THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF ENZYME ELECTRODE:-

An enzyme electrode is the union of an enzyme, that biologic catalyst which acts sensitively and specifically with almost all organic and inorganic compounds in nature, with an

electronic sensor (an ion-selective electrode). The result is

an electrode that is useful for the assay of organic and inorganic compounds, in a manner as simple as a pH measurement with a glass electrode.

The principle of the enzyme electrode is simple: an enzyme is used which reacts with the compound to be assayed

either specifically or selectively. This enzyme, in an immobilized or insolubilized form, is placed onto a conventional ionselective electrode which measures either the decrease of one

of the reactants (i.e., O2 in the oxidation of uric acid or glucose) or a product (i.e., CO2 from an amino acid). The substance to be assayed diffuses into the layer of the enzyme in

the electrode, producing or consuming an electroactive substance; this is sensed by the base electrode. The potential or

current produced is a function of the concentration of the

substance assayed.

commercially available (or homemade) electrodes

have been used and can be used in construction of enzyme

electrodes: (1) glass electrodes-H+

and monovalent cation;

(2) gas-NH3, CO2)

and O2; (3) solid and "solid" liquid

membrane electrodes-NH4

, S~, CN~, and I"; and (4) Pt

electrodes.

Two basic techniques may be used in assay with enzyme

electrodes, kinetic and equilibrium. In the kinetic method,

the rate of change in the potential or current at the electrode

is measured, with the first 10-30 sec of response. This

change, AE or Ai/At, is then related to the content of substance to be assayed. In the equilibrium method, the steadystate current or potential, i or E, is measured and related to

the concentration. This relationship is logarithmic in the

case of potential (E) and linear in the case of current (i). The

rate method is faster and eliminates the possibility of error

due to side reactions that may consume the electroactive

substance.

What is electrode angle in welding?

The electrode angle in welding refers to the position of the electrode relative to the workpiece and is crucial for achieving effective weld penetration and bead shape. It typically includes the work angle (the angle between the electrode and the surface of the workpiece) and the travel angle (the angle between the electrode and the direction of travel). Proper electrode angle helps control the heat input and the weld pool's characteristics, influencing the quality and strength of the weld. Adjusting these angles can optimize the welding process for different materials and joint configurations.


Which dc electrical polarity DCEN or DCEP requires a larger electrode diameter and why?

Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) typically requires a larger electrode diameter compared to Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP). This is because DCEN focuses more heat on the workpiece, leading to deeper penetration, but it can also result in increased wear on the electrode. A larger diameter helps sustain the required current and thermal stability, ensuring effective welding without excessive electrode consumption. DCEP, on the other hand, tends to work with smaller diameters as it provides better arc stability and less heat concentration on the electrode.

Distance of earth electrode from building?

The distance of an earth electrode from a building typically depends on the design of the grounding system. As a general guideline, the electrode should be placed at a distance where it can effectively dissipate electrical charges and provide a low-resistance path to ground. This distance may vary depending on factors such as soil resistivity, building size, and electrical system requirements. Consulting relevant standards and regulations can help determine the appropriate distance for a specific application.


What is redox mediator?

A redox mediator is a hyperbranched polymer having redox moieties (e.g. ferrocene) incorporated into its structure and/or chemically bonded to its periphery. It is attached to an electrode and assists in transferring electrons between the electrode and a redox enzyme.

What is the calculating formula of soderberg electrode in submerged arc furnace?

The Soderberg electrode in a submerged arc furnace is characterized by a self-baking design that utilizes a mixture of petroleum coke and coal tar pitch. The typical formula for calculating the resistance of the Soderberg electrode can be expressed as ( R = \frac{\rho L}{A} ), where ( R ) is the resistance, ( \rho ) is the resistivity of the electrode material, ( L ) is the length of the electrode, and ( A ) is the cross-sectional area. The efficiency and performance also depend on factors such as current density and temperature, which influence the electrode's electrical and thermal properties.
