Synthesis of Carbon Nanohorns by Inductively Coupled Plasma

We demonstrate a new pathway for the synthesis of carbon nanohorns (CNHs) in a reactor by using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and gaseous precursors. Thermal plasma synthesis allows the formation of different carbon allotropes such as carbon nanoflakes, hybrid forms of flakes and nanotubules, CNHs embryos, seed-like CNHs and onion-like polyhedral graphitic nanocapsules. In this study, pressure has the greatest impact on the selectivity of carbon nanostructures: pressure below 53.3 kPa favors the growth of carbon nanoflakes and higher pressures, 66.7 kPa and above, promotes the formation of CNHs. The ratio between methane and hydrogen as well as the global concentration of CH₄?+?H₂ inside the plasma flame are also crucial to the reaction. CNHs are formed preferentially by injection of a 1:2 ratio of H₂ to CH₄ at 82.7 kPa with a production rate of 20 g/h. The synthesis pathway is easily scalable and could be made continuous, which offers an interesting alternative compared to methods based on laser-, arc- or induction-based vaporization of graphite rods.

Crystal-field studies of trivalent Thulium in Yttrium Aluminum Garnet

CF parameters have been calculated from the splitting of some of the manifolds of Tm³⁺ in Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAlG). Values of these parameters are: A ₂ ⁰ =270 cm^–1, A ₂ ² =± 95 cm^–1, A ₄ ⁰ =–170 cm^–1, A ₄ ² =± 410 cm^–1, A ₄ ⁴ =–1020 cm^–1, A ₆ ⁰ =30 cm^–1, A ₆ ² =± 115 cm^–1, and A ₆ ⁴ =–475 cm^–1. There are indications that these parameters do not describe the splitting patterns of excited states with higher energy.

Carbon Nano-Flakes Produced by an Inductively Coupled Thermal Plasma System for Catalyst Applications

Carbon material was produced using an inductively coupled thermal plasma torch system of 35 kW and a conical shape reactor. The carbon nanopowders were obtained by plasma decomposition of methane at various flow rates and show a uniform microstructure throughout the reactor. The product has a crystalline graphitic structure, with a stacking of between 6 and 16 planes and a nano-flake morphology with particles dimensions of approximately 100 nm long, 50 nm wide and 5 nm thick. Nitrogen was also introduced in some synthesis experiments along with the methane precursor using flow rates of 0.1 and 0.2 slpm. The resulting product has the same structural properties and the nitrogen is incorporated into the graphitic structure through pyridinic type bonds.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry with an Electrically Floating Sampling Interface

In conventional inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry devices, the sampler and skimmer are grounded. In this work, modest DC voltages (+ 10 to + 50 Vl are applied to either (or both) sampler and skimmer. Alternatively, the skimmer is biased, and the sampler is merely left floating. The latter arrangement improves sensitivity for Co⁺ by sixfold, provides nearly the same molar sensitivity for CO⁺, Rh⁺, and Ho⁺, and extends the upper end of the linear dynamic range to approximately 100 ppm. These changes to the interface do not affect the background perceptibly. The relationship between applied potential and the potential actually measured on the sampler and skimmer is also discussed.

Direct Determination of Lead in Whole Blood Using Electrothermal Vaporization Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry

Abstract

A carbon rod atomizer was used for sample introduction into a commercial inductively coupled plasma for the determination of lead in whole blood. Samples of known lead concentration were either treated with Triton-X or nitric acid or diluted 1+5 with distilled water and analyzed by comparison against graphs obtained using aqueous solutions and using the standard additions method. Both approaches produced similar results indicating no appreciable matrix influence. The Pb concentration values obtained were in close agreement with those previously determined by ETA-AAS, Delves′ cup-FAAS and anodic stripping voltammetry. Signal integration and careful selection of the measurement period were critical to obtain accurate results. Derived concentrations were shown to be essentially independent of the heating rate of the vaporization unit and the length of tubing used to transport the material into the plasma. Using a 1 μg ml^?1 lead aqueous standard, a signal to background ratio of 5.5 was obtained under optimized conditions. Relative standard deviations of the blank and the analytical signal were 0.2 and 1.8%., respectively. An aqueous solution detection limit of 0.007 μg ml^?1 was calculated for lead.

Direct Analysis of Laminated Dolomite and Zircon by Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

Distributions of elements in laminated dolomite and zircon crystal were obtained by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The variation of signal intensity was normalized by an internal standard method using the sum of the signals of Ca and Mg which was assumed to be constant in every position for the dolomite sample and using Zr signal for the zircon sample. The concentrations of elements change correspondingly across the laminated structure of dolomite. U and Th show a zoned distribution in the zircon crystal.     

Elemental Analysis of Stone Fruits by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Direct Mercury Analysis

This study reports the concentrations of eight trace essential (Zn, Mn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, V, and Se) and four toxic elements (Pb, As, Cd, and Hg) in commonly consumed stone fruits from South Korea. The samples were digested by microwave-induced combustion and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The concentrations of mercury were analyzed by direct mercury analysis (DMA). The analytical techniques were validated by linearity, limits of detection and quantification, precision, recovery, and for accuracy by analyzing a spinach leave-certified reference material; satisfactory results were obtained in all cases. The concentrations of essential trace elements varied considerably among the stone fruits. Generally stone fruits contained comparatively high concentrations of Zn (0.946 to 7.86?µg/g) and Mn (below the limit of detection to 1.66?µg/g), while lower contents of Cu (0.214 to 1.24?µg/g), Cr (0.032 to 0.114?µg/g), Ni (0.006 to 0.091?µg/g), Co (0.004 to 0.016?µg/g), V (below the limit of detection to 0.023?µg/g), and Se (0.0002 to 0.005?µg/g) were obtained. The concentrations (µg/g) of toxic metals were 0.007 (peach) to 0.016 (cherry) for Pb, 0.001 (plum) to 0.007 (cherry) for As, 0.002 (apricot and cherry) to 0.003 (peach) for Cd, and 0.0003 (peach) to 0.0016 (jujube) for Hg. The values for the estimated dietary intakes, target hazard quotients, and hazard indices were lower than the recommended safety limits by World Health Organization. Therefore, the analyzed stone fruits were deemed to be safe for human consumption.

Distance-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry with IonCCD Detection and an Inductively Coupled Plasma Source

Distance-of-flight mass spectrometry (DOFMS) is demonstrated for the first time with a commercially available ion detector—the IonCCD camera. Because DOFMS is a velocity-based MS technique that provides spatially dispersive, simultaneous mass spectrometry, a position-sensitive ion detector is needed for mass-spectral collection. The IonCCD camera is a 5.1-cm long, 1-D array that is capable of simultaneous, multichannel ion detection along a focal plane, which makes it an attractive option for DOFMS. In the current study, the IonCCD camera is evaluated for DOFMS with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) ionization source over a relatively short field-free mass-separation distance of 25.3–30.4 cm. The combination of ICP-DOFMS and the IonCCD detector results in a mass-spectral resolving power (FWHM) of approximately 900 and isotope-ratio precision equivalent to or slightly better than current ICP-TOFMS systems. The measured isotope-ratio precision in % relative standard deviation (%RSD) was ≥0.008%RSD for nonconsecutive isotopes at 10-ppm concentration (near the ion-signal saturation point) and ≥0.02%RSD for all isotopes at 1-ppm. Results of DOFMS with the IonCCD camera are also compared with those of two previously characterized detection setups.
