Bulk determination of uranium and thorium in presence of each other by Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence spectrometry

A study to assess the applicability of Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF) spectrometry as a microanalytical technique for the determination of uranium and thorium as major elements in presence of each other has been made. Effect of dilution of the sample on the analytical results has been investigated. It has been found that dilution of the sample does not affect the analytical results significantly. Also the analytical results of uranium and thorium are similar with different internal standards e.g. cobalt, gallium and yttrium. With a sample size of 10 μL and the concentrations of the analytes in the range of 1–50 μg/mL and total matrix concentration less than 200 μg/mL, the precision and accuracy of the method were found to be better than 3% (1 s) and 4%, respectively. For higher concentration ranges of the analyte (up to about 700 μg/mL), the precision and accuracy values were better than 6% (1 s) and 5%, respectively. The TXRF method has an advantage of using small sample volume of about 10 μL, produces very small radioactive waste and is nondestructive but requires dissolution of the sample.

Application of the Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence technique to trace elements determination in tobacco

Many studies have identified an important number of toxic elements along with organic carcinogen molecules and radioactive isotopes in tobacco. In this work we have analyzed by Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence 9 brands of cigarettes being manufactured and distributed in the Mexican market. Two National Institute of Standards and Technology standards and a blank were equally treated at the same time. Results show the presence of some toxic elements such as Pb and Ni. These results are compared with available data for some foreign brands, while their implications for health are discussed. It can be confirmed that the Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence method provides precise (reproducible) and accuracy (trueness) data for 15 elements concentration in tobacco samples.     

A solid phase extraction procedure for the simultaneous determination of total inorganic arsenic and trace metals in seawater: Sample preparation for total-reflection X-ray fluorescence

In this paper we present a procedure allowing total-reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF) determinations of arsenic in water samples, especially in seawater samples. The procedure consists of an arsenate reduction step (performed by using a l-cysteine solution) followed by a complexation of As⁺³ with sodium dibenzyldithiocarbamate and solid phase extraction. The new procedure is a modification of a method developed by Prange and allows a simultaneous determination of As together with V, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, and U in seawater by TXRF. The procedure was tested using the Certified Reference Material CASS-4 and was later applied to regular seawater samples collected from the North Sea. The detection limit for arsenic is 10 ng L^− 1.     

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence determination of cadmium in uranium matrix using Cd Kα line excited by continuum

An energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence method for determination of cadmium (Cd) in uranium (U) matrix using continuum source of excitation was developed. Calibration and sample solutions of cadmium, with and without uranium were prepared by mixing different volumes of standard solutions of cadmium and uranyl nitrate, both prepared in suprapure nitric acid. The concentration of Cd in calibration solutions and samples was in the range of 6 to 90 µg/mL whereas the concentration of Cd with respect to U ranged from 90 to 700 µg/g of U. From the calibration solutions and samples containing uranium, the major matrix uranium was selectively extracted using 30% tri-n-butyl phosphate in dodecane. Fixed volumes (1.5 mL) of aqueous phases thus obtained were taken directly in specially designed in-house fabricated leak proof Perspex sample cells for the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence measurements and calibration plots were made by plotting Cd Kα intensity against respective Cd concentration. For the calibration solutions not having uranium, the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectra were measured without any extraction and Cd calibration plots were made accordingly. The results obtained showed a precision of 2% (1σ) and the results deviated from the expected values by < 4% on average.     

Heavy Metal Analysis of Rainwaters by Nuclear Related Techniques: Application of APDC Precipitation and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence

The aim of the present work was the establishment of a procedure for the determination of several metals in rainwater, which includes a concentration step by precipitation with APDC, preceding the EDXRF determination. The influence of different factors (the repose time of the precipitate, the concentrations of APDC, the metal carrier and the oxidant agent, and others) upon the metal precipitation and filtration was investigated. An absolute EDXRF method was used for the quantification of the Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb contents.     

Simultaneous determination of copper and iron in automotive gasoline by X-ray fluorescence after pre-concentration on cellulose paper

This paper proposes an alternative analytical method using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) to determine Fe and Cu in gasoline samples. In the proposed procedure, samples were distilled and the distillation residues were spotted on cellulose paper disk to form a uniform thin film and to produce a homogeneous and reproducible interface to the XRF instrument. The disks were dried at 60 °C for 20 min and copper and iron were determined directly in the solid phase at 6.40 and 8.04 keV, respectively. The calibration curves showed linear response in the 20-800 μg L⁻¹ concentration range of each metal. The precisions (repeatability) calculated from 15 consecutive measurements and defined as the coefficient of variation of solutions containing 100 μg L⁻¹ of Fe and Cu were 7.8 and 8.1%, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD), defined as the analyte concentration that gives a response equivalent to three times the standard deviation of the blank (n = 10), were found to be 10 and 15 μg L⁻¹ for Fe and Cu, respectively. The proposed method was applied to copper and iron determination in gasoline samples collected from different gas stations.     

Quantitative determination of sotolon, maltol and free furaneol in wine by solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography-ion-trap mass spectrometry

A method for the analytical determination of sotolon [4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone], maltol [3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one] and free furaneol [2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone] in wine has been developed. The analytes are extracted from 50 ml of wine in a solid-phase extraction cartridge filled with 800 mg of LiChrolut EN resins. Interferences are removed with 15 ml of a pentane-dichloromethane (20:1) solution, and analytes are recovered with 6 ml of dichloromethane. The extract is concentrated up to 0.1 ml and analyzed by GC-ion trap MS. Maltol and sotolon were determined by selected ion storage of ions in the m/z ranges 120-153 and 79-95, using the ions m/z 126 and 83 for quantitation, respectively. Furaneol was determined by non-resonant fragmentation of the m/z 128 mother ion and subsequent analysis of the m/z 81 ion. The detection limits of the method are in all cases between 0.5 and 1 microg l(-1), well below the olfactory thresholds of the compounds. The precision of the method is in the 4-5% range for levels in wine around 20 microg l(-1). Linearity holds at least up to 400 microg l(-1), and is satisfactory in all cases. The recoveries of maltol and sotolon are constant (70 and 64%, respectively) and do not depend on the type of wine. On the contrary, in the case of furaneol, red wines show constant and high recoveries (97%), while the recoveries on white wines range between 30 and 80%. Different experiments showed that this behavior is probably due to the existence of complexes formed between furaneol and sulphur dioxide or catechols. Sensory experiments confirmed that the complexed forms found in white wines are not perceived by orthonasal olfaction, and that the furaneol determined by the method can be considered as the free and odor-active fraction.     

Fluorimetric determination of histamine in wine and cider by using an anion-exchange column-FIA system and factorial design study

A study has been performed of the conditions for the reaction of histamine with o-phthaldehyde in a flow injection analysis system employing three channels, using an anion-exchange column to eliminate sample matrix interferences. Factorial design was used to determine which operational parameters should be included in the optimization and their optimal values were found. The method developed shows good selectivity for histamine determination in alcoholic beverages. A linear response of up to 2.0 mg l⁻¹ was observed and the detection and quantification limits were 30 and 101 μg l⁻¹, respectively. The repeatability, measured by the R.S.D. for 10 replicate injections, was 0.84 and 0.52% for histamine solutions of 0.20 and 2.0 mg l⁻¹, respectively. The recoveries obtained in wine and cider samples were close to 100% and a sample frequency of 24 samples per hour was achieved.     

Simple and rapid determination of biogenic amines in wine by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry

A rapid liquid chromatographic-electrospray ionisation ion trap mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-ITMS) method has been developed for the routine analysis of eight of the most oenologically important biogenic amines in wine without any sample pre-treatment. The method involves addition of heptylamine as an internal standard (IS) and the direct injection of filtered wine samples previously diluted with ultra high purity (UHP) water. The full-scan MS-MS spectra and the identical retention times to those of reference standards were used for unequivocal identification of the analytes. For most amines, the most abundant ions were derived from the loss of an ammonia group, while in the case of spermine and the I.S. the major product ions arose from the loss of 1,3-propyldiamine and the production of adduct with water, respectively. Detection was achieved in positive ionisation with an ion trap mass spectrometer operating in multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The method allowed accurate determination of the analytes in the range 0.5-40 ng mL⁻¹. Within-day and between-day relative standard deviation percentages were <8% and <12%, respectively. The overall process was successfully applied to identify and quantify biogenic amines in Rioja red wines. The new method is sensitive, rapid, cheap and less labour intensive.

Method Development and Quantitative Elemental Analysis of Mentha Longifolia L. Leaves from Saudi Arabia by Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence

A method has been developed for the quantitative elemental analysis of Mentha longifolia L. leaves collected from different cities in Saudi Arabia using total reflection X-ray fluorescence. Using a microwave digestion system, 100?mg of each sample was completely digested using 3?mL of nitric acid and 2?mL of hydrogen peroxide. The stabilization of the digested samples on the silicon reflectors was studied using a silicone solution and polyvinyl alcohol. 5?µL of either silicone solution or polyvinyl alcohol (1% m/v) was pipetted and dried on the silicon reflector prior to the deposition of the digested samples. It was recognized that there is some enhancement on the intensity of the peak area with the silicone solution at photon energies less than 11?keV. However, the obtained results confirm the ability of using silicone solution or polyvinyl alcohol (1% m/v) as the stabilizer prior to the deposition of the sample droplet on the quartz reflector. However, the silicone solution was more applicable. Based on the developed method, 15 elements were quantified, namely, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, and Ba. Based on the present quantitative analysis results, M. longifolia samples collected from Al-Madina city had the highest concentration of P, Cl, K, Ti, Fe, Ni, and Cu. The lowest concentrations of P, S, Cl, K, Mn, Ni, and Br were found in Taif-Shafa.
