Three indirect methods for the assay of flunarizine dihydrochloride (FNH) in bulk drug and commercial formulation based on titrimetric and spectrophotometric techniques using bromate-bromide mixture are described. In titrimetry, a measured excess of bromate-bromide mixture is added to an acidified solution of FNH and the unreacted bromine is determined iodometrically (method A). Spectrophotomet...

Ozonation followed by biological activated carbon (O3/BAC) is being considered as a key component of reverse osmosis-free advanced treatment trains for potable wastewater reuse. Using a laboratory-scale O3/BAC system treating two nitrified wastewater effluents, this study characterized the effect of different ozone dosages (0-1.0 mg O3/mg dissolved organic carbon) and BAC empty bed contact time...

INTRODUCTION All drinking water municipalities share the same goal of providing their communities with a reliable source of safe drinking water. To achieve this goal, most water systems must treat their water. The type of treatment used varies depending on the size, source, and water quality. Disinfection protects public water systems (PWSs) from potentially dangerous microbes. The most common ...

BACKGROUND Nigella sativa is an important component of several traditional herbal preparations in various countries. It finds its applications in improving overall health and boosting immunity. The current study evaluated the role of fixed and essential oil of Nigella sativa against potassium bromate induced oxidative stress with special reference to modulation of glutathione redox enzymes and ...

In Part I, it expands the initial Phase I work by evaluating the roles of various co-constituents that could be present in drinking water or in stomach fluids to determine their affect on the rates of reaction in simulated gastric juice at low pH and in the presence of chloride and hydrogen sulfide. The issue being investigated was whether bromate could be decomposed to some degree in the stoma...

Spectrophotometric and electrochemical studies were successfully used in quantitative analysis of Amitriptyline Hydrochloride (ATH) and Nortriptyline Hydrochloride (NTH). Conductometric titration were carried out in equeous solution using iodide and dopamine and serotonine as titrant. Two new methods using spectrophotometry are dascribed for the determination of (ATH) and (NTH) with potassium b...

the present work reports a kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of traceamounts of sulphite that is based on inhibitory effect of sulphite on the oxidation of methyleneblue (mb) in acidic media. the reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by monitoring thedecrease in absorbance of mb at 664 nm with a fixed time of 0.5-4.5 minutes. it was found thatsulphite exert a strong ...

Investigating the Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) type reaction of an acidic L-ascorbic acid (AA) / potassium bromate / cerous sulfate system, an oscillatory effect of circular dichroism is detectable at A = 300 nm. HPLC analysis of the oscillatory mixture and spectroscopic experi­ ments indicate that this effect is caused by 3,4,5-trihydroxy-2-oxo-L-valeraldehyde (TVA) a C5 oxidation fragment of AA...

As early as 1854 Knop proposed the use of potassium bromate and hyclrobromic acid for the determination of Iodine values and lately again Tolle (J. Pharm. Chem, 1905, 31, 111 and 183) and Mossier (Ph^n. Zeit., 1907) have proposed the use of Bromine from one source or another for the determination of the degree of unsaturation of fats. Mossier uses a mixture of potassium bromate and bromide acid...

A rapid, simple, precise and accurate method is proposed for the determination of ternary mixtures of periodate-iodate-bromate based on their reaction with iodide ion at different pH values. The absorbance was measured at 352 nm. Three sets of reaction conditions were developed. In the first set of conditions, only periodate reacted with iodide, but in the second set the periodate and iodate re...
