A Critical Review on Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis
Neeraj R Prasad * 1 Anil A Powar 1 Rutikesh P Gurav 1 S R Dodla 1 Sharad Kamble 1 B B Vhankhande 1 Saurabh R Prasad 2

Instrumental methods of chemical analysis have revolutionized modern analytical science by providing rapid, precise, and highly sensitive techniques for qualitative and quantitative determination of chemical substances. Unlike traditional wet chemical methods, these techniques rely on physical and physicochemical properties such as light absorption, electrical potential, conductivity, and emission intensity to obtain accurate results. This review highlights the fundamental principles,…

Metals such as Zinc (Zn) have been released into the atmosphere due to rapid industrial development. In this study, dry watermelon rind was used as a low-cost adsorbent to assess the removal of Zinc ions (Zn2+) from aqueous media. Watermelon rind was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). According to the qualitative…

Determination of the Levels of Chloramphenicol (CAP) and Tetracycline (TTC) Residues in Fresh and Fried Curdled Milk Collected From Ojo Market in Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria Using HPLC-UV
Prof. Adewuyi Olufemi Gregory * 1 Dosunmu Olufemi Michael 2

Antibiotics are substances that can be produced by a particular microorganism or synthesized either through synthetic or semi-synthetic processes, thereby inhibiting the development of alternatives. Microorganisms are essential bioactive and chemotherapeutic classes of compounds used for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals. In veterinary medicines, antibiotics are generally used to improve or maintain the health of animals.

The aim of this…

Iodometry and UV Spectrophotometry Determination of Iodine in Some Selected Salt Samples and Freshly Harvested Fish Samples
Fatunsin O. T * 1 Dosunmu O. M 1 Fasanya F. O 1

Iodine is a chemical element with the symbol I and atomic number 53. It is a micro nutrient required for proper functioning of the vertebrate endocrine system and plays similar roles in numerous other organisms. The recommended daily intake by WHO-UNICEF is between 90 mg/kg to 250 mg/kg in adults. The aim of the work is to determine the Iodine concentration in selected freshly harvested fish species namely Sole fish (Solea Solea), White Catfish (Ameiurus Catus), Croaker fish (Scianidae) and…
