Periodic methods

Stability to oxidation (induction period method) Oxygenates content... 

The methods of analysis of the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) are the principal procedures followed in the United States and Canada and are official in commercial transactions. When the material is for human consumption or dmg use, it must meet the specifications of the USP (12). Commercial distilled grades of glycerol do not requite purification before analysis by the usual methods. The deterrnination of glycerol content by the periodate method (13), which replaced the acetin and dichromate methods previously used, is more accurate and more specific as well as simpler and more rapid. 

The payback-period method takes no account of cash flows or profits received after the breakeven point has been reached. The method is based on the premise that the earher the fixed capital is recovered, the better the project. However, this approach can Be misleading.

It was argued that by the use of this method it is possible to increase the precision in the T value by a factor of two, as compared to what can be obtained by the FIR method with the same measurement time. With the constant-relaxation-period method, the number of systematic errors should decrease, since both the initial and final states are recorded for every phase. 

Oxidation Stability of Gasoline (Induction Period Method)... 

Porta published in 1608 at Rome a work on distillation, its methods, apparatus and applications, which is of interest as giving a more comprehensive view of the applications of distillation in the sixteenth century than is found in any other work of the period. Methods and apparatus for distillation had been described from very early times, by Zosimus, pseudo-Geber, Brunschwylc, Biringuccio, Agricola and many others for particular applications. 

Tootelian and Gaedeke, 1993 West, 2003). The visual method requires the pharmacist or designated person to look at the number of units in inventory and compare them with a listing of how many should be carried. When the number falls below the desired amount, an order is placed. The periodic method requires the pharmacist or designated person to count the stock on hand at predetermined intervals and compare it with minimum desired levels. If the quantity is below the minimum, the product is ordered. 

Although the visual and periodic methods are still used today, perpetual inventory systems are common in all pharmacy settings. These perpetual systems are computerized inventory management systems. Perpetual inventory management systems are the most efficient method to manage inventory. This method allows the inventory to be monitored at all times. The entire inventory may be entered into the computer, and with the filling of each prescription, the appropriate inventory can be reduced automatically. A perpetual system can tell precisely the amount of inventory on hand for any product at any time. Moreover, the pharmacy manager can quickly assess the value of current inventory. 

These treatments convert to ionic substances, and remove, nearly all constituents of natural materials the acid treatments release any inositol present as phosphate, or combined in phospholipids, glycosides, etc. Glycerol remains in the deionized sample, but it can be oxidized separately, or be removed by heat decomposition or by repeatedly evaporating the solution to dryness. Such polyhydric alcohols of greater chain length as erythritol and mannitol, when present, would still interfere. However, corrections can be made for these compounds by determining the formaldehyde which they form on periodate oxidation, or they may be removed by chromatography on filter paper. The micro-periodate method is well suited to the analysis of samples eluted from filter paper, provided that care is exercised to remove the tiny particles of cellulose which are usually found in such eluates. 

Both aminolysis and periodate methods have been shown to be comparable in terms of the phenolic hydroxyl content obtained for milled wood lignin (MWL) and kraft lignin from Norway spruce (Mansson 1983) and for Norway spruce and aspen wood meals (Lai et al. 1990). 

As indicated by the values in Table 7.2.1, the periodate oxidation method yields consistently higher values (8 and 10% for Norway spruce and aspen wood meals, respectively) for phenolic hydroxyl content than are obtained using the aminolysis procedure. The reasons for these variations are not clear. However, in a series of replicate determinations, the aminolysis method has a considerably higher standard deviation compared to the periodate method which may be partly attributable to the larger number of steps involved in the analysis. 

We have shown in the first part what are the consequences of the absence of the zeolite framework on a reaction. This has an important energetic effect. The reaction mechanisms predicted by the cluster approach appear to be very similar to periodic method ones. 

In a recent procedure to detect carcinogen-DNA adducts by radioimmunoassay, A-(guanosin-8-yl)acetylaminofluorine was linked to BSA by the periodate method, and the conjugate was used to elicit specific antibodies to this product, which is formed when N-acetoxy-2-acetylamino-fluorene reacts with DNA.
