Based on the fact that copper can catalyze the fading reaction of neutral red reduced by hydrogen peroxide using the alanine as a sensitizer in NH4Cl-NH3•H2O medium (pH 8.0), a method was developed for online monitoring of trace copper in environmental waters by flow injection catalytic spectrophotometry. The experimental conditions were optimized. Under optimum conditions, the linear range of the proposed method was between 1.0 µg/L to 125 µg/L and the correlation coefficient of standard curve was 0.9995. The detection limit of the proposed method was 0.11 µg/L. The relative standard deviation of 2.7% and 1.5% was obtained by injecting 15.00 µg/L and 100.00 µg/L copper of standard solution respectively (n=8). The proposed method had been applied to determination of trace amounts of copper in environmental waters. The results were in good agreement with those obtained by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS)

Based on the tannic acid reduction phosphotungstic acid to form blue compound in pH 12.38 alkaline solutions, the shade of blue compound is in a linear relation to the content of tannic acid at the point of the maximum absorption peak of 760 nm. The optimal experimental conditions had been obtained. The linear range of the proposed method was between 200 μgL−1to 80 mgL−1and the detection limit was 0.58 μgL−1. The relative standard deviation was 3.08% and 2.43% for 500 μgL−1and 40 mgL−1of tannic acid standard solution, respectively, (n=10). The method had been successfully applied to determination of tannic acid in colored tannery wastewaters and the analytical results were satisfactory.

This study reports an analytical method for the determination of nitroimidazole and quinolones in honey using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A modified QuEChERS methodology was used to extract the analytes and determine veterinary drugs in honey by LC-MS/MS. The linear regression was excellent at the concentration levels of 1–100 ng/mL in the solution standard curve and the matrix standard curve. The recovery rates of nitroimidazole and quinolones were 4.4% to 59.1% and 9.8% to 46.2% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 5.2% and the recovery rates of nitroimidazole and quinolones by the matrix standard curve ranged from 82.0% to 117.8% and 79% to 115.9% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 6.3% in acacia and jujube honey. The acacia and jujube honeys have stronger matrix inhibition effect to nitroimidazole and quinolones residue; the matrix inhibition effect of jujube honey is stronger than acacia honey. The matrix standard curve can calibrate matrix effect effectively. In this study, the detection method of antibiotics in honey can be applied to the actual sample. The results demonstrated that the modified QuEChERS method combined with LC-MS/MS is a rapid, high, sensitive method for the analysis of nitroimidazoles and quinolones residues in honey.

AbstractA rapid dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) methodology based on the application of 1-hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate [C6py][PF6] ionic liquid (IL) as an extractant solvent was applied for the pre-concentration of trace levels of cobalt prior to determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) was employed as a chelator forming a Co-PMBP complex to extract cobalt ions from aqueous solution into the fine droplets of [C6py][PF6]. Some effective factors that influence the micro-extraction efficiency include the pH, the PMBP concentration, the amount of ionic liquid, the ionic strength, the temperature and the centrifugation time which were investigated and optimized. In the optimum experimental conditions, the limit of detection (3s) and the enrichment factor were 0.70 µg L−1 and 60, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for six replicate determinations of 50 µg L−1 Co was 2.36%. The calibration graph using the pre-concentration system was linear at levels 2–166 µg L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9982. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by the determination of trace amounts of cobalt in several water samples.

Akinetic method for the determination of phenol is proposed. The method is based on the inhibiting effect of phenol on the Mn(II) catalysis of the oxidation of malachite green with potassium periodate. The reaction rate was followed spectrophotometrically at 615 nm. Kinetic expression for the reaction in the presence and absence of phenol are postulated. The optimal experimental conditions for the determination of phenol were established and phenol was determined in concentrations from 30.0 to 188.0 ng/cm3 with a relative standard deviation of 5.5%. The lower detecton limit is 7.8 ng/cm3. The effects of certain foreign ions upon the reaction rate were determined for the assessment of the selectivity of the method. The method was applied for the determination of phenol in tap and river water.

Abstract Lead was determined in the presence of whole multiples of the P/Ca ratio found in Portuguese canned fish by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry with and without using an ashing aid. Under our experimental conditions, use of the ashing aid eliminates P and Ca interference. Results with real samples, spiked with 1, 2,3, and 4 ppm lead, are presented and statistically treated.
