The est~mat~on f cyanide IS generally done by titrimetry, colorimetry and polarography but each method has its own limitations. Argenlometric titration method IS not satisfactory at low cyanide concentralion at ppm levels. Distillation and colorimetry method is accurate but time consuming. Presence of large quant~t~es of chloride does not permit the use of ion selective electrodes. Other method...

an efficient separation-preconcentration procedure namely hollow fiber solid/liquid phase microextraction (hf-slpme) was developed for determination of trace amounts of palladium in water samples by differential pulse voltammetry. in this method, a hybrid sorbent utilizing functionalized nanoparticles incorporated in an organic solvent was used as the extractor phase. the nanoparticle dis­perse...

A simple and highly sensitive voltammetric method was developed for the determination of benazepril (I) and ramipril (II). The compounds were treated with nitrous acid, and the cathodic current produced by the resulting nitroso derivatives was measured. The voltammetric behavior was studied by adopting direct current (DCt), differential pulse (DPP), and alternating current (ACt) polarography. B...

The voltammetric behavior of isradipine was studied using direct current (DC(t)), differential-pulse (DPP) and alternating current (AC(t)) polarography. Isradipine exhibited well-defined cathodic waves over the whole pH range in Britton-Robinson buffer (BRb). At pH 5, the analytical pH, the diffusion-current constant (Id) was 8.27+/-0.52. The current-concentration plots were rectilinear over th...

Background Based on previous findings, we have estimated that, in injured coronary artery tissue, the low molecular weight disulfides homocystine and cysteine-homocysteine, otherwise identified as oxidized homocysteine equivalents (OHcyE), may achieve a total concentration that is higher than the aqueous solubility of homocystine at room temperature. In order to verify whether or not OHcyE coul...

A simple and highly sensitive voltammetric method was developed for the determination of isoxsuprine HCl (I) and fenoterol HBr (II) in dosage forms and biological fluids. The method is based on treatment of the two compounds with nitrous acid followed by measuring the cathodic current produced by the resulting nitroso derivatives. The voltammetric behavior was studied adopting Direct Current (D...

Derivatives of quinoxalin-2-one are interesting compounds with potential pharmacological activity. From this point of view, understanding of their electrochemical behavior is of great importance. In the present paper, a mechanism of electrochemical reduction of quinoxalin-2-one derivatives at mercury dropping electrode was proposed. Pyrazine ring was found to be the main electroactive center un...

TYPES OF MELTS From the practical viewpoint, melts may be classified according to melting points which may limit the available techniques. The lowest melting, with working temperatures up to 250°, are typified by the LiNO3—NaNO3— KNO3 eutectic, NaNO3—KNO3 eutectic, LiClO4, and ammonium formate. With these solvents it is possible to use the dropping mercury electrode, or hanging mercury drop ele...
