Nitrate Anion Sensors: Their Applications and a Case Study of Their Status in Waste Water from Selected Areas of Coastal Guyana via a Spectrophotometric Method

摘要: It is not an easy task to synthesize nitrate anion selective sensors considering that a trigonally shaped, heavy solvated, has weak basicity and difficult form robust hydrogen bonds with ligands. In addition, coordination aspect of supramolecular chemistry. Many receptors reported date are halide selective, but few selective. Nitrate synthesized include polyammonium, amide urea amongst others. one instance the association constant receptor showing highest degree complexation be K = 110M− 1 in 50% DMSO-d6/CDCl3 20M− 100% DMSO-d6 respectively. Globally, presence anions water beyond threshold limit can deleterious both flora fauna life. Guyana’s waste domestic needs monitoring assess concentration toxic cations. High levels induce “blue baby” syndrome other effects. One this chapter focuses on determination from twelve selected areas coastal Guyana using ultraviolet spectrophotometric method. Areas monitored were 58 Livelihood Village, Rose Hall Town, Skeldon GUYSUCO Estate, Good Hope, Ogle, Stabroek, Parika, Supenaam, Spring Garden instance. another research endeavor, Georgetown Seawall Kingston, LBI, Estate Canje river at 20 40ft effluent monitored. The results showed concentrations nitrates as high expected below internationally accepted values. first instance, average was measured 0.030 mg/L (± 0.039 mg/L), 0.064 0.00292 0.203 0.00738 1.772 0.00 2.363 0.839mg/L), 0.33 0.156 0.168 0.043mg/L), 0.142 0.043 mg/L) 0.178 second 0.45 0.01 0.0033mg/L) 0.015 0.0023 NO3- for (Kingston area), LBI river, feet 95% confidence level statistical analyses.
