Method for measurement of gaseous lead alkyl compounds in outside air

Summary A method for measurement of gaseous lead tetraalkyls in outside air was described. The lead alkyls were enriched by an adsorption technique at fluid air temperature. The collection arrangement consists of a prefilter, a preseparation cooling tract and an absorption tube. The lead alkyls accumulated there are released again by heating and determined with an atomic absorption spectrometer. With a collection volume of 200 l of air, there is a detection limit of 1 ng lead per m³ air. The confidence limits of the concentration data are better than 9.5%. The measured concentrations of the gaseous lead alkyls in outside air vary between 0.001 g Pb/m³ in the Mittelgebirge near Frankfurt/Main and 0.2 g Pb/m³ on a street heavy with traffic in the center of Frankfurt.

Activated carbon as adsorbent for alkyllead in air

A method is described for the determination of alkyllead in air with activated carbon as adsorbent. The main factor affecting the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon for alkyllead was the concentration of hydrocarbons in the sampled air, as these were also adsorbed. Particulate inorganic lead was collected on a membrane filter in front of the adsorbent. The alkyllead was extracted from the adsorbent into hot nitric acid, and the concentration determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. The detection limit was 0.002 μg Pb m^?3 (sample volume 1 m³), and precision was 9.5% r.s.d. at 2.1 μg Pb m^?3 alkyllead. The method was used to monitor exposure of gasoline tank truck drivers to alkyllead. During the filling of tank trucks with leaded gasoline, alkyllead concentrations from 1 to 750 μg Pb m^?3 were found in the drivers' breathing zone, but most were well below the Norwegian TLV of 75 μg Pb m^?3.     

Enthalpimetric determination of total lead in gasoline

A method is descubed for the determination of lead alkyl additives in gasoline by direct injection enthalpimetry. The method is a single step process, iodine monochloride solution is injected into a sample of the gasoline diluted with an equal volume ofo-xylene. The system can be arranged to gave a direct reading of the concentration of the permitted lead alkyls for several concentration ranges. Once calibrated the proposed method can be operated by semi-skilled workers. The precision and accuracy are within industrial limits. The main advantages of the method are those of low cost and low time of analysis.

C4-C14-alkyl nitrates as organic trace compounds in air

The long chain alkyl nitrates (C _n >5) form a complex spectrum of natural and anthropogenic organic trace compounds in air. HRGC/ECD and HRGC/MSD using 56 amu as the signal reveal a standard pattern of isomeric n-alkyl nitrates in semi-rural air. This is regulated by the input of the corresponding alkanes, their rate constants for the reaction with OH, the rate constant of the alkylperoxy radicals for the reaction to alkyl nitrates, the atmospheric concentrations of NO/NO₂ and by the rate constants of the alkyl nitrates for the reaction with OH radicals as the major removal reaction. The complex pattern of signals given by the ECD in the retention index range between 700 and 2000 has been observed before but this is the first time that it has been assigned to a defined group of chemical compounds.The environmental impact of the occurrence of the different groups of alkyl nitrates has yet to be evaluated. Their general property as organic stabilizers for NO/NO₂ and therefore as precursors of NO ₃ ^- ions in rain and their biological potentials are also known. The long chain alkyl nitrates act as lipophilic carriers for nitric acid.     

The determination of organic and inorganic lead compounds in urban air by atomic-absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization

A method for the simultaneous determination of inorganic and organic lead compounds in air is described, together with some results from its application at different sampling sites. Air-borne particulate lead is collected on a cellulose filter. Organic lead vapours are trapped in an iodine monochloride solution, placed behind the filter. A fraction of the cellulose filter is subjected to low-temperature ashing, after which the lead content in the residue is measured by electrothermal atomic-absorption spectrometry. The organolead material absorbed in the iodine monochloride solution, is determined by solvent extraction and electrothermal atomic-absorption spectrometry. For a 6-h sampling period, detection limits of the order of 10 ng m^-3 for inorganic and 8 ng m^-3 for organic lead materials may be obtained.     

焦化汽油中硫化物类型分布的气相色谱-硫化学发光检测方法

<Superscript>206</Superscript>Pb/<Superscript>207</Superscript>Pb ratios in dry deposit samples from the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico Valley

²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb isotope ratios of dry deposit samples in the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico Valley (MZMV) were determined and correlated with some contemporary environmental material such as gasoline, urban dust, etc., as possibile pollution sources, the latter presenting different signatures ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb ratios were determined in samples “as is” by ICP-MS, using an Elan-6100. A standard material NIST-981 was used to monitor accuracy and to correct mass fractionation. The calculated enrichment factors of lead (taking rubidium as a conservative endogenous element) show its anthropogenic origin with percentages higher than 97.65%. ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁷Pb ratio in dry deposit samples ranges from 0.816 to a maximum of 1.154, following a normal distribution. Arithmetic mean was 0.9967±0.0864 lower than those of possible pollution sources: 1.1395±0.0165 for gasoline, 1.071±0.008 for industrially derived lead and, for the more radiogenic natural soil and urban dust values ranging from 1.2082±0.022 to 1.211±0.108. The possible origin of lead in gasoline used prior to 1960 is discussed.     

Analysis of organobromine compounds and HBr in motor car exhaust gases with a GC/microwave plasma system

Summary In this investigation an analytical procedure for the determination of different organobromine compounds in motor car exhaust gases is developed in order to obtain a total balance of these compounds in this type of exhaust gas. For this purpose, adsorption sampling on Tenax GC combined with thermal desorption and a fast cold trap injection into the GC column system is used. A special capillary cold trap/thermodesorption system for a fast injection within 1 s is developed. The chromatographically separated fractions are identified by their retention times and elementspecific detection with a microwave plasma detector. Methyl bromide, 1,2-dibromoethane, and vinyl bromide are analysed in exhaust gases in cases where the gasoline contains 1,2-dibromoethane as an additive (leaded gasoline). The analysed bromine contents, which correspond to these organobromine compounds, are in the range of 90–190 g/m³, 15–85 g/m³, and 5–20 g/m³, respectively. The portion of the organobromine compounds is 22–44% of the total bromine which is emitted by the exhaust gases. The other portion contains mainly inorganic particulate bromide, which can be separated by filters. The concentration of the organobromine compounds decreases with increasing motor temperature. After conversion into 2-bromocyclohexanol and after gas chromatographic separation HBr is detected to be 5.8 g bromine per m³ exhaust gas, which corresponds to approximately 1% of the total bromine emission. 1,2-Dichloroethane is analysed in the range of 5–35 g Cl/m³, whereas the concentration of tetraalkyl lead in the exhaust gases is less than the detection limit of 6.7 g Pb/m³. The average bromine/lead ratio found in the filterable portion of the exhaust gases is 0.30 (by weight); the same ratio calculated for total bromine emission including the organobromine compounds is 0.47. Compared with the bromine/ lead ratio in gasoline of 0.39 this means that at least 17% of the total lead in the gasoline is not directly emitted with the motor car exhaust gases.

Separation, detection and occurrence of (C2–C8)-alkyl- and phenyl-alkyl nitrates as trace compounds in clean and polluted air

Nitric acid, HNO₃, and nitrous acid, HNO₂, are forming stable esters with alcohols, the alkyl nitrates and alkyl nitrites. Both groups of compounds are used as fuel additives, explosives and pharmaceuticals. Alkyl nitrates are also formed as complex mixtures during incomplete combustion and the abiotic transformation of alkanes, alkenes and aldehydes in air. Organic nitrates can be assigned to anthropogenic and natural sources alike. Here the synthesis of reference mixtures of alkyl nitrates is described starting with alcohols, alkyl bromides, alkyl iodides or alkanes, respectively, sampling techniques in air analysis, and the separation of alkyl nitrates and alkyl dinitrates by high resolution capillary gas chromatography using various stationary phases and electron capture (HRGC/ECD) as well as mass spectrometric detection (HRGC/MSD). A highly selective detection mode for alkyl nitrates and alkyl di- and trinitrates — in general in the presence of other organic trace compounds — is the single ion monitoring of 46 amu in GC/MS. The separation and occurrence of alkyl- and phenyl-alkyl nitrates in polluted air is reported using capillary gas chromatography with electron capture and ion trap MS detection. The reaction of alkanes with nitric acid at room temperature simulates in a good approximation the pattern of alkyl nitrates formed in air chemistry.

Amphiphilic protic anionic oligomeric ionic liquids of hyperbranched structure

The method of synthesizing anionic amphiphilic protic hyperbranched ionic liquids with the controlled ratio between hydrophilic ionic-liquid groups and hydrophobic alkyl urethane fragments in the oligoester nucleus shell is developed. These compounds are synthesized by the interaction of excess hyperbranched polyesterpolyol containing 32 terminal hydroxyl groups with n-octadecyl isocynate followed by the acylation of hydroxyl groups by phthalic anhydride or 2-sulfobenzoic anhydride and the neutralization of the formed carboxyl or sulfonic groups by N-methylimidazole or 1,2,4-1H-triazole. With a rise in the content of alkyl urethane fragments, the synthesized compounds form the crystalline phase. Structuring of the system leads to different effects of the degree of ionicity of ionic-liquid groups on proton conductivity, which is within 10^–7–10^–4 S/cm at 100–120°C under anhydrous conditions. The thermal stability of the hyperbranched ionic liquids is determined by the nature of ionic-liquid groups and the amount of the introduced alkyl urethane fragments; it is in the range of 170–270°C.     

Porphyrins with a novel exocyclic ring system in an oil shale

A C₃₂ and a C₃₁ alkyl porphyrin, each present in Serpiano oil shale as the vanadyl complex, have been -isolated as the demetallated compounds and their structures determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the zinc complexes, using selective decoupling and nuclear Overhauser effects. The occurrence of these chiral optically inactive compounds with a methyl-substituted, six membered exocyclic ring extends the known series of isomeric structural types of sedimentary alkyl porphyrins.     

Polycyclische aromatische Verbindungen in der Atmosph?re von Linz (?sterreich)

Summary In the course of ten measuring events during spring 1985 twenty air samples were collected in Linz, an Austrian city where there is chemical and heavy industry. The collection of the air samples was carried out simultaneously at two measuring sites on both sides of the industrial area. 20 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), 4 heterocyclic aromatic compounds and two aromatic ketones were determined. It was found that the concentrations of PAHs and heterocyclic aromatic compounds measured downwind of the industrial area were higher than the corresponding background values. On an average, the concentration of the tracer substance benzo[a]pyrene was twice as high (7.1 ng/ Nm³) as the urban background value (3.3 ng/Nm³).The data from Linz have been compared with analytical results from Vienna by using chemometric methods. A cluster analysis of the PAH profiles revealed a clear separation of the samples from Linz and Vienna. Substances have been determined which are characteristic of the PAH profiles in Linz.As the results of this study show, the emissions from industry lead to an additional burden of carcinogenic organic pollutants in the atmosphere of Linz.     

The Determination of Lead in Gasoline By a Hyphenation Technology of Microwave Extraction and AAS

Usually, for the determination of trace concentration of lead in gasoline, a routine sample pre-treatment procedure (such as iodine monochloride method or boiled hydrochloric extraction method) is coupled with a spectrometric detector, because tetraethyl lead and tetramethyl lead were added in gasoline as a antiknock component. These methods involved, however, are often complex, time-consuming, labor-intensive and,hence, susceptible to errors and pollution. Use of microwave energy enhance extraction of organic compounds from solid matrices was reported, but, enhance extraction of organic compounds from organic matrices (in especial from the gasoline), then turning the extraction substance into an inorganic compound was not reported.     

Self-Assembly of Alkylammonium Chains on Montmorillonite: Effect of Interlayer Cations,CEC, and Chain Length

Recently, polymeric materials have been filled with synthetic or natural inorganic compounds in order to improve their properties. Especially, polymer clay nanocomposites have attracted both academic and industrial attention. Currently, the structure and physical phenomena of organoclays at molecular level are difficultly explained by existing experimental techniques. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was executed using the CLAYFF and CHARMM force fields to evaluate the structural properties of organoclay such as basal spacing, interlayer density, energy and the arrangement of alkyl chains in the interlayer spacing. Our results are in good agreement with available experimental or other simulation data. The effects of interlayer cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺), the cation exchange capacity, and the alkyl chain length on the basal spacing and the structural properties are estimated. These simulations are expected to presage the microstructure of organo-montmorillonite and lead relevant engineering applications.     

Mass spectrometry of hydroxyammoniocarboxylates: Lactonization of thermally rearranged molecules during field desorption

The field desorption mass spectral behavior of several hydroxyammoniocarboxylates was studied at both low and high emitter heating currents. The molecular weights of these thermally unstable compounds can be determined directly from the low emitter current (<10 mA) field desorption mass spectra, which are dominated by [xM+H]⁺ and [xM+H? CO₂]⁺ ions (1?x?4). At higher emitter currents (～20 mA), pyrolytic processes become important. These include intermolecular transfer of a single alkyl group yielding [M+alkyl]⁺ ions, intermolecular isomerization producing a hydroxyaminoester as the rearranged form of the molecule, and elimination of alcohol from the rearranged molecule, producing γ or δ lactones. The distribution of pyrolysis products does not depend significantly on the length of the carboxylate chain, but does appear to depend upon the chain length of the alkyl substituent on nitrogen. The spectra of molecules containing a long alkyl substituent (e.g. C₁₄H₂₉, C₂₂H₄₅) exhibit relatively high levels of [M+alkyl]⁺ ions, unlike the spectra of compounds which contain only methyl or ethyl substituents on the quaternary nitrogen. These latter compounds exhibit a relatively greater tendency toward lactone formation.     

Screening Brazilian commercial gasoline quality by hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic fingerprintings and pattern-recognition multivariate chemometric analysis

The identification of gasoline adulteration by organic solvents is not an easy task, because compounds that constitute the solvents are already in gasoline composition. In this work, the combination of Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopic fingerprintings with pattern-recognition multivariate Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) chemometric analysis provides an original and alternative approach to screening Brazilian commercial gasoline quality in a Monitoring Program for Quality Control of Automotive Fuels. SIMCA was performed on spectroscopic fingerprints to classify the quality of representative commercial gasoline samples selected by Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) and collected over a 6-month period from different gas stations in the São Paulo state, Brazil. Following optimized the ¹H NMR-SIMCA algorithm, it was possible to correctly classify 92.0% of commercial gasoline samples, which is considered acceptable. The chemometric method is recommended for routine applications in Quality-Control Monitoring Programs, since its measurements are fast and can be easily automated. Also, police laboratories could employ this method for rapid screening analysis to discourage adulteration practices.
