Photometric investigations

Photometric measurements of planets and satellites often serve one of two distinct purposes. In the first case the local properties of surfaces or of clouds are sought. If this is accomplished for many places on a planet, then statements on the global characteristics can also be made. An instrument suitable for determination of local reflection properties requires a narrow field of view with many narrow-band 

To find the total energy emitted, full disk measurements must be performed from all directions, to permit integration of the emission over 47T steradians. In addition the spectrum must be integrated from zero wavenumbers to an upper limit that includes most of the thermal emission, but excludes reflected sunlight. This limit

The organic reagents are used extensively for determinations series of elements by different methods of analysis. We carry out the systematical investigation of organic derivatives of hydrazine as a reagent for determinations ion of metals by photometric and extractive-photometric methods or analysis, as well as methods of atomic absorption spectrometry. Series procedure determinations ion of metals in technical and environmental objects have been developed. 

Investigated is the influence of the purity degree and concentration of sulfuric acid used for samples dissolution, on the analysis precision. Chosen are optimum conditions of sample preparation for the analysis excluding loss of Ce(IV) due to its interaction with organic impurities-reducers present in sulfuric acid. The photometric technique for Ce(IV) 0.002 - 0.1 % determination in alkaline and rare-earth borates is worked out. The technique based on o-tolidine oxidation by Ce(IV). The relative standard deviation is 0.02-0.1. 

As the result of the performed investigations was offered to make direct photometric determination of Nd microgram quantities in the presence of 500-fold and 1100-fold quantities of Mo and Pb correspondingly. The rare earth determination procedure involves sample dissolution in HCI, molybdenum reduction to Mo (V) by hydrazine and lead and Mo (V) masking by EDTA. The maximal colour development of Nd-arsenazo III complex was obtained at pH 2,7-2,8. The optimal condition of Nd determination that was established permit to estimate Nd without separation in solution after sample decomposition. Relative standard deviations at determination of 5-20 p.g of Nd from 0,1 g PbMoO are 0,1-0,03. The received data allow to use the offered procedure for solving of wide circle of analytical problems. 

For exposure of reasons of observable discrepancy of results of the analysis simulated experiment with application synthetic reference samples of aerosols [1]. The models have demonstrated absence of significant systematic errors in results XRF. While results AAA and FMA depend on sort of chemical combination of an elements, method of an ashing of a material and mass of silicic acid remaining after an ashing of samples. The investigations performed have shown that silicic acid adsorbs up to 40 % (rel.) ions of metals. The coefficient of a variation V, describing effect of the indicated factors on results of the analysis, varies %) for Mn and Fe from 5 up to 20, for Cu - from 10 up to 40, for Pb - from 10 up to 70, for Co the ambassador of a dry ashing of samples - exceeds 50. At definition Cr by a method AAA the value V reaches 70 %, if element presences an atmosphere in the form of Cr O. At photometric definition Cr (VI) the value V is equal 40%, when the element is present at aerosols in the form of chromates of heavy metals. 

The influence of temperature, solution s pH and other parameters in formation of ionic associate is investigated. As a result, optimal conditions of determination are established pH 4,0 volume of acetate buffer - 0,5 ml volume of 0,1% aqueous solution of CV - 0,3 ml extraction time - 3 minutes. The ratio of aqueous and organic phases is 1 1. Photometric measurement of toluene layer is carried out at = 606,0 nm. The accuracy of procedures checked by the method of additives. 

For kinetic investigations and for activity measurements, either photometric assays or - because of the higher complexity of the reactants converted by biocatalysts - HPEC methods can often be used. Here the ionic liquid itself or impurities may interfere with the analytical method. 

Dagnall and West8 have described the formation and extraction of a blue ternary complex, Ag(I)-l,10-phenanthroline-bromopyrogallol red (BPR), as the basis of a highly sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of traces of silver (Section 6.16). The reaction mechanism for the formation of the blue complex in aqueous solution was investigated by photometric and potentiometric methods and these studies led to the conclusion that the complex is an ion association system, (Ag(phen)2)2BPR2, i.e. involving a cationic chelate complex of a metal ion (Ag + ) associated with an anionic counter ion derived from the dyestuff (BPR). Ternary complexes have been reviewed by Babko.9... 

Methods are described for determining the extent to which original natural color is preserved in processing and subsequent storage of foods. Color differences may be evaluated indirectly in terms of some physical characteristic of the sample or extracted fraction thereof that is largely responsible for the color characteristics. For evaluation more directly in terms of what the observer actually sees, color differences are measured by reflectance spectrophotometry and photoelectric colorimetry and expressed as differences in psychophysical indexes such as luminous reflectance and chromaticity. The reflectance spectro-photometric method provides time-constant records in research investigation on foods, while photoelectric colorimeters and reflectometers may prove useful in industrial color applications. Psychophysical notation may be converted by standard methods to the colorimetrically more descriptive terms of Munsell hue, value, and chroma. Here color charts are useful for a direct evaluation of results. 

TITRATIONS FOR COMPARISON OF METHODS. The automated photometric and turbidimetric methods were compared using 30 cm3 samples of surfactant solution containing a nominal 20 mol SDBS to give an equivalence volume of 5 cm3. The effect of salinity on the titrations was studied using samples prepared containing sodium chloride concentrations of 0.0, 0.14, 0.70 and 1.46 wt%. The influence of the choice of filter (580 or 620 nm) was also investigated.
