Abstract. The aragonite deposits within the ear bones (otoliths) of teleost fish retain a chemical signal reflecting the life history of fish (similar to rings of trees) and the nature of fish habitats. Otoliths dissolved in acid solutions contain high concentrations of calcium and a variety of proteins. Elimination of matrix salts and organic interferences during preconcentration is essential for...
Abstract. The electrochemical activity of poly(8-hydroxyquinoline) (PHQ) in acid and alkaline media has been investigated by use of differential pulse polarography (DPP). The reduction peak height (Ip) of PHQ in universal buffer solutions is not useful as an analytical signal, because it is highly affected by hydrogen evolution in acid media and appears as a small peak located at more negative potential...
Abstract. The employment of O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine (PFBHA) derivatization along with bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) or N,N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) derivatization is a popular method for measurement of oxygenated organics in environmental and biological samples. Most notably, the derivatization method enables the measurement of atmospheric...
Abstract. The capillary electrophoretic separation was accomplished for Fe(II) and Ni(II) precomplexed with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in 2M n-butyric acid/n-butyrate buffer at pH 4.5 with direct UV detection at 260nm. The applied voltage was 5kV. The high concentration buffer of the n-butyrate resulted in a similar separation mechanism to that of ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography...
Abstract. A rapid and simple method for separation and determination of tributyltin (TBT) in mineral and tap water is described. The procedure is based on the selective retention of TBT by a chelating resin, Amberlite XAD-2 impregnated with tropolone. The addition of 0.8% sulfuric acid to the water sample leads to the retention of TBT by the resin while monobutyltin (MBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and inorganic...
Abstract. A chemiluminescent enzyme-immunoassay for urinary 1-hydroxypyrene has been developed and optimized. The enzymatic activity of horseradish peroxidase-labeled tracer was measured with an enhanced chemiluminescent system and the results were compared with those from conventional colorimetric detection. The method fulfilled all the requirements of accuracy and precision and the detection limit...
Abstract. The speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) has been performed by using activated neutral alumina as adsorbent. Both species were quantitatively adsorbed on a small column filled with neutral alumina. The adsorbed Cr(III) was eluted with 4molL1 HNO3 and Cr(VI) with 1.0molL1 ammonia solution. Recoveries of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 99% and 100%, respectively. Using ETAAS for Cr determination the limit...
Abstract. The chemicals endosulfan-, endosulfan-, endosulfan sulfate, endosulfan ether, endosulfan lactone, PCB-21, PCB-48, PCB-61, and PCB-136 have been determined in 100 serum samples from women living in agricultural areas of Almera (Spain). The study includes a surgically treated breast cancer patient and a matching group of women with no sign of estrogenic-dependent disease. The determination...
Abstract. The use of silylation of glassware in mercury analytics was investigated. By treating the glassware with 5% (v/v) dichlorodimethylsilane in toluene, the surfaces of the vessels were inactivated. Method development proved that silylation can extend the range of stabile, contamination-free area as low as 1ng/L mercury without any significant investments in laboratory clean-room facilities...
Abstract. The packing of large-diameter columns for liquid chromatography is still difficult and numerous publications have reported results from tests which prove the packing is heterogeneous. The slurry is more compact in the wall region and this reduces the flow of the mobile phase, leading to distortion of the sample zone in the column and generation of peak tailing. A new type of injection system...
Abstract. A simple and rapid procedure, utilising constant-current stripping analysis (CCSA) at a carbon-paste electrode containing tricresyl phosphate as a pasting liquid (TCP-CPE), has been developed for the determination of iodide in table salt. Because of a synergistic accumulation mechanism based on ion-pairing and extraction of iodide in combination with electrolytic pretreatment of the TCP-CPE,...
Abstract. Sequential extraction procedures are mostly applied to soils and sediments. Investigations were made for testing the applicability of a selected extraction scheme on spoil pile material. Therefore, different spoil pile samples from uranium mining were extracted into four steps (exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable, and aqua regia soluble phase) and the contents of the elements Cr, Cu, Fe,...
Abstract. A Pd/IrO2 co-electrodeposited glassy carbon electrode was prepared and the electrochemical behavior of glutathione (GSH) at this chemically modified electrode (CME) has been studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results indicated that the modified electrode efficiently exhibited electrocatalytic oxidation for GSH with relatively high sensitivity, stability, and long-life. Coupled with...
Abstract. The application of high-resolution multi-step resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) to the trace determination of the rare earth element gadolinium is described. Utilizing three-step resonant excitation into an autoionizing level, both isobaric and isotopic selectivity of 107 were attained. An overall detection efficiency of ~107 and an isotope specific detection limit of 1.5109...
Abstract. Electrodes based on oxidized polypyrrole films have potentiometric selectivity toward anions. When the films are overoxidized, however, electron-rich groups are introduced on to the polymer chains, reversing the selectivity of the electrodes from anionic to cationic. In this study, electrochemically overoxidized polypyrrole film electrodes were prepared, and the conditions for film formation...
