电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)法是目前最常用测定分散元素铼的分析手段,其样品前处理方式有酸溶、半溶法。综合比较目前常用的三种溶样方法:氧化镁半溶法、密闭酸溶法、四酸(硝酸、氢氟酸、高氯酸、盐酸)敞开+强氧化剂法,从数据准确度、称样量、样品分解程度、引入杂质、溶解时间、操作过程等方面综合考察方法的适用性,并探讨了铼的不同三种伴生矿物对结果的影响。结果表明,氧化镁半溶法准确度高,适合低含量样品的测定,但过程复杂,不适合大批量的样品;密闭酸溶法适合高含量样品测定;四酸敞开+强氧化剂法操作简单,溶矿时间较短,但因采用了高沸点酸高氯酸,使结果偏低。     

The effect of sample preparation on metal determination in soil by FAAS

Different methods for the determination of several metals in soils by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) were investigated. Different procedures for total dissolution of soil: I – HF+HClO₄, H₃BO₃, HCl digestion (conventional heating), II – HF+HClO₄, H₃BO₃ digestion followed by fusion with LiBO₂ (conventional heating) and III – HF+HCl+HNO₃, H₃BO₃ digestion (microwave heating), as well as a leaching procedure with HNO₃+HClO₄, HCl were tested and compared. For quality assessment, the certified reference material S-1 soil was used. For most of the investigated metals, the best accuracy and precision were achieved when the procedure I or III were used. The developed procedure was applied to the analysis of soil samples from crude oil refinery and dump of petroleum origin wastes regions.     

Comparison of Some Computational Methods for Geometry Optimisation of Phosphorus Acid Derivatives

Several economical methods for geometry optimization, that should be applicable to larger molecules, have been evaluated for 19 phosphorus acid derivatives. MP2/cc-pVDZ geometry optimizations are used as reference points and the geometries obtained from the other methods are evaluated with respect to deviations in bond lengths and angles, from the reference geometries. The geometry optimization methods are also compared to the much used B3LYP/6-31G(d) method. Single point energies obtained by subsequent EDF1/6-31+G(d) or B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) calculations on the respective equilibrium geometries are also reported relative to the energies obtained from the reference geometries. The geometries from HF/MIDI! optimizations were closer to those of the references than the geometries of the HF/3-21G(d), HF/6-31G(d), and B3LYP/MIDI! optimizations. The EDF1/6-31+G(d) or B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) single point energies obtained from the HF/3-21G(d), HF/6-31G(d), and B3LYP/MIDI! geometries gave a mean absolute deviation (MAD) from that of the reference geometries of 1.4-3.9 kcal mol m 1 . The HF/MIDI! geometries, however, gave EDF1/6-31+G(d) and B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) energies with a MAD of only about 0.5 and 0.55 kcal mol m 1 respectively from the energies obtained with the reference geometries. Thus, use of HF/MIDI! for geometry optimization of phosphorus acids is a method that gives geometries of near-MP2 quality, resulting in a fair accuracy of energies in subsequent single point calculations, at a much lower computational cost other methods that give similar accuracies.     

Comparitive study of the sample decomposition procedures in the determination of trace and rare earth elements in anorthosites and related rocks by ICP-MS

ICP-MS has been used for the determination of over 30 geochemically significant trace elements (Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Cs, Ba, Hf, Ta, Pb, Th, U and REEs) in anorthosites and related rock reference samples. Open acid digestion, pressure decomposition using HF, HNO(3) and HClO(4), and a fusion method using lithium metaborate and subsequent dissolution in dil. HNO(3) were adopted for the decomposition of these rock samples before analysis. The dissolution problems and interference effects are discussed. Rh and Bi were used as internal standards. The first set of data on several rare earths and other trace elements in the Russian anorthosite reference sample, MO-6 are presented along with data on other samples. The data are compared with the available data. The results obtained with different dissolution methods were found to be in good agreement for the majority of the trace elements. The accuracy and precision achieved (better than 6% RSD in most cases) suggested that the data obtained by ICP-MS for such samples are best suited for geochemical interpretations.

Effect of CO_2 on the structural variation of Na_2WO_4/Mn/SiO_2 catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene

In this work,the influence of CO2 on the structural variation and catalytic performance of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene was investigated. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation method and characterized by XRD,Raman and XPS techniques. Appropriate amount of CO2 in the reactant gases enhanced the formation of surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and promoted the migration of O in MOx,Na,W from the catalyst bulk to surface,which were favorable for oxidative coupling of methane. When the molar ratio of CH4/O2/CO2 was 3/1/2,enriched surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and high surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W were detected,and then high CH4 conversion of 33.1% and high C2H4 selectivity of 56.2% were obtained. With further increase of CO2 in the reagent gases,the content of active surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W decreased,while that of inactive species(Mn WO4 and Mn2O3) increased dramatically,leading to low CH4 conversion and low C2H4 selectivity. It could be speculated that Na2WO4 crystal was transformed into Mn WO4 crystal with excessive CO2 added under the reaction conditions. Pretreatment of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 catalyst by moderate amount of CO2 before OCM also promoted the formation of Na2WO4 species.     

Determination of total selenium content in sediments and natural water by graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectroscopy after collection as a selenium(IV) complex on activated carbon

A trace level of Se was collected on activated carbon (AC) as the Se(IV)-3-phenyl-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2(3H)-thione (Bismuthiol II) complex. The AC was directly introduced as an AC-suspension into the graphite tube atomizer and the Se concentration was determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (T. Okutani, T. Kubota, N. Sugiyama and Y. Turuta, Nippon Kagaku Kaishi, (1991) 375). The amount of Se in heavily contaminated samples including sediment, lake water and seawater was determined using this method. The sediments were digested with HNO(3)HClO(4)HF and the interference from AlF(3) was removed using H(3)BO(3)HClO(4). Lake water and seawater were acidified with H(2)SO(4) and digested with KMnO(4). The Se concentrations of these samples were determined by this method with satisfactory results. The above method is simple, rapid and applicable to heavily contaminated samples.     

The role of different soil sample digestion methods on trace elements analysis: a comparison of ICP-MS and INAA measurement results

The measurement of trace-element concentration in soil, sediment and waste, is generally a combination of a digestion procedure for dissolution of elements and a subsequent measurement of the dissolved elements. “Partial” and “total” digestion methods can be used in environmental monitoring activities. To compare measurement results obtained by different methods, it is crucial to determine and to maintain control of the bias of the results obtained by these methods. In this paper, ICP-MS results obtained after matrix digestion with modified aqua regia (HCl+HNO₃+H₂O₂) method and two “total” digestion methods (microwave aqua regia+HF and HNO₃+HF) are compared with those obtained by instrumental neutron activation analysis, a non-destructive analytical method for the determination of the total mass concentrations of inorganic components in environmental matrices. The comparison was carried out on eight agricultural soil samples collected in one test area and measured by k₀-INAA and ICP-MS to determine As, Co, Cr, Sb and Zn mass concentration. The bias of results for As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb and Zn of the three digestion methods were assessed using selected measurement standards. This paper highlights that the digestion procedure is an integral part of the measurement and can affect the measurement result in environmental analysis.     

Application of the microwave acid digestion method to the decomposition of rock samples

The microwave acid digestion method was applied to the decomposition of rock samples and optimum conditions were investigated. Samples of 10–100 mg were decomposed by changing the amount and composition of acid, heating time and number of reheating steps and then the concentrations of Si, Fe, Mn, Na, K and Mg in these samples were measured. The concentrations agreed with reported values when 10 mg of sample were decomposed by heating for 60 s with 0.3 ml of concentrated HNO₃ and 0.1 ml of concentrated HF. Similarly, 100 mg of sample were also decomposed successfully by heating for 45–110 s with 0.3–1.0 ml of concentrated HNO₃ and 0.4–0.7 ml of concentrated HF. It is concluded that the microwave acid digestion method decomposes rock samples with a very short heating time and with small amount of reagents compared with methods using conventional sealed PTFE vessels, which require several hours for the heating step and several millilitres of reagents.     

Comparison of digestion methods for determination of total phosphorus in river sediments

In this study, four digestion methods used to determine total phosphorus in river sediments, including Na₂CO₃ fusion, the H₂SO₄ and H₂SO₄ + H₂O₂ methods and the SMT protocol were investigated. Interference effects of iron, calcium and organic matter in river sediments, and the substances contained in the digestion agents on the photometric determination of the phosphates were analysed. The digestion methods were tested on ten river sediment samples. Statistical analysis of the results showed significant differences between sample treatments relating to the mean total phosphorus concentration.

Improved methodology for the microwave digestion of carbonate-rich environmental samples

Microwave-assisted digestion permits a rapid and total dissolution of sediments and various other sample types, allowing easier and more accurate multi-element determinations. In this study, we present an optimised microwave digestion method for the complete digestion of 200 mg of carbonate-rich sediments. The optimised method prevents the formation of precipitates and assures a complete dissolution of the material. The optimised method involves treatment with concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) prior to microwave digestion, which prevents the formation of an insoluble calcium fluoride precipitate associated with the use of hydrofluoric acid (HF). Three different certified reference samples along with a pure calcium carbonate standard and a carbonate-rich in-house marine sediment sample were considered. Sediments were found to only be partially digested if insufficient HF was present, while a noticeable fluoride-based precipitate was found if excess HF was present. Twenty elements were analysed using sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (Al, Ag, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Sr, Th, Ti, U, V and Zn). A total sample digestion with average elemental recoveries above 90% was obtained by reacting carbonate-rich samples with HCl on a hotplate at 150°C for 2 h (time for the total release of generated CO₂), prior to any microwave digestion step. This extra step prevented the accumulation of gas in the sealed vessels during digestion, which would otherwise influence the carbonate chemical equilibria and make insoluble calcium available for precipitation. After this initial treatment, the improved digestion method consisted of microwave attack employing a mix of concentrated HCl, nitric acid (HNO₃) and HF (4 mL/10 mL/2 mL), followed by evaporation on a hotplate. The limits of detection (LOD) obtained using the optimised microwave protocol and ICP-MS measurements were below 0.1 µg/kg for the trace elements and below 0.2 mg/kg for major elements.     

Electroanalytical methods for determination of the metal content and acetic-acid-available metal fractions in soils

The pseudo-total and available arsenic, cadmium, and lead content of soils have been determined by stripping voltammetry with a hanging-mercury-drop electrode and by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization. For determination of pseudo-total metals microwave digestion with a mixture of HNO3 and HClO4, with and without addition of HF, was investigated. The single-extraction procedure with 0.43 mol L-1 CH3COOH, proposed by BCR, was used to assess the availability of metals in soils. The results obtained were validated by analysis of a certified reference material.     

A rapid high-performance analytical procedure with simultaneous voltammetric determination of toxic trace metals in urine

For the monitoring of toxic trace metals in urine a new high-performance trace analytical procedure with simultaneous voltammetric determination is presented. Particular emphasis has been placed on minimizing contamination by reducing the urine sample volume to 1 ml and consequently limiting the needed amount of HNO(3)/HClO(4) and the duration (<20 min) of the wet digestion stage. The procedure consists of three stages. First 20 urine samples (1 ml each) are simultaneously freeze-dried overnight. They then require only a short wet digestion (HClO(4)/HNO(3) 2:1, 20 min, 210 degrees ). They are then adjusted to pH 4.5 with acetate buffer and the trace metals are determined simultaneously by differential pulse anodic-stripping voltammetry at the mercury film electrode, the quartz digestion vessel being used as the voltammetric cell. If precipitates occur in the acidified samples, their trace metal content can be determined in the same manner, avoiding the low results commonly obtained by other methods. The procedure has high sensitivity with fair to good precision, covers a determination range from the sub-mug/l. to the medium mug/l. level and lends itself to automation. It is cheaper and more accurate than atomic absorption. Thus the procedure provides important potentialities for surveillance of occupationally exposed persons as well as for extended ecotoxicological baseline studies in man and cattle.

Acid digestion of geological and environmental samples using open-vessel focused microwave digestion

The application of open vessel focused microwave acid digestion is described for the preparation of geological and environmental samples for analysis using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The method is compared to conventional closed-vessel high pressure methods which are limited in the use of HF to break down silicates. Open-vessel acid digestion more conveniently enables the use of HF to remove Si from geological and plant samples as volatile SiF4, as well as evaporation-to-dryness and sequential acid addition during the procedure. Rock reference materials (G-2 granite, MRG-1 gabbros, SY-2 syenite, JA-1 andesite, and JB-2 and SRM-688 basalts) and plant reference materials (BCR and IAEA lichens, peach leaves, apple leaves, Durham wheat flour, and pine needles) were digested with results comparable to conventional hotplate digestion. The microwave digestion method gave poor results for granitic samples containing refractory minerals, however fusion was the preferred method of preparation for these samples. Sample preparation time was reduced from several days, using conventional hotplate digestion method, to one hour per sample using our microwave method.
