a partial least squares (pls) calibration model was developed for the simultaneous spectrophotometricdetermination of pb (ιι), cu (ιι) and ni (ιι) using xylenol orange as a chromogenic reagent. the parameterscontrolling behavior of the system were investigated and optimum conditions were selected. the calibrationgraphs were linear in the ranges of 0.0–9.091, 0.0–2.719 and 0.0–2.381 ppm for lead...

a complexometric method for the determination of titanium in the presence of other metal ions based on the selective masking ability of 5-sulphosalicylic acid towards titanium is described. titanium (iv) present in a given sample solution is complexed with a known excess of edta and surplus edta is titrated against zinc sulphate solution at ph 5-6 using xylenol orange as the indicator. a known ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Synthetic dyes represent a broad and heterogeneous class of durable pollutants, that are released in large amounts by the textile industry. The ability of two immobilized metalloporphines (structurally emulating the ligninolytic peroxidases) to bleach six chosen dyes (alizarin red S, phenosafranine, xylenol orange, methylene blue, methyl green, and methyl orange) was co...

A rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrate in vegetables is described. The method is based on the measurement of the absorbance of yellow sodium nitrophenoxide formed via the reaction of phenol with the vegetable-based nitrate in presence of sulphuric acid. The analytical concentration of the acid has marked effect on the nitrate determined. The colour deve...

Nine preparations of six antiseptic substances were applied to the perineum of pregnant women at term in order to assess their efficacy in sterilizing the skin. The efficacy, in descending order of effectiveness, after three minutes' exposure, was p-chlor-m-xylenol in alcohol (surgical Dettol); chlorhexidine gluconate in detergent (Hibiscrub), followed by the aqueous preparations p-chlor-m-xyle...
