New Photochemical And Electrochemical Methods For The Degradation Of Pesticides In Aqueous Media. Environmental Applications, J. J. Aaron, Mehmet A. Oturan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The development of new electrochemical and photochemical methods for the decontamination of natural water containing significant concentrations of aromatic pesticides is described. The electrochemical method is based on the electro-Fenton process, i.e. the simultaneous reduction of O_{2} and Fe^{3+} ions. Hydroxyl (OH^{.}) radicals are electrosynthesized in aqueous solutions, followed by complete mineralization of the initial pollutants. The photochemical methods involve either a direct photodegradation reaction of pesticides by UV light, or indirect photodegradation processes including H_{2}O_{2} photolysis or photo-Fenton reagents (H_{2}O_{2}/ Fe^{3+} ). Examples of the application of these methods to chlorophenoxy acid herbicides and four aromatic pesticides (bendiocarb, pirimiphos-methyl, …

Fluorimetric Detection Of Insulin In The Presence Of Eu(Iii) - {Pyridine - 2,6 - Dicarboxylate} Tris Complex, Elmas Gök, Serdar Ateş Jan 2001

Fluorimetric Detection Of Insulin In The Presence Of Eu(Iii) - {Pyridine - 2,6 - Dicarboxylate} Tris Complex, Elmas Gök, Serdar Ateş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Bovine insulin solutions (pH=9.3) have maximum absorption at 278 \pm 2 nm and an intrinsic emission at 305 nm when excited at 282 nm. The relative fluorescence intensities show linear dependence on its concentration: 10 \mug/mL< [Ins] < 200 \mug/mL. When Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-} tris complex is added to these solutions, it has a hyperchromic effect at 278 nm absorption band of insulin, sensitizing the emission intensities of central Eu^{3+} metal ion of the complex at 590 and 615 nm, and simultaneously quenching the emission intensity of hormone at 305 nm. Stern-Volmer plots show that a mechanism of bimolecular quenching at 305 nm and sensitization at 615 nm are valid up to a mole ratio, R = [Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}]/[Ins] < 2.0. An intramolecular rather than an intermolecular energy transfer is proposed. An apparent binding constant, log K_{app}=4.70 \pm 0.13, is calculated for Ins-[Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}]_{2} type product, the presence of which may offer a new luminescence technique as a diagnostic tool and an alternative to radio-iodinated (^{131}I -) insulin. A simple, rapid and accurate quantitation of insulin is proposed by using a fixed concentration of Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}, and measuring its initial F_{0} at \lambda_{exc}/ \lambda_{em}=282/615 nm and the difference, \DeltaF after sensitization when \sim 100 microliters of insulin sample is added. The coefficient of variation (CV), the relative error and minimum detectable amount of bovine insulin hormone are found to be 3.0%, 1.2% and 7.3 \pm 0.2 \mug /mL respectively.
