A procedure is presented for measuring bromide in serum filtrates, after protein has been precipitated with a HCI-tungstate reagent. The bromide in the filtrate isoxidized to bromate with hypochlorite. The resulting bromate reacts with added bromide to release bromine. Bromine reacts with rosaniline to form bromorosaniline, which is measured colorimetrically. The method is specific, sensitive, ...

A new procedure for the direct determination of picomolar levels of iron in seawater is presented. Cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV) is preceded by adsorptive accumulation of the iron(III)-2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) complex from seawater, containing 20 microM DHN at pH 8.0, onto a static mercury drop electrode, followed by reduction of the adsorbed species. The reduction current is catal...

Physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) and toxicodynamic (TD) models of bromate in animals and humans would improve our ability to accurately estimate the toxic doses in humans based on available animal studies. These mathematical models are often highly parameterized and must be calibrated in order for the model predictions of internal dose to adequately fit the experimentally measured dos...

The kinetics of the oxidative decolorization of amaranth with KBrO3 acidified by H2SO4 was followed up by monitoring the decrease of the absorbance of amaranth at max = 520 nm. The reaction was carried out under pseudo-first-order conditions. The concentration of BrO3 was ca 300 greater than that of amaranth. The rate of reaction increased with increasing concentration of H2SO4 and BrO3, while...

In this study, a new reaction system for quantitative determination of ascorbic acid was introduced. The developed method is based on inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid on the Orange G-bromate system. The change in absorbance was followed spectrophotometrically at 478 nm. The dependence of sensitivity on the reaction variables including reagents concentration, temperature and time was investiga...

A new, sensitive, simple, inexpensive and fast kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of morphine over the range of 12-60ng/mL. The method is based on the catalytic effect of morphine on the reaction of bromate and methylene bluein acidic media is reported. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by 60 ng/ml measuring the decrease in abs...

In earlier communications we described the re­ sults of an investigation of the main products of the oscillating oxidation of malonic acid by bromate 1. The products were identified as monobromomalonic acid, dibromoacetic acid and C02 . Also, the relative quantities of the two organic products were deter­ mined. Current hypothesis on the mechanism of the reac­ tion pathway under oscillating con...

Recent research projects have shown a good suitability of the ozonation process to transform trace concentrations of most pharmaceuticals in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents. The concentrations of carbamazepine and 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol, for instance, were reduced below their detection limits by use of ozone dosages resulting in a specific ozone consumption of 0.5 mg O3/mg DOC0. ...
