A rapid flotation methodology for zinc(II) separation and enrichment from human biofluids is established. At pH 6.0 and ambient temperature, using oleic acid (HOL) as a foaming reagent, zinc(II) was separated with phenanthraquinone monophenyl thiosemicarbazone (PPT) as a new flotation collector for Zn(II). The floated red colored 1 : 2 Zn(II)-PPT complex was measured spectrophotometrically at 526 nm with a molar absorptivity of $1.83 \;{\times}\; 10^5\; L$ mol $L ^{-1}\;cm ^{-1}$. Beer's law was obeyed over a concentration range 0.05-1.0 mg $L ^{-1}$ in the aqueous as well as in the scum layers. The proposed preconcentration flotation methodology was applied to determine Zn(II) in human biofluids. Application was, also, extended to determine Zn(II) in pharmaceutical samples and natural water samples spiked with known amounts of Zn(II) with a preconcentration factor of 100 and a detection limit of 10 ng m$L ^{-1}$. The method was verified by comparison of the spectrophotometric results with flame atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS) measurements. Moreover a postulation for the mechanism of flotation is proposed.

Various types of strain sensors have been developed and widely used in the field for monitoring the mechanical deformation of structures. However, conventional strain sensors are not suited for measuring large strains associated with impact damage and local crack propagation. In addition, strain sensors are resistive-type transducers, which mean that the sensors require an external electrical or power source. In this study, a gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based polymer composite is proposed for large strain sensing. Fabrication of the composites relies on a novel and simple in situ GNP reduction technique that is performed directly within the elastomeric poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) matrix. First, the reducing and stabilizing capacities of PDMS constituents and mixtures are evaluated via visual observation, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The large strain sensing capacity of the GNP-PDMS thin film is then validated by correlating changes in thin film optical properties (e.g., maximum UV-Vis light absorption) with applied tensile strains. Also, the composite's strain sensing performance (e.g., sensitivity and sensing range) is also characterized with respect to gold chloride concentrations within the PDMS mixture.

An enzyme-free optical method is proposed for estimating high concentrations of glucose in a glucose-lactose mixture, based on a predictive equation that takes advantage of the reflective optical power observed at two discrete wavelengths. Compared to the conventional absorption spectroscopy method based on Beer's Law, which is mainly valid for concentrations below hundreds of mg/dL, the proposed scheme, which relies on reflection signals, can be applied to measure higher glucose concentrations, of even several g/dL in a glucose-lactose mixture. Two probe wavelengths of 1160 and 1300 nm were selected to provide a linear relationship between the reflective power and pure glucose/lactose concentration, where the relevant linear coefficients were derived to complete the predictive equation. Glucose concentrations from 2 to 7 g/dL in a glucose-lactose mixture were efficiently estimated, using the established predictive equation based on monitored reflective powers. The standard error of prediction was 1.17 g/dL.

Transition-metal oxide semiconductors have various band gaps. Therefore, many studies have been conducted in various application fields. Among these, methods for the adsorption of organic dyes and utilization of photocatalytic properties have been developed using various metal oxides. In this study, the adsorption and photocatalytic effects of $WO_3$ nanomaterials prepared by hydrothermal synthesis are investigated, with citric acid added in the hydrothermal process as a structure-directing agent. The nanostructures of $WO_3$ are studied using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images. The crystal structure is investigated using X-ray diffraction patterns, and the changes in the dye concentrations adsorbed on $WO_3$ nanorods are measured with a UV-visible absorption spectrophotometer based on Beer-Lambert's law. The methylene blue (MB) dye solution is subjected to acid or base conditions to monitor the change in the maximum adsorption amount in relation to the pH. The maximum adsorption capacity is observed at pH 3. In addition to the dye adsorption, UV irradiation is carried out to investigate the decomposition of the MB dye as a result of photocatalytic effects. Significant photocatalytic properties are observed and compared with the adsorption effects for dye removal.

Aqueous solution of bis(2,4-diaminophenyl)phosphonate(APP) was very stable, especially below pH 2.0 and the red-color compound formed by the reaction of APP and $IO_3-$ was stable at room temperature. A simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of ascorbic acid, potassium antimonyl tartrate (PAT), and isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INAH) was established by the reaction of $IO_3-$ and these reducing drugs, and the absorbance measurements were made at 500 nm. In the reaction of $IO_3-$ and each of the reducing drugs, the conditions of pH were suitable below 2.5 for ascorbic acid, below 2.0 for PAT, and below 1.5 for INAH. Beer's law did hold in the range of $17.6{\sim}1549.9\;ug$ for ascorbic acid, $33.4{\sim}2871.8{\mu}g$ for PAT,and $6.9{\sim}548.6\;{\mu}g$ for INAH. Many common ingredients present in pharmaceutical dosage forms did not interfere. The average recoveries for ascorbic acid and INAH in pharmaceutical formulations were 99.8 $-100.3\;{\pm}\;0.2{\sim}0.4%$, $99.8\;{\pm}\;0.3%$, respectively.

A simple and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method has been described for the determination of buprenorphine either in raw material or in pharmaceutical formulations. The developed method is based on the formation of a colored ion-pair complex (1 : 1 drug/dye) of buprenorphine and bromocresol green (BCG) in buffer pH 3 and extracting in chloroform. The extracted complex shows absorbance maxima at 415 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 1.32-100.81 μ g mL-1. The proposed method has been applied successfully for the determination of drug in commercial sublingual tablets and injectable dosage form. No significant interference was observed from the excipients commonly used as pharmaceutical aids with the assay procedure.

Based on UV spectral changes, we found that 2 exhibits Pb2+ ion selectivity. In basic media, Pb2+ forms a 1:1 complex with the ligand. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 2.0 × 10?6 ? 2.4 × 10?5 mol L?1 of Pb2+. The molar absorptivity (ε ) of 2-Pb2+ complex is 1.89 × 104 L mol?1 cm?1 at 440 nm, and the detection limit is 1.6 × 10?6 mol L?1.

크롬도금 용액에 공존하고 있는 Cr(III)와 Cr(VI)의 양을 자외선/가시광선 분광기에 장착한 흐름계 장치를 이용하여 시료당 5분 이내에 두 가지 물질의 양을 동시에 분석하는 방법을 개발하였다. Cr(III)와 Cr(VI)는 각각 580 nm와 440 nm에서 0.05 g/L와 0.005 g/L 이상의 범위에서 Beer-Lambert 법칙에 따르는 특성 ${\lambda}_{max}$를 나타내며, 이 파장들에서의 흡광도는 pH<4의 조건에서는 pH변화에 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 일반적으로 크롬의 농도가 수 g/L인 후처리 크롬 도금조의 용액을 흐름계의 장치에서 pH=1의 황산 용액으로 묽힌 후, 자외선/가시광선 분광기로 측정하면 Cr(III)와 Cr(VI)의 양 및 총 크롬의 양을 기존의 산화-환원 적정 방법(최소 40분/sample)보다 간편하고 신속정확하게 동시 정량할 수 있었다. 이 장치는 설치 및 사용이 간단하고, 설치 비용이 저렴하므로 많은 도금 산업 현장에서 용이하게 응용할 수 있다.

산성조건에서 HCr$O_4^-$이온과 $H_2O_2$사이의 산화-환원반응의 생성물인 $CrO(O_2)_2$의흡광도의 측정에 근거를 두어 개발된 흡수분광분석법에 FIA기법을 접목하여 $Cr_2O_7^{2-}$이온과 Mn$O_4^-$이온을 함유하는 혼합시료에 대한 새로운 분석법을 개발하였다. 새로운 분석법은 혼합물 시료의 분석과정에서 두 번에 걸친 주입분석을 수행해야 하고 $Cr_2O_7^{2-}$이온의 분석에 앞서 Mn$O_4^-$이온의 제거를 위한 별도의 작업을 선행해야 한다는 번거로움을 내포하지만, 두 가지의 분석파장들을 사용해야 하는 기존의 흡수분광분석법에 비해 단일분석파장(570 nm)를 사용할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 또한, 새로운 분석법은 주어진 분석파장(570 nm)에서 넓은 농도범위($Cr_2O_7^{2-}$이온:$2.0{\times}10^{-6}$M∼$8.0 {\times}10^{-3}$M,Mn$O_4^-$이온:$2.0{\times}10^{-6}$M∼$4.0{\times}10^{-3}$M)에 걸쳐 Beer의 법칙을 정확히 따르는 검정선의 작성이 가능하다는 점에 있어서 기존의 흡수분광분석법에 비해 $Cr_2O_7^{2-}$이온과 Mn$O_4^-$이온의 분석의 용이성을 더욱 증대시킬 수 있다는 장점도 가진다.
