A novel method for the spectrophotometric determination of nitrite in water

A rapid, simple, selective and sensitive method for the spectrophotometric determination of nitrite in water has been developed and optimum reaction conditions along with other analytical parameters have been evaluated. Nitrite reacts with barbituric acid in acidic solution to give the nitroso derivative, violuric acid. At analytical wavelength of 310 nm, Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range 0.00–3.22 ppm of nitrite. The molar absorptivity is 15330 ± 259.7 (95%) with pooled standard deviation of 355.57 and R.S.D. of 2.32%. As well as the method is sensitive (2.99 × 10⁻³ μg NO₂ cm⁻²) and selective, it tolerates most of the potential interferents. It has been successfully applied to nitrite determination in natural waters by use of a calibration graph with determination limit of 1.66 μg NO₂ in 100 mL working solution corresponding to minimum 9.5 ppb NO₂–N in water samples. Lower concentrations of nitrite (3.0 μg NO₂/L sample) is precisely analyzed by using the method of dilution with sample, with R.S.D. of lower than 0.5%. The results were compared with standard N-(1-naphtyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride method and very good agreement between the data was observed. The method can easily be applied in the field.

The method was applied to the simultaneous determination of the dyes in different food samples.     

Flow injection catalytic spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate

A new flow injection catalytic spectrophotometric method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate based on the catalytic effect of nitrite on the redox reaction between crystal violet and potassium bromate in phosphoric acid medium and nitrate being on-line reduced to nitrite with a cadmium-coated zinc reduction column. The redox reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of crystal violet at the maximum absorption wavelength of 610 nm. A technique of inserting a reduction column into sampling loop is adopted and the flow injection system produces a signal with a shoulder. The height of shoulder in the ascending part of the peak corresponds to the nitrite concentration and the maximum of the peak corresponds to nitrate plus nitrite. The detection limits are 0.3 ng ml⁻¹ for nitrite and 1.0 ng ml⁻¹ for the nitrate. Up to 32 samples can be analyzed per hour with a relative standard deviation of less than 2%. The method has been successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate in natural waters.     

Laser induced thermal lens spectrometry for cobalt determination after cloud point extraction

A new approach, employing cloud point extraction (CPE) in combination with thermal lens spectrometry (TLS), has been developed for the determination of cobalt. The CPE and TLS methods have good matching conditions for combination because TLS is suitable for low volume samples obtained after CPE and for organic solvents, which are used for dissolving the remaining analyte phase.1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) was used as a complexing agent and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (Triton X-114) was added as a surfactant; then the pH of solution was adjusted. After phase separation at 50 °C based on the cloud point extraction of the mixture, the surfactant-rich phase was dried and the remaining phase was dissolved using 20 μL of carbon tetrachloride. The obtained solution was introduced into the quartz micro cell and the analyte was determined by thermal lens spectrometry. The He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) was used as both the probe and the excite source.Under optimum conditions, the analytical curve was linear for the concentration range of 0.2-40 ng mL⁻¹ and the detection limit was 0.03 ng mL⁻¹. The enhancement factor of 470 was achieved for a 10 mL sample. Relative standard deviations were lower than 5%.The method was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of cobalt in tap, river and sea water.

A novel cloud point phase separation of cationic surfactant, Aliquat-336 and capabilities of its reactive solubilizing sites for selective extraction of chromium species at ultra trace levels was examined in natural water. The phase separation behavior of Aliquat-336 is studied with various additives. The nonionic surfactant, Triton X-114 was found to induce the cloud point phase separation of Aliquat-336.

The Cr(III) concentration was obtained by subtracting Cr(VI) from total Cr. The recovery of total Cr was 99.5 ± 1.2%. Parameters affecting extraction were assessed. The procedure was applied to NIST 1643c and NIST 1643d waters, and the sum of individual species obtained was compared with the certified chromium values. The method was also applied to various natural waters with limits of detection and pre-concentration factor of 0.010 and 0.025 ng mL⁻¹; 10 and 10, respectively, for Cr(VI) and Cr(III)-APDC using ICP-MS operated in DRC mode.

This work describes a new, simple, and sensitive colorimetric determination method for indoxyl sulfate (indican) by fiber optic UV-Vis spectrophotometry coupled to cloud point extraction as the separation-preconcentration method. This method is based on the diazotization of sulphanilic acid in acidic medium followed by its coupling with indoxyl sulfate (indican), which gives an azo product and extraction of the colored product using the cloud point extraction (CPE) technique.

For the case of WWTP effluent water samples, no estrogen was found. The accuracy of the proposed method was tested by recovery measurements of spiked samples and good recoveries of 81.2-99.5% were obtained.

Spectrophotometric determination of cloud point of Brij 35 nonionic surfactant

The cloud point of nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene (23) lauryl ether (Brij-35) was determined in the presence of various inorganic electrolytes. The measurements of cloud point (CP) were carried out with UV-vis spectrophotometer instead of visual observation. CP of Brij-35 could not be measured directly because its CP is more than 100 °C. Therefore, CP values of Brij-35 were lowered by the addition of electrolytes. In this study, NaF, NaCl, NaBr, KNO₃, K₂CO₃, K₃PO₄, Li₂SO₄, Na₂SO₄, K₂SO₄, (NH₄)₂SO₄, CuSO₄, ZnSO₄, CoSO₄ were used as electrolytes. Linear lines which were drawn with CP values were extrapolated to zero electrolyte concentration. The real CP value of Brij-35 which is merely listed as >100 °C in the literature was found as 118.5 ± 0.5 °C for all samples. Furthermore, the effects of the nature of the cation and the anion and the valencies of the cations on CP were reported and the rate of decrease in CP with concentration is discussed.

Separation and preconcentration of persistent organic pollutants by cloud point extraction

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are recognized as a class of poisonous compounds which pose risks of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. Thus, it is very important to detect POPs in environmental and biological samples. The identification and determination of very low levels of POPs in complex matrices is extremely difficult. Recently a promising environmentally benign extraction and preconcentration methodology based on cloud point extraction (CPE) has emerged as an efficient sample pretreatment technique for the determination of trace/ultra-trace POPs in complex matrices. The purpose of this paper is to review the past and latest use of CPE for preconcentrating POPs and its coupling to different contemporary instrumental methods of analysis. First, the comparison of various extraction techniques for POPs is described. Next, the general concept, influence factors and other methods associated with CPE technique are outlined and described. Last, the hyphenations of CPE to various instrumental methods for their determination are summarized and discussed.     

Sensitive ergotamine determination in pharmaceuticals and biological samples using cloud point preconcentration and spectrofluorimetric detection

A new cloud point extraction (CPE) method for ergotamine analysis using fluorimetric detection is described. Ergotamine from an aqueous solution was preconcentrated into a smaller surfactant-rich phase using nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene(7.5)nonylphenylether (PONPE 7.5). Differently from the conventional CPE procedure in which the resulting surfactant-rich phase is diluted by a fluidificant before its analysis, in this method the fluorescence measurements were carried out directly onto the undiluted surfactant-rich phase. The high viscosity provided by the undiluted surfactant rich phase greatly improved the fluorescence emission of ergotamine, leading to a total enhancement factor of 1325. This spectral advantage plus the preconcentration factor achieved, contributed to the method sensitivity allowing the ergotamine determination at trace level concentration. Under optimal experimental conditions, a linear calibration curve was obtained from 3.81 × 10⁻⁷ to 1.10 μg mL⁻¹, with detection and quantification limits of 0.11 and 0.38 pg mL⁻¹, respectively. The accuracy and versatility of the present methodology were proved by analyzing ergotamine in real samples of different natures such as pharmaceuticals, urine and saliva.
