The sensing characteristics of a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based sensor utilizing a NiO sensing-electrode (SE) towards toluene (C(7)H(8)) and interfering gases (C(3)H(6), H(2), CO, NO(2) and C(2)H(5)OH) were evaluated with a view to selective C(7)H(8) monitoring in indoor atmospheres. The fabricated YSZ-based sensor showed preferential responses toward 480 ppb C(2)H(5)OH, rather than the...

A novel potentiometric ion-selective PVC membrane sensor for analysis of atorvastatin (AT) in pharmaceutical preparations based on atorvastatin-(tetraphenyl borate), (AT-(TPB)2) as sensing element, tetraphenyl borate as additive and tris-2-ethyl-hexyl phosphate (TOP) as plasticizer solvent was prepared. The electrode shows a good Nernestian response over the concentration range of 0.09–5586 µ...

The interpretation of processes yielding aqueous contaminant removal in the presence of elemental iron (e.g. in Fe(0)/H(2)O systems) is subject to numerous complications. Reductive transformations by Fe(0) and its primary corrosion products (Fe(II) and H/H(2)) as well as adsorption onto and co-precipitation with secondary and tertiary iron corrosion products (iron hydroxides, oxyhydroxides, and...

Spinach chloroplasts catalyse the incorporation of Fe(2+) into protoporphyrin, mesoporphyrin and deuteroporphyrin to form the corresponding haems. This ferrochelatase activity was detected by pyridine haemochrome formation with acetone-dried powders of chloroplasts, or from the formation of [(59)Fe]haems by intact chloroplasts. Decreasing the mitochondrial contamination of the chloroplasts by d...

a new poly(vinylchloride) membrane sensor for cr3+ ions based on di (benzylamino)glyoxime asan ionophore was prepared. the electrode has a linear dynamic range 1×10-6-1×10-1 mol l-1,with anernstian slope of 20.3 ± 0.5 mv per decade and a detection limit of 2×10-7. it has a fast responsetime of

Nanoporous electrodes have been fabricated by selectively dissolving the less noble α-Fe crystalline phase from nanocrystalline Fe85.2B14-xPxCu0.8 alloys (x= 0, 2, 4 at.%). The preferential dissolution is triggered by the weaker electrochemical stability of α-Fe nanocrystals than amorphous phase. The final nanoporous structure is mainly composed of amorphous residual phase and minor undissolved...

Abstract Egg allergy is one of the most common allergies in humans. Allergenic egg protein as ovalbumin abundant found white. A selective electrode electrochemical analysis for albumin from white was developed based on magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (albumin-MMIPs) modified a screen-printed electrode. Surface modification applied using methyl methacrylate polymer to create surface spec...
