A simple and sensitive catalytic fading spectrophometry was developted for determination the trace cobalt in water treated by microwave digestion. The method is based on catalysis of cobalt on the oxidation of acid chrome blue K by potassium periodate with polyethylene glycol-200 as an activator in boric acid-sodium borate buffer solution. Major factors such as microwave digestion conditions, kinds and dosages of media, reagents and activators, the reaction temperature, the reaction time and coexisting irons were investigated and the optimal experimental conditions are determination wavelength 525 nm, at 80°C reacton for 12 min. The linear range and the detection limit of the method are determinated.The maximum relative standard deviation is 5.68 %, and the recoveries are 96.4 % to 105.9 %. The maximum relative error compared with GB( national standard of china 3838-2002) is below 5.52 %.

It was found that ethyl violet can react with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfate (SDBS) to form ion associates in pH 2.2 ~ 2.8 of buffer solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate and hydrochloric acid in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol. Based on this, a method was proposed for online determination of anionic surfactant in environmental waterby. Under the optimum experimental conditions, Beers law was obeyed in the concentration range of 80 µg/L ~ 3500 µg/L of anionic surfactant (SDBS). The relative standard deviation of 2.1% was was obtained by injecting 800 µg/L of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfate standard solution (n=10). The detection limit calculated from three times of the average background noise was 4.39 µg/L. The proposed method had been applied successfully to the determination of anionic surfactant in environmental water and the results showed good agreement with that of the standard method.

A spectrophotometric flow injection method for the determination of Zn(II) in ophthalmic formulations was developed. In this work, Zn(II) ion was complexed with Alizarin red S in borate buffer solution (pH 9.0) and the chromophore produced was monitored at 520 nm. The analytical curve was linear in the Zn(II) concentration range from 6.05 x 10-6 to 1.50 x 10-4 mol L-1 with a detection limit of 3.60 x 10-6 mol L-1. Recoveries ranged from 96.3 to 105 % and a relative standard deviation of 1.2 % (n = 10) for 5.5x10-5 mol L-1 Zn(II) reference solution were obtained. The sampling rate was 60 h-1 and the results obtained of Zn(II) in ophthalmic products using this procedure are in close agreement with those obtained using a comparative spectrophotometric procedure at 95 % confidence level.

Three simple, accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric methods (A, B and C) for the determination of cefuroxime and ceftazidime in bulk samples and in dosage forms are described. They are based on the reaction with nitrous acid forming a nitroso derivatives which can be measured at λmax 350 and 355 nm for cefuroxime (I) and ceftazidime (II), respectively (method A) or by oxidation of drug I or II with an excess of freshly prepared hypobromite and the residual hypobromite was treated with sodium fluorescein at the optimum experimental conditions and measured at λmax at 517 nm (method B). Method C is based on the formation of tris (0-phenanthroline) iron(II) complex (ferroin) upon the oxidation of the studied drug I or II with an iron (III)-o-phenanthroline mixture in acetate buffer solution of pH 3.6 and measuring at λmax 509 nm. Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 0.2 – 6.0, 0.2 – 3.2 and 0.1 – 5.6 μg ml−1 for methods A, B and C, respectively. The apparent molar absorptivity, Sandell sensitivity, detection and quantitation limits were calculated. For more accurate results, Ringbom optimum concentration range was 0.2 – 5.6 μg ml−1. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing dosage forms containing the studied drugs I and II. The relative standard deviations were ≤ 1.25% with recoveries 98.6 – 101.4% .

A disposable colour-changeable optical sensor based on an interesting polymer inclusion-membrane (PIM) was designed to determine Cd(II) ions in aqueous medium. The Schiff base 2-acetylpyridine benzoylhydrazone (2-APBH) immobilised on the polymer membrane was used as a sensing molecule. The amounts of the PIM components were optimised by a 32 fractional factorial design with two central points and two blocks. The best optical sensor composition consisted of 2.5 g of poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) as a base polymer, 3 mL of tributyl phosphate (TBP) as a plasticiser, and 0.02 g of 2-APBH as a reagent. The sensor showed a good linear response in the range from 0.02 mg L−1 (limit of detection) to 1 mg L−1 of Cd(II) under the following experimental conditions: pH 9.5 (adjusted using ammonium chloride buffer solution at 0.337 mol L−1), 60 min of exposure time plus 2 min of sonication (pulses at 2 s intervals), and 10 min of short-term stability. The relative standard deviation of the method was determined to be 4.04% for 0.4 mg L−1 of Cd(II). The optical sensor was successfully applied to the determination of Cd(II) in natural-water and art-paint samples.

Abstract 4,4'-(Diazoamino)-bis(5-methoxy-2-methylbenzenesuIfonic acid), when present as a reaction by-product in FD&C Red No. 40, is shown to decompose rapidly in aqueous solutions of the color additive. The decomposition is halted by the addition of sodium borate buffer. Quantitationly liquid chromatography shows that decomposition is nonlinear with time and follows approximate first order kinetics.

Abstract The difference between theoretical and empirical triglyceride content is a powerful tool to detect the presence of any vegetable oil in olive oil. The current drawback of the method is the separation between equivalent carbon number ECN42 compounds, which affects the reliability of the method and, hence, its cutoff limit. The determination of the triglyceride profile by liquid chromatography using propionitrile as the mobile phase has recently been proposed to improve their quantification, together with a mathematical algorithm whose binary response determines the presence or absence of hazelnut oil. Twenty-one laboratories from 9 countries participated in an interlaboratory study to evaluate the performance characteristics of the whole analytical method. Participants analyzed 12 samples in duplicate, split into 3 intercomparison studies. Statistically significant differences due to the experimental conditions were found in some laboratories, which were detected as outliers by use of Cochran's and Grubbs' tests. The relative standard deviations (RSD) for repeatability and reproducibility were determined following the AOAC Guidelines for Collaborative Studies. The analytical properties of the method were determined by means of the sensitivity (0.86), selectivity (0.94), and reliability (72) for a cutoff limit of 8 (probability 94).

Bottom ash is a part of by-product from the municipal solid waste power plants which is always a wider problem for the urban and rural communities due to its disposal plants may cause serious environmental pollution. This work was focused on the residual heavy metal in an incinerator bottom ash from the municipal waste power plant placed in Nongkham district, Bangkok. Four bottom ash samples were obtained in 2017. After drying and grounding, the bottom ash samples were prepared to clear solution with the microwave digestion technique using nitric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid under the heating program. The total residual heavy metals in the incinerator bottom ashes, such as lead, copper, zinc, and cadmium were determined by using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS) with deuterium background correction. The total concentration of lead, copper, zinc and cadmium were found in the range of 280.40-354.22mg kg-1, 365.35-524.45 mg kg-1, 1,527.25-2,074.34 mg kg-1, and 0.48-1.02 mg kg-1, respectively. The recovery of all metals was found in the range of 89.4-101.2% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was to be 2.15-3.55 % (n=7). The concentration of zinc, copper, and lead was found high levels, while cadmium was low concentration. Heavy metals in solid waste material occur in different chemical forms and phases. The sample preparation based on the microwave digestion was successfully developed for the waste samples with a good reliability.

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.
