The optimal conditions for achieving higher sensitivity of ammonia determination were examined using a three-line flow system. The limit of detection corresponding to a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3 was 0.005 mg l(-1) (≡ 5 ppb) of NH(4)(+). A calibration graph was linear in the range from 5 ppb to 1000 ppb of ammonium ion. The relative standard deviations (n=9) for 50 ppb and 100 ppb of ammonium ion were 6.4% and 2.2%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of ammonia in the exhaust gas of a thermal power plant. Prior to the FIA determination, ammonia in the exhaust gas was absorbed into a boric acid solution; the absorption solution was then analyzed by the proposed FIA. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TsuboiTomonori en-aut-sei=Tsuboi en-aut-mei=Tomonori kn-aut-name=坪井知則 kn-aut-sei=坪井 kn-aut-mei=知則 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiranoYoshio en-aut-sei=Hirano en-aut-mei=Yoshio kn-aut-name=平野義男 kn-aut-sei=平野 kn-aut-mei=義男 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataYoshinori en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Yoshinori kn-aut-name=柴田佳典 kn-aut-sei=柴田 kn-aut-mei=佳典 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc.

The DMBA solution for the color development was prepared by dissolving it in diluted hydrochloric acid without using any organic solvents such as alcohols. The reagent solution proposed in this work had several advantages, compared with the alcoholic solution usually used in the batchwise spectrophotometric method. The solution was easily prepared with hydrochloric acid and water, stable for longer times and did not evolve when the solution was mixed with sample solutions, and the waste treatment was easier than for the alcoholic solution. A carrier (H(2)O)and the reagent solution were propelled at flow rates of 1.0 ml min(-1) and 0.6 ml min(-1), respectively. They were merged to flow into a reaction coil (0.6 mm i.d.×6 m) kept in a temperature-controlled air bath at 80℃.Samples were injected into the carrier stream, and the reaction product was measured at 458 nm. Metal ions and ammonia did not interfere with the determination of hydrazine. The calibration graph was linear up to 100 ppb of hydrazine, and the detection limit corresponding to a signal to noise ratio of 3 was 0.2 ppb.Relative standard deviations for seven replicates of 5, 50 and 100 ppb of hydrazine were 1.1, 0.9 and 0.4%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of hydrazine in boiler feed water samples. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TsuboiTomonori en-aut-sei=Tsuboi en-aut-mei=Tomonori kn-aut-name=坪井知則 kn-aut-sei=坪井 kn-aut-mei=知則 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakamuraTakahiro en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name=中村孝洋 kn-aut-sei=中村 kn-aut-mei=孝洋 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsukuraAkiko en-aut-sei=Matsukura en-aut-mei=Akiko kn-aut-name=松倉亜希子 kn-aut-sei=松倉 kn-aut-mei=亜希子 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=中国電力(株)技術研究センター affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=中国電力(株)技術研究センター affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=中電環境テクノス(株) affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=hydrazine kn-keyword=hydrazine en-keyword=boiler feed water kn-keyword=boiler feed water en-keyword=FIA kn-keyword=FIA en-keyword=spectrophotometry kn-keyword=spectrophotometry en-keyword=p-dimethylami-nobenzaldehyde kn-keyword=p-dimethylami-nobenzaldehyde END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=48 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=253 end-page=259 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1999 dt-pub=19990205 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Development of a new gas-permeation system and its application to the spectrophotometric determination of ammonium ion by FIA kn-title=精密分析用ガス透過システムの設計とガス透過/フローインジェクション法によるアンモニア態窒素の吸光光度定量 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=ガス透過分離におけるガス透過の長期間の安定性と高効率化,更にガス透過効率の長期間の再現性を向上させた,新しいオンラインガス透過システムを構築した.このシステムでは新しく設計・製作したガス透過ユニットを組み込み,ユニット中を溶液が下方から上方に流れるようにし,気泡の発生を防ぐ工夫がほどこされ,更に測定後にガス透過ユニット内に滞留する溶液を排除するために2個の六方切り替えバルブを内蔵させている.ガスの安定的透過のために温度制御できる小型恒温槽を装着した.この装置中にガス透過ユニット,アンモニウムイオン定量用の反応コイルなどを組み入れ,精密測定の向上を目指した.ガス透過ユニットは,多孔質ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)チューブとガラス管からなり,接続には樹脂製フェラル及びO-リングを用い,組み立てを容易にし,デッドボリュームも小さくした.ガス透過ユニット,反応コイル及び試料注入器などを恒温槽の中で一定温度に保つことにより,安定した再現性の良い測定が可能となった.ガス透過ユニット内に滞留する溶液を簡単かつ迅速に強制排除する機能も備えており,測定後はガス透過ユニット中の溶液を除いておくことにより,多孔質チューブの透過性能が長期間維持され,再活性化の操作をすることなく,高いガス透過効率を維持することができた.本システムを用いると,検量線は0〜10,0〜1.0ppmの範囲で良好な直線性を示し,1時間当たり30試料の分析が可能となった.実際に,河川水中のアンモニウムイオンの定量を行ったところ,インドフェノール誘導体/FIA/吸光光度法による定量値と良く一致し,試料に対する相対標準偏差は0.51,0.83%で,回収率は97〜98%と良好であった. kn-abstract=A new on-line gas-permeation system was developed to enhance the efficiency and stability of gas permeation for a long time, and was applied to the determination of ammonium ion in river-water samples by the flow- injection method. The proposed gas-permeation system consists of a newly designed gas-permeation unit, a sample injection valve, a reaction coil and two six-way rotary valves in a constant-temperature oven. The gas- permeation unit was assembled using an inner micro porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane tubing and an outer glass tube, which could be easily connected with one another using connectors with ferrules and o-rings. A sample solution was injected into a carrier containing 0.02 M sodium hydroxide, in which ammonium ion was converted to gaseous ammonia. The gaseous ammonia generated in the carrier passed through the micro porous PTFE membrane, was absorbed in a reagent solution and changed the pH of the reagent solution, which resulted in a color change to cresol red. The absorbance change of cresol red at 550 nm was measured using a visible detector with a flow cell (8μl, 10mm path). After the measurement, two six-way rotary valves were switched over from the flowing state to the drain state of the gas-permeation unit, and the residual solutions in the gas-permeation unit were removed and the PTFE membrane tubing was dried. By keeping the temperature of the oven at 40℃, the sensitivity and the reproducibility for the determination of ammonium ion was improved. Furthermore, the efficiency of gas permeation through the inner tubing could be kept high and constant for a long period without any procedure for reactivating the porous PTFE membrane tubing. Calibration graphs for ammonium ion were liner over ranges of 0 to 10 ppm and 0 to 1.0 ppm of N-NH(4)(+), and the sampling rate was 30 samples per hour. The detection limit for N-NH(4)(+) was about 0.01 ppm when the effective length of the membrane tubing was 5 cm. By using the proposed FIA system, ammonium ion in river-water samples was determined. The analytical results obtained by the proposed method showed a good correlation with those obtained using the indophenol derivatization/FIA method. The relative standard deviations of ten injections were 0.51% and 0.83% with concentrations of 2.73 ppm and 4.11 ppm, respectively. The recoveries of ammonium ion were found to be 97〜98%. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HiguchiKeiro en-aut-sei=Higuchi en-aut-mei=Keiro kn-aut-name=樋口慶郎 kn-aut-sei=樋口 kn-aut-mei=慶郎 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=InoueAkiko en-aut-sei=Inoue en-aut-mei=Akiko kn-aut-name=井上亜希子 kn-aut-sei=井上 kn-aut-mei=亜希子 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsuboiTomonori en-aut-sei=Tsuboi en-aut-mei=Tomonori kn-aut-name=坪井知則 kn-aut-sei=坪井 kn-aut-mei=知則 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=東京化成工業(株)FIA研究グループ affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=中国電力(株)技術研究センター affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=gas permeation system kn-keyword=gas permeation system en-keyword=microporous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane tubing kn-keyword=microporous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane tubing en-keyword=FIA with gas permeation method kn-keyword=FIA with gas permeation method en-keyword=determination of ammonium ion kn-keyword=determination of ammonium ion en-keyword=river water sample kn-keyword=river water sample END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=51 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=47 end-page=51 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2002 dt-pub=20020105 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Sensitive determination of ammonia in exhaust gas of thermal power plant using gas permeation/flow injection system kn-title=ガス拡散/フローインジェクション分析法による排ガス吸収液中の微量アンモニアの高感度定量 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A flow injection analysis coupled with a gas permeation unit for the sensitive determination of ammonia was investigated to improve the sensitivity and the rapidity of the determination of trace amounts of ammonia in exhaust gas. As gas sampling times are shortened, ammonium concentrations in absorption liquid (boric acid solution) will be lowered; the determination sensitivity of ammonia in the absorption liquid needs to be improved. Various experimental conditions, such as reagent solutions, sample sizes, reaction temperatures, flow rates of the reagent solutions and the length of gas permeation tube, were investigated and optimized. Of these, the reaction temperature and the length of gas permeation tube were found to greatly effect the sensitivity improvement for the determination of ammonia. The effect of the length of the microporous PTFE tube used for the gas permeation system was investigated by varying the length from 5 cm to 50 cm. The results showed that is the 50 cm tube, the peak height was about 6 times higher than in the 10 cm tube, and the percentage of the permeation of ammonia was about 55% and 9% in the 50 cm and 10 cm tube, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of detection of ammonia was lowered down to on fifth of the previous system. The limit of detection corresponding to the standard deviation of the reagent blank of 3 was 4 μg l(-1) of NH(4)(+). A calibration graph was linear from 10 μg l(-1) to 500 μg l(-1) of NH(4)(+). The relative standard deviations for 50 μg l(-1) and 100 μg l(-1) of NH(4)(+) were 4.5% and 2.3%, respectively. The proposed method was suitably applied to the determination of ammonia in the exhaust gas of the thermal power plant. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TsuboiTomonori en-aut-sei=Tsuboi en-aut-mei=Tomonori kn-aut-name=坪井知則 kn-aut-sei=坪井 kn-aut-mei=知則 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiranoYoshio en-aut-sei=Hirano en-aut-mei=Yoshio kn-aut-name=平野義男 kn-aut-sei=平野 kn-aut-mei=義男 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataYoshinori en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Yoshinori kn-aut-name=柴田佳典 kn-aut-sei=柴田 kn-aut-mei=佳典 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=中国電力 (株) 技術研究センター affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=中国電力 (株) 技術研究センター affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=中電環境テクノス (株) affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=gas permeation system kn-keyword=gas permeation system en-keyword=ammonia kn-keyword=ammonia en-keyword=exhaust gas of a thermal power plant kn-keyword=exhaust gas of a thermal power plant en-keyword=FIA kn-keyword=FIA END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=53 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=309 end-page=314 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2004 dt-pub=20040914 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Rapid and simple determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) with potassium permanganate as an oxidizing agent by a flow-injection technique using a platinum-tube reactor kn-title=白金チューブを反応管として用いる過マンガン酸カリウム酸化/フローインジェクション分析法による化学的酸素要求量の迅速定量 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=化学的酸素要求量(COD)の迅速定量についてフローインジェクション/吸光光度定量の検討を行った.過マンガン酸カリウムを酸化剤として用い,この酸化反応の反応時間を促進させ,短縮するため触媒を用いる方法について検討した.その結果,白金チューブを反応コイルとして用いることにより,酸化反応が促進され測定時間を大幅に短縮できることが分かった.白金チューブ反応コイルのフローインジェクション分析(FIA)法への適用について詳細な検討を行った結果,D-グルコースを標準物質としたとき,検量線は0〜100 ppmの範囲で良好な直線性を示した.S/N=3に相当する検出限界は0.01 ppmであり,5,10,20,50,100 ppmのD-グルコースに対する相対標準偏差は,それぞれ0.9,0.8,0.8,0.5,1.4%であった.本FIA法は,排水のCOD迅速定量に適用可能であり,またCODモニターとして利用できる. kn-abstract=A rapid and simple spectrophotometric determination method for chemical oxygen demand in water samples was developed using a flow-injection method.
