Abstract

A new procedure based on closed vessel Microwave-Induced Combustion (MIC) technique is proposed for the decomposition of petroleum coke and further determination of sulfur by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The procedure is based on sample ignition by microwave radiation using closed quartz vessels pressurized with oxygen and use of NH4NO3 as an ignition aid. The nature and concentration of absorbing/refluxing solution were studied, as well as the operational parameters related to MIC technique. Results were compared with those obtained by conventional wet digestion in closed vessels, certified reference materials (agreement was better than 98%), and also using ion chromatography for S determination.  相似文献

A microwave-assisted double insert multimode vapour-phase digestion method was developed for the digestion of organic samples. The experimental set-up was based on a third generation-type teflon microwave vessel, equipped with an automatic pressure regulating type vessel cover. A borosilicate glass holder insert, containing a smaller quartz sample insert, was fitted inside the vessel. Sulphuric acid was added to the holder insert as a microwave absorbing and temperature transferring liquid, which transferred heat to the sample insert (into which the sample was weighed) and charred the sample material. Oxidation of the sample material was carried out simultaneously with charring using nitric acid vapour, which was generated by the 1:1 (v/v) sulphuric acid-nitric acid mixture located in the bottom of the microwave vessel. This set-up generated high digestion efficiency, without any of the interferences normally associated with direct sulphuric acid usage. The method was used for determining the concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Zn and Fe in certified organic reference materials using ICP-OES instrumentation. The certified organic reference materials were NRCC DOLT-2 dogfish liver, NIST-SRM 1577b bovine liver and IRMM VDA cadmium in polyethylene No. 001 and No. 004. The results were in good agreement with the certified values, forepart from Cd. For Cd the results were lower than the certified values due to volatilization losses. Sample materials that could not be digested by an earlier procedure were completely digested during a single-step, 30 min digestion. The tested sample materials included certified reference materials, 3-nitrobenzoic acid (3-NBA) and pike (Esox lucius) muscle. The residual carbon concentrations in the digestion solutions were below the detection limit of the TOC instrument. This type of digestion method is described here for the first time in the literature.  相似文献

In this study, microwave-induced combustion (MIC) of extra-heavy crude oil is proposed for further chlorine and sulfur determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Combustion was carried out under oxygen pressure (20 bar) in quartz vessels using ammonium nitrate (50 µl of 6 mol l− 1 solution) as ignition aid. Samples were wrapped with polyethylene film and placed on a quartz holder positioned inside the quartz vessels. The need for an additional reflux step after combustion and the type and concentration of absorbing solution (water, 0.02 to 0.9 mmol l− 1 H2O2, 10 to 100 mmol l− 1 (NH4)2CO3 or 0.1 to 14 mol l− 1 HNO3) were studied. The influence of sample mass, O2 pressure and maximum pressure attained during the combustion process were investigated. Recoveries from 92 to 102% were obtained for Cl and S for all absorbing solutions. For comparison, Cl and S determination was also performed by ion chromatography (IC) using 25 mmol l− 1 (NH4)2CO3 as absorbing solution. Using MIC with a reflux step the agreement was better than 95% for certified reference materials of similar composition (crude oil, petroleum coke, coal and residual fuel oil). Microwave-assisted digestion and water extraction in high pressure closed vessels were also evaluated. Using these procedures the maximum recoveries were 30 and 98% for Cl and S, respectively, using microwave-assisted digestion and 70% for Cl and less than 1% for S by water extraction procedure. Limits of detection by ICP OES were 12 and 5 µg g− 1 for Cl and S, respectively, and the corresponding values by IC were 1.2 and 8 µg g− 1. Using MIC it was possible to digest simultaneously up to eight samples resulting in a solution suitable for the determination of both analytes with a single combustion step.  相似文献

Optimization of acid digestion method for mercury determination in marine biological samples (dolphin liver, fish and mussel tissues) using a closed vessel microwave sample preparation is presented. Five digestion procedures with different acid mixtures were investigated: the best results were obtained when the microwave-assisted digestion was based on sample dissolution with HNO3-H2SO4-K2Cr2O7 mixture. A comparison between microwave digestion and conventional reflux digestion shows there are considerable losses of mercury in the open digestion system. The microwave digestion method has been tested satisfactorily using two certified reference materials. Analytical results show a good agreement with certified values. The microwave digestion proved to be a reliable and rapid method for decomposition of biological samples in mercury determination.  相似文献

A novel system for microwave-assisted wet digestion in closed vessels is described. Six pressure vessels made of quartz or Hostaflon® TFM are placed in a special rotor in a microwave oven. During sample decomposition the pressure and temperature are measured in each vessel, and the data are transferred from the rotor by means of infrared light to the control unit. This means that no pneumatic or electronic connections to the vessels need to be established, providing very easy handling. The temperature history of each vessel is recorded; so the progress of each sample digestion may be reconstructed later on. Thus the requirements for quality control in sample digestion are available for the first time. For sample digestion at 75 bar and up to 280°?C, quartz vessels with 50 mL volume are used. Depending on the matrix, the maximum sample loading capacity is 1.2 g. TFM-vessels with 100 mL volume work at 30 bar up to 240°?C. The performance of the digestion system was tested with twelve standard reference materials. The results closely matched the certified values.  相似文献

Samples (ca. 0.3 g) are digested in 10-ml quartz vessels and the same vessel is used for anodic stripping voltammetry. Thus possible contamination during handling and dilution of the decomposed sample solution are avoided. A special design of column placed over the vessel provides digestion under reflux conditions without leakage and a glass cap fitted to another condenser enables the residual mineral acids (especially sulfuric acid) to be boiled out under low pressure conditions. The usual PTFE holder for electrodes and gas tubes is modified to facilitated insertion of the 10-ml vessel underneath. The system was checked on NBS standard reference materials (wheat flour and rice flour) and tested for the determinaton of Cd, Pb and Cu in baby foods. The limits of detection obtained for 3-min decomposition times were 0.3 ng g?1, 4 ng g?1 and 8 ng g?1 for cadmium, lead and copper, respectively. The levels of these elements in various commercial baby foods are given.  相似文献

In this work, three sample preparation methods were evaluated for further halogen determination in elastomers containing high concentrations of carbon black. Samples of nitrile-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer elastomers were decomposed using oxygen flask combustion and microwave-induced combustion (MIC) for further Br and Cl determination by ion chromatography (IC), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Extraction assisted by microwave radiation in closed vessels was also evaluated using water or alkaline solution. Digestion by MIC was carried out using 50 mmol l−1 (NH4)2CO3 as the absorbing solution. The effect of the reflux step was also evaluated. Accuracy was evaluated using certified reference materials with polymeric matrix composition and by comparison of results using neutron activation analysis. Agreement for Br and Cl was better than 95% by MIC using 5 min of reflux, and no statistical difference was found using IC, ICP OES, and ICP-MS for determination of both analytes. For MIC, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was lower than 5%. Using extraction in closed vessels, a high amount of residues was observed, and recoveries were lower than 45% for both analytes. For oxygen flask combustion, the agreement was similar using MIC but RSD was higher (20%). The residual carbon content, an important parameter used to evaluate the digestion efficiency, was always below 1% for MIC. Using MIC, it was possible to digest elastomers with high efficiency, resulting in a single solution suitable for halogen determination by different techniques.  相似文献

A solid sampling flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (SS-FF-AAS) system was developed for Mn and Ni determination in petroleum coke. The proposed system for solid sampling was a quartz cell with two perpendicular tubes (T-shaped tubes), positioned above the burner. Manganese and Ni determination was made using an atomic absorption spectrometer with deuterium background corrector, air-acetylene flame and a single slit burner. Powdered samples of coke were introduced as pellets (up to 62 mg) into the quartz cell with a movable hollow quartz piston. When the sample pellet reached the end of quartz cell (T-connection), in the presence of a constant oxygen flow, it quickly burned and the combustion products were transferred to the upper slit tube where the atomic absorption process occurs. Calibration was possible using aqueous reference solutions applied directly on high purity graphite pellets. Results obtained for Mn and Ni using the proposed SS-FF-AAS system were compared to those obtained by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after sample decomposition by high pressure microwave assisted acid digestion and also by microwave induced combustion. Agreement better than 96% was obtained for both methods employing a previous step of sample digestion (ICP OES and ICP-MS) and by SS-FF-AAS. Accuracy was evaluated using certified reference materials and also recovery tests. The relative standard deviation was lower than 9% for both analytes. The characteristic mass was 18.3 and 14.7 ng and the limit of detection was 0.6 and 0.8 µg g− 1 for Mn and Ni, respectively. The proposed SS-FF-AAS system can be applied for Mn and Ni determination in petroleum coke, combining a relatively high sample throughput (9 determinations per h), and a suitable precision and accuracy.  相似文献

A microwave-induced combustion (MIC) procedure was applied for coal digestion for subsequent determination of As, Cd and Pb by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Hg using cold vapor (CV) generation coupled to ICP-MS. Pellets of coal (500 mg) were combusted using 20 bar of oxygen and ammonium nitrate as aid for ignition. The use of nitric acid as absorbing solution (1.7, 3.5, 5.0, 7.0 and 14 mol L−1) was evaluated. For coal samples with higher ash content, better results were found using 7.0 mol L−1 HNO3 and an additional reflux step of 5 min after combustion step. For coal samples with ash content lower than 8%, 5.0 mol L−1 nitric acid was suitable to the absorption of all analytes. Accuracy was evaluated using certified reference material (CRM) of coal and spikes. Agreement with certified values and recoveries was better than 95 and 97%, respectively, for all the analytes. For comparison of results, a procedure recommended by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) was used. Additionally, a conventional microwave-assisted digestion (MAD) in pressurized vessels was also performed. Using ASTM procedure, analyte losses were observed and a relatively long time was necessary for digestion (>6 h). By comparison with MAD procedure, higher sample mass can be digested using MIC allowing better limits of detection. Additionally, the use of concentrated acids was not necessary that is an important aspect in order to obtain low blank levels and lower limits of detection, respectively. The residual carbon content in digests obtained by MAD and MIC was about 15% and <1%, respectively, showing the better digestion efficiency of MIC procedure. Using MIC it was possible to digest completely and simultaneously up to eight samples in only 25 min with relatively lower generation of laboratory effluents.  相似文献

Summary Three soil samples and five candidate materials of biological origin (bovine muscle, bovine kidney, bovine blood, rye flour and wheat flour) and one already certified RM (Bovine Liver, 12-02-01) were analyzed for their contents of Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn. Pressure digestion with nitric acid in PTFE (at 180°C) and quartz (at 290°C) vessels was used for sample decomposition. The measurements were made by graphite furnance atomic absorption spectrometry (ET-AAS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and square wave voltammetry. The accuracy of analysis has been checked by simultaneous analyses of six similar CRMs. An excellent agreement between the found and certified values is illustrated by highly significant correlations.  相似文献

A microwave heated, vapor-phase nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide digestion method for pulverized, biological sample materials was developed. Sample masses up to 200 mg were digested using calibrated quartz inserts inside first generation type, low-pressure, Teflon-PFA microwave vessels. In the first step, samples were digested in the vapor-phase for 80 min using a progressive heating pattern. Three mL of 70% nitric acid and 0.5 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide were used as digestion reagents. In the second step, the small residue left after first step digestion was dissolved in 1.4% nitric acid or additionally with 0.5% hydrofluoric acid by heating for 15 min. The digestion method was optimized using pike (Esox lucius) muscle as a test material. The method was further optimized using three certified reference materials. Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg and ¶Zn were determined from NIST-SRM 1577a bovine liver by ICP-AES. Cr and Ni were determined from NIST-SRM 8433 corn bran and NRCC DOLT-2 dogfish liver by GFAAS. For all elements the values obtained were close or within certified limits. Spike recoveries were between 96 to 107%. Digestion efficiency ranged from 91 to 99%.  相似文献

A method for light and heavy crude oil digestion using microwave-induced combustion (MIC) in closed vessels is described for further determination of Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Cr, Fe, K, Mg, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Se, Sr, Tl, V, and Zn by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Conventional microwave-assisted acid digestion (MW-AD) in pressurized vessels and analyte determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) were also used for results comparison. For MIC procedure, samples were wrapped in polyethylene films and combusted using 20 bar of oxygen and 50 µl of 6 mol l− 1 ammonium nitrate as aid for ignition. The concentration of nitric acid used as absorbing solution was evaluated (1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and 14 mol l− 1) using an additional reflux step after combustion. Accuracy was evaluated for As, Ba, Ni, Se V, and Zn using certified reference material (CRM) with similar matrix composition and for Cr, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, and Mo by neutron activation analysis (NAA). Recovery tests were also performed for all the analytes by MIC and they were better than 97% using 2 mol l− 1 nitric acid as absorbing solution (with reflux step). Agreement with certified values and NAA results was better than 95%. Using MIC it was possible to obtain lower limits of detection (LODs) by ICP-MS and also by ICP OES in comparison with those obtained by MW-AD. In spite of both sample preparation techniques were apparently suitable for crude oil digestion, MIC was preferable in view of the possibility of using diluted nitric acid as absorbing solution that is an important aspect to minimize interferences by ICP-MS and ICP OES. In order to avoid polyatomic interferences on 52Cr and 56Fe determinations by ICP-MS, a dynamic reaction cell with ammonia gas was used. Residual carbon content in digests obtained by MW-AD and MIC was 15% and < 1%, respectively. Using MIC the simultaneous digestion of 8 samples was possible in less than 30 min.  相似文献

A novel approach to the study of microwave enhanced alkaline digestion was developed for rapid digestion of silicate samples. By using alkali metal hydroxide solution as microwave digestion solvent, the feasibility and principle of digestion were discussed for the determination of Fe2O3 contents in quartz, kaolin, feldspar and soda-lime-silica glass. The results obtained from four standard samples and six real world samples are in good agreement with the certified values, and are comparable to the predicted results from traditional alkaline digestion method. All the above demonstrates that this new proposed method is precise, accurate and can provide a simple, fast and energy saving procedure for the determination of components in silicate samples.  相似文献

A microwave procedure for the digestion of the NIST 1634b reference material "residual fuel oil" in closed pressurized vessels was developed in an attempt to facilitate routine analysis and obtain reproducible conditions or comparable results. The influence of sample size, reagent composition and volume, microwave power, and duration of heating on the digestion procedure was studied. Pressure and temperature inside the reaction vessels were monitored to determine the progression of the reaction and to develop optimal conditions. A nine-step heating program requiring 36.5 min with microwave power not exceeding 450 W in the pulsed mode was found suitable for the digestion of approximately 250 mg fuel oil with a mixture of nitric acid (5.0 mL) and hydrogen peroxide (2.0 mL). The reproducibility of microwave power was determined in terms of the relative standard deviations (n = 3) for temperature (2.7%) and pressure (4.9%) data. The vapor pressures obtained with 5.0 mL Milli-Q water (heated) in an 80-mL digestion vessel showed good agreement with literature data. The excess acid in the resulting digests was removed by evaporation and the concentrations of 24 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, Sr, Ti, Tl, V, U, and Zn) were determined in the diluted digests by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The experimental results were in good agreement with the certified and recommended concentrations for eight elements (Al, As, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, V, Zn) in solutions obtained after one digestion step. An additional digestion step, consisting of intermediate cooling and venting stages, was required for the accurate determination of Fe. No agreement was reached for Ca and Ba even after two-step digestion. The proposed method of digestion provided precise results with relative standard deviations generally less than 5% for most of the elements determined.  相似文献

Anodic stripping voltammetry is useful instrumental method for trace element determination in biological materials. It is however extremely demanding to the quality of the sample preparation process. The high‐pressure microwave assisted digestion seems to meet its requirements. The differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry technique was used for determination of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc in certified reference materials both of plant and of animal origin to prove the analytical properties of such sample preparation method. The found concentrations have been in satisfactory agreement with the certified values. The elaborated digestion procedure is greatly universal and has required accuracy and precision.  相似文献

The efficiency of oxidation in wet decomposition procedures for organic materials can be of great importance to the quality of the analytical data from various measurement techniques. A novel, microwave-assisted, high-temperature/high-pressure UV-TiO2 digestion procedure was developed for the accelerated decomposition of various biological samples. The technique is based on a closed, pressurized, microwave digestion apparatus (MW). UV irradiation is generated by immersed electrodeless Cd discharge lamp operated by the focused microwave field in the single polymer vessel. To enhance oxidation efficiency, a photocatalyst TiO2 was added to the microwave heated Teflon bomb. Measures of digestion completeness were provided by the appearance of carbon content and determination of trace and minor elements, enabling a comparison of different digestion procedures and sample types. Compared with other digestion systems, unusually low residual carbon contents were obtained. For the organic compounds and biological samples digested, the residual carbon content was 1-2%, corresponding to a decomposition efficiency of 98-99%. The potential of the MW-UV-TiO2 system was illustrated by the decomposition of four certified reference materials (serum, urine, milk, arsenobetaine solution) and subsequent determination of trace and minor elements. Recoveries between 92% and 107% were found.  相似文献

A comparison between open microwave digestion and digestion by conventional heating was carried out for the determination of Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb in two algae matrices using transverse heated electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). A SRM GBW 08504 cabbage was also analysed. These matrices were digested with HNO3, using a quartz vessel for microwave digestion and PFA vessel for digestion by conventional heating. Cd, Cu and Cr were determined without any modifier, while magnesium nitrate and ammonium phosphate mixed modifier was used for Pb. Results obtained by both the procedures were in good agreement with each other at 95% confidence level, and for SRM GBW 08504 cabbage the values agree well with the certified values. The limits of detection obtained were 0.0004, 0.060, 0.065 and 0.054 mg/kg for Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb, respectively, using the microwave digestion process. The RSD for Cd was 10–15% and for the other elements 5–10%.  相似文献
