I. Reactive Blue 19 wastewater by electrochemical oxidation via electrogenerated active chlorine, using metallic oxide coatings （dimensional stable anode, DSA） as anode. The electrolysis for the simulated wastewater was conducted at a constant current. Absorbances at 592 nm and 255 nm were measured to follow the decolorization of the dye and the degradatin of its aromatic ring. After 4 h of electrolysis under the experimental conditions： current density of 15 A·m^-2, 0.2 mol·L^-1 NaCl, 0.1 mol·L^-1 Na2SO4, 0.1 mmol·L^-1 dye, initial pH=6.4 and T=30℃, 100% decolorization of the dye and about 45% degradation of its aromatic ring were achieved, while no obvious change of total organic carbon was observed. The experimental results suggest that the decolorization of the dye and degradation of its aromatic ring were directly affected by current density, temperature, concentrations of the dye and sodium chloride, while slightly affected by initial pH and sodium sulfate concentration; the decolorization of the dye and degradation of its aromatic ring followed pseudo-first-order kinetics; and indirect electrooxidation, using electrogenerated active chlorine, predominated in the electrochemical oxidation.展开更多

In this case, the core-shell luminol-based SiO2 nanoparticles offered more potential to avoid the contradiction between the EC and the CL reaction conditions. A new ECL method based on the nanoparticle was developed, and isoniazid was selected as a model analyte to illustrate the characteristics of this new ECL method. Under the selected conditions, the proposed ECL response to isoniazid concentration was linear in the range of 1.0 ×10^-10 to 1.0 × 10^-6 g/mL with 2 × 10^-11g/mL detection limit.展开更多

Thrombin binding aptamers served as the molecular recognition elements and ruthenium bis（2,2＇-bipyridine） （2,2＇-bipyridine-4,4＇-dicarboxylic acid）-ethylenediamine （Rul） was used as an ECL signal complex. Novel electroactive polymers poly（pyrrole-co-pyr- role propylic acid） nanoparticles （Ppy-pa NPs） were synthesized by a simple alcohol-assisted microemulsion polymerization. Rul-Ppy-pa NPs were synthesized by covalently coupling Rul with the Ppy-pa NPs. Ppy-pa NPs and Rul-Ppy-pa NPs were characterized using a fourier transform infrared spectrometer, super-conducting fourier digital NMR spectrometer, and trans- mission electron microscope. One ECL chemical sensor fabricated by immobilizing the Rul-Ppy-pa NPs on PIGE was developed for the determination of TprA with a high sensitivity and stability. The ECL aptasensor was fabricated by covalenfly coupling the thrombin binding aptamer-I （TBA-I） onto the surface of the paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode, which had been covalently modified with a monolayer of 4-aminobenzene sulfonic acid via electrochemical oxidations, for capturing thrombin onto the electrode and then the TBA-II labeled with Rul-Ppy-pa NPs was bound with epitope of thrombin. The ECL aptasensot showed an extremely low detection limit of 3.0×10^-16 mol/L for thrombin and a good selectivity. This work demonstrated that using Ppy-pa NPs as a carrier of ruthenium complex and molecular recognition element was a promising approach for the fabrication of ECL biosensor with high sensitivity.展开更多
