A simultaneous injection effective mixing flow analysis (SIEMA) system was proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of palladium. The determination of palladium was based on its complexation reaction with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-n-propyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)amino]aniline (5-Br-PSAA) to form a blue complex, which has an absorption maximum at 612 nm. The analytical performances of the...

The H-point standard addition method was applied to kinetic data for simultaneous determination of citric and ascorbic acid or selective determination of ascorbic acid in presence of citric acid. The method is based on the difference in the rate of reaction of citric and ascorbic acid with copper(II)-ammonia complex. The linear dynamic ranges for the two analytes of citric and ascorbic acid are...

This review describes applications of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to the determination of long-lived radionuclides in environmental samples. Simultaneous determination of 232Th and 238U in biological samples is described in detail; in this procedure an internal standard, Tl or Bi, is adopted for correction of the matrix effect. Determination of 237Np in soil samples by...

A simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance thin-layer chromatographic assay for the determination of epoxide hydrolase activity in rat liver homogenates is described. It is extended to the determination of a series of phenoxypropane-1,Z diols. The hydrolase assay has the advantages of using a readily available substrate, 2,3-epoxypropyl4-methoxyphenyl ether, of multiple sample application, ...

We describe a method for the simultaneous determination of 12 kinds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment based on liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (LC/APPI/MS). The method consists of PAH extractions by ultrasonics, clean-up by a solid-phase extraction procedure and determination by LC/APPI/MS. The limits of the determination for PAH...

An improved HPLC method is reported for the determination of rosemary's principal phenolic antioxidants, rosmarinic and carnosic acids, providing a fast and simultaneous determination for both of them by using a solid phase column. The analysis was performed with fresh methanolic extractions of Rosmarinus officinalis. To quantify the amount of antioxidants in a fast and reproducible way by mean...

A method is reported for the determination of diphenylamine and butylated hydroxytoluene in mineral and synthetic oil. The procedure used differential pulse voltammetry with a glassy carbon electrode. This method was then used for determining these antioxidants in supporting electrolyte consisting of dilute sulfuric acid and sodium dodecyl sulfonate in ethanol. Anodic peaks were obtained for bo...

In their previous papers, the authors of this study have suggested and realized a method of simultaneous determination of temperature and salinity of seawater using laser Raman spectroscopy, with the help of neural networks. Later, the method has been improved for determination of temperature and salinity of natural water using Raman spectra, in presence of fluorescence of dissolved organic mat...
