Spectrophotometry aromatic amines

The end group of the polymers, photoinitiated with aromatic amine with or without the presence of carbonyl compound BP, has been detected with absorption spectrophotometry and fluororescence spectrophotometry [90]. The spectra showed the presence of tertiary amino end group in the polymers initiated with secondary amine such as NMA and the presence of secondary amino end group in the polymers initiated with primary amine such as aniline. These results show that the amino radicals, formed through the deprotonation of the aminium radical in the active state of the exciplex from the primary or secondary aromatic amine molecule, are responsible for the initiation of the polymerization.

A similar study was carried out using a different set of synthetic dyes. The chemical structures of the dyes are listed in Fig. 3.62. The decomposition products were separated in an ODS column (250 X 4 mm i.d. particle size 7 /tm) using an isocratic mobile phase composed of methanol-water (45 55, v/v). The flow rate was 1.2 ml/min. The contents of aromatic amines determined by spectrophotometric and HPLC methods are compiled in Table 3.24. It was established that spectrophotometry can be used for the exact determination of the amines but it is inadequate for their separation. RP-HPLC proved to be a valuable method for the analysis of this class of decomposition products [131],... 

A method frequently used to determine aromatic amines in water-soluble dyes involves their extraction with chloroform, followed by diazotization of amines and coupling of diazonium salts with a reagent R-salt (disodium-3-hydroxy-naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate) or pyrazolone T (4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-l-(4-sulfophenyl-)l/7-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid). The separated products are detected by UV-VIS spectrophotometry or fluorescence (210-212). 

UVV spectrophotometry is one of the simplest and fastest methods for determination of aromatic amines and may serve also for identification purpose with the aid of diode array detectors. A study was carried out on the performance of direct phase (silica gel) and RP (Cis) columns, using a MeOH-O.l M NaC104 mobile phase, for the HPLC-UVD (at 256 nm) analysis of five aromatic amines aniline (la), 1- (8a) and 2-napththylamine (9a), di- (DPA) and triphenylamine (TPA). Good resolutions and separation factors were observed with the RP column for la vs. the other analytes and for 8a or 9a vs. DPA or TPA however, separation of the 8a-9a or DPA-TPA pairs was poor210. 

NIR spectrophotometry in the region from 8000 to 4000 cm-1 was used to measure the kinetics of copolymerization of an aromatic bismaleimide (72) derived from an aromatic diamine (e.g. 5a), taking place at 160 to 180 °C. The following NIR spectral ranges were useful for this study primary amine first overtones (vn h) at 7000 to 6400 cm-1, double bond first overtone (vc=c-h) at 6100 cm-1, aromatic first overtones (vc-h) at 6000 to 5750 cm-1, aliphatic first overtones (vc-h) at 5750 to 5350 cm-1 and primary aromatic amine combination bands first overtones (vn h + <5nh2) at 5150 to 4800 cm-1. The process consisted mainly of a second-order Michael addition, as depicted in equation 14, and not the plausible imide opening to yield a maleic dianilide (119), as shown in equation 15. A Michael addition between maleimide moieties and secondary amine moieties present in the products (118) also takes place, however at a rate of about one fourth of that of the primary amine moieties. To improve the SNR of the measurements, usually the results of... 

Aromatic amines (aniline and substituted anilines) are used as intermediates in industrial and pharmaceutical chemistry [11], Because of their aromatic character, they strongly absorb in the UV range. A recent study has shown the great interest for the study of aromatic amines from azo-dyes reduction using UV spectrophotometry [12], On the opposite, aliphatic amines do not absorb directly (see Section 4.2). 

Figure 13 presents the raw and treated spectra of a coloured textile wastewater already studied in Fig. 9. The treatment plant includes a physico-chemical step and a biological process (activated sludge). The UV-visible spectra show that the first step leads to the removal of compounds responsible of at least 50% of wastewater colour. The effect of the biological step completes the TOC removal up to 80%, without degrading aromatic amines, responsible for the 270 nm shoulder. This well-known problem is easily shown with the use of UV-visible spectrophotometry.

Antioxidant and antiozonant types most commonly used are aromatic amines or phenolics, though others are also employed, and can be determined using a variety of techniques such as UV-visible spectrophotometry, FTIR, near-infrared spectroscopy, TEC, GC (if the material can be volatilized), supercritical fluid chromatography, and HPLC. Identification of unknown antioxidants requires a separation technique like chromatography followed by mass spectrometry, NMR, ETIR, X-ray crystallography, etc. Standardized TEC methods are given in ASTM D3156 and... 

The standard method for the determination of nitrite in seawater is based on the reaction of nitrite with an aromatic amine leading to the formation of a diazonium compound which couples with a second aromatic amine. The product is an azo dye which is quantified by spectrophotometry. Early methods were modifications of the Griess-Ilosvay procedure where the nitrite diazotized with sulphamic acid. The diazonium salt then coupled with 1-naphthylamine. The method described below is generally accepted for seawater analysis and is based on the method proposed by Shinn (1941) and adapted for seawater by Bendschnei-der and Robinson (1952). This method is very sensitive and is unaffected by the presence of other constituents normally occurring in seawater. Sulphanilamide hydrochloride is used as the amino compound, which after diazotization is coupled with N-(l-naphthyl)-ethylene-diamine dihydrochloride. 

Spectrophotometry in the ultraviolet (UV) range has repeatedly proven to be a fast, inexpensive and reliable method for the monitoring of many compounds in urban and industrial wastewaters (Narayana and Sunil 2009 Pinheiro et al. 2004). Through the application of spectral analysis, quantitative and qualitative wastewater parameters can be estimated on direct samples in just a few minutes, using portable or online field instrumentation. Perez (2001) has successfully applied UV spectral deconvolution on wastewater monitoring in a chemical industry, for the estimation of aniline derivative concentrations. In the case of textile effluents, the use of the UV range of the spectra (200-350 nm) for aromatic amine determination is particularly useful to avoid interference by visible colour of dyes. The characteristic... 

Fluorescence quenching of fluorene, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophens by aromatic nitriles and aliphatic amines is the result of electron transfer with exciplex formation,177 and ion-pair formation in pyromellitic dianhydride-ethylbenzene is followed by dissociation into separated ion pairs in their highly excited states.178 Photochemical iodination of aromatic hydrocarbons may proceed by way of an electronically excited Ia-aromatic charge-transfer complex.179 Modulation excitation spectrophotometry has been used to analyse the nature of some complexes between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chloranil.180... 

UV/visible spectroscopy is a very useful method for the routine monitoring of industrial effluent discharges. In addition, direct UV/visible spectrophotometry can be an ideal technique for the monitoring of treatment processes such as biodegradation, chemical oxidation and reduction, photo-oxidation, photolysis and adsorption, operated for the removal of residual amines and other aromatics.
