Three carbazole chromophores derivatives featuring dicyno, cyano, ethyl acetate and dimethyl acetate groups as an acceptor moiety with a ? – conjugated spacer and N-methyl dibenzo[b]pyrole as donor were investigated electrochemically at a platinum electrode in 0.1 mol/L tetraethylammonium chloride (TEACl) in acetonitrile solvent via cyclic voltammetry, convolution – deconvolution transforms and digital simulation techniques. Cyclic voltammetric study revealed that the presence of a single reversible oxidative peak due to two sequential electron transfer (EE scheme) and unidirectional reductive peak which proceed as ECEC mechanism. The electrode reaction pathway, the relevant chemical and electrochemical parameters of the investigated carbazole chromophores were determined using cyclic voltammetry, convolution- deconvolution transforms and chronoamperograms.

The electrochemical behavior and the electrode reaction of quinolone azo dye compound was investigated using convolutive cyclic voltammetry at mercury electrode in 50% (v/v) ethanolic Britton-Robinson solutions of pH 2.5 – 12.0. Four electrons slow reduction wave was consumed in acidic and alkaline solutions corresponding to the reduction of the more easily N = N center. A second more cathodic irreversible , pH – dependent, 2-electron wave represents the reduction of quinolone ring. Cyclic voltammetry and convolution transforms were used to determine the kinetic parameters of the electroactive species.The extracted electrochemical parameters were confirmed via digital simulation.Controlled potential coulometry technique was used for calculation the overall number of electrons involved in electrode reaction.

The present work aims to report the investigation of the electrochemical behavior of 3- arylazomethine-1,2,4-triazole derivatives in universal aqueous buffer series at mercury electrode. The electrode behavior of the studied compounds was performed via voltammetric studies, chronoamperometry, convoluted transforms, and dp polarography techniques. The relevant chemical and electrochemical parameters of 3- aryl azomethine -1,2,4- triazole derivatives were determined experimentally in universal aqueous buffer series as supporting electrolyte at mercury electrode. CPC was used for determination of the number of electrons to elucidate the mechanistic pathway of electrode reaction of aryl azomethine triazole compounds. Digital simulation method was used to confirm the accuracy of the experimental chemical parameters (homogeneous chemical rate constant) and electrochemical parameters (heterogeneous rate constant, symmetry coefficient and redox potential) via matching between the experimental and theoretical cyclic voltammograms.

The electrochemical behavior of 5-(4-Dimethylamino-benylidene)-1,3-diethyl-2-thioxo-dihydro-pyrimidine-4,6-dione at a plat-inum electrode was studied by semi-integration, semi differentiation of current, and digital simulation methods in 0.1 mol/L tetra-ethylammonium perchlorate (TEACl) in acetonitrile solvent. Cyclic voltammetric study revealed that the presence of three oxidative peaks due to the presence of two electron transfer coupled by chemical reaction (EC) and followed by electron transfer (E) step then EC, i.e., the overall process is ECEEC scheme. On going to negative potential there are two unidirectional reductive peaks associated with the oxida-tive peaks. The elucidation of the electrode behavior, the electrochemical and chemical data of the compound under investigation was de-termined using sweep voltammetry, semi integration & semi differentiation of current. The calculated electrochemical parameters and the nature of the electrode reaction were established & confirmed via generation of the theoretical cyclic voltammograms.

Application of exponential infinite series gives highly accurate analytical solution contributing to the theory of linear sweep voltammetry for single scan experiments. We have calculated theoretical dimensionless current function (usually denoted as π1/2χ(bt)) at relevant potentials for irreversible charge transfer without a coupled chemical reaction. For this purpose several transformation techniques were used, which convert the derived infinite series into summable sequences. Since infinite series of further electrochemical mechanisms with irreversible electrode reaction have similar features (particularly those comprising preceding and catalytic chemical reaction), the same approach can be successfully applied also for further electrochemical mechanisms. The respective infinite series are divergent in the most important potential region at and after voltammetric peak therefore their transformation by Epsilon and Levin transform techniques was used. Necessary arbitrary precision arithmetic (APA) was implemented by UBASIC. The results were compared to the customary solution of Nicholson and Shain, who computed the current-potential curves by means of numerical solution of the integral equations but with a much lower precision. Our results were obtained in a broad potential range including the potential regions where the series are divergent. Obtained current functions are precise to 12 valid decimal numbers, which is utilizable for evaluation of the results achieved by various faster but less precise digital simulation techniques.

Abrasive stripping voltammetry was applied to the investigation of the reductive dissolution of some iron(III) oxides and hydroxy-oxides, particularly goethite (α-FeOOH), in acid media. The electrode reaction directly involves the solid phase, and the reaction pathway depends on the phase composition and particle shape. This can be used for a qualitative and quantitative characterization of goethite. The results of a quantitative analysis of a mixture of goethite (α-FeOOH) and lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) are compared with those of IR and Moessbauer spectroscopic examination. The effects of the particle appearance (shape, crystal intergrowth) on the results of the voltammetric and chronoamperometric measurements are discussed.

Abstract The issue of training operators in the use of machinery is topical in the industrial field and in many other contexts, such as university laboratories. Training is about learning how to use machinery properly and safely. Beyond the possibility of studying manuals to learn how to use a machine, operators typically learn through on-the-job training. Indeed, learning by doing is in general more effective, tasks done practically are remembered more easily, and the training is more motivating and less tiresome. On the other hand, this training method has several negative factors. In particular, safety may be a major issue in some training situations. An approach that may contribute overcoming negative factors is using Virtual Reality and digital simulation techniques for operators training. The research work presented in this paper concerns the development of a multisensory Virtual Reality application for training operators to properly use machinery and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The context selected for the study is a university laboratory hosting manufacturing machinery. The application allows user to navigate the laboratory, to approach a machine and learn about how to operate it, and also to use proper PPE while operating a machine. Specifically, the paper describes the design and implementation of the application and presents the results of preliminary testing sessions.
