Extraction of rare earth elements with 1-(diphenylphosphorylmethoxy)-2-diphenylphosphoryl-4-ethylbenzene with the use of 1,1,7-trihydrododecafluoroheptanol as a solvent

Extraction of rare earth elements from nitric acid solutions in a 1,1,7-trihydrododecafluoroheptanol-water system with the use of phosphoryl-containing podand 1-(diphenylphosphorylmethoxy)-2-diphenylphosphoryl-4-ethylbenzene (L) was studied. The content of metals in organic phase was shown to be negligible at nitric acid concentration lower 1 mol/L. Distribution ratio sharply increases with nitric acid concentration from 1 mol/L and reaches 5.5 for the yttrium subgroup elements at HNO₃ concentration of 6 mol/L. The rare earth elements of the yttrium subgroup were found to be extracted much better than the rare earth elements of the cerium subgroup under the same conditions, the distribution ratios in both subgroups smoothly rise with atomic number of element. It was shown using the shift of extraction equilibrium that the M: L ratio in extracted complexes is 1: 2 irrespective of the nature of rare earth element. The structure of complex {Yb[η²-(O,O′)-L]₂(η²-O₂NO)₂}(O₂NOHNO₃), whose single crystals were isolated from extraction solution, was established by X-ray diffraction study. The system can be used for the isolation and separation of rare earth elements.

Development of a certified reference material (NMIJ CRM 7505-a) for the determination of trace elements in tea leaves

A certified reference material (CRM) for trace elements in tea leaves has been developed in National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ). The CRM was provided as a dry powder (<90 μm) after frozen pulverization of washed and dried fresh tea leaves from a tea plant farm in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Characterization of the property value for each element was carried out exclusively by NMIJ with at least two independent analytical methods, including inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), high-resolution (HR-) ICP-MS, isotope-dilution (ID-) ICP-MS, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), graphite-furnace atomic-absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) and flame atomic-absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Property values were provided for 19 elements (Ca, K, Mg, P, Al, B, Ba, Cd, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sr, Zn and Co) and informative values for 18 elements (Ti, V, Cr, Y, and all of the lanthanides, except for Pm whose isotopes are exclusively radioactive). The concentration ranges of property values and informative values were from 1.59% (mass) of K to 0.0139 mg kg(-1) of Cd and from 0.6 mg kg(-1) of Ti to 0.0014 mg kg(-1) of Lu, respectively. Combined relatively standard uncertainties of the property values were estimated by considering the uncertainties of the homogeneity, analytical methods, characterization, calibration standard, and dry-mass correction factor. The range of the relative combined standard uncertainties was from 1.5% of Mg and K to 4.1% of Cd.

Ecological Dangers of Chemical Contamination of Urban Areas Soils: Casestudy of Tomsk

The elemental composition of soils in Western Siberia industrial center – Tomsk city is studied. The content of 28 elements in soils of the four administrative districts is determined by the instrumental neutron activation analysis method. The value of calculated total pollution index indicates a high degree of soil contamination, and dangerous levels of human health risk. The main contributors to the total pollution index value are elements: Tb, Br, Sb and Ta. The districts were ranked by the accumulation level of some elements, and it is shown that increased concentration values are confined to industrial enterprises and fuel cycle. The specificity of city districts soil cover is the increased values of relative to the city average values of several elements contents: Kirovsky district- Na and Ba, Oktyabrsky - Hf, Sc, Tb, Sm, La, Ce, Yb, Lu, and Br, Leninsky - Ca, Rb, Sr. The main sources of chromium and barium in the Tomsk city environment are analyzed.     

Participation in IAEA proficiency test exercise on major,minor and trace elements in ancient Chinese ceramic (IAEA-CU-2006-06) using low power research reactor

A proficiency test (PT) exercise was offered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for major, minor and trace elements in Chinese ceramic reference material (IAEA-CU-2006-06). Neutron activation analysis (NAA) laboratory at PINSTECH, Pakistan participated in the exercise and submitted the results for 28 elements. The aim of participation was to develop a suitable methodology for accurate measurement of as many elements as possible in ceramic material using a low power reactor (PARR-2) as this would help future investigation in a project on the authenticity of art objects, for provenance, conservation and management of ancient cultural heritage of the country. After receiving the final report of the PT exercise, a critical review of our data and final scoring of each element is made to check the suitability of our methodology and reliability of the acquired data. Most of the reported results passed different statistical evaluation criterion such as relative bias, z-score and u-scores and ratio of our results and IAEA target values. One element (Yb) falls in the unacceptable range of relative bias and z-scores. Hf and Tb showed slightly high z-scores within the questionable range. Ho, Mo and Sn were determined during this study but their results were not submitted to the IAEA. The confidence of accuracy observed for most of the elements in ceramic material has made it mandatory to report their results as information values.     

使用化学参考物质计算和阐明元素的标准化学放射本能

Exergy is the amount of work obtainable when some matter is brought to a state of thermodynamic equilibrium with the common components of the natural surroundings by means of reversible processes, involving interaction only with the above mentioned components of nature. This paper presents standard chemical exergy values for 85 elements. Reference species in the atmosphere (air), dissolved in the hydrosphere (oceans), and contained in the lithosphere (minerals) are used for these calculations. Standard chemical exergy values of elements were calculated from tabulated values obtained for standard conditions (an ambient temperature of 298.15 K and an atmospheric pressure of 0.1 MPa). Very low concentrations of elements in the atmosphere and oceans and the abundance of elements in the Earth's crust are no longer used in determining reference states for chemical elements. Liquid and gas mixtures generally are not useful as reference states. As a result of the work in this paper, a table of the chemical exergy values of many elements in the periodic table under standard conditions was tabulated.     

Far-infrared spectroscopy of CH3OD in highly excited torsional states and the atlas of the Fourier transform spectra in the range 200-350 cm(-1)

The high resolution Fourier transform far-infrared (FIR) spectrum of the torsion rotation band of CH3OD has been analyzed for the highly excited torsion states (n > or = 2) in the vibrational ground state. The spectrum shows splitting of the lines due to strong torsional-rotational-vibrational interactions in the molecule. Assignments were possible for rotational sub-bands in the torsional state as high as n = 4 and for K values up to 8 and J values of up to approximately 30 in most cases, for all the symmetry species. For the third excited torsional state n = 3 assignments were possible to K = 10. The data were analyzed with the help of the energy expansion model, which has been proven very successful in methanol. The state dependent expansion parameters are presented. These molecular parameters were able to reproduce the observed wavenumbers almost to within experimental accuracy of 0.0002 cm(-1) for clean unblended lines. These expansion coefficients should prove valuable in the calculation of precise energy values for excited torsional states up to n = 4, which is way above the torsional barrier. The detailed high-resolution spectral atlas of CH3OD has been presented in the range 200-350 cm(-1). This atlas is an extension of our earlier atlas in the range 20-205 cm(-1). The availability of this atlas in the journal will be very valuable for spectroscopists and astrophysicists seeking information in the infrared (IR) region in the laboratory and in outer space.     

Iodine status and the effect of soil erosion on trace elements in Nanka and Oba towns of Anambra State, Nigeria

Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) is common in all populations. Iodine and other trace elements naturally occur in the soil but erosion leaches off these elements from the soil. This results in a continued loss of trace elements from the soil. In the present study, the levels of iodine, selenium, zinc and lead in the environment (measured in soil, bitter leaves (Vernonia amygdalina), cassava roots (mannihot utilissima, staple food in Nigeria), and drinking water) and urinary iodine from school children (n=200), pregnant women (n=60) and women of child bearing age (n=60) were determined for Nanka prone to soil erosion and Oba all in Anambra State, Nigeria (used as control) to assess their risk to IDD. The levels of selenium, zinc and lead were analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry while the levels of iodine in the environment and urinary iodine were estimated using the method of Dunn et al.,(1993). In this study there was a positive correlation between iodine and the metals. The results show that the mean concentrations of total soil zinc (0.69 +/- 0.16 ppm); lead (0.40 +/- 0.12 ppm) values in Oba were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than values from Nanka (Zn = 0.33 +/- 0.10 ppm; Pb = 0.21 +/- 0.09 ppm). However, total soil values for selenium and iodine in soil were not significantly different in the two communities. Mean concentration of total vegetable zinc (0.63 +/- 0.14 ppm) value in Oba is significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the value from Nanka (Zn = 0.31 +/- 0.07 ppm). However, total vegetable values for I, Se and Pb were not significantly different in the two communities. Also, mean concentration of total cassava zinc (0.65 = 0.15 ppm) in Oba was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than Zn (0.44 +/- 0.1l ppm) from Nanka. However, values for Se, Pb, and I were not significantly different in the two communities. Mean concentration of total water iodine (105.25 +/- 10.44 microg/L) in Oba was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the value from Nanka (I = 89.8 +/- 6.42 microg/L). However, total water values for Se, Zn, and Pb were not significantly different in the two communities. The mean urinary iodine concentration of 170.65 +/- 27.17 microg/L in school children from Oba was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the mean concentration of 156.12 +/- 16.48 microg/L found in school children from Nanka. However, the mean urinary iodine concentration of all the women (pregnant and non-pregnant) were not significantly different in the two communities but they are below the recommended daily intake. The results show that people living in Nanka and Oba, could be at risk of IDD.

Stabilities of the aqueous complexes Cm(CO3)33- and Am(CO3)33- in the temperature range 10-70 degrees C

The carbonate complexation of curium(III) in aqueous solutions with high ionic strength was investigated below solubility limits in the 10-70 degrees C temperature range using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). The equilibrium constant, K(3), for the Cm(CO(3))(2-) + CO(3)(2-) right harpoon over left harpoon Cm(CO(3))(3)(3-) reaction was determined (log K(3) = 2.01 +/- 0.05 at 25 degrees C, I = 3 M (NaClO(4))) and compared to scattered previously published values. The log K(3) value for Cm(III) was found to increase linearly with 1/T, reflecting a negligible temperature influence on the corresponding molar enthalpy change, Delta(r)H(3) = 12.2 +/- 4.4 kJ mol(-1), and molar entropy change, Delta(r)S(3) = 79 +/- 16 J mol(-1) K(-1). These values were extrapolated to I = 0 with the SIT formula (Delta(r)H(3) degrees = 9.4 +/- 4.8 kJ mol(-1), Delta(r)S(3) degrees = 48 +/- 23 J mol(-1) K(-1), log K(3) degrees = 0.88 +/- 0.05 at 25 degrees C). Virtually the same values were obtained from the solubility data for the analogous Am(III) complexes, which were reinterpreted considering the transformation of the solubility-controlling solid. The reaction studied was found to be driven by the entropy. This was interpreted as a result of hydration changes. As expected, excess energy changes of the reaction showed that the ionic strength had a greater influence on Delta(r)S(3) than it did on Delta(r)H(3).     

Assessment of the ICP-MS method using the interlaboratory QA study of two Polish soil RMs

 Under an international collaborative certification programme, two new Polish soil reference materials, PL-1 (loess) and BPGM-1 (sandy loam soil), were analysed for 34 trace elements including all the rare earth elements using the acid decomposition method and inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). After the certification by the organisers, the analytical data obtained at our institute were compared with the certified data. 'Z-score' values calculated for individual trace elements helped in the assessment of the quality of the data. While the majority of the data obtained on ICP-MS was very precise and accurate, some of the data especially for elements such as Zr, Hf and Nb suffered from incomplete dissolution of the sample and spectroscopic interferences. For some trace elements, certified data are not available for comparison. These features together with the usefulness of interlaboratory collaborative programmes and ICP-MS for the certification of soil reference materials are discussed.

Tautomeric equilibrium of 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-2-keto-4-(n-methoxyamino)pyrimidine

The 1-β-D-ribofuranosides of 2-keto-4-(N-methoxyamino)pyrimidine, 2-keto-4-(N-methyl-N-methoxyamino)pyrimidine, and 2-keto-3-methyl-4-(N-methoxyamino)pyrimidine were synthesized, and their pK_a values were determined by spectrophotometry. The pK_a values of the compounds are evidence that the tautomeric equilibrium between the oxime and hydroxyamine forms of 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-2-keto-4-(N-methoxyamino)pyrimidine in aqueous solutions is shifted to favor the oxime form (K_T?25).     

Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of erbium and praseodymium with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol in the presence of octylphenol poly(ethyleneglycol) ether (TX-100)

The optimum conditions for formation of Er-PAN and Pr-PAN complexes in micelles of TX-100 are described, and methods proposed for spectrophotometric determination of the two elements. The molar absorptivities were 5.0 x 10(4)1.mole(-1).cm(-1) for Er and 4.6 x 10(4)1.mole-1.cm(-1) for Pr. A simple method is proposed for simultaneous determination of Er and Pr without previous separation, based on a micellar masking process.     

Study on the second-order optical behavior of 4-(substituted-benzylidene)-2-phenyl-4H-oxazol-5-one

The maximum absorption wavelengths (lambda(a-max)), absorption coefficient (epsilon), maximum emission wavelengths (lambda(e-max)) of 4-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethylene-2-phenyl-4H-oxazol-5-one (1), 4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-2-phenyl-4H-oxazol-5-one (2) and 4-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzylidene)-2-phenyl-4H-oxazol-5-one (3) were measured, their second-order nonlinear polarization values (beta(xxx)) were determined by solvatochromic method. Although the spectral nature (lambda(a-max), epsilon, lambda(e-max)) and beta(xxx) values of 1, 2 and 3 were close to each other in the same solvent, the second-order harmonic generation (SHG) value of sample 1 is higher obviously than that of sample 2 or 3 in solid state. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique indicated the reason why the SHG value of 1 is higher.
