The variables affecting determination of ultra trace levels of uranium (VI) in aqueous samples by differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry were examined in detail using Hg-thin film modified carbon paste and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) incorporated carbon paste electrode. Carbon paste electrode prepared in the laboratory was modified with Hg thin film and used as the working elec...

in this work, sol-gel method was used tosynthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles (tio2). the tio2nanoparticles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and bet technique.the tio2 and coumarin derivative (7-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)-9, 10-dihydroxy-6h-benzofuro [3,2-c] chromen-6-on) were incorporated in a graphite composite electrode. the resulting modified el...

We report a simple method of preparation of carbon paste ultramicroelectrodes (UMEs) for use as probe tips in scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). Carbon paste UMEs were prepared by packing the carbon paste into a chemically etched tip of a Pt-UME or a pulled glass capillary. Carbon-based UMEs are attractive in micrometer to nanometer gap experiments and in electrodeposition of single me...

agriculture (mechanization), food industry and environment are the concepts that cannot be surveyed separately (because of their interaction). present research aimed to study tomato paste production by applying life cycle assessment. two functional unit of kg co2-eq/ kg tomato and kg co2-eq / kg paste was used. data were collected from one paste factory in alborz province and open-field tomato ...

in the present paper, the use of a novel carbon paste electrode modified by 7,8-dihydroxy-3,3,6-trimethyl-3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-1(2h)-one (dtd) and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ocnts) is described for determination of levodopa (ld), acetaminophen (ac) and tryptophan (trp) by a simple and rapid method. at first, the electrochemical behavior of dtd is studied, then, the mediated...

The present article introduces a new approach to fabricate carbon paste sensors, including carbon paste, modified carbon paste inclusion β-cyclodextrin, and carbon nanotubes for the quantification of dorzolamide hydrochloride (DRZ). This study is mainly based on the construction of three different carbon paste sensors by the incorporation of DRZ with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) to form dorzolami...

The electrochemical oxidation of repaglinide has been carried out in Britton-Robinson buffer at carbon paste and glassy carbon electrodes. Repaglinide exhibits a well-defined irreversible oxidation peak over the entire pH range (2-11). Differential pulse voltammetry was used to determine repaglinide in pure form. The peak current varied linearly in the following ranges: 8.0 x 10(-7)-3.2 x 10(-6...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent mechanical properties and can be used to reinforce cement-based materials. On the other hand, the reaction product of carbonation with hydroxides in hydrated cement paste can reduce the porosity of cement-based materials. In this study, a novel method to improve the strength of cement paste was developed through a synergy of carbon nanotubes decorated with...

abstract the utility of carbon paste electrode for the determination of flavoxate hcl modified with flavoxate-tetraphenylborate (flx-tpb) and flavoxate-phosphotungestic acid (flx-pta) ion-pairs in batch mode is demonstrated. the electrodes revealed a nernstian response over a wide concentration ranges 1.39×10-5-1x10-2 mol l-1 and1×10-5-1x10-2 mol l-1 using flx-tpb and flx-pta, respectively. the...

conclusions the results of this study show that lh in different pharmaceutical preparations could be determined with good reliability. in addition, the results reveal that the equal numbers of electrons and protons are involved in the oxidation of lh and the irreversible oxidation of an analyte was performed via amine groups of lh molecule. background lidocaine hydrochloride (lh) is one of the ...
