The structtre of NiFe2-xEuxO4 was characterized by various analyses such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The catalytic performance of NiFe2-xEuxO4 was evaluated for the synthesis of benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles under ultrasonic irradiation. All reactions were completed in short times and all products were obtained in good to excellent yields in presence of the rare-earth based catalyst. Besides, NiFe2-xEuxO4 could be recovered for 6 times without noticeably decreasing the catalytic activity.展开更多

Aminobenzenesulfonamide functionalized SBA-15 was synthesized according to procedure in the literature and the presence of organic groups in the silica framework was demonstrated by FT-IR spectra. The functionalized product showed the BET surface area 110 mZ/g and pore diameter 5. l nm, based on adsorption-desorption of N2 at 77 K. The effect of several variables such as (amount of adsorbent, stirring time, pH and presence of other ions in the medium) has been studied. Lead and copper were completely extracted at pH greater than 3 after stirring for 10 min. The maximum capacity of the adsorbent was found to be 191.3 + 1.4 and 155.0 + 1.0 ~xg of lead and copper ions/mg functionalized SBA-15, respectively. The preconcentration factor of the method was found to be 200. The detection limit of the technique was 3.4 and 0.4 ng/mL for Pb2+ and Cuz+, respectively. The applications of this methodology for real samples were examined by various water type, black tea and pepper samples.展开更多

The Gd_2 O_3 nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analyses. To study the electrochemical behaviour of venlafaxine cyclic voltammetry(CV), chronoamperometry(CHA)and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) were employed. These studies reveal that the oxidation of venlafaxine is facilitated at Gd_2 O_3/SPE. After optimization of analytical conditions, analysis of venlafaxine using the modified electrode in 0.1 mol/L PBS(pH 7.0) demonstrates that the peak currents corresponding to venlafaxine vary linearly with its concentration in the range of 5.0 ×10^(-6)-9.0 × 10^(-4) mol/L. The detection limit(S/N = 3) of 2.1 × 10^(-7) mol/L is obtained for venlafaxine using DPV. The prepared modified electrode benefits from advantages such as simple preparation method, high sensitivity and low detection limit.Moreover, the evaluation of practical applicability of this proposed method is successful in the identification of venlafaxine in pharmaceutical formulations, urine and water samples.展开更多

The study proves that the sensor has excellent electron-mediating behavior in the oxidation of epinephrine in a 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer solution(PBS)(pH 7.0). The application of the DWO/SPE in differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) is found to lead to distinct response for the oxidation of epinephrine and acetylcholine, with the potentials of the epinephrine and acetylcholine peaks(△Ep) to be 550 mV apart. The detection limits of the method for epinephrine and acetylcholine are 0.5 and 0.7 μmol/L(S/N = 3) and the responses are found to be linear in the concentration ranges of 1.0-900.0 μmol/L and 1.0-1200.0 μmol/L in a PBS buffer(pH = 7.0)respectively. The modified electrode was used for the detection of epinephrine and acetylcholine in real samples and found to produce satisfactory results. These results can be a proof that Dy2(WO4)3 nanoparticles can find promising applications in electrochemical sensors to be used for the analysis of(bio)chemical species.展开更多
