a pvc-based membrane containing cerium phosphate was developed. unlike the cerium phosphate itself that acts as a cation exchanger, the membrane exhibited anion-exchange properties. therefore, the utility of this compound as a sensory element for detection of molybdate ions was pursued. the response of molybdate selective electrode based on this membrane was perfectly linear in the concentratio...

a pvc ion-selective membrane electrode based on cd-tetraphenyl porphyrine as a carrier was prepared fordetermination of mno4- ion. this electrode revealed good selectivity toward permanganate ion over a widevariety of anions. effects of some experimental parameters such as nature of the plasticizer, the amounts ofcarrier and additive, and concentration of the internal solution on the potential ...

the preparation of polymer membrane selective to iron(ii) ion and its application to ion-selectiveelectrode is reported here. pvc membrane contains iron–selective n-phenylaza-15-crown-5 asionophore. the membrane electrode is highly selective to iron(ii) ion and exhibit good linearresponse over a wide concentration range of 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 10-6 m with nernstian slope of29.2 ± 0.6 mv per deca...

tea is the second most commonly consumed beverage world wide. tea ( camellia sinensis ) is a naturally rich source of fluoride. the quantity of fluoride intake is important in optimizing its dental caries-preventive role. intense concentration of fluoride in tea, can lead to excessive fluoride intake which may cause health problems in turn. the measurement of fluoride intake usually requires in...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the bes...

potentiometric investigation on {h2o+nano3+peg1500} mixtures were made at t=308.15k, using electrochemical cells with two ion-selective electrodes, (na+ glass) as the cation ion-selective electrode against (no3- solvent-polymer pvc) as the anion ion-selective electrode. the mean ionic activity coefficients of nano3 were measured at different concentrations of  nano3 and peg. maximum concentrati...

The effect of adding known amounts of bromide and iodide to a plasma pool an several methodologies for measuring chloride ion has been studied. Methods evaluated were coulometric, colorimetric, and ion-specific electrode. Three different types of electrodes were evaluated in order to assess any improvements which might have been made in recent years. The older electrode methodology showed an ex...

Two analytical methods, which prove the utility of a potentiometric flow injection technique for determining various redox species, based on the use of some redox potential buffers, are reviewed. The first is a potentiometric flow injection method in which a redox couple such as Fe(III)-Fe(II), Fe(CN)(6) (3-)-Fe(CN)(CN)(6) (4-), and bromide-bromine and a redox electrode or a combined platinum-b...
