The macroscopic and microscopic redox potentials of tetrahemoprotein, cytochrome c3 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris(Hildenborough) (DvH) were estimated from 1H NMR and differential pulse polarography(DPP). Five sets of NMR resonances were confirmed by a redox titration. They represent cytochrome c3 molecules in five macroscopic redox states. The electron transfer in cytochrome c3 involves four consecutive one-electron steps. The saturation transfer method was used to determine the chemical shifts of eight heme methyl resonances in five different oxidation states. Thirty two microscopic redox potentials were estimated. The results showed the presence of a strong positive interaction between a pair of particular hemes. Comparing the results with those of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki F (DvMF), it was observed that the two proteins resemble each other in overall redox pattern, but there is small difference in the relative redox potentials of four hemes.

Oxidation/reduction titrations are important quantitative procedures for many chemicals. Several widely used analytical methods for cosmetic ingredients are based on the redox reactions. In this article, we summarized basic theories of redox titration and applications. Determination of unsaturation properties based on iodine or bromine number, quantitation of hydrogen peroxide or peroxide materials in several cosmetic ingredients and measurement of titanium dioxide, widely used sunscreen agent, in cosmetics are discussed here.

Foundational experiments are conducted to examine the applicability of redox control in brak-point chlorination of ammonia on drinking water purification. Through the research, the behauial affects by ph and temperature to a chloromine forming reactions are evaluated. The possibility of redox control in breakpoint chlorination is recoguized by drawing up the titration curve in terms of redox potential and $C{\ell}_2$/N ratios.

A study on the application of impedance phase angle for redox titration, acid-base titration, chelate titration and precipitation titration has been carried out. A constant alternating current was passed between two platinum electrodes. One of them was a polarizable micro-electrode of $0.1cm^2$ or $0.026cm^2$ surface area and the other a non-polarizable large electrode of $1cm^2$ surface area dipped in the solution to be titrated. The impedance and the phase angle of the titration cell were measured with lock-in amplifier to obtain well behaved titration curve respectively. In titration of oxalic acid vs. potassium permanganate, the end-point was obtained successfully from the phase angle titration curve. In this experiment, the concentration of 0.0005 M to 0.05 M, the current of $50{\mu}A$ and the frequency of near 50 Hz were used. In titration of phosphoric acid vs. sodium hydroxide, the first end-point was obtained successfully on the optimum experimental condition of 0.001 M concentration, $50{\mu}A$ current and 25~97 Hz frequency. However, the end-point in titration of cupric sulfate vs. disodium-EDTA couldn't be obtained clearly. The end-point was obtained with the out-of-phase impedance curve on the experimental condition of 0.01 M concentration, $100{\mu}A$ current, 5~35 Hz frequency range. In titration of sodium chloride vs. silver nitrate, the end-point was obtained successfully on the experimental condition of 0.1 M concentration, $100{\mu}A$ current and 5~47 Hz frequency range. This study showed that the impedance phase angle was applicable for the detection of the end-points in redox titration curve, acid-base titration curve, chelate titration curve and precipitation titration curve.

The potentiometric end-point of redox titrations determined by nulling the second derivative of the titration curve by numerical differentiation method is analyzed by using an electronic digital computer. The error involved in the method is shown to be dependent on the location of the equivalence point in the titrant addition increment that encompasses the latter. The error increases as the equivalence point moves away from the mid-point of the increment toward a maximum value that is as great as a half of the increment. Therefore, when the numerical differentiation method is used to null the second derivative, the end-point should be compared with the steepest point of the titration curve or diluted titrant should be used in the vicinity of the end-point.

This experiment was carried out to determine non-destructively the hydrogen peroxide concentration of 3％ antiseptic hydrogen peroxide solutions by portable near-infrared (NIR) system. Hydrogen peroxide standards were prepared ranging from 0 to 25.6 w/w％ and the NIR spectra of hydrogen peroxide standard solutions were collected by using a quartz cell in 1 mm pathlength. We found the variation of absorbance band due to OH vibration of hydrogen peroxide depending on the concentration around 1400 nm in the second derivatives spectra. Partial least square regression (PLSR) and multilinear regression (MLR) were explored to develop a calibration model over the spectral range 1100-1720 nm. The model using PLSR was better than that using MLR. The calibration showed good results with a standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.16％. In order to validate the developed calibration model, routine analyses were performed using commercial antiseptic hydrogen peroxide solutions. The hydrogen peroxide values from the NIR calibration model were compared with the values from a redox titration method. The NIR routine analyses results showed good correlation with those of the redox titration method. This study showed that the rapid and non-destructive determination of hydrogen peroxide in the antiseptic solution was successfully performed by portable NIR system without very harmful solvents.

The p2H dependence of the NMR chemical shifts of the proton signals of heme methyl groups and ionizable groups in the vicinity of the heme were investigated. The p2H titration of heme methyl signals in four macroscopic oxidation states by saturation tranfer method was performed in the range between p2H 5.2 and 9.0. While the p2H dependence of the heme methyl resonance in fully oxidized state was small, most resonances in the intermediate oxidation states showed certain shifts. Particularly, methyl resonances of heme 1 (sequential heme numbering) exhibited sharp p2H dependence in acidic range. β-CH2 of the propionate of hemes 1 and 4 were titrated in the range of p2H 4.5-9.0. Only the 6-propionate group of heme 1 was protonated in this p2H range and its titration curve was similar to those of methyl resonances of heme 1 in intermediate oxidation states. Analysis of the microscopic redox potentials showed that they change depending on p2H. The ionizable groups responsible for the p2H dependence of these potentials are 6-propionate of heme 1 in acidic range and His 67 in basic range.

Peroxide values (PV) of fat from fallow up formula were determined using redox-potentiometric titration method and standard method, which is based on KI oxidation by hydroperoxides and volumetric titration of liberated iodine, and their uncertainties were compared. Uncertainty sources in measurement, such as sample weight, sodium thiosulfate concentration, and titer, were identified and used as parameters for combined standard uncertainty based on Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement and Draft EURACHEM/CITAC Guide. Analytical results and combined standard uncertainties of peroxide values (PV) determined by standard burette and potentiometric titrations were $2.05{\pm}0.17\;and\;1.96{\pm}0.07\;meq/kg$, respectively, suggesting potentiometric titration method is suitable for determining PV of fat with low PV, because uncertainty of PV determination obtained by potentiometric titration was lower than that obtained by burette titration.

Quasi-equilibrium profiles are analyzed through galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and potentiostatic intermittent titration technique (PITT) to study the charge/discharge mechanism in multicomponent olivine structure ($LiMn_{1/3}Fe_{1/3}Co_{1/3}PO_4$). From GITT data, the degree of polarization is evaluated for the three regions corresponding to the redox couples of $Mn^{2+}/Mn^{3+}$, $Fe^{2+}/Fe^{3+}$ and $Co^{2+}/Co^{3+}$. From PITT data, the current vs. time responses are examined in each titration step to find out the mode of lithium de-intercalation/intercalation process. Furthermore, lithium diffusivities at specific compositions (x in $Li_xMn_{1/3}Fe_{1/3}Co_{1/3}PO_4$) are also calculated. Finally, total capacity ($Q^{total}$) and diffusional capacity ($Q^{diff}$) are obtained for some selected voltage steps. The entire study consistently confirms that the charge/discharge mechanism of multicomponent olivine cathode is associated with a one-phase reaction rather than a biphasic reaction.

The IPA-co-HDO-co-(TPA/MA) copolymers for all-vanadium redox flow battery were synthesized by melt condensation polymerization using isophthalic acid(IPA), 1,6-hexandiol (HDO), terephthalic acid(TPA) and maleic anhydride(MA). The amination of chloromethylated IPA-co- HDO-co-(TPA/MA)(CIHTM) copolymer was carried out using trimethylamine, and the anion exchange membrane was also prepared by UV crosslinking reaction. The structure and thermal stability of IHTM copolymers were confirmed by FTIR, $^1H$ NMR, and TGA analysis. The anion membrane properties such as water uptake, ion exchange capacity, electric resistance and electrical conductivity, were measured by gravimetry, titration and LCR meter. The efficiency of the all-vanadium redox flow battery was analyzed. The ion exchange capacity, electric resistance and electrical conductivity were 1.10 meq/g, $1.98{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, and 0.009 S/cm, respectively. The efficiency of charge-discharge, voltage, and energy for the allvanadium redox flow battery were 96.5, 74.6, 70.0%, respectively.
