The effect of morphological changes on the coprecipitation of strontium by calcium phosphate

The coprecipitation of strontium by a calcium phosphate phase formed at an elevated pH 10.8 was investigated. The first phase obtained under these conditions in the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) which is transformed into crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) after the induction period. Is has been shown that this transformation together with morphological changes of the precipitated solid phase, influences the amount of the sorbed strontium significantly. The possible consequences of this finding on practical application of coprecipitation of strontium by calcium phosphate have been discussed.     

Analytische Aspekte der Oxydation organischer Stickstoffverbindungen mit Chromsäure. XXIII

Zusammenfassung Die früher beschriebene Halbmikromethode zur Bestimmung von Isonitrosogruppen in organischen Verbindungen wurde in den Mikromaßstab übergeführt. Sie beruht auf der Reaktion der Substanz mit Eisen(III)-sulfat in verd. Schwefelsäure. Dabei wird der Oximstickstoff als Distickstoffoxid frei, das mit Kupfer zu elementarem Stickstoff reduziert und im Mikroazotometer gemessen wird. Für die Berechnung des Oximstickstoffgehaltes aus den abgelesenen Gasvolumina wurden Werte für die konstante und proportionale Volumenkorrektur mit Hilfe der Methode der Regressionsgeraden experimentell festgestellt. Beide Werte sind den bei der N-N-Gruppenbestimmung benützten Volumenkorrekturen fast gleich. Die Bestimmung von Oximgruppen ist durch die Anwesenheit von Nitro- oder Aminogruppen nicht gestört. Diese Gruppen können aus derselben Einwaage durch nachfolgende Oxydation mit Chromsäure bestimmt werden.

Analytical aspects of the oxidation of organic nitrogen compounds with chromic acid. XXIII

Summary The semimicro method previously described for the determination of isonitroso groups in organic compounds has been converted to the microscale. It is based on the reaction of the material with iron(III)-sulfate in dilute sulfuric acid. The oxime nitrogen is thus liberated as dinitrogen oxide, which is reduced to elementary nitrogen by copper and measured in the mieroazotometer. To calculate the oxime nitrogen content from the read-off gas volume, values for the constant and proportional volume correction with the aid of the regression lines were established experimentally. Both values are almost equal in the case of the determination of the volume corrections employed in the determination of the N-N-groups. The presence of nitro-or amino groups does not interfere with the determination of oxime groups. These groups may be determined from the same sample by subsequent oxidation with chromic acid.

Flow injection analysis : Part IX. A New Approach to Continuous Flow Titrations

Studies of dispersion patterns in nonsegmented streams, flowing through narrow open tubes, show that it is possible to obtain highly reproducible concentration gradients within a sample zone injected into the moving stream. By varying the geometry of the flow path, low, medium and high dispersion patterns can be achieved; the high dispersion pattern forms the basis for a new approach to continuous flow titrimetry. In this type of titration, discrete samples are passed through a gradient device and are then mixed with a continuously flowing stream of titrant of fixed concentration. The new technique has been tested for potentiometric as well as spectrophotometric end-point indication. A simple one-channel system allows titrations to be performed automatically in less than 1 min.     

Determination of heptacaine hydrochloride in solution using nuclear analytical methods

The applicability of two nuclear analytical methods for the determination of hepatacaine hydrochloride in solution was studied, i. e. radionuclide X-ray fluorescence analysis and radiometric titrations based on precipitate formations. Methods used were evaluated on the basis of obtained sensitivity values.     

Corrosion of Cu-xZn alloys in slightly alkaline chloride solutions studied by stripping voltammetry and microanalysis

The mechanism of corrosion of Cu-xZn alloys (x = 10-40 wt %) in slightly alkaline chloride solutions was investigated by analysing solid reaction products by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) and dissolved reaction products by differential anodic pulse stripping (DAPS) voltammetry. The corrosion process was studied under open circuit and under potentiostatic conditions at selected potentials. Pure metals were studied comparatively so that an interacting effect of particular metal components in the alloy could be determined. All four Cu-xZn alloys show an improved behaviour compared to pure metals. Under open-circuit condition both components dissolve simultaneously in the solution. With increasing immersion time the preferential, dissolution of zinc in the solution becomes pronounced. It is the highest for Cu-10Zn and the lowest for Cu-30Zn alloy. Under potentiostatic control the dissolution mechanism depends on the electrode potential and changes from exclusive dissolution of zinc to simultaneous dissolution of both components with preferential dissolution of zinc. The latter decreases, as the electrode potential becomes more positive.     

Rapid determination of protein in plant material by flow injection spectrophotometry with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid

The rapid determination of protein in plant material based on spectrophotometric determination of amino acids in protein hydrolysates with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid has been adapted to flow injection analysis. With the manifold described, a routine sampling rate of 120 samples/h is possible, though this, as well as sensitivity, can easily be varied. The method was calibrated against the Kjeldahl method and a good correlation was obtained between the two methods over a wide range of protein values for beans.     

Membrane extraction of pertechnetate with quaternary ammonium salts comparison with solvent extraction

The liquid membrane extraction (MX) and the solvent extraction (SX) of pertechnetate with Aliquat 336 as a carrier has been studied. From the results of SX the percentage of pertechnetate in the inner solution in experiment with LM was proposed. It has been found that the pertraction of pertechnetate depends on the inner solution used and the most effective solutions were those with ClO ₄ ^– and SCN^–. Effects of the carrier concentration in membranes and outer phase composition have been studied too. The results of these experiments were kinetic curves with a minimum, which may be interpreted as a result of competing processes in the systems.     

A simple laboratory generator for low concentrations of sulphur dioxide

The generator is based on permeation of sulphur dioxide through silicone rubber tubes immersed in a buffered, thermostated solution of sodium hydrogensulphite. The generator contains three (or more) permeation tubes of different lengths immersed simultaneously in the generation solution. The tubes can be connected stepwise to the carrier gas source, so that three (or more) different concentrations of SO₂ in the carrier gas can be obtained from a single solution. The tested generator produced 1.25–25.4 ng s^?1 SO₂, depending on the hydrogensulphite concentration in the solution. Long-term stability was tested for the production of 10.49 ng s^?1 over 50 h; the relative standard deviation was 1.57%. The experimental conditions affecting the production of SO₂ are discussed. An equation is derived for estimating the SO₂ production for various solution compositions and surface areas of the permeation tubes.
