Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Equipment
CONT

... the polymer matrix provides the enzyme with a microenvironment which may differ in many respects(e. g. pH, substrate concentration) from the solvent in which the immobilized enzyme is suspended.... An interesting proposed analytical application is the use of enzymes as "molecular probes" for determining the microenvironment of supports(water-soluble or water-insoluble). Because an immobilized enzyme will behave in accordance with its local environment, a determination of specific enzymic properties(usually activity) can reveal the nature of its immediate environment.

DEF

Determination of the hydrogen-ion concentration in an ionized solution by means of an indicator solution(such as phenol phthalein) or a pH meter.

CONT

The two general methods available for the determination of hydrogen-ion activity and the pH values of solutions are the potentiometric procedures and the calorimetric procedures.... At the present time the glass electrode, in combination with reference electrodes, is the cell most used for pH measurements.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

The two general methods available for the determination of hydrogen-ion activities and the pH values of solutions are the potentiometric procedures and the colorimetric procedures.... Colorimetric procedures are based on the fact that definite hydrogen-ion concentrations give definite shades of color to solutions of various organic substances termed acid-base indicators.

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
CONT

La détermination expérimentale du pH [...] s'effectue principalement : 1) par la méthode colorimétrique, rapide mais relativement peu précise; elle est fondée sur l'observation de la teinte prise dans la solution par un indicateur coloré dont la zone de virage comprend le pH cherché; 2) par la méthode électrométrique, précise mais nécessitant un matériel plus important; [...]

  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

In textile (wool, cotton, etc.) testing, a solution used to dissolve soluble materials.

CONT

Textiles-Determination of pH of the aqueous extract. The pH of the aqueous extract of the textiles affords a useful index to its processing history... it is becoming more common to demand that textile, in its various forms, shall conform to certain limits in respect of its acidity or alkalinity, often expressed in terms of pH values of aqueous extract... This International Standard specifies a method for determining the pH values of the aqueous extract of textiles. The method is applicable to textile in any form(fibres, yarns, fabrics, etc.).

CONT

A highly refined aqueous extract ... hydrolyzed and concentrated. Completely free of insoluble fiber and cellulose. Represents the soluble active principle ... hydrolyzed for greater solubility and enhanced activity.

CONT

Textiles - Détermination du pH de l'extrait aqueux. La valeur du pH de l'extrait aqueux d'un textile constitue une indication très utile sur l'histoire des traitements subis par celui-ci. En outre, il devient plus courant d'exiger que le textile, sous ses différentes formes, satisfasse à certaines limites d'acidité ou d'alcalinité, lesquelles sont souvent exprimées sous forme du pH de l'extrait aqueux. La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode de détermination de la valeur du pH de l'extrait aqueux des textiles. La méthode est applicable aux textiles sous toutes formes (fibres, fils, étoffes, etc.).

OBS

Aqueux, euse : Se dit d'une solution dont le solvant est l'eau.
