It was found that the extraction percent (

-3 (M) HNO
3 solution by 0.1M TOPO in cyclohexane solution are 98, 78, 85 and 85%, respectively. Among these elements, only U(VI) and Th were found to be stripped from their organic phase by 0.1M sodium citrate solution. Cerium, copper and cadmium were not extracted by trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) under similar conditions. Based on these equilibrium results, a liquid emulsion membrane (LEM) was prepared from TOPO/Span 80/sodium citrate and the factors affecting its stability were studied. Permeation of U(VI) into this membrane was kinetically studied in detail. Its forward permeation rate was found to be mainly dependent on TOPO concentration and slightly dependent on U(VI) and HNO
3 concentration of the external phase. Permeation results showed that it is possible to recover 98% of U(VI) and 82% of Th from 0.1M HNO
3 solution containing Ce, Zr, Fe(III), Cd, and Cu by the membrane. The recovered U(VI) and Th were contaminated with less than 2% of Fe(III).

An iminodiacetic acid-type chitosan chelating resin selectively adsorbed germanium(IV) from aqueous solutions over the range of strongly acidic to weakly basic media. The adsorption capacity of the chitosan resin for germanium(IV) was about 1mmol g
-1 in acidic media. The selective separation of germanium(IV) from tellurium(VI) and boron was achieved with a column method using the chitosan resin. The breakthrough points of germanium(IV) in the chitosan resin columns were about 70 bed volumes over the range of strongly acidic to weakly basic media. The germanium(IV) adsorbed on the column was almost quantitatively recovered by elution with aqueous sodium hydroxide. On the other hand, it was difficult to separate germanium(IV) from tellurium(VI) using a column of the polyamine-type chitosan chelating resin.

In order to change the ion-exchange selectivity of anion exchange resin, especially to make the ion-exchange of divalent anions more difficult, the surface of gel-type anion exchange resin was modified by the adsorption of an anionic polyelectrolyte: polycondensation product of sodium naphthalene sulfonate and formaldehyde. After the adsorption of the polymer, ion exchange capacity decreased and the rate of ion exchange reaction became slow, though ion exchange equilibrium constants between two anions did not change. Especially, the ion exchange rate of divalent anions was slower than that of the monovalent anions. Because an anionic polyelectrolyte layer was formed on the resin particle, the ion exchange of anions with anion exchange site was retarded by a sieving effect due to the layer. The divalent anions became difficult to ion exchange compared with the monovalent anions due to the existence of the layer which was charged opposite to the charge of the ion exchange groups. Using the modified anion exchange resin, separation of nitrate ions from sulfate ions was attempted.

The total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) method is a powerful tool for the surface analysis of flat materials, such as Si wafers. The probing depth of TXRF is an important factor in a quantitative TXRF analysis. This is the first time that the probing depth under total-reflection conditions was experimentally evaluated by analyzing the takeoff-angle dependence of x-ray fluorescence. Our experimental results, measuring different incident angles, fit the theoretical curves. Finally, the relationship between the probing depth and the incident angle was obtained. We found the takeoff-angle dependent measurement of x-ray fluorescence to be a powerful means for determining the probing depth in the TXRF method.

A rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of sodium linear-dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) with 1-pentyl-4-(4-aminonaphthylazo)-pyridinium bromide (PANP) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is proposed. The method is based on the formation of the ion associate of DBS with PANP, and does not require any solvent-extraction procedure. PANP was found to react selectively with DBS to form an ion associate, which caused a new light-absorption near to 416nm. The apparent molar absorptivity of the DBS-ion associate with PANP was found to be 4.6×10

The structure parameters around the nickel(II) ion in all the nitriles are not affected by the bulkiness of the nitrile molecules. On the basis of the obtained structure parameters, we have discussed the structural characteristics around the nickel(II) ion with nitrogen and oxygen donor solvents and the reaction mechanisms for nitrile exchange on the nickel(II) ion.

Based on a vapor-liquid equiribrium of ammonia, a simplified and rapid technique was developed for the determination of the total inorganic and ammoniacal nitrogens in aqueous solution. Ammonium ion was converted into gaseous ammonia by adding a sodium hydroxide solution to a sample solution. The generated ammonia was directly introduced into a quartz cell in order to measure the molecular absorption. As for the determination of the total inorganic nitrogen, the sample solution was pretreated with titanium(III) chloride solution in order to reduce nitrate and nitrite ions to ammonium ion. The ammonia was then evolved and determined in the same manner as mentioned above. The detection limit (3
S/
N) of 0.01μg cm

2, a certain amount of Ar should be added to the outer gas for a stable plasma discharge. The proposed O

A highly sensitive and convenient analytical method for the direct determination of selenium in biological samples by GF-AAS with a solid sampling technique using a graphite miniature cup was established by using a Pd solution containing 3 mol/l sulfuric acid or a Pd solution containing 0.1 mol/l nitric acid as a matrix modifier in order to prevent the volatilization of selenium. The determination of μg/g levels of selenium in biological samples was performed using calibration curves prepared by a selenium standard solution containing 100μg/ml of Pd in 3mol/l sulfuric acid as the matrix modifier. On the other hand, the pre-ashing concentration technique, which was previously developed by us, was applied to the determination of 10ng/g levels of selenium in biological samples. The analytes in biological samples were concentrated by decomposing the sample matrix with a conventional electrothermal muffle furnace at 600°C for 30min. At the pre-ashing stage, a Pd solution containing 0.1mol/l nitric acid was added, because the addition of the Pd solution containing sulfuric acid caused charring and coagulation of the samples. The concentration factor for selenium in biological samples was 10 to 40. The analytical results of several NIST biological certified reference materials obtained by the proposed method were in good agreement with the certified values. The detection limit of GF-AAS was 0.13ng of selenium; therefore, 3.3ng/g levels of selenium in biological samples is detectable by the proposed method.

This paper describes the development of potentiometric detection systems with increased sensitivity for flow injection analysis (FIA). The detection systems are based on homogeneous crystalline membranes which are sensitive to chloride, bromide and iodide anions and copper, cadmium and lead cations. Two types of potentiometric detection systems have been established: one has two tubular electrodes sensitive to the same species placed sequentially, in which one of the electrodes works alternatively as a reference electrode (sequential detector system); the other type comprises a tubular potentiometric detector with two membranes and a conventional reference electrode (double membrane detector system). In the latter, totalling the potentials of each membrane is performed externally using an electronic summing device. The behavior of the two detection systems was evaluated in a low-dispersion FIA manifold. Their characteristics were similar to those of single membrane tubular electrodes, except for the calibration slope, for which a value approximately double was obtained.

This work reports on the development, optimization and application of an FIA manifold to the sequential determination of calcium and magnesium cations in haemodialysis solutions. A tubular electrode sensitive to calcium and an atomic absorption spectrophotometer to measure magnesium were used as a detection processed. The system included a dialysis unit to enable sample dilution, since they presented high levels of the species to be determined. The system performance was optimized to obtain the maximum slope of calibration lines to Ca
2+ and Mg
2+ by means of the Taguchi Parameters Design (TPD). An L
9(3
4) saturated orthogonal array led to the following optimized conditions: flow rate, 3.0ml/min; sample volume injected, 20μl; reactor length, 100cm; ionic strength, 3M. Under these conditions, the analytical procedure was robust and lead to reproducible results which were insensitive to variations in the glucose concentration. The developed system presents a high sampling rate (80 samples/h). The results obtained by the FIA system were compared with those given by the process of visual titration (10 samples/h) used as a reference method; it was found that both methods were in good agreement.

A microwave-assisted digestion system enabling simultaneous treatment of thirty-six samples with oxidizing acidic media in double-closed vessels was devised. Aluminum was subsequently separated from the digested solution through solid phase extraction by prior reacting with 8-quinolinol and adsorbing onto the simple XAD-4 resin column. In the separated fraction, Al, being in a state free from matrix interferences, can be directly determined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) simply by an external calibration standard. With meticulous control of analytical blank introduced in the sample pretreatment steps, a good performance of analytical accuracy and limit of detection can be achieved. The proposed method, featuring freedom from potential interference in ETAAS and relatively fast sample throughput, can conveniently serve as a reference and/or an alternative method for the direct ETAAS method commonly used for routine clinical purposes.

The correlation between the peak height, for a given acetylcholine concentration, is linear from 1.0×10

Two neutral magnesium ionophores (K22B5 and K22B1B5) and two novel lipophilic cationic dyes (KDC-1 and KDC-2) were synthesized and tested for preparing the optodes. Among the developed optodes, an optode based on the ionophore K22B1B5 and a cationic dye (KDC-2) produced the best magnesium ion optode with a relatively high Mg

Potentiometric behaviors of bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) incorporated with such ionophores as valinomycin, crown ethers and acyclic polyethers were described for various alkali and alkaline earth metal ions. The ionophores were directly incorporated into planar BLMs formed by the folding method. Among seven kinds of ionophores examined, only the valinomycin- and ETH 4120-based BLMs generated potentiometric Nernstian responses. However, simultaneous incorporation of anionic sites, such as sodium tetrakis[3, 5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (NaTFPB) or potassium tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate (KT
pClPB), was found generally effective for inducing potentiometric Nernstian responses of the ionophore-based BLMs. The added anionic sites were also found to decrease the membrane resistance, leading to improvement of probability of potential measurements, and to lower the detection limits by maintaining Nernstian slopes, thereby providing a basis for quantitative BLM sensors. By comparing the potentiometric responses of ionophore-incorporated BLMs with and without added anionic sites, the role and significance of the anionic sites in potentiometric response of BLMs based on ionophores was discussed.

Chromium(III) and Chromium(VI) have been speciated by capillary electrophoresis(CE) with on-column UV-Vis detection at 254nm and a negative potential. Chromium(III) has been converted to an anionic complex using ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) to be detected simultaneously with Cr(VI) by CE. A cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), was added to a buffer solution of 10mM phosphate in order to reverse the electroosmotic flow (EOF) in the capillary. This results in a short analysis time and better peak shapes. The effect of the buffer pH over the range of 6 to 11 on the separation of each species has been observed. Nitrate and chromate have been nicely separated at a higher pH. Linear calibrations for chromate and a chromic EDTA complex were established over the concentration range of 50-200pg/nl with detection limits of 1.5pg/nl and 5pg/nl, respectively, using a 10mM phosphate buffer and a 0.5mM CTAB solution.

A method for the sequential analysis of reducing sugars has been developed based on repetition of the following procedures: 1) derivatization of a reducing oligosaccharide with 8-amino-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) to produce a Schiff base, 2) reduction of the base with sodium cyanoborohydride, 3) methoxycarbonylation of the secondary amino group, 4) cleavage of the glycoside bond next to the reducing end, through intramolecular acid hydrolysis by the action of a sulfonic acid group of the ANS derivative, 5) identification of the liberated reducing end by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and finally 6) recovery of the resultant oligosaccharide fragment from the cleavage reaction mixture. A satisfactory yield in the cleavage reaction and a quantitative recovery of the oligosaccharide fragments were obtained when the cleavage reaction of the ANS derivative was carried out at 140°C for 30min in dioxane-dimethyl sulfoxide (7:3). The method was successfully applied to the sequential analysis of some reducing di-and trisaccharides.

Based on these findings, the organic phosphates were selectively trapped on the titania precolumn in an acidic eluent, transferred to an anion-exchange column by a basic eluent and detected by coloration after a postcolumn phosphomolybdic acid reaction. When 25.0μM each of phospho-amino acids solution was determined (injection volume, 100μl), the relative standard deviations were 2.3-2.8% (
n=5). The detection limits (
S/
N=3) of the phospho-amino acids were ca. 2.0μM as the injected concentration. The present analyzer was successfully applied to the analysis of the phosphorylation products of a heptapeptide (kemptide).
