The problems of the development of high-temperature radiation resistant ultrasonic sensors operating in a liquid lead-bismuth alloy are analysed. Experimental diffusion bonded bismuth titanate sensors for operation up to 450 °C were developed. For acoustical coupling with a liquid metal the sensor protector is polished or coated by a diamond like carbon layer. The developed sensors survived hig...

Two simple, rapid and accurate conductometric methods were developed for determination of losartan potassium, pantoprazole sodium, sumatriptan succinate, rabeprazole sodium and lomefloxacine HCl in pure form as well as in their pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed methods based on using two different precipitating agents for conductometric determination of the cited drugs. Method (A) based...

A chelating resin, cross-linked chitosan modified with the glycine moiety (glycine-type chitosan resin), was developed for the collection and concentration of bismuth in aquatic samples for ICP-MS measurements. The adsorption behavior of bismuth and 55 elements on glycine-type chitosan resin was systematically examined by passing a sample solution containing 56 elements through a mini-column pa...

A new method is presented for interpreting the Raman spectra of bismuth oxides. The method relies on empirical relations between bismuth-oxygen (Bi-0) bond lengths, bond strengths, and Raman stretching frequencies. A least-squares exponential fit of crystallographically determined Bi-0 bond lengths and Raman stretching frequencies is presented along with a relation between Bi-0 bond strengths, ...

A dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method for the determination of bismuth in various samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry is described. In this method, crystal violet was used as counter positive ion for BiCl4 (-) complex ion, chloroform as extraction solvent, and ethanol as disperser solvent. The analytical parameters that may affect the extraction efficiency like acidity o...

The fabrication and evaluation of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with self-doped polyaniline nanofibers (SPAN)/mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) and bismuth for simultaneous determination of trace Cd2+ and Pb2+ by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) are presented here. The morphology properties of SPAN and MCN were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), an...

This simple, rapid, sensitive, reliable, and economical assay for bismuth in plasma, erythrocytes, and urine is based on atomic absorption spectrophotometry with hydride generation. Acid digestion eliminates the problem of foaming, which hitherto has complicated such assay of bismuth in plasma and erythrocytes. The detection limit of the assay has been improved to 0.1 micrograms/L, as compared ...

This study presents bismuth ferrite nanoparticle (BFO) modified carbon paste electrodes (BFO/CPEs) for the determination of lead and cadmium.
