Preconcentration of mercury using duolite GT-73 in the analysis of water samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry.

Duolite GT-73 resin was used for the preconcentration of Hg(II) from hydrochloric acid media as well as separation of the analyte from diversity of the co-existing metal ions (Al, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in off-line column operation. Due to the high affinity of the resin to the transition metals, Hg was adsorbed alongside with the foreign metals investigated. A complete release of the concomitant metals from the resin without the desorption of Hg was carried out using solutions of HCl and HNO3. A quantitative recovery of Hg was obtained by digestion of the resin using a H2SO4 and H2O2 mixture in an open-vessel system. An enrichment factor of 40 was achieved. The devised procedure was applied for the determination of Hg(II) in tap-water samples.

Ein neues statistisches Segmentmodell zur Deutung der dielektrischen Eigenschaften hochpolymerer Lösungen

Zusammenfassung Es wird ein neues statistisches Segmentmodell angegeben, das zur Deutung der dielektrischen Eigenschaften der Lösungen von Kettenmolekülen mit seitständigen Dipolgruppen herangezogen werden soll.Es wird zunächst die exakte Lösung für das Relaxationsspektrum angegeben. Anschlie\end wird eine Näherungslösung abgeleitet, die einen Vergleich mit den Me\ergebnissen vonBrouckère und Mitarb. gestattet. Dabei zeigt sich eine gute übereinstimmung zwischen Experiment und Theorie.     

Investigation of arsenic speciation in oyster test reference material by multidimensional HPLC-ICP-MS and electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ES-MS-MS)

Multidimensional (size-exclusion-anion-exchange-cation-exchange) liquid chromatography with ICP-MS detection was developed to produce a map of water-soluble species in an oyster test reference material. The presence of arsenobetaine, trimethyl(2-carboxyethyl)arsonium inner salt, arsenocholine, dimethylarsonic acid, tetramethylammonium ion, As(v) and two arsenosugars was demonstrated by ES-MS-MS. A previously unreported compound was isolated and identified by ES-MS-MS as 5-dimethylarsinoyl-beta-ribofuranose. Anion-exchange chromatography was optimized to produce a chromatographically pure peak of arsenobetaine (accounting for ca. 64% of all water-soluble As present) that was used to quantify this compound.     

Die mikrophotometrische bestimmung von kobalt im blutserum und anderen biologischen substanzen

A photometric method is proposed for the determination of cobalt in the form the nitroso-R-salt complex in 5–10 nil of blood serum. The organic matter is destroyed by mineral acids. Iron and copper are separated by oxine and dithizone; they can be determined later. Cobalt (just like traces of other elements), complexed by diethyldithiocarbamate and oxine, is extracted by chloroform and then determined in, the form of the nitroso-R-salt complex. The photometric measurement is carried out in a capillary cuvette 10 cm long and 0.7 ml volume, using a green Literatur S. 561. filter. Amounts of 0.02–0.3 g cobalt can be determined quantitatively, with an accuracy of ±5%.
