Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV), Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry (CSV), and Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry (AdSV) are electrochemical techniques used to determine trace amounts of analytes in solution. These methods involve applying a potential to an electrode and measuring the resulting current. Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) ASV is used to determine metals and metalloids at trace levels. It involves two steps: deposition and stripping. First, a negative potential is applied to the...

This protocol describes the development of two IgG class monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) strongly reactive to myoglobin of cetaceans. These mAbs are applied on a colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip based on the sandwich format to differentiate the Mb of cetaceans from seal and other animals.
FAQs
Ammonia stripping relies on the ammonium–ammonia equilibrium. At higher pH, a larger share of dissolved ammonia exists as volatile, un-ionized NH3 rather than ammonium. That shift makes the compound more available for transfer into the passing gas phase, so pH directly influences removal efficiency overall.
Temperature, airflow, and contact time influence how effectively ammonia moves from water into the gas stream. Together with the contacting equipment, these variables control gas–liquid mass transfer, the exchange process between phases. Evaluating them helps explain why identical water chemistry can produce different stripping performance under different operating conditions.
Packed towers and other contacting equipment determine how water and the passing gas interact. Their design affects the available conditions for gas–liquid mass transfer, while contact time and airflow also influence performance. This engineering context matters because equilibrium alone does not describe the process; ammonia must also move between phases.
An operating sequence begins by establishing alkaline conditions in the water, then contacting the water with air or steam. The gas carries transferred ammonia away as the phases interact. Operators can then assess performance through the resulting separation, while adjusting pH, airflow, temperature, contact time, or equipment design to optimize conditions.
It is applied to wastewater treatment, industrial effluent management, and recovery of ammonia from concentrated streams. These settings differ in purpose: water may require ammonia removal, whereas a concentrated stream may make recovery a relevant objective. In each case, process conditions determine how effectively the dissolved compound is separated.
The chemistry sets the proportion of dissolved ammonia present as volatile NH3, while transport determines how that form leaves the water. Effective operation therefore requires both a favorable ammonium–ammonia equilibrium and sufficient gas–liquid contact. This combined perspective helps explain why changing pH alone may not determine the final separation outcome.
