The method is based on the separation of Tl(I) as Tl(2)HPMo(12)O(40), stripping of the molybdate, and measurement of the peak current in differential-pulse polarography of the molybdenum. The calibration graph is linear over the range 2-12 ppm of thallium. The relative standard deviation is 1.2% (7 replicates each containing 500 microg of thallium). The current due to reduction of the molybdenu...

A procedure is proposed for the determination of malononitrile by differential pulse polarography in methanolic 0.1M tetraethylammonium iodide/0.001M tetramethylammonium hydroxide as the supporting electrolyte. In this medium malononitrile is chemically converted into an electroactive species. With close control of timing of the steps in the procedure the error of the method is +/-1.5% in the c...

The heavy metals Cd, Pb, Zn, Ni and Mo were determined in 27 samples of medicinal herbs taken from various places in Bielsko Biata and the neighbouring area. Samples were digested by the wet method in a microwave oven. Flame AAS and differential pulse polarography (anodic and stripping voltammetry) were used for determination of these metals. Oriental tobacco (CTA-ATL-1) as the certified refere...

The binding of electroactively labeled estriol with estrogen-specific antibody and its subsequent displacement by unlabeled estriol have been monitored by differential pulse polarography. Estriol was found to be electro-inactive in the potential range -200 mV to -1000 mV vs a silver/silver chloride electrode. Estriol labeled in the 2 and 4 position with nitro groups was electroactive, giving tw...

A differential-pulse polarographic (DPP) method was developed for the determination of brodimoprim (BDP) in Michaelis (MCL) buffer. The peak potential (Ep) occurs at 21.33 V (versus SCE) when the pH of the system is 4.0. The voltammetric behaviour in MCL buffer and the mechanisms of the electrode reaction were studied by, e.g., linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry and normal-pulse polar...

Since the study of Al ion on the enzyme activity by using of electrochemical techniques was rarely found in available literatures, the differential-pulse polarography (DPP) technique was applied to study the effects of Al ion on the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity in the catalytical reaction of α-KG +NADH+NH4 ⇔ L-Glu+NAD+H2O by monitoring the DPP reduction current of NAD. At the plant an...

The voltammetric characteristics of Mo (VI) oxinate at the mercury electrode, in the presence of tri-butylammonium perchlorate (tri-BAP) and piperidinium perchlorate (PP) + piperidine (P) as  two different types supporting electrolytes, have been studied in chloroform. With the both supporting electrolytes a two electron irreversible process for the reduction  of Mo (VI) oxinate was observe...

The voltammetric characteristics of bismuth(III)-oxinate in chloroform at the mercury electrode were investigated and a quasi-reversible behavior for Bi(III) oxinate reduction was confirmed. Preceded by the extraction of Bi(III) oxinate in chloroform, differential pulse polarography was developed in the extracts for determination of the trace-bismuth. The linear range of the calibration gra...
