The potential feasibility of anionic clay hydrotalcite for removal of eriochrome black dye from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage were investigated. The extent of eriochrome black dye removal increased with the increased in contact time, pH and amount of adsorbent used. Adsorption data was fitted to th...

A new composite film-modified electrode was prepared by the electropolymerisation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and superconductive carbon black (SCB) on a gold electrode. The PEDOT-SCB/Au electrode exhibited excellent ability towards the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid, in terms of a 480 mV shift of the oxidation potential in the negative direction, and a dramatically...

The interaction between eriochrome black T and Li , Na , K ,Mg and Ca ions in acetone and dimethylsulphoxide solutions has been investigated spectrophotometrically. The formation constants of the resulting 1 : 1 complexes were determined and found to decrease in the order Mg >Ca >Li >K >Na in both solvents used. There is an inverse relationship between the stabilities of the complexes...

This work describes the use of a multi-LED photometer for discrimination of mineral water samples, employing chromogenic reagents and chemometric techniques. Forty-five water samples (including 7 different brands of mineral water and samples of deionised, distilled and tap waters) were analysed in a monosegmented flow system, using three different chromogenic reagents (murexide, PAR and eriochr...

In this work, for the first time poly (benzoquinone) chromium (III) complex (PBQC) was synthesized with a one pot, one step, simple and fast method. This novel polymer was used for modification of graphite paste electrode for electrochemical determination of Mesalazine. Moreover, this novel modifier was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron m...
