Problems,possibilities and limitations of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry in the determination of platinum,palladium and rhodium in samples with different matrix composition

The economic and geological importance of platinum group of elements has led to the development of analytical methods to quantify them in different types of samples. In the present paper the quantitative information for spectral interference in radial viewing 40.68 MHz inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry in the determination of Pt, Pd and Rh in the presence of complex matrix, containing Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, P and Ti as matrix constituents was obtained. The database was used for optimum line selections. By using the selected analysis lines the following detection limits in ng g^− 1 were obtained: Pt 1700, Pd-1440, Rh-900. The reached detection limits determine the possibilities and limitation of the direct ICP-AES method in the determination of Pt, Pd and Rh in geological and environmental materials. The database for spectral interferences in the presence of aluminum can be used for the determination of platinum group of elements in car catalysts.     

Evaluation of the use of multiple lines for determination of metals in water by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry with axial viewing

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometers (ICP OES) allow fast simultaneous measurements of several spectral lines for multiple elements. The combination of signal intensities of two or more emission lines for each element may bring such advantages as improvement of the precision, the minimization of systematic errors caused by spectral interferences and matrix effects. In this work, signal intensities for several spectral lines were combined for the determination of Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Pb, and Zn in water. Afterwards, parameters for evaluation of the calibration model were calculated to select the combination of emission lines leading to the best accuracy (lowest values of PRESS–Predicted error sum of squares and RMSEP–Root means square error of prediction). Limits of detection (LOD) obtained using multiple lines were 7.1, 0.5, 4.4, 0.042, 3.3, 28 and 6.7 µg L^− 1 (n = 10) for Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Pb and Zn, respectively, in the presence of concomitants. On the other hand, the LOD established for the most intense emission line were 16, 0.7, 8.4, 0.074, 23, 26 and 9.6 µg L^− 1 (n = 10) for these same elements in the presence of concomitants. The accuracy of the developed procedure was demonstrated using water certified reference material. The use of multiple lines improved the sensitivity making feasible the determination of these analytes according to the target values required for the current environmental legislation for water samples and it was also demonstrated that measurements in multiple lines can also be employed as a tool to verify the accuracy of an analytical procedure in ICP OES.

Spektrochemische Bestimmung von Gallium -, Indium-Und Thalliumspuren unter Benutzung der Extraktionssysteme mit Drei Flussicen Phasen

Abstract

A new method for concentrating of microgram amounts of elements before their spectral determination is described. The method is based on the diantipyrilethanes property to divide the organic solvent into two phases, i. e., during the extraction of elements the three liquid phase system is formed. In one of the phases (the “third phase”) 93–98% of the extractable elements are concentrated. Owing to the small volume the third phase may be dropped onto electrodes avoiding evaporating, ashing of extracts and filling of electrodes before spectral determination. This twice of three times reduces the duration of analysis and increases the accuracy and sensibility of determinations. Based on the three liquid phase system the spectrochemical method of the microgram amounts determination Ga, In and Tl(II1) in Mg, Be, Al, Sc, Y, La, Ce, Zn, Cd, Pb has been developed. The use of such systems in analytical chemistry would be perspective.

电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP-OES)法测定水泥熟料中铬的干扰研究

电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法（ICP-OES）测定重金属时常面临干扰问题。为提高ICP-OES测定水泥熟料中铬的准确度,研究选取了Cr205.560、Cr267.716和Cr283.563三条谱线,根据水泥熟料中主量元素（铁、铝、钙和镁）含量,设计不同浓度单元素干扰试验,结果表明：铁对Cr283.563谱线测定有较大的正干扰,钙对三条谱线均有较大的负干扰,两者导致的相对误差（RE）均在±10%以上,其他一般为负干扰,RE在±10%以内。进一步线性回归分析发现,除铝外,其他干扰元素的干扰大小与浓度呈强线性相关性。通过多元素复合干扰试验发现干扰导致的RE约为-18%~11%,同单元素干扰加和结果比较,两者相差约为8%~10%。实际样品检测结果表明实际干扰同多元素复合干扰试验基本相同,Cr283.563谱线测定结果误差可能更小,三条谱线的实际样品加标回收率大致相当,约为80%,经回收率修正,Cr205.560和Cr267.716谱线结果满意,而Cr283.563谱线误差较大。以多元素复合干扰试验溶液作为基体,采用基体匹配法测定可基本消除干扰影响。以钙溶液作为基体的简化基体匹配法同样有效,但仅可选用Cr205.560和Cr267.716谱线。本研究从实际干扰问题出发,通过系统分析问题,找到干扰的原因,并据此提出消除干扰方法,提高了测定铬的准确度,也为检测人员解决相关干扰问题提供借鉴。     

Spectral Interference in Antimony Analysis with High Temperature Furnace Atomic Absorption

Abstract

Background correction in atomic absorption spectrophotometry using a high temperature furnace has a close relation to the chemical treatment and the detection limit. Conventionally used for this correction is the D₂ lamp method, but spectral interference is inevitable in this method because the spectral bandwidth of the light from the D₂ lamp after passing through a monochromator is as wide as 0.1 to 5 nm. In the analysis of Sb in lead alloy or in steel, there is spectral interference due to high concentration of elements such as Pb, Cu or Fe, in the matrix, so accurate measurement is impossible unless these elements are removed at the pretreatment stage.

In polarized analyte Zeeman atomic absorption spectrophotometry developed by the authors, the wavelength of the measuring beam is the same as that of the reference and they are identical in spectral line profile as well as in geometrical shape. They differ only in the direction of polarization. For these reasons, we found that there is no spectral interference like that recognized in the D₂ lamp correction technique. As a result, a direct analysis was done simply by dissolving gunmetal or steel in acid without removing the matrix elements Pb, Cu or Fe.     

Determination of major, minor and trace elements in cobalt-substituted lithium nickelate ceramic powders by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry

An analytical method was developed for the determination of three major (Li, Ni and Co) and fourteen minor or trace elements (Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Cr, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Si, Sr, Ti and V) in LiNi_1−x Co _x O₂ (x = 0.2–0.8) ceramic powders by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Sample dissolution was achieved by 25% nitric acid digestion in a microwave oven. For each element, an analytical line free from spectral interferences was selected. A detailed study of matrix effects over a wide interval of total excitation energy (TEE) lines (1.62–16.50 eV) was performed at near-robust plasma conditions. A remarkable enhancement in atomic lines with TEE <4 eV was noticed, whereas a significant reduction in atomic and ionic lines with TEE >4 eV was observed. The extrapolation to infinite dilution method was successfully used to overcome these nonspectroscopic interferences. Detection limits (3σ) varied from 0.21 mg kg⁻¹ for Sr to 49.7 mg kg⁻¹ for Na. The precision of determination (obtained as the relative standard deviation) was lower than 1% for the major elements Li, Ni and Co and between 0.69 and 10% for minor and trace elements. The accuracy of the method ranged from 91 to 101% for major elements, and from 90 to 110%, or close to this range, for most of the impurities in both of the samples studied.

Development of a method for automated quantitative analysis of ores using LIBS

This paper reports the development of a method for real-time automated quantitative analysis of mineral ores using a commercial laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy instrument, TRACER™ 2100, fitted with a recently developed computer controlled auto-sampler. The auto-sampler permits the execution of methods for performing calibrations and analysis of multiple elements on multiple samples. Furthermore, the analysis is averaged over multiple locations on each sample, thus compensating for heterogeneous morphology. The results for phosphate ore are reported here, but similar methods are being developed for a range of ores and minerals. Methods were developed to automatically perform metallic element calibrations for supplied phosphate ore samples containing known concentrations of the following minerals: P₂O₅, CaO, MgO, SiO₂ and Al₂O₃. A spectral line for each desired element was selected with respect to the best combination of peak intensity and minimum interferences from other lines. This is a key step, because of the observed matrix dependence of the technique. The optimum combination of the time interval between the laser firing (plasma formation), signal detection, and the duration of the optical detection was then determined for each element, to optimize spectral line intensity and resolution. The instrument was capable of analyzing the required elements in the phosphate ore samples supplied with 2–4% relative standard deviations for most elements. Calibrations were achieved for P, Ca, Mg, Al and Si with linear regression coefficients of 0.985, 0.980, 0.993, 0.987 and 0.985, respectively. Preparation and analysis time for each sample was less than 5 min.     

Correction for non-spectroscopic matrix effects in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy by internal standardization using spectral lines of the same analyte

The common analyte internal standardization (CAIS) technique was extended to correct for non-spectroscopic matrix effects in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) measurements. The technique is based on simultaneous measurement of two different spectral lines of the same analyte. A matrix correction factor is then estimated from its linear correlation with the ratio of intensities of these two measured lines. Experimental tests with four elements (Ba, La, Mg, and Mn) in three matrices (NaCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃) demonstrate a significant decrease (from 3 to 22 times) of the matrix effect after correction.     

Anti-cancer,anti-oxidant and molecular docking studies of thiosemicarbazone indole-based derivatives

Based on the structural elements of bioactive 3-substituted indoles, a new series of indole–thiosemicarbazone hybrid derivatives were designed, synthesized, and well-characterized using different spectral techniques. The intended scaffolds were screened for their in vitro anti-proliferative activities against breast cancer (MCF-7), lung cancer (A-549), and liver cancer (Hep-G2) cell lines, as well as their anti-oxidant properties. Cytotoxicity studies revealed that compound 6n was the most potent, at least threefold more potent than the commercially available reference drug etoposide, against A-549. In addition, morphological analysis by the acridine orange/ethidium bromide double staining test and flow cytometry analysis confirmed induction of apoptosis in the A-549 cells by compound 6n. In order to validate the experimental results, molecular studies were performed to achieve the possible binding interactions of the most potent compound (6n) and colchicine with tubulin as well as ANP with ATPase domain of topoisomerase IIα active sites. Moreover, the radical scavenging potential of the final derivatives was found to be excellent with the range of 0.015–0.630 µM, comparable to the standard ascorbic acid (0.655 µM).

     

Effect of heterogeneity on the quantitative determination of trace elements in concrete

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy has been used for quantitative measurement of trace elements, e.g. sulfur and chlorine, in concrete. Chloride and sulfate ions have a large effect on the durability of concrete structures, and quantitative measurement is important for condition assessment and quality assurance. Concrete is a highly heterogeneous material in composition and grain-size distribution, i.e. the spatial distribution of elements. Calibration plots were determined by use of laboratory-made reference samples consisting of pressings of cement powder, hydrated cement, cement mortar, and concrete, in which the heterogeneity of the material is increasing because of the aggregates. Coarse aggregate and cement paste are distinguishable by the intensity of the Ca spectral lines. More advanced evaluation is necessary to account for the effect of the fine aggregate. The three series of reference samples enable systematic study of the effects of heterogeneity on spectral intensity, signal fluctuation, uncertainty, and limits of detection. Spatially resolved measurements and many spectra enable statistical evaluation of the data. The heterogeneity has an effect on measurement of the sulfur and chlorine content, because both occur mainly in the cement matrix. Critical chloride concentrations are approximately 0.04% (m/m). The chlorine spectral line at 837.6 nm is evaluated. The natural sulfur content of concrete is approximately 0.1% (m/m). The spectral line at 921.3 nm is evaluated. One future application may be simultaneous determination of the amount of damaging trace elements and the cement content of the concrete.

Amide derivatives of 4-azaindole: Design,synthesis, and EGFR targeting anticancer agents

Abstract

A series of amide derivatives of azaindole-oxazoles (11a-n) were designed and synthesized and their structures were confirmed by ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR and mass spectral analysis. Further, these derivatives were screened for their anticancer activity against human cancer cell lines viz; MCF7 (breast), A549 (lung) and A375 (melanoma). In vitro anticancer activity screening indicated that most of the hybrids exhibited potent inhibitory activities in a variety of cancer cell lines. Among the compounds 11d, 11e, 11f, 11j, 11k, 11l, 11m, and 11n were exhibited more potent activity than standard, in those mainly two compounds 11m and 11j were exhibited excellent activity in MCF-7 cell line with IC₅₀ values 0.034 and 0.036?µM. Moreover, all these compounds were carried out their molecular docking studies on EGFR receptor results indicated that two potent compounds 11m and 11j were strongly binds to protein EGFR (PDB ID: 4hjo). It was found that the energy calculations were in good agreement with the observed IC₅₀ values.     

The Determination of Arsenic in Soil and Sediment Digests by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

A method for the determination of As in siliceous materials from a fluoboric acid matrix by GFAAS is described. The basic analytical procedure also permits the measurement of major, minor and other trace elements by flame or graphite furnace AAS as appropriate. For As analysis, the incorporation of matrix modification with Ni and of corrective measures to overcome interference by Al, Na and Si are discussed. The validity of the method is demonstrated by the accurate analysis of four international standard reference materials and agreement with instrumental neutron activation analysis results for As in environmental samples. One application to the study of As geochemistry in lacustrine sediments is presented.

Abstract

A procedure is described for simultaneous determination of Ca, Mg and P in small amounts (a few mg) of tissues by use of Direct Current Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry. The samples were analyzed by using matrix matched standards. The necessity to use high-purity acids for decomposition of samples is demonstrated. The method was tested on four different reference samples.

The accuracies for the elements were satisfactory (93–103%). The within-run and between-run precisions were 0.9–6.8 and 0.9–8.6%, respectively.

The method may be used for determination of other elements.     

Spectral interference study of uranium on other analytes by using CCD based ICP-AES

Due to the multi-electronic nature, uranium is having line rich emission spectra and is expected to interfere during the determination of analytes at the trace level in uranium matrix. Therefore, chemical separation of uranium followed by the determination of trace metallic impurities in the raffinate by ICP-AES is generally adopted procedure in nuclear industries. There is restriction on choosing alternate analytical lines of elements by photomultiplier tube based ICP-AES associated with the polychromator while monochromator needs significant time to scan different analytical lines of all the elements. Since charged coupled detector (CCD) consists of array of pixels, it is having more option in choosing alternative analytical lines of the analytes. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the spectral interference of uranium on different analytical lines of analytes viz. Al, Ga, In, Si, Li, Ti, Mg, Sr, K, Ce, Nd, Lu, Sc, V, Er, Y, Ba, Bi, Pb, W, La, Tl, Sn, Yb, Mo, Sb, Pr and Zr; and the correction factors were evaluated (where ever necessary) using CCD based ICP-AES technique. The sensitivity and the detection limits of the analytical channels of the elements in presence of uranium matrix were calculated. The present study also deals with the identification of suitable analytical lines of uranium and its detection limits.
