Efficiency of Pt and Ir modifiers for the simultaneous determination of As, Se and In in a sodium sulphate matrix by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

The effect of pre-reduced Pt and Ir modifiers towards simultaneous determination of As, Se and In in a sodium sulphate matrix was investigated. In spite of application of very isothermal THGA atomizer, negative influence of the matrix is pronounced. The efficiency of iridium modifier is somewhat higher than that of platinum modifier. However compared to palladium modifier both are significantly less effective in sulphate media. Taking into account our previous data, effectiveness of platinum group metal (PGM) modifiers in the determination of As, Se and In in the presence of sodium sulphate increases in the order Ru<Rh≈Pt<Ir<Pd. This order is opposite to the data on enthalpy of formation of PGM sulphides. This supports our hypothesis that effectiveness of PGM modifiers in the presence of sulphate matrix is determined mainly by stability of the corresponding sulphides. Efforts to enhance the effectiveness of Pt modifier mixing it with small (10-20%) amounts of Pd, Rh or Ir were not successful. Although mixture containing equal amounts of Pd, Pt, Rh and Ru is relatively effective, pure pre-reduced Pd is the best modifier for the simultaneous determination of As, Se and In in a sulphate media.     

Zeolite content determination in kaolinic clays via thermal effects

For application in catalysis and adsorption processes, zeolites are synthesized on the surface of spray-dried kaolin microspheres. Various thermal effects are used for the rapid characterization of the zeolite type and content. From DTA measurements, the exothermic lattice break-down peak gives information on the zeolite type and the thermal stability of the sample. Measurements of the heats of immersion by a very simple and quick method allow conclusions about the type and the sorption properties of the zeolite part of the clay. The most precise method to estimate the zeolite content was a standardized technique of desorption and readsorption of water or organic compounds by means of a thermobalance.

The determination of total Se in urine and serum by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry using Ir as permanent modifier and in situ oxidation for complete trimethylselenonium recovery

The present work evaluated the use of iridium (Ir) as permanent modifier for the determination of total selenium in urine and serum by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Concerning urine, the presence of trimethylselenonium (TMSe⁺) was especially considered. Pyrolysis and atomization temperatures of 1,000 and 2,100°C, respectively, were used. For nondigested urine and serum samples, 0.2% v/v HNO₃ and Triton X-100 were used as diluents, respectively, and the same initial platform Ir treatment was effective for up to 1,100 atomization cycles. Good precision [less than 5% relative standard deviation (RSD)] can be achieved with the proposed method. Low TMSe⁺ recovery was observed for nondigested urine samples. Thus, if this species is to be considered in urine analysis, a previous external mineralization step was found to be necessary. Alternatively, an in situ oxidation treatment was developed. Detection limits of 8, 10, and 7 μg l⁻¹ were obtained after dilution, microwave-assisted digestion, and in situ oxidation procedures, respectively. The accuracy of the method was validated by the analysis of certified reference or commercial quality control materials and spiked samples.     

Simultaneous determination of Se and As by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry with analyte concentration in a graphite furnace coated with zirconium

Conditions for the simultaneous determination of selenium and arsenic at ng l⁻¹ level were developed. Simultaneous determination of these elements was possible through the multielement capabilities of hydride generation, with in situ trapping and atomization in a graphite tube coated with zirconium and measurements using a dual channel atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The zirconium coating employed in this work was relatively stable; once formed it could stand ≈80 firings without any significant change in the efficiency of hydride collection. This appears to be an advantage over the palladium coating, which is usually formed individually before each measurement because of its thermal instability during the atomization step of the furnace temperature programme. As a result, two determinations of the two elements could be performed in 2.5 min. Under the optimized conditions, concentration detection limits of 17 and 13 ng l⁻¹ for a 7.1 ml sample volume were obtained for selenium and arsenic, respectively (absolute detection limits 120 and 92 pg for Se and As).     

Simultaneous determination of arsenic and phosphorus

Summary A simple, rapid, accurate and reliable method for the simultaneous determination of arsenic and phosphorus in the presence of each other is reported. The method involves the selective solvent extraction of phosphomolybdic acid by isobutyl acetate, the direct reduction of the phosphomolybdic acid in the solvent phase by 1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid in the presence of perchloric acid, and the reduction of the arsenomolybdic acid in the aqueous phase with hydrazine sulphate.

Chemical species of iridium and other trace elements in the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary clays and their implication

The geological samples: Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary clays, meteorites, volcanic lava, and ultrabasic rock were separated into carbonate, metal, sulfide, oxide, silicate and acid-resistant residue by a selective chemical dissolution procedure developed in our laboratory. Some conclusions were drawn by analyzing the chemical speciation of anomalous iridum in the above samples and especially by studying the characteristics of mineral components in those residue phases. (1) It is impossible that the anomalous Ir was caused by geochemical enrichment; (2) The iridium enrichment in the K-T boundaries did not necessarily associate with kerogen; (3) The volcanic activity has participated in the extinction event at the end of Cretaceous; (4) Extraterrestrial impact was the trigger of K-T event. Then, we proposed a mixed model by which the extant anomalous Ir in K-T boundary clays was interpreted as a combined effect of extraterrestrial impact, volcano eruption and post-depositional redistribution.     

Simultaneous determination of pentachlorophenol and carbaryl in water

Summary A rapid method for the simultaneous determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and Carbaryl in water is described. A 1 liter water sample is extracted with hexane after acidification with concentrated H₂SO₄. After evaporation to a small volume, the extract is analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, operating in the selected ion monitoring mode. Estimated detection limits are 0.08 g L^–1 for PCP and 0.11 g L^–1 for Carbaryl, with recoveries of 96% for PCP and 97% for Carbaryl.     

Simultaneous particle and vapor deposition in a laminar boundary layer

A number of industrial and technical applications involve simultaneous particle and vapor deposition from a hot gas onto cold surfaces. For example, deposition of particles and corrosive vapors reduces the lifetime of heat exchangers in power plants and in blades of gas turbines. On another hand, in the OVD (outside vapor deposition) process used in manufacturing optical fibers, a controlled deposition of silica particles and dopant vapors is necessary for obtaining products with prescribed characteristics. In the present paper, a detailed mathematical and numerical model of this process is developed for the flow region near a stagnation point of a two-dimensional body, such as a cylinder. Using an inverse scavenging factor as a small parameter, an analytical asymptotic solution is found for vapor distribution in a condensation layer adjacent to the surface. The results of numerical calculations are presented in the form of surface temperature dependencies of dimensionless deposition rates and profiles of physical parameters of the system at a wide range of surface/gas temperature ratios.     

The determination of Se, Mg and Mn concentrations in leukocyte subfractions

This continuing study explores the feasibility of determination of elemental concentrations in a number of leukocyte subfractions. Establishing a reliable separation method using blood of normal subjects prior to the separation and elemental analysis of blood from heart bypass patients is the first step. In addition, three blood collection vessels were compared and assessed. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) using short irradiations was the technique employed. Results indicated that determination of elemental concentration was possible, in some of the leukocyte subfractions although these are in relatively small amounts. These results highlight the need for further investigation. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Simultaneous determination of dichromate and cupric ions

Summary The stage-wise reaction of titanous chloride with a mixture of dichromate and cupric copper is used as the basis of a rapid method for the determination of the individual components of the mixture cited. Diphenylamine is used as indicator for the first reaction while a few drops of ferrous solution in the presence of excess thiocyanate serve as indicator for the second reaction.     

Simultaneous amperometric determination of nickel and copper

A method is described for the amperometric titration of nickel and successive amperometric determination of copper and nickel. Nickel (1.0-16.0 mg) and copper (1.0-11.0 mg) could be determined with an average error of less than 1%. Cobalt interferes but chloride does not. Interference by aluminium, iron(III) and chromium can be eliminated. Zinc and manganese do not interfere if the correct applied voltage is chosen. The procedures can be utilized in the analysis of alloys such as nichrome, Raney nickel, constantan, german silver and manganin. It is best to use the standard addition method for less than 3 mg of nickel.

Simultaneous voltammetric determination of toxic metals in sediments

Voltammetric methods are very suitable, versatile and rapid techniques for the simultaneous metal determination in complex matrices. The work, regarding the determination of As(III), Se(IV) and Mn(II), is a very interesting example of the possibility for simultaneously determining each single element in real samples in a wide range of concentration ratios. The differential pulse (DPV) measurements were carried out using a conventional three-electrode cell, while ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer (pH 9.6) was employed as the supporting electrolyte. The analytical procedure was verified by the analyses of standard reference materials: estuarine sediment BCR-CRM 277 and river sediment BCR-CRM 320. Precision and accuracy, expressed as relative S.D. and relative error, respectively, were in all cases of the order of 3-5%, while the detection limit for each element was around 10(-8) M. The standard addition technique improved the resolution of the voltammetric method, even in the case of very high element concentration ratios.
