Abstract

A rapid sequence of oxidation and iodination using 2-iodosobenzoate as an oxidizing agent and N,N-dimethylaniline as an iodine scavenger at pH 6.4, when 4-iodo-N,N-dimethylaniline is formed, has been used for the determination of iodide by GC-MS. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) and single drop microextraction (SDME) have been used for the extraction of the iodo-derivative and their relative efficiencies compared. Pharmaceutical samples were subjected to solid phase extraction (SPE) for cleanup and the eluate analyzed for iodide. Iodate in salt samples was reduced to iodide with ascorbic acid. Milk powder and dried vegetables were wet combusted with peroxydisulfate to liberate covalently bound iodine as iodate which was reduced before derivatization. A rectilinear calibration graph was obtained for 0.1 microg-10 mg l(-1) iodide by both extraction methods, the correlation coefficient and limit of detection (LOD) were 0.9995 and 25 ng l(-1) iodide by SPME method, and 0.9998 and 10 ng l(-1) iodide by SDME method, respectively. SDME appeared to be more efficient technique than SPME for the present system. From the pooled data, the average recovery of spiked iodide to real samples was 100.7% (range 96.5-107.0%) with an average R.S.D. of 3.1% (range 2.6-4.5%).

New hexamethine-hemicyanine dyes for the development of integrated optochemical sensors.

New far-visible absorbing anilino-cyanine dyes have been synthesised for future application as chromoionophores in integrated waveguide absorbance optodes based on bulk optodes. The effect of the heterocycle, of the substitution of the heterocyclic nitrogen and of the type of heptamethine central ring on the pKa values (4.3-8.2 in ethanol-water solutions and 9.5-11.0 in plasticised PVC membranes), on the spectroscopic characteristics of the dye and on photostability is discussed. pH-selective bulk optodes have been formulated as a first approach to develop ion-selective optodes, and sensitivity, repeatability, lifetime and response time have been determined. The dyes show good analytical behaviour for use as chromoionophores for the development of ion-selective optodes. Reversible (80-87%), fast (tr90%=0.94-2.28 min) and pH-sensitive membranes (slopes of 0.09-0.23 DeltaAbs.pHdec-1, absorbance range 0.19-0.53) have been obtained. Moreover, they exhibit good spectroscopic features for employment with integrated optochemical sensors: absorption maxima of the acidic species in plasticised PVC membranes matched those of 650-670-nm LEDs, high molar absorption coefficients (epsilonacidic=3.5x10(4)-9.3x10(4) L mol-1 cm-1 and epsilonbasic=1.9x10(4)-6.7x10(4) L mol-1 cm-1) and fluorescence.

A new simple method with high precision for determining the toxicity of antifouling paints on brine shrimp larvae (Artemia): first results.

The use of antifouling paints is the only truly effective method for the protection of underwater structures from the development of fouling organisms. In the present study, the surface to volume concept constitutes the basis for the development of a new and improved method for determining the toxicity of antifouling paints on marine organisms. Particular emphasis is placed on the attainment of a standardized uniformity of coated surfaces. Failure to control the thickness of the coat of paint in previous studies of this type, has led to inaccurate evaluation of the relative toxicity of samples. Herein, an attempt is made to solve this problem using a simple technique which gives completely uniform and smooth surfaces. The effectiveness of this technique is assessed through two series of experiments using two different types of test containers: 50 ml modified syringes and 7 ml multiwells. The results of the toxicity experiments follow a normal distribution around the average value which allows to consider these values as reliable for comparison of the level of toxic effect detected with the two types of test containers. The mean lethal concentration L(S/V)(50) in the test series conducted in the multiwells (20.38 mm(2)ml(-1)) does not differ significantly from that obtained in the test series using modified syringes (20.065 mm(2)ml(-1)). It can thus be concluded from this preliminary study that the new method and the two different ways of exposing the test organisms to the antifouling paints and their leachates gave reliable and replicable results.

Doping nanoparticles into polymers and ceramics using ultrasound radiation.

In materials science, sonochemistry is mostly used for the fabrication of nanomaterials, but it has also been used for the polymerization of monomers. The current review is aimed at introducing a new application of sonochemistry to materials science, i.e., the doping of nanoparticles into polymers and ceramic bodies. The introduction will present a short overview of sonochemistry, and will outline the advantages of sonochemistry as a tool for fabricating nanomaterials.
