The influence of collecting substrates on the single-particle characterization of real atmospheric aerosols

This work investigated the influence of three different collecting substrate materials, Ag and Al foils and grids for transmission electron microscopy (TEM grid), on the morphological and chemical compositional analysis of individual particles collected at an underground shopping area in Seoul, Korea. The feasibility of using each substrate in a quantitative single-particle analysis was evaluated by comparing particle morphologies, X-ray spectra, and elemental quantification results obtained for the three substrates. The morphologies and the quality of X-ray spectra for crystalline mineral particles were very similar among the three substrates. However, water-soluble, CNO-rich aerosols showed different morphologies among the three substrates, mainly due to the differences in the hygroscopic properties of the substrates. The quality of the X-ray spectra of the CNO-rich particles was optimal when collected on the TEM grid. To reliably assess the characteristic X-rays of the CNO-rich particles collected on the Ag and Al foils, appropriate data analysis had to be applied. Especially, the X-ray spectra of the CNO-rich particles collected on Al foil required a new background subtraction procedure. The overall relative abundances of the chemical species, obtained from the three collecting substrates, were in good agreement with each other and single-particle characterization of the real aerosol sample was feasible on the different substrates. However, the TEM grid substrate was the most appropriate for single-particle analysis of the water-soluble CNO-rich particles as: (i) it retains the original morphology and size of the particles, (ii) it allows high contrast in the backscattered electron image (BSEI) mode, and (iii) it provides a high peak-to-background ratio (P/B) with small and correctable interferences in the X-ray spectra.

Preparation and Molecular Structure of (SCZ)(TNPG)·2H2O

The (SCZ)(TNPG)·2H2O prepared by mixing semicarbazide (SCZ) and trinitrophloroglucinol (TNPG) was characterized by elemental analysis and IR measurement, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis.The crystal belongs to triclinic,0.93966(19), c = 1.1925(2) nm, α = 67.48(3), β = 77.56(3), γ = 78.93(3)°, V = 0.6908(2) nm3, Z = 2,Dc = 1.789 g/cm3, Mr = 373.23, F(000) = 384, S = 0.999 andt(MoKα) = 0.172 mm-1.The final R and wR are 0.0394 and 0.1057 for 1724 observed reflections with I ＞ 2σ(I).It is concluded that (SCZ)(TNPG) 2H2O is an ionic compound composed of a cation SCZ+, an anion TNPG- and two water molecules.The TNPG anion and SCZ+ cation are bonded together by electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonds, and the compound structure is stable.The thermal decomposition of (SCZ)(TNPG) 2H2O was studied by using TG-DTG and DSC techniques with a heating rate of 10 ℃/min, showing the compound contains one endothermic process of dehydrating stage and two intensive exothermic decomposition stages.The enthalpy of exothermic decomposition reaction is 452.31 kJ/mol.     

Effect of temperature on crystallite size of hydroxyapatite powders obtained by wet precipitation process

In this investigation, HAp powders were synthesized using the wet chemical precipitation technique. The temperature of the heat treatment (80 °C, 120 °C, and 160 °C) and the addition of glutamic acid were the considered process parameters. After the reaction between the precursors calcium nitrate [Ca(NO₃)₂] and ammonium phosphate [(NH₄)H₂PO₄], decantation of the residue, drying, and finally, heat treatment of the residue were done sequentially. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis were carried out to characterize the synthesized HAp powders. It was found that at a high heat treatment temperature plus the addition of glutamic acid are suitable process parameters to acquire uniform HAp powders with plate morphology and fibers with an average particle size of ～100–200 µm. The Ca/P ratio obtained was like the hydroxyapatite present in the bones in the order of 1.72. This situation can be indicated as an essential advantage in the biocompatibility of the synthesized material. The use of glutamic acid suggests crystal growth in a preferential direction as reported in our previous work. The manufacture of hydroxyapatite, especially in powder, is of great interest in developing additive manufacturing systems for the biomedical market.     

Preparation of New Layered Double Hydroxide,Co-TiLDH

Layer double hydroxide (LDH) is well known for its ability to intercalate anionic compounds. Most popular LDH is prepared only conventionally with bivalent and trivalent cations. In this study, Co-Ti LDH consisting of bivalent and tetravalent cations was prepared and characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, thermal analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The experimental results indicate that the ageing procedure plays a vital role in the formation of Co-Ti LDH. The insertion of a cyanate anion into LDH was confirmed by chemical analysis and IR spectra. XRD patterns of the prepared LDH (Co-Ti-CNO) showed that the interlayer spacing of the LDH was 0.79 nm. The spacing was similar to that of usual LDH in which chloride or bromide anion is the guest. SEM images show that the morphology of Co-Ti LDH was a plate-like structure or a fibrous structure depending on the preparation conditions.This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected issue number.

Preparation of tissue samples for X-ray fluorescence microscopy

As is well-known, trace elements, especially metals, play an important role in the pathogenesis of many disorders. The topographic and quantitative elemental analysis of pathologically changed tissues may shed some new light on processes leading to the degeneration of cells in the case of selected diseases. An ideal and powerful tool for such purpose is the Synchrotron Microbeam X-ray Fluorescence technique. It enables the carrying out of investigations of the elemental composition of tissues even at the single cell level.

The tissue samples for histopathological investigations are routinely fixed and embedded in paraffin. The authors try to verify the usefulness of such prepared tissue sections for elemental analysis with the use of X-ray fluorescence microscopy. Studies were performed on rat brain samples. Changes in elemental composition caused by fixation in formalin or paraformaldehyde and embedding in paraffin were examined.

Measurements were carried out at the bending magnet beamline L of the Hamburger Synchrotronstrahlungslabor HASYLAB in Hamburg.

The decrease in mass per unit area of K, Br and the increase in P, S, Fe, Cu and Zn in the tissue were observed as a result of the fixation. For the samples embedded in paraffin, a lower level of most elements was observed. Additionally, for these samples, changes in the composition of some elements were not uniform for different analyzed areas of rat brain.     

Automation and Standardization—A Coupled Approach towards Reproducible Sample Preparation Protocols for Nanomaterial Analysis

Whereas the characterization of nanomaterials using different analytical techniques is often highly automated and standardized, the sample preparation that precedes it causes a bottleneck in nanomaterial analysis as it is performed manually. Usually, this pretreatment depends on the skills and experience of the analysts. Furthermore, adequate reporting of the sample preparation is often missing. In this overview, some solutions for techniques widely used in nano-analytics to overcome this problem are discussed. Two examples of sample preparation optimization by automation are presented, which demonstrate that this approach is leading to increased analytical confidence. Our first example is motivated by the need to exclude human bias and focuses on the development of automation in sample introduction. To this end, a robotic system has been developed, which can prepare stable and homogeneous nanomaterial suspensions amenable to a variety of well-established analytical methods, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), field-flow fractionation (FFF) or single-particle inductively coupled mass spectrometry (sp-ICP-MS). Our second example addresses biological samples, such as cells exposed to nanomaterials, which are still challenging for reliable analysis. An air–liquid interface has been developed for the exposure of biological samples to nanomaterial-containing aerosols. The system exposes transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids under reproducible conditions, whilst also allowing characterization of aerosol composition with mass spectrometry. Such an approach enables correlative measurements combining biological with physicochemical analysis. These case studies demonstrate that standardization and automation of sample preparation setups, combined with appropriate measurement processes and data reduction are crucial steps towards more reliable and reproducible data.

A new particle mounting method for surface analysis

The chemical analysis of microparticles is challenging due to the need to mount the particles on a substrate for analysis; double-sided adhesive tape is often used (sometimes conductive), however that is usually coated with poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) that is often used as a release agent. PDMS is a common surface contamination that can mask surface chemistries and hinder material performance where it is dependent on this contaminated interface. It is known that PDMS contains a very mobile oligomeric fraction that readily diffuses across surfaces resulting in the contamination of mounted particulate samples before and during surface chemistry analysis. This makes it impossible to determine whether the PDMS has arisen from the analysis procedure or from the sample itself. A new sample preparation method is proposed where polymer microparticles are mounted on a poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) polymer solution, which we compare with particles that have been mounted on adhesive discs using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and 3D OrbiSIMS analysis. Particles mounted on the pHEMA substrate results in a reduction of PDMS signal by 99.8% compared with microparticles mounted on adhesive discs. This illustrates how a simple, quick and inexpensive polymer solution can be used to adhere particles for analysis by ToF-SIMS, or other surface chemical analysis techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), without introduction of large amounts of silicone contaminant.

Multi-Functionalization of Vanadylorgano-phosphonate Through Intercalation

The intercalation of various kinds of alcohols into vanadyl-organophosphate powder is investigated mainly by elementary analysis and X-ray diffraction measurement. Not only a series of fatty alcohols but also benzylalcohol derivatives are almost quantitatively intercalated with reasonable relationships between the size of the intercalators and the increasing layer spacing. Another useful preparative method for the host thin film is developed by electrochemical treatment of a conventional V₂O₅ thin film.

Detection and visualisation of elemental components in various ambient species by synchrotron microbeam technique

This study introduces the application of the synchrotron radiation induced X-ray fluorescence (SR-XRF) microprobe installed at the Super Photon ring-8 GeV (SPring-8), which is the world's largest third-generation synchrotron radiation facility, to the specification of chemical properties of various atmospheric samples. The combination of visual elemental mapping and XRF spectral analyses allows for the interpretation of the nature and composition of individual particles. Individually collected droplets by the replication technique were also irradiated by X-ray microbeam to carry out visual reconstruction of elemental maps for their multiple components. The multielemental peaks corresponding to X-ray energy were also successfully resolved. Because the chemical contents of solute for individual droplets can be definitely clarified in this study, we can describe the mechanisms involved in droplet formation and pollutant scavenging. The point analysis of sand dust collected from the local desert in China confirmed that the fine fragments of sand, which may be lifted and transported over a long distance, are considerably inhomogeneous in elemental component.
