Filters, light absorption

Test 1. Mix a quantity containing 40 mg of miconazole nitrate with 20 mL of a mixture of 1 volume of 1 M sulfuric acid and 4 volumes of methanol and shake with two 50 mL quantities of hexane, discarding the organic layers. Make the aqueous phase alkaline with 2 M ammonia and extract with two 40 mL quantities of chloroform. Combine the chloroform extracts, shake with 5 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, and dilute the filtrate to 100 mL with chloroform. Evaporate 50 mL to dryness and dissolve the residue in 50 mL of a mixture of 1 volume of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid and 9 volumes of methanol. The light absorption of the resulting solution, Appendix II B, in the range 230-350 nm exhibits maxima at 264, 272, and 282 nm. 

The charge-transfer nitrations of the aromatic donors are generally carried out to rather low actinic conversions to avoid complications from light absorption by the nitroarene products, and in duplicate sets (with a dark control) to monitor simultaneously any competition from thermal processes. For example, the yellow solution of anisole and Me2PyN02 in acetonitrile at — 40°C is irradiated with the aid of the cut-off filter that effectively removes all excitation light with Aexc<400nm. After reasonable photochemical conversions are attained, the H NMR spectrum is found to be virtually identical to that of the reaction mixture obtained by electrophilic (thermal) nitration (60). 

Filter substrates were chosen that were suited for subsequent determinations of aerosol mass, total carbon, elemental carbon, trace metals and aerosol light absorption coefficient The three filter assemblies contained, a 47 mm Pallflex Tissuquartz filter (2500 QAO), a 47 mm Nuclepore polycarbonate filter (0.40 ym pore size) and a 13 mm Pallflex Tissuquartz filter (2500 QAO).

Nevertheless, in order to obtain reliable results with lignins, fluorescence, light absorption, and anisotropy must be taken into account. Fluorescence is easily eliminated by the use of an adequate interference filter. It is well known that lignins exhibit an absorption spectrum with a maximum in the near ultra-violet tailing all the way into the visible. 

While these methods can readily be employed in real time , light absorption of soot particles was first developed for laboratory measurements of particles collected on filters and then adapted for online deployment [25]. Sampling on filter tapes allows quasi-continuous measurement by recording the decrease of transmitted light and moving the tape when the exposed area becomes too dark. 

Multi-elemental analysis by non-destructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is possible on filter tape samples similar to those collected for particle light absorption measurements. Up to 23 elements with the atomic number of potassium and above can be analysed by this method simultaneously, with a time resolution down to 15 min. 

Optically dilute and concentrated conditions usually give very different results when the photochemical reactions form products that absorb a significant fraction of light that has driven the photochemical reaction. The effect of light absorption by a product is known as inner filter when the product is photochemically inert. When... 

A suitable filter is needed to secure maximum light absorption and adherence to Beer s law (Fig. 27). In Table 8 a survey of a few dyes with the appropriate wavelength is given. 

Test 2 To a quantity of powdered tablets containing 10 mg of dipyridamole, add 50 mL of methanol, warm slightly, shake for 15 min, and allow to cool. Add sufficient methanol to produce 100 mL, and filter. To 10 mL of the filtrate, add 1 mL of 1 M hydrochloric acid and sufficient methanol to produce 100 mL. The light absorption of the resulting solution (see Appendix II B of the BP) in the range of 220 450 nm exhibits three maxima, namely 230, 285, and 405 nm. 

According to the Pharmacopoeia of the People s Republic of China [7], the method of identification testing of mefenamic acid in capsule and tablet preparations is based on light absorption spectrophotometry. A specific quantity of the powdered contents of capsules (or powdered tablets), equivalent to 0.25 g mefenamic acid, is dissolved in a mixture of 10 mL of 0.1 mL/L hydrochloric acid/methanol (1 99), shaken, and filtered. Then some quantity of the filtrate is diluted with the above-mixed solution to produce a solution having a concentration of about 20 pg/mL. The absorption spectrum of the solution exhibits maxima at 279 nm and 350 nm. 

Simpler, cheaper and more practical approaches adopted subsequently to compensate for the interference colours of STN-LCDs involve the use of a passive optical element, such as selective polarisers and colour filters, see Chapter 2. A black-on-white appearance is produced most efficiently by using optical retardation layers with a high birefringence and an opposite twist sense to the STN-LCD. However, this also reduces the brightness of the display due to additional light absorption.
