ABSTRACT
(Z)-2-(2-methyl benzylidene)-1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazine (L) was used as an active component of PVC membrane electrode (PME), coated graphite electrode (CGE) and coated silver wire electrode (CWE) for sensing Al(3+) ion. The electrodes exhibited linear Nernstian responses to Al(3+) ion in the concentration range of 1.0×10(-6) to 1.0×10(-1)M (for PME, LOD=8.8×10(-7)M), 5.5×10(-7) to 2.0×10(-1)M (for CWE, LOD=3.3×10(-7)M) and 1.5×10(-7) to 1.0×10(-1)M (for CGE, LOD=9.2×10(-8)M). The best performances were observed with the membranes having the composition of L:PVC:NPOE:NaTPB in the ratio of 5:35:57:3 (w/w; mg). The electrodes have a response time of 6s and an applicable pH range of 3.5-9.1. The sensors have a lifetime of about 15weeks and exhibited excellent selectivity over a number of mono-, bi-, and tri-valent cations including alkali, alkaline earth metal, heavy and transition metal ions. Analytical utility of the proposed sensor has been further tested by using it as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Al(3+) with EDTA. The electrode was also successfully applied for the determination of Al(3+) ion in real and pharmaceutical samples.

A new complex of 1-hydroxy-4-(prop-2-enyloxy)-9,10-anthraquinone and Y(III) was synthesized and used as the functional monomer for a novel Y(III) nanostructure ion-imprinted polymer. This polymer was used as a sorbent for fast and selective separation. The separation method was based on radioyttrium sorption from aqueous HCl solution containing strontium onto ion-imprinted polymer. Influence of various parameters such as pH, mass sorbent, nature, concentration and volume of eluent was investigated. The radioyttrium recovery yield was 99.8% and Sr content was estimated to be 3 µg mL(-1).
