Abstract:
Density gradient ultracentrifuge separation has been employed as a process-analysis microsystem combining a microreactor and a separator. As a paradigm, intermediates formed after tens of seconds in the galvanic replacement of Ag nanoplates in high concentrated AuCl(4)(-) solution are captured, providing evidence of the mechanism of the reaction, which is difficult to obtain in other ways.

Electrogravimetric Analysis: Overview
Electrogravimetric analysis measures the weight of an analyte deposited electrolytically onto a suitable working electrode. This method involves applying a potential to a pre-weighed electrode submerged in a solution, which results in the desired substance being deposited through reduction at the cathode or oxidation at the anode. The electrode's weight is recorded after deposition, and the difference in weight gives the analyte's weight in the solution.

Centrifugation
Centrifugation is a separation technique based on differences in density or size. It is commonly used to separate solids from aqueous interferents. During centrifugation, the sample is placed in centrifugation tubes and spun at high angular velocity, which allows centrifugal force to act differentially on the different densities or masses of the components. After spinning, the supernatant liquid is decanted. Depending on the specific application, either the pellet or the supernatant is retained...
