RESUMEN
The online photoreaction of the rose bengal photosensitized luminol-copper (II) chemiluminescence (CL) system was used for the determination of ß-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and ethanol (EtOH) in pharmaceutical formulations combined with a flow injection technique. NADH can significantly enhance the CL emission of the reaction. For EtOH, alcohol dehydrogenase in soluble form was utilized in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide resulting in NADH production. The limit of detection (3σ blank, ð = 3) of 4.0 × 10-8 and 2.17 × 10-5 M, and linear range 1.3 × 10-7 to 2.5 × 10-5 M (R2 = 0.9998, n = 6) and 0.11-2.17 × 10-3 M (R2 = 0.9996, n = 6) were obtained for NADH and EtOH respectively. The injection rate was 100 h-1 with a relative standard deviation (n = 3) of 1.5-4.8% in the range studied for both analytes. The procedure was satisfactorily applied to pharmaceutical formulations with recoveries in the range 91.6 ± 3.0% to 110 ± 2.0% for NADH and 88 ± 3.0% to 95.4 ± 4.0% for EtOH. The results obtained were very consistent and did not differ considerably from the reported approaches at a 95% confidence limit. The possible mechanism of the CL reaction is also explained briefly.

This study developed a simple flow injection (FI) method based on diperiodatonickelate(IV)-sulfuric acid reaction using chemiluminescence (CL) detection for the determination of thiram (THI) fungicide in fresh water using quinine as the sensitizer. The possible mechanism of the CL reaction was described using UV-Vis. absorption and CL spectra. Experimental variables were optimized by applying a univariate approach, and a linear calibration curve was obtained in the range of 1.0 × 10-3 -2.0 mg L-1 (R2 = 0.9994, n = 9) with a limit of detection of 5.0 × 10-4 mg L-1 (S/N = 3) and an injection throughput of 200 h-1 . This approach was successfully applied to determine THI in fresh water by using solid-phase extraction and achieved a good recovery rate of 94%-110% with a relative standard deviation of 1.9%-3.7% (n = 4). The results obtained were compared with the reported FI-CL and high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet methods, and the three methods did not differ significantly at the 95% confidence limit.

In this paper, a chemiluminescence (CL) method is proposed for retinol determination by combining flow injection (FI) methodology. The CL reaction is based on the oxidation of luminol by diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) in the presence of retinol. Under the optimum conditions, the relative CL intensity was linear to the concentration of retinol over the range 5.0×10-3-14 mg L-1 (y=347.26x+2.5944, R2=0.9999, n=8) with limit of detection (LOD) of 1.5×10-3 mg L-1 (S/N=3) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 5.0×10-3 mg L-1 (S/N=10). The relative standard deviation (RSD) was from 1.04-3.4% over the range studied and injection throughputs of 150 h-1. The method was satisfactorily applied to retinol in pharmaceutical formulation samples. The samples were saponified and extracted with liquid-liquid extraction using ether as an extractant. The possible CL mechanism is supported by CL and UV-visible spectrophotometric studies.

Chemiluminescence (CL) of the rhodamine 6-G-diperiodatonickelate (IV) (Rh6-G-Ni(IV) complex) in the presence of Brij-35 was examined in an alkaline medium and implemented using flow-injection analysis to analyze Mn(II) in natural waters. Brij-35 was identified as the surfactant of choice that enhanced CL intensity by about 62% of the reaction. The calibration curves were linear in the range 1.7 × 10-3 - 0.2 (0.9990, n = 7) and 8.0 × 10-4 - 0.1 µg ml-1 (0.9990, n = 7) with limits of detection (LODs) (S:N = 3) of 5.0 × 10-4 and 2.4 × 10-4 µg ml-1 without and with using an in-line 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) resin mini-column, respectively. The sample throughput and relative standard deviation were 200 h-1 and 1.7-2.2% in the range studied respectively. Mn(II) concentrations in certified reference materials and natural water samples was successfully determined. A brief discussion about the possible CL reaction mechanism is also given. In addition, analysis of V(III), Cr(III) and Fe(II) was also performed without and with using an in-line 8-HQ column and selective elution of each metal ion was achieved by adjusting the pH of the sample carrier stream with aqueous HCl solution.

A flow injection based chemiluminescence process has been reported for vitamin D3 determination without using especial chemiluminescence reagent. Vitamin D3 shows enhancement on the CL intensity of diperiodatocuprate(III) with surfactant (Triton X-100) solution. The calibration curve was found to be linear over the concentration range 0.01-40â¯mg/L (R2â¯=â¯0.9997, nâ¯=â¯8) tested. A limit of detection (S/Nâ¯=â¯3), limit of quantification (S/Nâ¯=â¯10) and sample injection throughput of 2.5â¯×â¯10-3, 8.3â¯×â¯10-3â¯mg/L and 150â¯h-1 respectively were obtained. Various experimental variables were tested to get most suitable response, e.g., the concentrations of reagents, and their flow rates, sample injection volume and photomultiplier tube voltage. The effect of potential interferences was also examined. Vitamin D3 determination was successfully carried out in pharmaceutical formulations. The recoveries from the formulations were obtained in the range of 96⯱â¯4-108⯱â¯2%. The reaction mechanism discussion for diperiodatocuprate(III) complex-Triton X-100-vitamin D3 was also included.

Occurrence and distribution of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), organophosphate pesticides (OPPs), and pyrethroid pesticides (PYRs) residues in the leafy vegetables were analyzed together with the soil samples using gas chromatography-electron capture detector. Edible tissues of vegetables showed detectable residues of these compounds indicating the influence of the conventional farms and nearby organic farms. In the vegetables, the OCPs concentrations were recorded as nd-133.3 ng/g, OPPs as nd-200 ng/g, and PYRs as nd-33.3 ng/g. In the soil, the OCPs concentrations were recorded as nd-30.6 ng/g, OPPs as nd-26.6 ng/g, and for PYRs as nd-6.7 ng/g. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) was higher for the OPPs (0.3) than the OCPs and PYRs (1.1). The OCPs concentration in the vegetables decreased in the following order: spinach > celery > broccoli > cauliflower > cabbage > lettuce > mustard. For OPPs, the concentration decreased in the following order: cauliflower > spinach > celery > cabbage > broccoli > lettuce > mustard and for PYRs as spinach > celery > lettuce > cabbage > broccoli. Principal component analysis indicates that the sources of these pesticides are not the same, and the pesticide application on the vegetables depends on the type of crop. There is a significant positive correlation between OPPs and the soil (r = 0.65) as compared to OCPs and PYRs (r = 0.1) as the vegetables accumulated OPPs more efficiently than OCPs and PYRs.

Diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA)/silver(III) complex, [Ag(HIO6)2]5-, in sulfuric acid medium has been used to determine hyoscine butylbromide (HBB) by flow injection (FI) coupled with chemiluminescence (CL) detector. A linear standard curve between the CL intensity and concentration range from 0.005 to 20 mg L-1 was obtained. The determination coefficient (R2), limit of detection (3s × blank), relative standard deviation (RSD) for 0.5 mg L-1 HBB and analytical throughput were 0.9992 (n = 8), 5 × 10-4 mg L-1, 1.5% (n = 10) and 160 injections h-1, respectively. The developed method was applied for the determination of HBB in pharmaceutical formulations with recoveries from 92 ± 4 to 108 ± 3%. For comparison, a spectrophotometric method was used and the results obtained by both methods were in good agreement at a 95% confidence level. The effect of key chemical and physical variables (reagent concentration, flow rate, sample volume, PMT voltage) and interfering species (pharmaceutical excipients and inorganic ions) on the determination of HBB was examined. The possible CL mechanism of HBB on silver(III) complex in sulfuric acid medium was also discussed in brief.

Chemiluminescence (CL) with a flow-injection method is reported for the determination of thiabendazole (TBZ) fungicide based on its enhancement effect on diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC)-sulfuric acid-CL system. The calibration graph was linear in the concentration range of 1 - 2000 µg L(-1) (R(2) = 0.9999, n = 8) with a limit of detection (S/N = 3) of 0.3 µg L(-1). The injection throughput was 160 h(-1) with relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 4) of 1.1 - 2.9% in the concentration range studied. The experimental variables e.g., reagents concentrations, flow rates, sample volume, and PMT voltage were optimized, and the potential interferences were investigated individually. The method was successfully applied to the determination of TBZ in water samples showing good agreement and recovery in the range of 92 ± 2.2 - 108 ± 3% (n = 3) using dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME).

A flow-injection (FI) method is reported for the determination of Mn(II), maneb and mancozeb fungicides based on the catalytic effect of Mn(II) on the oxidation of lucigenin and dissolved oxygen in a basic solution. The Tween-20 surfactant has been reported for first time to enhance lucigenin chemiluminescence (CL) intensity in the presence of Mn(II) (53%) and maneb and mancozeb (89%). The calibration graphs were linear in the concentration range of 0.001-1.5 mg L(-1) (R(2) = 0.9982 (n = 11) with a limit of detection (S/N = 3) of 0.1 µg L(-1) for Mn(II) and 0.01-3.0 mg L(-1) [R(2) = 0.9989 and R(2) = 0.9992 (n = 6)] with a limit of detection (S/N =3) of 1.0 µg L(-1) for maneb and mancozeb respectively. Injection throughputs of 90 and 120 h(-1) for Mn(II) and maneb and mancozeb respectively, and relative standard deviations of 1.0-3.4% were obtained in the concentration range studied. The experimental variables, e.g., reagents concentrations, flow rates, sample volume, and photomultiplier tube voltage, were optimized and potential interferences were investigated. The analysis of Mn(II) in river water reference materials (SLRS-4 and SLRS-5) showed good agreement with the certified values incorporating an on-line 8-hydroxyquinoline chelating column in the manifold for removing interfering metal ions. Recoveries for maneb and mancozeb were in the range of 92 ± 5 to 104 ± 3% and 91 ± 2 to 100 ± 4% (n = 3) respectively. The effect of 30 other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides and insecticides) was also examined in the lucigenin-Tween-20 CL system.

Rose Bengal photosensitized flow injection chemiluminescence method is reported using luminol-Cu(II) for the determination of vitamins A and C in pharmaceutical formulations. The reaction is based on the enhancement effect of analyte in the production of anion radicals of Rose Bengal (RB (â¢-)) which rapidly interact with dissolved oxygen and generate superoxide anions radicals (O2 (â¢-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Highly reactive hydroxyl radicals ( (â¢) OH) were produced via dismutation of H2O2 by catalyst (Cu(2+)). The generated superoxide anions radicals and hydroxyl radicals thus oxidize luminol in alkaline medium to generate strong chemiluminescence. The limit of detection (3s of the blank, n = 6) of vitamins A and C and RB was found to be 0.008, 0.005, and 0.05 µg mL(-1), respectively. The sample throughput of 70 h(-1) for vitamins A and C and 30 h(-1) for RB was found. Calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.05-15, 0.01-20, and 0.1-50 µg mL(-1) for vitamins A and C and RB, respectively, with relative standard deviations (RSDs; n = 3) in the range 1.6-3.6%. The method was successfully applied to pharmaceutical formulations and the results obtained were in good agreement with the labeled values.
RESUMEN
A simple and sensitive flow-injection (FI) method is reported for the determination of thiram and aminocarb pesticides in natural water samples based on the strong enhancing effects of these pesticides on the tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)-diperiodatoargentate(III) (Ru(bipy)3(2+)-DPA) chemiluminescence (CL) system. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the CL intensity was linear over the range of 1.0 - 1000 and 1.0 - 10000 ng mL(-1) (R(2) = 0.9998 (n = 7) and 0.9994 (n = 11)) for thiram and aminocarb, respectively, with relative standard deviations (RSDs; n = 3) in the range 1.0 - 2.6%. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) were 0.1 ng mL(-1) for both pesticides with injection throughputs of 150 h(-1). The key chemical and physical variables (reagent concentrations, flow rates, sample volume, PMT voltage) were optimized and potential interferences investigated. The method was successfully applied to natural water samples and the results obtained were not significantly different (95% confidence interval) from results obtained by the previously reported FI-CL and HPLC methods. Thiram could be determined in the presence of aminocarb using Triton X-100. The possible CL reaction mechanism is also discussed briefly.

A simple and sensitive flow-injection (FI) method for the determination of nitrate and nitrite in natural waters, based on luminol chemiluminescence (CL) detection, is reported. Nitrate was reduced online to nitrite via a copperized cadmium (Cu-Cd) column and then reacted with acidic hydrogen peroxide to form peroxynitrous acid. CL emission was observed from the oxidation of luminol in an alkaline medium in the presence of the peroxynitrite anion. The limits of detection (S:N = 3) were 0.02 and 0.01 µg N/L, with sample throughputs of 40 and 90 /h for nitrate and nitrite, respectively. Calibration graphs were linear over the range 0.02-50 and 0.01-50 µg N/L [R2 = 0.9984 (n = 8) and R2 = 0.9965 (n = 7)] for nitrate and nitrite, respectively, with relative standard deviations (RSDs; n = 3) in the range 1.8-4.6%. The key chemical and physical variables (reagent concentrations, buffer pH, flow rates, sample volume, Cu-Cd reductor column length) were optimized and potential interferences investigated. The effect of cations [Ca(II), Mg(II), Co(II), Fe(II) and Cu(II)] was masked online with EDTA. Common anions (PO4(3-) , SO4(2-) and HCO3-) did not interfere at their maximum admissible concentrations in freshwaters. The effect of salinity on the luminol CL reaction with and without nitrate and nitrite (2 and 0.5 µg N/L, respectively) was also investigated. The method was successfully applied to freshwaters and the results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained by an automated segmented flow analyser reference method.

Flow injection (FI) methods are reported to determine retinol and α-tocopherol based on its enhancement affect of lucigenin chemiluminescence (CL) in alkaline medium. Surfactants including Brij-35, Triton X-100, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate have been reported for the first time to enhance lucigenin CL intensity in the presence of retinol and α-tocopherol. With Brij-35, the CL intensity was enhanced by 67% for retinol and 58% for α-tocopherol. CTAB was found to enhance the CL intensity by 16% for retinol whereas for α-tocopherol, the CL intensity was quenched up to 95%. Retinol could be determined specifically in the presence of α-tocopherol using CTAB. The calibration graphs were found to be linear up to 1.43 mg/L (R(2) = 0.9985, n = 8) with a detection limit (3s) of 1.43 × 10(-3) mg/L for retinol and 2.15 mg/L (R(2) = 0.9989; n = 8) with a detection limit (3s) of 4.31 × 10(-4) mg/L for α-tocopherol. An injection throughput of 120/h, and relative standard deviations of 0.9-2.8% (n = 4) were achieved in the concentration range studied. The influence of common ions, excipients in pharmaceutical formulations and related organic compounds on the determination of retinol and α-tocopherol individually was studied. The proposed methods were applied to determine retinol and α-tocopherol in pharmaceutical formulations and human blood serum. The results did not differ significantly from the CL method and HPLC reference method at 95% confidence level.

A flow injection chemiluminescence method is described for the determination of subnanomolar concentrations of vanadium in environmental water samples. The procedure is based on the oxidation of luminol in the presence of dissolved oxygen catalyzed by vanadium(IV). Vanadium(V) reduction and preconcentration of vanadium(IV) was carried out using in-line silver reductor and 8-hydroxyquinoline chelating columns at pH 3.15, respectively. The calibration graph for vanadium(IV) was linear in the concentration range of 0.025-10 µg/L with relative standard deviation in the range of 0.4-5.58%. The detection limit (3s blank) was 3.8 × 10(-3) µg/L without preconcentration; when the vanadium(IV) was preconcentrated with an 8-HQ column for 1 min (2.0 mL of sample loaded), the detection limit of 5.1 × 10(-4) µg/L was achieved. One analytical cycle can be completed in 2.0 min. The analysis of certified reference materials (CASS-4, NASS-5 and SLRS-4) by the proposed method showed good agreement with the certified values. The method was successfully applied to the determination of total dissolved vanadium in environmental water samples.

A simple and rapid flow-injection method is reported for the determination of dithiocarbamate fungicides (maneb, nabam and thiram) based on chemiluminescence detection. The method involves the photodegradation of dithiocarbamate fungicides via UV light in an alkaline medium. Photoproducts are then reacted with luminol in the absence of an oxidant. Linear calibration graphs were obtained in the range 0.01 - 4.0 mg L(-1) for maneb and nabam and 0.05 - 1.0 mg L(-1) for thiram with relative standard deviations (n = 4) in the range 1.0 - 2.6%. The detection limits (S/N = 3) of maneb, nabam and thiram were 10, 8.0 and 5.0 ng mL(-1), respectively, with a sample throughput of 100 h(-1). The method was successfully applied to determine these dithiocarbamate fungicides in spiked natural water samples.
