The gel, transformed from the aqueous solution of metal nitrate and citric acid, can be combusted completely at lower temperature. The redox behavior and the crystallization process of the dried gel were studied by thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, rare earth elements ion-selective electrodes based on acetyl cellulose were prepared using ultra fine cerium oxide powders.展开更多

The changes in NO3- concentration of the solutions were determined by the double ion-selective electrode method, and then the amount of NO3- taken up by the plants was estimated and values of Km and Imax of the Michealis-Menten equation were calculated. Results show that both the method and conditions of determination affected the values of Km and Imax. For example, the Km value was appreciably reduced when the volume of culture solution was increased or when the duration of nutrient uptake was shortened; the Km value obtained with short-term depletion method was higher than that obtained with long-term one. Similar Variations were found for the values of Imax. There was a considerable difference in the characteristics of uptake kinetics between wheat and rape when determined under the same conditions of determination. The isotherm of NO3- uptake by wheat could be separated into saturated and unsaturated parts, and when the concentration of NO3- exceeded 180 uuuuuuuuuuuuM, the relationship between the rate of NO3- uptake and NO3- concentration tended to be linear. However, the isotherm of NO3- uptake by rape was found to fit the Michealis-Menten equation and no linear relationship could be found.展开更多

It has been applied to the determination of streptomycin. The sensitivity and accuracy have been increased significantly. A theoretical model for the error of determination using the MCCS has been suggested and proved experimentally using the Monte Carlo method, and the error model proposed in Ref. [1] revised.展开更多
