چکیده

Polarographicdata are presented for the reduction of selenite ion in 3M sulfuric acid, 1M potassium chloride, and 1M ammonia-ammonium chloride. In these first two media two waves are obtained correspondingto the diffusion-controlled reduction of selenite ion to selenium amalgam and the adsorption of selenite ion on the mercury drop, respectively. One wave is obtained in ammonia-ammonium chloride correspondingto the reduction of selenite to selenide ion. Selenium has been determined in urine over a concentration range of 0.0063 to 0.175 mM. (0.5 to 14 sg./mi., in a 10-mi. sample) with an average error of 2 per cent. The effects of the time and method of storage on the lossof selenium by urine have been investigated. Although selenium is lost by urine under all methods investigated, storage in a deep freeze results in greater sample stability. It was also found that this loss could be prevented if the urine was made 1 molar to nitric acid.

Simultaneous Determination of Copper, Zinc and Selenium in Chicken Liver by Differential Pulse Polarography

A differential pulse polarographic method for the determination of copper, zinc and selenium in chicken liver is described. It was possible to determine these elements in a single sample solution after acid digestion. Dried liver samples weighing about 3 g were digested using HNO3 and HClO4 acids. Britton-Robinson or acetate buffer has been found suitable as the supporting electrolyte. For the ...

Anodic polarographic determination of josamycin in formulations and spiked human urine.

The anodic polarographic behaviour of josamycin (a macrolide antibiotic) has been studied using direct current (DC(t)) polarography and differential pulse polarography (DPP). In Britton-Robinson buffers (BRb) josamycin exhibited well-defined anodic polarographic waves in the pH range 2-8. In BRb of pH 6, the diffusion-current constant was 1.62 microA mmol(-1) (n = 6). The current-concentration ...

A catalytic-kinetic method for the determination of selenium is proposed. Alizarin navy blue is reduced by sodium sulfide to from a colorless product. The reaction is accelerated by trace amounts of Se (IV), and can be followed by measuring the decrease in absorbance of the dye at 620nm and 30 °C by the fixed time method. Selenium can be determined in the range of 0.004 — 0.12 1.1g.m1-1 . ...
