The industrial waste water containing the various dyes is responsible for water pollution, due to their carcinogenic behaviour. Lots of investigations reported that 10-12% of dyes are used every year in textile industries such as Rose Bengal, Victoria blue, Thymol blue, Caramine, Indigo Red, Red 120, Rhodamine B, Methylene Blue, Eriochrome Black-T (EBT) [1-4] of which are major portion (20%) lo...

Herein, we reported for the first time one step procedure for the preparation of cytochrome c (cyt c)-poly (5-amino-2-napthalenesulfonic acid) (PANS)modified glassy carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetrically (CV). Hereafter, we called the above modified electrode as cyt c-PANS electrode. The presence of cyt c on m co m vailable online 8 August 2008

In the present study electrochemical detection of α-lipoic acid (α-LA) was carried out with a poly(Vanillin) modified platinum electrode p(VA)/PtE in Brinton Robinson buffer (BR) solution. The platinum electrode surface’s was modified with cyclic voltammetry method. The prepared Pt electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in ferrocyanide and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. T...

A modified electrode for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) sensing was prepared via thiophene (Th) with epoxy group. Thiophene (EpoxyTh) with epoxy group was synthesized by reaction of 3-bromothiophene and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in acetonitrile according to Heck Reaction. The electrocopolymerization of Th and EpoxyTh was performed on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode by cycling the po...

Cytochrome c (cyt c)-immobilized monolayers and multiple monolayers of a conducting polymer [poly(terthiophene-3-carboxylic acid) polymer (poly-TTCA)] were prepared, where the monolayer of monomer precursor was fabricated with the Langmuir-Blogett technique. Covalent immobilization of cyt c was achieved by the formation of an amide bond between the carboxylic groups of the conducting polymer an...

The use of the dye calcon (1-(2 hydroxy-1-naphthylazo)-2-naphthol-4 sulphonic acid) for the estimation of calcium using E.D.T.A. and a commercial photoelectric titrimeter is described. The interfering effects of magnesium and phosphate have been overcome. The method has been extended to estimations on biological materials. Results on 55 sera show that the E.D.T.A./calcon method gave slightly lo...

A comparison of the photoefficiency of Ni(II) and NiS incorporated into zeolite P towards photodecolorization of Eriochrome Black T dye solution was investigated in a photocatalytic reactor using UV lamp as a light source. The effect of various experimental variables on the decolorization performance of the process was evaluated by examining catalyst dosage, temperature, initial dye concentrati...

Trichromatic colorimetry was applied for the evaluation of the colour changes of the metallochromic indicators, viz., hematoxylin, gallocyanine, Gallamine Blue, Solochrome Prune AS, Celestine Blue, Eriochrome Black T, Xylenol Orange and Catechol Violet, in the complexometric titration of zirconium( IV) with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to measure the quality of colour change at the eq...
