This surface potential well is a combination of the long-range attraction potential of the electric double layer (EDL) and the short-range repulsion van der Waals potential. The frequency spectrum of the scattered light recorded in the heterodyne regime should contain peaks with the Doppler frequency shifts corresponding to the velocities of particle electrophoresis in the EDL. The wave reflected from the boundary surface may be used as the reference wave necessary in the heterodyne regime, and the intensity of the scattered wave collinear with the reflected wave should be recorded. Since field strengths in the EDL are about 105 V cm–1 such a method should have extremely high resolution. The case of the equilibrium reversible ‘partition’ of particles between the liquid film, where no force is present, and the surface layer is examined. In this case, the ‘partition coefficient’ defining the ratio of the bulk and surface fractions of particles may be about one, if the liquid film is thin enough (≈10–3 cm). Also, in this case, the integral frequency spectrum should contain the bulk part corresponding to the particle diffusion and the surface part with the Doppler peaks, where electrophoresis of particles should be seen.","PeriodicalId":7814,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Communications","volume":"55 1","pages":"369-372"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86933478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flow-through sensor relies on the coupling of an internal on-line acidification of the collected samples with potentiometric stripping detection of the metals released from their complexes. The optimisation and characterisation of the new remote sensor have been carried out with trace measurements of cadmium and lead in the presence of EDTA and NTA. Elevated levels of these ligands (e.g. 0.05 and 1.0 mM EDTA and NTA, respectively) had no effect upon the cadmium and lead peaks, as compared to the complete disappearance of the response without the internal acid delivery. Such real-time measurements of the total form of dissolved heavy metals hold great promise for environmental and industrial monitoring. Other in-situ speciation sensing schemes are anticipated based on the versatility of the renewable-reagent flow probe.","PeriodicalId":7814,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Communications","volume":"102 1","pages":"241-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80630621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that the weight percentage of SDS on the stationary phase (16.5%) was similar to the percentage ratio of C/Si (C/Si = 17.1%) of the original ODS stationary phase. This indicated that the octadecyl groups of the ODS packing were largely covered by adsorbed surfactants and the stationary phase in the MLC system could be considered to be the adsorbed surfactant. Accordingly, a new three-phase equilibrium model in which the adsorbed surfactant was assumed to be the stationary phase was proposed to illustrate the behaviour of analyte partitioning in MLC. The negative impact of the adsorbed surfactant on the efficiency of MLC was discussed in terms of this new model. With the three-phase model, the equilibrium constant (K3) for direct transfer of the analyte from the surfactant in the mobile phase to the surfactant on the stationary phase could be calculated. The results obtained for K3 using two model analytes showed that the mobile phase and stationary phase portions of the surfactant in MLC had similar but not identical abilities for binding the analyte. The effects and limitations of the use of organic modifiers in MLC are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":7814,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Communications","volume":"83 1","pages":"191-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80383591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PFC system is fully computerized and all operations are under software control. Consequently, most flow analysis methods (e.g., flow injection, continuous flow, flow titration, etc.) can be selected with a simple click of the mouse. The system is easily miniaturized and portable which makes it particularly suited to field instrumentation. The system has been tested using several flow-based techniques including on-line titration for the determination of calcium in waters with potentiometric detection and a calcium ion sensor.","PeriodicalId":7814,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Communications","volume":"116 1","pages":"97-101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87857572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
