Determination of furfural in an oscillating chemical reaction using an analyte pulse perturbation technique

A rapid and convenient method for the determination of furfural is presented that is based upon sequential perturbation of the Mn(II)-catalyzed B-Z oscillating system with different amounts of furfural using a continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CSTR). When the sample was injected, the change in the amplitude and/or period was linearly proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of furfural over the range 3×10⁻⁸∼1×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹. This method gave a detection limit of 3×10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ under optimum conditions. Finally, the possible mechanism of furfural perturbation in the oscillating reaction is discussed. When the furfural was injected into the Mn(II)-catalyzed B-Z oscillating system, the change in the amplitude and/or period was linearly proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of furfural over the range 3×10⁻⁸~1×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹, with a detection limit of 3×10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ under optimum conditions.      

Kinetic determination of morphine by means of Bray-Liebhafsky oscillatory reaction system using analyte pulse perturbation technique

A novel kinetic method for micro-quantitative determinations of morphine (MH) is proposed and validated. The method is based on the potentiometric monitoring of the concentration perturbations of the oscillatory reaction system being in a stable non-equilibrium stationary state close to the bifurcation point between stable and oscillatory state. The response of the Bray-Liebhafsky (BL) oscillatory reaction as a matrix system, to the perturbations by different concentrations of morphine, is followed by a Pt-electrode. The proposed method relies on the linear relationship between maximal potential shift, ΔE_m, and the logarithm of the added morphine amounts in the range of 0.004-0.18 μmol. Under optimum conditions, the sensitivity of the proposed method (as the limit of detection) is 0.001 μmol and the method is featured by good precision (R.S.D. = 1.6%) as well as the excellent sample throughput (45 samples h⁻¹). In addition to standard solution analysis, this approach was successfully applied for quantitative determination of morphine in a typical pharmaceutical dosage form. Some aspects of the possible mechanism of morphine action on the BL oscillating chemical system are discussed in detail.

An initial-rate potentiometric method for the determination of uric acid using a fluoride ion-selective electrode

The principle of a general potentiometric method based on Emerson-Trinder reaction for the assay of various hydrogen peroxide generating systems is reported. Emerson-Trinder reaction, habitually employed as a spectrophotometric indicator reaction, is exploited in this method as a potentiometric indicator reaction. This method is based on the detection of F⁻ ions, liberated from the oxidation of a fluorophenol compound used as hydrogen-donor in Emerson-Trinder reaction, by a fluoride ion-selective electrode. The ability and usefulness of this method are illustrated by an initial-rate potentiometric determination of uric acid in aqueous and human serum samples, for which, initial-rate reaction progress curves, linear calibration curve, within-day precisions, upper and lower detection limits, and also its analytical recovery were reported.

Determination of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-nitrobenzene-azo-naphthol by an oscillating chemical reaction using the analyte pulse perturbation technique

A simple analytical method for the determination of p-nitrobenzene-azo-naphthol was proposed by a sequential perturbation with different amounts of p-nitrobenzene-azo-naphthol on an oscillating chemical system. The method involves a Cu(II)-catalysed oscillating reaction between hydrogen peroxide and sodium thiocyanate in alkaline medium with the aid of continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CSTR). A good linear relationship between the changes, oscillation amplitude or/and period, and the concentration of p-nitrobenzene-azo-naphthol was obtained. The use of analyte pulse perturbation technique provides a possibility of sequential determination in a same oscillating system, due to a new steady state that reappeared rapidly after each perturbation. The calibration curve fits a linear equation very well when the concentration of p-nitrobenzene-azo-naphthol ranging from 5.2×10⁻⁷ to 3.3×10⁻³M. Influence of temperature, injection point, flow rate and reactants variables on this system were investigated in detail.     

Determination of p-nitroaniline by the tartrate-acetone-Mn2+-KBrO3-H2SO4 double organic substrate oscillating system using non-equilibrium stationary state

This paper described the determination of p-nitroaniline in a double organic substrate oscillating system of tartrate-acetone-Mn²⁺-KBrO₃-H₂SO₄. Under the optimum conditions, temperature was chosen as a control parameter to design the bifurcation point and proposed a convenient method for determination of p-nitroaniline. Results showed that the system consisting of 3.5 mL 0.06 mol L⁻¹ tartrate, 4.0 mL 0.7 mol L⁻¹ H₂SO₄, 1.5 mL 1.5×10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ MnSO₄, 4.0 mL 0.4 mol L⁻¹ acetone and 7.0 mL 0.05 mol L⁻¹ KBrO₃ was very sensitive to the surrounding at 33.5°C. A good linear relationship between the potential difference and the negative logarithm concentration of p-nitroaniline was obtained to be in the range of 2.50×10⁻⁷∼3.75×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ with a lower detection limit of 2.50×10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹.      

Determination of ascorbic acid in pharmaceutical dosage forms and urine by means of an oscillatory reaction system using the pulse perturbation technique

A simple and reliable method for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) is proposed and validated. It is based on potentiometric monitoring of the concentration perturbations of an oscillatory reaction system in a stable nonequilibrium stationary state close to the bifurcation point. The response of the Bray–Liebhafsky (BL) oscillatory reaction as a matrix, to the perturbation by different concentrations of AA, is followed by a Pt electrode. The linear relationship between maximal potential shift and the logarithm of the amount of AA is obtained between 0.01 and 1.0 μmol. The sensitivity of the proposed method (as the limit of detection) is 0.009 μmol and the method has excellent sample throughput (30 samples per hour). The procedure was used for AA determination in pharmaceutical formulations and urine. The results are in agreement with those obtained using the official method. Some aspects of the possible mechanism of AA action on the BL oscillating chemical system are discussed.

A new sensitive method for the spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum using 3-hydroxy-2-(2'-thienyl)-4H-chromen-4-one

A spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of Molybdenum (VI) using 3-hydroxy-2-(2'-thienyl)-4H-chromen-4-one as a complexing agent. The complex formed was dissolved in water in the presence of Triton X-100 and exhibits an absorption maximum at 410 nm. A large number of metal ions like Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Cr(III), Zn(II), Cu(II), Hg(II), Bi(III), Fe(II), Fe(III), Zr(IV), V(V) can be tolerated at an appreciable concentrations. Molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of the method is 2.80 x 10(5) l mol-1cm-1 and 3.42 x 10(-4) micrograms cm-2, respectively. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 0.01-0.4 ppm Mo(VI). Aliquots containing 0.2 ppm of Mo(VI) give a mean absorbance of 0.56 with a relative standard deviation of 1.3%.     

Investigation of concentration waves in the Fe(dipy) 3 2+ -NaBrO3-CH2(COOH)2-H2SO4 reaction

The concentration waves in the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction with the participation of the iron (II, III) complexes with 2,2-dipyridine have been discussed, and the concentration region for their existence has been determined. The dependence of the parameters of the autonomous waves (their velocity, amplitude, length, and period) on the initial concentrations of the reactants has been established experimentally. It has been shown that the dependence of the period of the waves on the initial bromate concentration is described by the equation T(c)= 1.1 [NaBrO₃]^–2.1. The dependence of the velocity of the waves on the initial bromate concentration is accurately described by the equations v (mm/sec)=0.210[NaBrO₃]^1/2 and v (mm/sec)=0.205[NaBrO₃]^1/2, respectively, for waves with maximal and minimal lengths (periods). It has been concluded that pacemaker centers which generate waves with short periods (and lengths) appear under the influence of heterogeneities in the solution. The influence of heterogeneities on the parameters of the waves with minimal lengths makes them less suitable for the study of the concentration dependence of the parameters.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 6, pp. 669–676, November–December, 1985.     

Production of (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidic acid methyl ester using an emulsion bioreactor containing lipase fromSerratia marcescens

An emulsion bioreactor for production of (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) glycidic acid methyl ester ([-]MPGM) from a racemic mixture ([±]MPGM) using the lipase fromSerratia marcescens has been proposed. Kinetics of hydrolyzing reaction and purification of (-)MPGM from the reaction mixture were investigated to provide a basis for industrial application of this bioreactor. The hydrolyzing reaction in the bioreactor proceeded at a rate that was first order in substrate concentration. The reaction rate was affected by a stirring speed and the ratio of the aqueous phase containing lipase to the toluene phase containing substrate. Phase separation after the enzymatic reaction was accomplished by addition of surfactant to the reaction mixture, and crystalline (-)MPGM with a chemical purity of 100% and optical purity of 100% enantiomeric excess was obtained in a high yield of 40–43% by concentration of the toluene solution.     

Simultaneous determination of epinephrine, uric acid and xanthine in the presence of ascorbic acid using an ultrathin polymer film of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol modified electrode

This paper describes the simultaneous determination of epinephrine (EP), uric acid (UA) and xanthine (XN) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) using electropolymerized ultrathin film of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (p-ATT) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode in 0.2 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 5). Although bare GC electrode resolves the voltammetric signals of AA and XN, it fails to resolve the voltammetric signals of EP and UA in a mixture. However, the p-ATT modified electrode not only separates the voltammetric signals of AA, EP, UA and XN with potential difference of 150, 120 and 400 mV between AA-EP, EP-UA and UA-XN, respectively but also shows higher oxidation current for these molecules. The p-ATT modified electrode exhibits excellent selectivity towards the oxidation of EP, UA and XN in the presence of 40-fold higher concentration of AA. Further, the p-ATT modified electrode was also used for the selective determination of EP in the presence of 40-fold higher concentrations of AA, UA and XN. Using amperometric method, we achieved the lowest detection of 40 nM EP and 60 nM each UA and XN. The amperometric current response was increased linearly with increasing EP concentration in the range of 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 4.0 × 10⁻⁵ M and the detection limit was found to be 27 × 10⁻¹¹ M (S/N = 3). The practical application of the present modified electrode was demonstrated by determining the concentration of EP in epinephrine tartrate injection and XN in human urine samples.
