Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Spectrophotometric Method for Determination of Iron in Herbs, Spices and Beans with 2,6-Diacetylprydine Dioxime and 2-Acetylpyridine MonoximeZ. R. Komy, E. A. Abu-Gharib, A. DesokyThe reaction of iron (II) with 2, 6-diacetylprydine dioxime (H2dapd) and 2-acetylprydine monoxime (Hapm) in 10% and 60% v/v ethanol-water solution at pH 2.5 and 7.5, respectively, were studied using direct and first derivative spectrophotometry. Fe (III) is reduced by H2dapd and gives iron (II) complex. A simple, rapid, selective and sensitive method for the determination of Fe (II), Fe … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,960 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cathodically Charged Hydrogen on the Microhardness of Pure CopperGhazi S. AL-Marahleh, Amjad S. El-AmoushThe effect of hydrogen on the microhardness of pure copper was investigated after experiments conducted on specimens that hydrogen charged under different cathodic charging conditions. Microhardness measurements revealed that the introduction of hydrogen caused hardening on the surface of copper. The severity of the hardened region increased with either cathodic current density or charging time. Further charging increased the depth … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
