Electrochemical monitoring

Slow Strain-Rate Test In its present state of development, the results from slow strain-rate tests (SSRT) with electrochemical monitoring are not always completely definitive but, for a short-term test, they do provide considerable useful SCC information. Work in our laboratory shows that the SSRT with electrochemical monitoring and the U-bend tests are essentially equivalent in sensitivity in finding SCC. The SSRT is more versatile and faster, providing both mechanical and electrochemical feedback during testing.

Recently, Mottola [98] reported a sensor based on the disk-ring principle previously developed by Kamin and Wilson [99], and Wang and Lin [100]. Unlike Mottola s design, its forerunners involved no stationary ring electrode or rotation of the reactor part in addition, their reactor/electrode was located at the cell bottom. In Mottola s assembly, a product of an enzyme-catalysed reaction at a bioreactor rotated at a constant speed was hydrodynamically transported to a stationary ring electrode, where it was electrochemically monitored. The sample was transported to the detection imit by an tm-... 

Over recent years, the electrochlorination of a wide range of substrates has been reported. The direct halogenation of benzene has been studied at Pt and Rh electrodes and the in situ spectro-electrochemical monitoring of the process with confocal microprobe Raman methods allowed optimization of the reaction conditions [80]. Toluene has been chlorinated at DSAs and the kinetics of this process have been explored in detail [81]. The electrochlorination of 1,4-dimethoxy-2-tert-butylbenzene has been reported in CCI4 and in acetonitrile environments [82]. A difference in mechanism has been proposed to explain the observation of l,4-dimethoxy-2-tert-butyl-5-chlorobenzene and l,4-dimethoxy-2-tert-butyl-6-chlorobenzene, respectively, as the main products. Succinimide is electrochlo-rinated to give A -chlorosuccinimide at platinum electrodes, but the process has been reported to be relatively inefficient due to side reactions (when compared...

The desire for temporal resolution of photolysis led to the development of flash methods. In these experiments [70] the solution is exposed to a short (—10 ps width) burst of light at high intensity (several hundred joules dissipated in the flash lamp). Absorption by the photoactive solute creates a high initial concentration of the primary intermediate. Its decay with time often leads to the rise and fall of other transient species that appear later in the reaction scheme. Because these time dependencies tell much about the photolysis mechanism, flash methods are immensely valuable to photochemistry and have become very common. Usually, the intermediates are followed by UV or visible absorption spectroscopy. Berg and Schweiss were first to implement electrochemical monitoring [71], but Perone and his co-workers have been particularly active since the middle 1960s in the development and application of the technique [67,72-76]. 

Furthermore, samples are not usually optically clear.On the other hand, electrochemical monitoring of these compounds can be done by biosensors. Many reports on enzyme sensors have been published for clinical and food analyses(1,2). The enzyme sensors consisted of the immobilized enzyme and an electrochemical device. However, enzymes are unstable and expensive. Therefore, the enzyme sensors are not suitable for industrial process and environmental control. 

Figure 36.7. Example of Immusoft window appearing in the Analysis menu during the processing of the fluidic steps of an assay. The figure shows the electrochemical monitoring of the fluid flux within the microchannels obtained during the 30 loading steps of the microchannel coating procedure chosen for alkaline phosphatase assays.

Similarly as for the antibody immobilisation, the flow rate is measured during the entire assays thanks to the electrochemical monitoring of the oxygen reduction. The various steps of the assays as programmed in Immusoft are summarised in Table 50.1, and the details concerning the nature and preparation of the standards and of the solutions of detection antibody and ALP-labelled streptavidin are given hereinafter ...

Enzymes play a central role in biotechnological processes in the production of useful materials other than those presented above, and enzyme sensors in which enzyme reaction is coupled with an electrochemical monitoring system are used clinical, process and environmental analyses.

Due to the possibility of electrochemically monitoring the doping level by an applied voltage, a number of in situ experiments have been developed. In such experiments a given property is followed as a function of the doping level. The advantages of such experiments are threefold ... 

UV spectroscopy is often the technique of choice when relatively slow homogeneous reactions should be monitored, but sometimes the use of alternative and different approaches would be desirable. For instance, this situation arises if the species studied are without characteristic UV absorption bands or if the relevant bands are overlapped by the spectrum of other reactants, intermediates and products. In that case, electrochemical monitoring might provide an attractive alternative because of its ease and selectivity.
