An instrument was developed which performs analysis of the
oxygen content of air by means of a commercial polarographic oxygen
electrode. The oxygen analyzer is part of a portable instrument
which converts the current from the oxygen electrode into a pulse
whose width is proportional to the oxygen concentration. This...
An all-glass gas chromatograph was developed for the analysis
of corrosive metal halides. Included in the apparatus is a new liquid
sampling system designed for fast repetitive sampling of corrosive
liquids in an inert atmosphere. A flame photometer detector was developed
to permit the detection of corrosive solutes in the...
Aromatic Nitro Compounds. The n-values for the reduction of
the isomers of nitrophenol and nitrobenzoic acid and for several
other nitro compounds are determined in dimethylsulfoxide by controlled
potential coulometry. A procedure is given in which one
mole of nitro compound may be determined with errors of less than
one...
Voltage scanning coulometry was used to study the effects of
electrode surfaces and metals on the electrochemistry of the ferric-ferrous couple and the silver ion-silver metal couple. The analytical
technique called voltage scanning coulometry is very similar to controlled
potential coulometry. The main difference is that in voltage
scanning coulometry...
Many different aspects of the determination of dissolved oxygen
by controlled potential coulometry were investigated to find a means
of measuring the oxygen content of natural waters. Rapid
sampling techniques, simplicity of operation, and rugged structural
features were stressed. Cells were designed to operate by either
internal electrolysis or external...
