Various calorimetric methods of estimating epinephrine have been described by different workers using different chemical reagents such as potassium persulfate (I), mercuric chloride (2-4), potassium iodate (5), ammonium molybdate (6), diazobenzenesulfonic acid (7), and the ninhydrin test (8). None of the methods, however, is satisfactory for the estimation of epinephrine in blood. Some are not ...

cis-3-Acetoxy-4-(3-aryloxiran-2-yl)azetidin-2-ones were prepared through a Staudinger [2+2]-cyclocondensation between acetoxyketene and the appropriate epoxyimines in a highly diastereoselective way. Subsequent potassium carbonate-mediated acetate hydrolysis, followed by intramolecular ring closure through epoxide ring opening, afforded stereodefined 3-aryl-4-hydroxy-2-oxa-6-azabicyclo[3.2.0]he...

Macroporous polyacrylamide-grafted-chitosan scaffolds for neural tissue engineering were fabricated with varied synthetic and viscosity profiles. A novel approach and mechanism was utilized for polyacrylamide grafting onto chitosan using potassium persulfate (KPS) mediated degradation of both polymers under a thermally controlled environment. Commercially available high molecular mass polyacryl...

The catalytic activity of four metal ions the fourth period table by D.I. Mendeleev in oxidation potassium iodide with ammonium persulfate. greatest increase reaction rate is observed presence copper sulfate, least cobalt and nickel salts

The Du Pont aca “NBIL” test (Du Pont Instruments, Wilmington, DE 19898) also measures bilirubin spectrophotometrically. Figure 2 shows an approximate linear relationship between “apparent” biliburin concentration, as measured with the Bilirubin Stat-Analyzer and the aca NBIL test, vs Liposyn concentration in a neonatal serum sample. This sample without added Liposyn gave identical total bilirub...

A flow-injection system with a glassy carbon disk electrode modified with Prussian Blue film is proposed for the determination of persulfate in commercial samples of hair bleaching boosters by amperometry. The detection was obtained by chronoamperometric technique and the sample is injected into the electrochemical cell in a wall jet configuration. Potassium chloride at concentration of 0.1 mol...

With the increasing demand for novel process analytical technologies in recent years, Raman spectroscopy has been one of the powerful choices for in-situ reaction monitoring. In this paper, we discuss the use of in-situ Raman spectroscopy and the novel multivariate data analysis method, Band-Target Entropy Minimization (BTEM), to monitor the polymerization of methacrylamide using potassium pers...

Determination of total nitrogen in aqueous samples after potassium persulfate digestion compared favorably in both precision and nitrogen recovery with determinations obtained using Kjeldahl digestion. The determination of total nitrogen (TN = inorganic and organic fixed nitrogen) has largely depended either on acid Kjeldahl digestion ( cf. Strickland and Parsons 1972) or on photo-oxidation (Ar...
