It was based on the catalytic effect of gold on the oxidation of sudan red III by ammonium peroxodisulfate ((NH4)2S2O8) with nitrilo triacetic acid as an activator in microemulsion and H2SO4 medium. Under optimum conditions, there was the linearity of the calibration curve in the concentration range from 0 to 20 μg/L Au(Ⅲ) at 520 nm. The relative standard deviation was 3.0% with a correlation coefficient of 0.9986. The detection limit achieved was 9.75 × 10^-5 μg/mL. A new method using a column packed with sulfhydryl dextrose gel (SDG) as a solid-phase extractant has been developed for the preconcentration and separation of Au(Ⅲ) ions. The method has been applied to the determination of trace gold with satisfactory results.展开更多

And NaIO4 could oxidize R to cause the RTP quenching. Arsenic(V) could catalyze the reaction of NaIO4 oxidizing R, which caused the RTP sharply quenching. The reducing value of phosphorescence intensity (ΔIp) for the system with DBS is 3.3 times higher than that without DBS. Moreover, the ΔIp is proportional to the concentration of As(V). Based on the facts above, a new RTP quenching method for the determination of trace As(V) has been established.展开更多

Orange Ⅳ exhibited a sensitive second order derivative polarographic wave at -0 50 V( vs . SCE). This provides the basis for a sensitive and selective catalytic kinetic method for oxalate determination with second order derivative oscillopolarography. The effects of sulphuric acid, K 2Cr 2O 7, and orange Ⅳ concentrations, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated. A calibration curve of oxalate in the range of 0 1-2 0 μg/mL was obtained by the fixed time procedure. The detection limit was 0 03 μg/ mL. The possible interference from co existing substances or ions was examined. The new method has a high sensitivity and a good selectivity compared to other existing methods for oxalic acid determination. It has been applied to the determination of micro amounts of oxalate in real urine samples with satisfactory results.展开更多

Many techniques such as Brumauer-Emmett-Teller(BET), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), temperature programmed reduction(H_2-TPR), temperature-programmed desorption(O_2-TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were used to characterize catalysts. The results of catalytic performance tests showed that the catalyst CeO_2-Co_3O_4 with Co/(Co+Ce) ratio of 0.95 exhibited the best performance, and the temperature of complete oxidation of HCHO was 80 oC. The analytical results indicated that the addition of CeO_2 enhanced the specific surface area of Co_3O_4 and the fine dispersion of both of them. Moreover, the strong interaction between CeO_2 and Co_3O_4 resulted in the unique redox properties, which enhanced the available surface active oxygen and led to high valence state of cobalt oxide species. All those effects played crucial roles in the excellent performance of CeO_2-Co_3O_4 for the HCHO oxidation.展开更多

But its short service life limits its large-scale application in industry. Electro-catalytic degradation performances and service life of the electrode can be significantly improved by doping rare earth(RE) ions into the oxide coating of Ti/SnO2–Sb electrode. Ti/SnO2–Sb electrodes doped with different RE elements(Ce, Dy, La, and Eu) were prepared by the thermal decomposition method at 550 ℃. Electro-catalytic degradation performances of electrodes doped with different RE elements were evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry(LSV) and Tafel curves. During the electrolysis,the conversion of p-nitrophenol was performed with these electrodes as anodes under galvanostatic control. The structures and morphologies of the surface coating of the electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results demonstrate that the electro-catalytic degradation performances of Ti/SnO2–Sb electrodes are improved to different levels by doping different RE ions. Improved Ti/SnO2–Sb electrodes by the introduction of different RE have higher oxygen evolution potential, better electro-catalysis ability, better coverage,and longer electrode life.展开更多

The composites retained high surface areas and pore volumes comparable with those of undoped γ-Al2O3 and the presence of the transition metal ions enhanced their surface acidic properties. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts in the oxidation of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) was studied in the temperature range of 250-400℃. The catalytic activity and product selectivity were strongly dependent on the presence and the type of dopant ion. While Cu^2+- and Cr^3+-containing catalysts showed 100% conversion at 300℃ and 350℃, V3+-containing catalyst showed considerably lower conversion. Furthermore, while the major products of the reactions over γ-alumina were vinyl chloride (C2H3Cl) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) at all temperatures, Cu- and Cr-doped catalysts showed siguiticantly stronger capability for deep oxidation to CO2.展开更多
