A simple and selective carbon paste electrode has been developed for the electrochemicaldetermination of acyclovir (ACV). This electrode was designed by incorporation of multiwalledcarbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ZnO nanoparticles into the carbon paste matrix,and then poly (o-aminophenol; OAP) film were subsequently electropolymerized on it. Thesurface structure of nanoparticles were characterize...

Accurate measurements of soil macronutrients (i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) are needed for efficient agricultural production, including site-specific crop management (SSCM), where fertilizer nutrient application rates are adjusted spatially based on local requirements. Rapid, non-destructive quantification of soil properties, including nutrient levels, has been possible with optica...

The aim of this study was to construct and characterize an ion selective electrode for the potentiometric determination of thorium ions. On hand study we introduced a new calixarene molecule p-tert-butyl-thiacalix[4]arene derivative as ionophore for thorium(IV) selective polymeric membrane electrode. Due to the decisive role of solvent mediators, we fabricated membranes with the plasticizers DB...

In this research, selective flotation of Mo from the Sungun Cu-Mo concentrate was evaluated in different operating conditions. It was found that the addition of 16 kg/t Na2S into flotation pulp and aeration decreased rapidly the initial oxidized- reduction potential (ORP) of the pulp from +228mV to -597 mV (with reference to standard Ag/AgCl electrode) and increasing the amount of Na2S by 50kg/...

A bis-boronic acid modified electrode for the sensitive and selective determination of glucose concentrations has been developed. The electrochemical characteristics of the sensor with added saccharides were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The bis-boronic acid modified electrode was both sensitive and selective for glucose.

developing simple, sensitive and selective sensing systems for dopamine is important due to its biological significance. in this work, a silver nanoparticles-modified carbon paste electrode (agnps-cpe) has been constructed and used to detect of dopamine (da) in the simultaneous presence of ascorbic acid (aa) and uric acid (ua) at neutral ph 7.0 by cyclic voltammetry. the modified electrode show...

The potentiometric response characteristics and analytical applications of a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)-free all-solid-state ion-selective electrode for chlorhexidine (CHX) are examined and compared to those of PVC-based solid-state electrode. The PVCfree electrode is prepared by direct incorporation of chlorhexidine-tetraphenyl borate (CHXTPB) as a sensing element into a commercial nail varnis...

In the present paper, electrochemical methods were used to investigate the behavior of ascorbic acid at a carbon paste electrode modified with 2,2'-((1E)-(1,2 phenylenebis(azanylylidene)) bis(methanylylidene))bis(benzene-1,4-diol) (PBD) and oxidized multiwall carbon nanotubes. The modified carbon paste electrode showed high electrocatalytic activity toward ascorbic acid; the current was enhance...

A cationic surfactant-selective electrode for sensitive analysis of cationic surfactant has been developed by using a plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) membrane based on nanocomposite cation exchanger polypyrrole zirconium titanium phosphate. The electrode is excellently selective for the cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) ion over inorganic ions and other cationic surfactants. The membran...
