potentials with concentration are explained with the use of the Nernst equation.

Electroanalytical Studies of Biologically Active Azosalicylic Acid at a Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode

The electrochemical behavior of disodium 3,3′‐azobis‐(6‐hydroxy‐)benzoate (olsalazine sodium), 2‐hydroxy‐5‐[(4‐sulfophenyl)azo]benzoic acid and 2‐hydroxy‐5‐azo‐benzoic acid was studied as a simple model of the metabolic reduction of azosalicylic acids using cyclic and square‐wave voltammetry. The stability of the hydrazo intermediate generated in the electroreduction process is strongly dependent on pH and the effect of different substituents in the aromatic ring adjacent to the azo bridge. The electrode mechanism of azosalicylic acids at hanging mercury drop electrode exhibits characteristic properties of a surface redox reaction. The kinetic parameters of azo/hydrazo reduction, such as the standard redox reaction rate constant and the electron transfer coefficient were estimated applying the methods of a split SW peak and a quasireversible maximum. A sensitive analytical method for the determination of trace level of biologically active azosalicylic acids by square‐wave voltammetry based on adsorptive stripping technique is described.     

白杨素在汞电极上的电化学行为及其消除超氧阴离子自由基能力研究

The electrochemical behavior of chrysin in pH 2.0-9.0 Britton-Robinson （B-R） buffer solutions was studied by the means of linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry at a static mercury drop electrode. In different pH range of B-R buffer solutions, chrysin could cause four reduction waves. In pH 2.0-5.8 B-R buffer solutions, wave P1 yielded by chrysin is a one-electron reduction wave, and wave P1 caused by further reduction of the products of wave P1 in pH〈3.0 B-R buffer solution is also a one-electron reduction wave. But in 3.0〈pH〈5.8 B-R buffer solution wave P1 was overlapped by the hydrogen wave. Between pH 5.8 and 9.0, chrysin could yield two reduction waves P2 and P3- The former is an irreversible adsorptive wave of ionized chrysin involving one electron and the latter is also an irreversible adsorptive wave of reduction intermediate radical of chrysin involving one electron and one proton. And a linear relationship between ip3 and the concentration of chrysin can be established from 1.0×10^-6 to 4.0×10^-5 mol·L^-1 （r=0.9924） with the detection limit of 5×10^-7 mol·L^-1. In addition, the antioxidant ability of chrysin was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry （LSV）. The determination result of IC50 of chrysin showed that chrysin is a good antioxidant.
