We propose a simple experimental procedure based on the cloud point measurement of a non-ionic surfactant as a tool for (i) estimating the super-chaotropic behaviour of polyoxometalates (POMs) and for (ii) establishing a classification of POMs according to their affinity towards polar surfaces.

Cloud Point Extraction (CPE) as an effective method for pre-concentration and separation of cadmium from aqueous solution is widely utilized. This study involves a surfactant mediated CPE procedure in order to remove cadmium from waste water using Polythiophene nanoparticle and Triton X- 100 as a non – ionic surfactant. Polythiophene – coated iron nanoparticles was successfully synthesized with novel method and as a super magnetic nano-particles (MNPs) for cadmium removal from aqueous solution was evaluated. Polythophene nano-particles emulsifying method have been synthesized and fabricated. Fabricated nano-particle was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and analysed transmission electron microscopy (SEM). Effects of pH, buffer volume, extraction time, temperature, amount of nano-particle were essentially investigated. To reach in optimum conditions, related experiments were replicated and accomplished as well. For removal of cadmium by CPE approach the optimization conditions were gained at pH = 7 , volume of buffer acid 1.5 millilitre , electrolyte concentration (NaCl) of 10 -3 mole L-1 , Trinton concentration 5 %, cloud point temperature 80 0 C , extraction time 40 minutes, and 5 mg of modified polythiophene nano-particle. The calibration graph was liner with a correlation coefficient of 0. 9984 and represents appropriate liner correlation with an amount and concentration. The results revealed that 5 gram of modified nanoparticle can significantly increase the efficiency of cadmium removal.

We pose the following question: If a physical experiment were to be completely controlled by an algorithm, what effect would the algorithm have on the physical measurements made possible by the experiment?In a programme to study the nature of computation possible by physical systems, and by algorithms coupled with physical systems, we have begun to analyse: (i)the algorithmic nature of experimental procedures; and(ii)the idea of using a physical experiment as an oracle to Turing Machines. To answer the question, we will extend our theory of experimental oracles so that we can use Turing machines to model the experimental procedures that govern the conduct of physical experiments. First, we specify an experiment that measures mass via collisions in Newtonian dynamics and examine its properties in preparation for its use as an oracle. We begin the classification of the computational power of polynomial time Turing machines with this experimental oracle using non-uniform complexity classes. Second, we show that modelling an experimenter and experimental procedure algorithmically imposes a limit on what can be measured using equipment. Indeed, the theorems suggest a new form of uncertainty principle for our knowledge of physical quantities measured in simple physical experiments. We argue that the results established here are representative of a huge class of experiments.

Optimum Extraction

A simple, sensitive, quick, easy and efficient (SSQuEE) analytical technique based on cloud point extraction (CPE) has been developed for the determination of different pesticides present in soil and water with high performance liquid chromatography separation and ultraviolet detection. The environmentally friendliness surfactant like Triton X -100, compared to Tween series of non-ionic surfactant can effectively extract imidacloprid (insecticide), flusilazole (fungicide) and atrazine (herbicide) at cloud point temperature at 67 ºC, 82 ºC and 62 ºC, respectively. To reach the optimum extraction efficiency, different experimental parameters like surfactant concentration, salt type and its concentration, equilibrium time and temperature, pH were observed. At the optimum conditions, linear regression coefficient of the standard curves was greater than 0.9924. The limit of detection of imidacloprid, flusilazole and atrazine were 0.10 μg L-1, 0.24 μg L-1, 0.15 μg L-1 and recovery percent are 99.71 %, 88.1% and 89.74%, respectively.
