TL;DR: In this paper, a barley seedlings (Hordeum vulgare L. var. distichon ALEFELD) was purified to homogeneity as determined by disc gel electrophoresis.
Abstract: Oxalate oxidase from barley seedlings (Hordeum vulgare L. var. distichon ALEFELD) was purified to homogeneity as determined by disc gel electrophoresis. The enzyme hydrolyzed oxalate, but no other related acids. The optimum pH was around pH 3.5, and this enzyme was stable at acidic pHs. The enzyme appears to consist of two identical subunits. Various other properties were investigated.

TL;DR: A system for the determination of oxalic acid in human urine using ion exchange-ion pair, high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLCEC), and Quantitative data are obtained by the method of standard addition in the clinically significant range from 5 to 40 mg/liter.
Abstract: A system for the determination of oxalic acid in human urine using ion exchange-ion pair, high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLCEC) is described. Urine is acidified with HCl, and excess CaCl2 is added to precipitate oxalate ion. The precipitate is isolated, redissolved in dilute sulfuric acid, and separated on a strong cation exchange column using an acetic acid-solium acetate-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate mobile phase adjusted to pH 2.8. Using an electrochemical detector at 1.25 volts vs. the saturated calomel electrode (SCE), oxalic acid exhibits a linear dynamic range from 1 to 1000 mg/liter with a detection limit of 0.1 mg/liter. Quantitative data are obtained by the method of standard addition in the clinically significant range from 5 to 40 mg/liter. Percentage recovery for spiked urine samples was 97.8% with a relative standard deviation of 2.5%.

TL;DR: The method described is insensitive to various interfering factors, such as reducing and oxidizing substances, cloudy or colored samples, and therefore also suitable for oxalate determination in food technology and plant breeding.
Abstract: The oxalate content of urine is determined by means of oxalate oxidase and simple pH measurement. The enzyme specifically decarboxylates oxalate, producing two moles CO2 per mole oxalate. The CO2 diffuses into an alkaline buffer solution (Hallson, P. C. & Rose, G. A. (1974), Clin. Chim. Acta 55, 29--39) in the closed reaction vessel, and reduces the pH value, which is measured with an electrode. Only 125 microliter native urine is required to measure oxalate concentrations in the range of 80 mumol/l to 1.6 mmol/l (corresponding to 7 to 144 mg anhydrous oxalic acid per liter). The limit of detection is 10 nmol oxalate, and the accuracy is 101% with a coefficient of variation of 6%. The method described is insensitive to various interfering factors, such as reducing and oxidizing substances, cloudy or colored samples. It is therefore also suitable for oxalate determination in food technology and plant breeding.

TL;DR: A rapid gas chromatographic method has been developed which dispenses with separation operations and measures oxalic acid as a diethylester by means of back-flushing, and using malonic acid as an internal standard.
Abstract: The known methods of oxalic acid determination are not suitable for reliable, rapid and economical routine analysis. A rapid gas chromatographic method has been developed which dispenses with separation operations and measures oxalic acid as a diethylester by means of back-flushing, and using malonic acid as an internal standard. One determination can be conducted within 6 to 8 min. and preparation of the specimen takes about the same amount of time. If the gas chromatographic conditions are changed and more time is permitted for analysis, numerous other extractable acidic metabolites can also be determined.

Abstract: Oxalic acid determinations are made using two modes of electrochemical detection, namely, classical d.c. and differential pulse, after separation by ion-pair, ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography. Peak height ratio plots are constructed and compared for uric acid and oxalic acid mixtures using both electrochemical detection modes. The enhanced selectivity realized by use of the differential pulse electrochemical detection mode is demonstrated.

Abstract: The C,C-bond cleavage which occurs during chromic acid oxidation of t-butylphenylmethanol (1) and 1,2-diphenylethanol (2) to the extent of up to 67% is reduced to 3% for 1 and 13% for 2 when the reaction is run in acetone, and totally suppressed upon co-oxidation of the alcohols 1 and 2 with oxalic acid. Similarly, the yield of 7-norbornanone obtained from 7-norbornanol (7) is raised in going from acetic acid (24%) to acetone (41%) and approaches 100% in the co-oxidation. With the co-oxidation 5-endo-bicyclo [2.1.1]hexanol (3) is converted to the corresponding ketone in 54% yield. Mechanistic implications of these results are discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined cation-exchange separation method is described for the determination of cobalt in silicate rocks. But the method is not suitable for the analysis of complex matrices with high selectivity.
Abstract: A combined cation-exchange separation — atomic absorption spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of cobalt in silicate rocks. Silicate is decomposed with a mixture of perchloric acid — hydrofluoric acid. The residue is fed on a Bio-Rad AG 50W, X-8 resin (hydrogen form) column from 0.5 M hydrochloric acid — 0.05 M oxalic acid — 1.5% hydrogen peroxide solution. Polyvalent ions including ferric ions are not adsorbed on the column, while cobalt is retained together with alkaline earths and aluminium. Then, cobalt can be stripped selectively by elution with 1 M hydrochloric acid in 84% acetone solution and can subsequently be determined by AAS. The single column ion-exchange method described allows cobalt to be isolated from complicated matrices with good selectivity, sufficient enough to permit the final determination spectrophotometrically. Quantitative results are presented for the determination of cobalt in international rock standards and iron metal.
