We report a novel derivatization chemistry for determination of fluoride based on the batch reaction of fluoride ions with triethyloxonium tetrachloroferrate(III) in a closed vessel to yield fluoroethane. Gaseous fluoroethane was readily separated from the matrix, sampled from the headspace, and determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The method was validated using rainwater certified reference material (IRMM CA408) and subsequently applied to the determination of fluoride in various matrixes, including tap water, seawater, and urine. An instrumental limit of detection of 3.2 μg/L with a linear range up to 50 mg/L was achieved. The proposed derivatization is a one-step reaction, requires no organic solvents, and is safe, as the derivatizing agent is nonvolatile. Determination of fluoride is affected by common fluoride-complexing agents, such as Al(III) and Fe(III). The effect of large amounts of these interferences was studied, and the adverse effect of these ions was eliminated by use of the method of standard additions.

CQHC, a novel colorimetric fluorescent sensor, developed for the selective sensing of ions and well characterised, including SC-XRD. It demonstrated selective sensing for Co, Zn, Hg and F using absorbance titration at 420 nm, 446 nm and the binding constants estimated follows the order F > Co > Hg > Zn. On light of this, molecular logic gate was built for CQHC's selective multi-ion detection.

Introduction In their routine practice, dentists frequently encounter dentinal hypersensitivity, which is caused by the pulpal nerves' increased excitability due to fluid movement in the dentinal tubules. It is treated in-office using dentin desensitizers, which reduce hypersensitivity by obstructing the open tubules or desensitizing the free nerve endings present within the tubules. However, no substance or treatment plan has ever been proven to be the gold standard for the efficient treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.

This study considered the effects of fluoride, MgO, sucrose, and rGO on the characteristics of the fluoride-carbon-MgO/rGO predicted (F-C-MgO/rGOP) catalyst and its effectiveness in the catalytic ozonation process (COP) for atrazine elimination from aqueous solutions. Using a mixture design, the catalyst composition was optimized to 13.6% sucrose, 50% Mg (OH)2, 25% NaF, and 11.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of dentifrices containing Nano silver fluoride (NSF) against the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which causes tooth decay.
  • Researchers synthesized NSF particles and created dentifrices with varying concentrations of NSF, assessing their antimicrobial properties using an agar diffusion method and cytotoxicity on mouse macrophage cells.
  • Results showed that NSF dentifrices inhibited bacterial growth effectively while also evaluating their impact on cell viability to ensure safety for use in oral health products.
