Electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA) of single particles and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF) were applied to determine the chemical composition, size and probable origin of the suspended particulate matter. The aim of the performed research was to determine the chemical composition, size and abundance of aerosol particles responsible for blackening and soiling of the works of art displayed within the Cathedral of Weert in the Netherlands and to verify the possible sources responsible for these processes. 相似文献

The identities and quantities of the phenolic compounds and coumarins in twelve samples of sugar cane spirit aged in Quercus sp., Amburana cearensis, Cariniana legalis, Castanea sativa Mill, Ocotea sp., Cotyledon orbiculata L., and Hymenaea sp. casks were determined. These compounds have a direct influence on the sensory characteristics of aged beverages; some of them are considered to be markers for the aging process. The analysis of phenolic compounds was performed by HPLC. Solid phase extraction (SPE) was also used for the determination of coumarins. The concentrations of the principal compounds extracted varied according to the species of wood. The concentrations of total phenolic compounds ranged from 0.08 for a sample stored in a 4000-L jatobá barrel for a period of six months to 40.9 mg · L?1 for a sample aged in a 50000-L oak barrel for a period of 48 months. The use of the SPE technique removed interfering compounds from the samples, thereby improving the detection of coumarin. 相似文献

The St. Michael Archangel’s Church in Szalowa, Poland, was selected for closer investigation with respect to the indoor/outdoor
air exchange and its influence on the air quality and work arts preservation. Chemical composition, size and abundance of
particulate matter and concentration of gases NO2, SO2, O3 inside and outside the church were determined. To study seasonal variation of the weather condition (temperature, inversion
level, wind direction) and the influence of seasonal sources of the air pollution (like heating of the nearby houses), samples
were collected in winter and summer time. It was stated that suspended particulate matter inside the wooden church has in
general an outdoor source. Several groups of particles were distinguished such as the organic ones, soil dust, nitrates and
sulphates. In case of organic and soil dust particles, the concentration inside was higher than outside. From the results,
in comparison to literature data, one can conclude that accumulation of particulate suspended matter in the church is more
intense than in other types of buildings. Gaseous pollutants were detected but their concentration was negligible. 相似文献

The determination of the concentration of light elements, such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, in e.g. atmospheric aerosol
particles is important to study the chemical behaviour of atmospheric pollution. The knowledge of low-Z element concentrations gives us information on the speciation of nutrients (species having nutritional value for plants)
and toxic heavy metals in the particles. The capability of the conventional energy-dispersive EPMA is strongly limited for
the analysis of low-Z elements, mainly because the Be window in the EDX detector hinders the detection of characteristic X-rays of light elements
such as C, N, O and Na. WDS is suitable for analysis of light elements, but the measurement of beam sensitive microparticles
requires the minimisation of the beam current and the measurement time. A semi-quantitative analytical method based on EPMA
using an ultra-thin window EDX detector was developed. It was found that the matrix and geometric effects that are important
for low-energy X-rays can be reliably evaluated by Monte Carlo calculations. Therefore, the quantification part of the method
contains reverse Monte Carlo calculation done by iterative simulations. The method was standardised and tested by measurements
on single particles with known chemical compositions. Beam-sensitive particles such as ammonium-sulphate and ammonium-nitrate
were analysed using a liquid nitrogen cooled sample stage. The shape and size of the particles, which are important for the
simulations, were determined using a high-magnification secondary electron image. Individual marine aerosol particles collected
over the North Sea by a nine-stage Berner cascade impactor were analysed using this new method. Preliminary results on five
samples and 4500 particles show that the method can be used to study the modification of sea-salt particles in the troposphere. 相似文献

This paper presents a systematic micro-analytical study for the assessment of the influence of a typical hot-air blow-in heating system on the generation, transport and deposition of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the church of Rocca Pietore (Italian Alps). This kind of heating system is very popular in cold regions due to its fast response and economic properties. The size, chemical composition and abundance of individual particles responsible for the negative impact on the displayed artworks are determined by ultra-thin window EPMA. EDXRF is used to determine the bulk chemical composition of SPM. Some gaseous pollutants (SO2, NO2 and O3) are sampled with the application of passive diffusion tubes and quantified with ion-chromatography and spectrophotometry. It is pointed out that several deterioration processes, such as the abrasion of the plastered walls, the re-suspension of the particulate pollution and the generation of NO2 gas, arise mainly from using the heating system. Each of these observations is a concern for the preservation of the displayed works of art. 相似文献

The combination of single-particle analysis using thin-window EPMA and a reverse Monte Carlo quantification procedure has
been proven to provide semi-quantitative elemental concentrations, including light elements. The capabilities of the method
are demonstrated through three different environmental applications in Hungary. Lake Balaton is the largest lake in central
Europe. It is suspected that the atmosphere is an important source of environmental deterioration of the Lake, relative to
the pollutant supply by rivers and direct discharges. Thin-window EPMA results of around 25,000 individual particles indicated
that the composition of the aerosol did not show characteristic seasonal variation, it was more correlated to the daily meteorological
circumstances.
A serious heavy metal pollution of the river Tisza occurred on 10 March 2000, from a mine-dumping site in Romania. Sediment
samples were taken from the main riverbed at six sites, on 16 March 2000. In some of the samples, pyrite type particles were
observed in high abundance, revealing their dumping-site origin. Biomass burning for energy production has been increased
recently, mostly in households and for space heating. Fly-ash and bottom-ash samples were collected at a 600 kW heating plant
at Sződliget during standard winter operation. Most particles contained over 65% of unburned organic substance. The concentrations
of major elements were obtained for each individual particle using thin-window EPMA, providing accurate matrix composition
for further μ-XRF investigations of the trace element composition. 相似文献

Abstract A flow injection piezoelectric procedure is proposed for the determination of brix (total solids dissolved) in the alcoholic fermentation process. A piezoelectric Perspex cell was constructed to fit one of the gold electrodes of a 10 MHz crystal and this sensor was adapted to a flow injection system. The analytical curve is linear over the brix range from 0.5 to 20.0% with a detection limit of 0.3%. Seventy results can be obtained per hour and the relative standard deviation was less than 1.45% for a solution containing 6% of brix (n=15). Applications of this method for the determination of brix in sugar cane juice and in an alcoholic fermentation bench show satisfactory results in comparison with refractometric and densimetric methods, respectively. 相似文献

The behaviour of gases produced by fission is of great importance for nuclear fuel operation. Within this context, an experimental
method for the characterisation of the fission gas including gas bubbles in an irradiated UO2 nuclear fuel was developed in our laboratory using SIMS, EPMA and SEM results. SIMS and EPMA have been used to measure the
radial distribution of xenon and SEM gives information on bubble formation across the fuel pellet radius. Using SIMS, xenon
concentration can be determined in the matrix and in the bubbles. A quantification method, allowing the determination of the
total inventory of xenon, is proposed and qualified with EPMA results. It is concluded that the complementary micro-analytical
techniques SIMS, EPMA and SEM are very powerful tools for the characterisation of the fission gas bubbles in irradiated nuclear
fuel. 相似文献

Soils of the Pereemnaya river catchment, East Siberia, Russia, characterized by high percentage of particles under 10 μm size
and the almost total absence of clay minerals, were studied using ultra-thin window electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA).
Three subfractions – 10–5 μm, 1–5 μm and <1 μm were distinguished within <10 μm fraction on the basis of mineralogical composition
and chemistry peculiarities. Besides the single particles characterization, the bulk chemistry of specified subfractions and
their contributions to the bulk soil chemistry were evaluated. It was shown that concentrations of alkali and alkaline-earth
metals within <10 μm fraction increased in the row (5–10 μm) < (1–5 μm) < (<1 μm). The presence of two mica types – low-Fe
and rich-Fe – was detected in all the subfractions. Being compared with the soil bulk chemistry, the data obtained for fraction
<10 μm show that this fraction is the major source of alkali and alkaline-earth metals and consequently the main contributor
to element release due to weathering. 相似文献

Increasing mass tourism can generate important microclimatic perturbations and also elevate indoor pollution by the transport of fine particulate matter. The purpose of this research was to study the indoor air conditions in the Royal Museum of Wawel Castle in Cracow, Poland, displaying amongst other valuable works of art also a unique collection of Flemish tapestries. The investigation involved in the determination of transport and deposition of particulate matter brought in by visitors. The microclimate inside the exhibition rooms was also monitored. Samples of suspended particulates were collected inside and outside the museum in winter and summer 2006. On days with intensive tourist visits the concentration of total suspended particulates was significantly higher (i.e., 130 µg/m3 in winter and 49 µg/m3 in summer) than on those days without tourists (i.e., 73 µg/m3 and 22 µg/m3 in winter and summer, respectively). The concentrations of all investigated elements were also considerably higher during the tourist flow. This was especially valid for soil dust associated elements (Si, K, Ca, Al, and Ti), with considerably higher levels in summer than winter. This could be linked with much more frequent tourist activity in the summer period. Also, the concentration of Cl was much higher in winter than summer, due to the use of de-icing salts on the roads and pavements. 相似文献

Depletion of high field strength elements (HFSE: Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf ) relative to other lithophile trace elements in arc magmas
and variations of Nb/Ta and Zr/Hf ratios in mantle-derived rocks can be addressed through studies of minerals, which concentrate
and fractionate these elements. The presence of rutile, a common accessory Ti-oxide phase in various mantle rocks, has often
been invoked to explain the Nb and Ta depletion in arc lavas because it has the highest HFSE abundances among the known mantle
minerals. In this study, we measure the concentrations of Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf (at > 200 ppm) in rutile of two metasomatized
mantle lherzolites using a Cameca SX-100 electron microprobe and obtain Nb/Ta ratios with an accuracy of about ± 5%. Mass
balance calculations indicate that ≤ 1−5% of Nb and Ta in the rocks reside in major minerals and that the balance is hosted
by accessory Ti-oxides. The Nb/Ta ratios vary significantly in nearby rutile grains in both peridotites (17–33, average 23;
12–37, average 21). Therefore, individual rutile grains may not be representative of the total grain population. However,
Nb/Ta ratios measured in the bulk rock lherzolites by solution ICP-MS (21 ± 0.3) are within the analytical error of the average
Nb/Ta values calculated for 5–7 rutile grains in both samples. These results emphasise that a representative grain selection
must be analysed in order to determine trace elements contents of bulk rocks from data on accessory phases. 相似文献

Vesuvianite, a complex sorosilicate, often contains variable (from trace-to-minor-element) amounts of H, B and F. We describe
a microanalytical study of H, B and F in vesuvianite by means of Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA), Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
(SIMS), and single-crystal Fourier-Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy. Most crystals investigated are B- (up to 3.67 wt%
B2O3) and F-rich (up to 2.38 wt%); H2O ranges from 0.243 to 0.665 wt%. The H data obtained by SIMS allowed us to calibrate the quantitative analysis of H2O by FTIR spectroscopy. The resulting molar absorption coefficient (ɛ
i
= 100 000 ± 2000 L · mol−1 · cm−2) is in excellent agreement with working curves available from the literature. Moreover, the SIMS data allowed us to obtain
the calibration curve to estimate the B2O3 content on the basis on the FTIR absorbance: a
i
= 34000 ± 1400 · B2O3 (wt%). 相似文献

Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan are the three provinces in China that yield the most brown sugar, a brown-red colored solid or powdered sugar product made from sugar cane. In the present study, the differences between odor compounds of brown sugar from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces in China were compared and analyzed by gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). A total of 80 odor compounds, including 5 alcohols, 9 aldehydes, 8 phenols, 21 acids, 14 ketones, 5 esters, 12 pyrazines, and 6 other compounds, were detected. The fingerprint analysis of the brown sugar odor compounds showed 90% similarity, indicating a close relationship among the odor properties of brown sugar in each province. Moreover, the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was performed to identify the compounds contributing to the volatile classification of the brown sugar from three provinces, which confirmed that OPLS-DA could be a potential tool to distinguish the brown sugar of three origins. 相似文献

Several plants, especially ferns, have been shown to tolerate and accumulate high arsenic concentrations in soils. The leaves
and roots of the ferns Pteris vittata (Chinese brake) and Pityrogramma calomelanos as well as a medical plant (Baccharis trimera) were sampled together with their associated soils in a region impacted by ore mining, the Iron Quadrangle in Brazil, where
arsenic concentrations in the soils vary sharply (6–900 μg g−1). The bioaccumulation factors were found to be low compared to the literature data, which can be explained by the low water-soluble
fraction of arsenic in soil. The arsenic species in the plants were mainly arsenite. In comparison to the rhizoid samples,
the concentrations of arsenic were higher in the leaves of the fern samples. The medical plant behaved differently. The bioaccumulation
factor was low (0.7), and trimethylarsine oxide was detected as the third arsenic species beside arsenite and arsenate in
both the roots and the leaves. 相似文献

In earlier experiments some irregular effects were observed in the X-ray spectra of yttrium doped -sialon ceramics. Yttrium L was totally absorbed whereas yttrium K was present in the spectra. Since the only reasonable explanation for these observations seems to be the effect of the silicon K-absorption edge on the entire absorption of the Y L, the experimental determination of the Y L mass absorption coefficient (mac) in silicon was performed. The silicon layer has been deposited by thermal vacuum evaporation simultaneously on the surfaces of the silica glass plate, the nickel plate and on the polished surface of the yttrium oxide sample. The silicon-covered silica glass plate was used for the layer thickness measurements (interference microscope). The silicon layer on the nickel plate was employed in the measurements of the Ni L mac value in silicon in order to verify the correctness and accuracy of the methodology. The yttrium L intensities were then measured at the silicon covered and uncovered parts of the yttrium oxide sample surface. The measured intensities were corrected with respect to the primary electron backscattering in silicon and their energy reduction in the layer. Typical EPMA instrumentation was used in all measurements. The value of the yttrium L mass absorption coefficient in silicon computed on the basis of the Lambert-Beer law appeared to be not lower than 7100 [cm2g–1] against the value of about 3255 [cm2g–1] reported in X-ray tables. 相似文献

This aper describes state-of-the-art analysis of grain boundary populations by EBSD, with particular attention paid to advanced,
non-standard analysis. The capability and versatility of EBSD for the characterisation of interfaces is emphasised. The discussion
is focussed on boundaries in face-centred cubic metals, since the majority of work has been carried out on this subset of
materials. Data processing based both on misorientation alone and customised additions which include the boundary planes are
described. Although commercial EBSD packages offer data processing options for interfaces, it is clear that there is a wealth
of more in-depth data that can be gleaned from further analysis. In particular, determination of all five degrees of freedom
of the boundary population provides an exciting opportunity to study grain boundaries by EBSD in a depth that was hitherto
impossible. 相似文献

The development of modern power generation systems with higher thermal efficiency requires the use of constructional materials of higher strength and improved resistance to the aggressive service atmospheres. In this paper the following examples are discussed:1) The oxidation behaviour of 9% (w/w) Cr steels in simulated combustion gases: the effects of O2 and H2O content on the oxidation behaviour of 9% (w/w) Cr steels in the temperature range of 600–800°C showed that in dry oxygen a protective scale was formed with an oxidation rate controlled by diffusion. However, in the presence of water vapour, after an incubation period, the scale became non-protective as a result of a change in the oxidation mechanism.Oxidation experiments on 10% (w/w) Cr steel in simulated steam atmosphere at 650°C have shown that a haematite layer is formed. The investigation suggests that several independent processes, such as oxide dissociation and solid state diffusion of iron cations in the scale, significantly contribute to the overall oxide growth process.2) The development of light-weight intermetallics based on TiAl-basis: TiAl-based intermetallics are promising materials for future turbine components because of their combination of high temperature strength and low density. These alloys, however, exhibits poor oxidation resistance at temperatures above 700°C. The experimental results showed that the oxidation behaviour of TiAl-based intermetallics can be significantly improved by minor additions of 1–2 at-% silver. 相似文献

A method of determining iodine in the vacuum ultraviolet region by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry in enriched Chlorella is established and evaluated. Alga Chlorella samples enriched with iodine were solubilized with tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The iodine content was quantified by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry using the 182.980nm emission line of iodine to avoid the spectral interference from phosphorus which occurs in Chlorella at the 178.218nm emission line of iodine. The methods accuracy was confirmed by a modified Sandell and Kolthoff spectrophotometric method (As3+, Ce4+ and brucine) after alkaline ashing, and the agreement between the methods was about 96%. The limit of detection in real samples was 3mgkg–1 for enriched Chlorella, and the iodine content in the samples varied between 100 and 1300mgkg–1. 相似文献
