Discussion of a Master’s Thesis
The Department of Chemistry at the College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Kerbala discussed a master’s thesis entitled (Spectral estimation and flow injection of copper(II) and nickel(II) by a new detector N”-[(3-methylthiophen-2-yl) methylidene] thiocarbonohydrazide) by the student (Sahar Hashim Khadir Abbas), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. (Sajid Hassan Kazar).
The thesis aimed to prepare and characterize the new (MTMTCH) detector using two different analytical techniques. And to determine the copper ion and nickel ion (II) by ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy using the detector, detection limit, specific quantification limit, molar absorption, Sandel sensitivity, selectivity, average recovery and constructing calibration curves for the proposed spectroscopic methods.
The thesis recommended the laboratory preparation of the detector (MTMTCH) with a melting point (233-235) and good stability. It can be used to estimate copper and nickel in a simple, rapid and sensitive spectroscopic manner. The design of an integrated flow injection system with simple capabilities and high efficiency in operation and does not require complex devices. The newly designed injection valve and the entire FIA system have proven their high efficiency. The student received an excellent grade.
