CE-AES

Capillary electrophoresis and atomic emission spectroscopy (CE-AES) Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a rapidly emerging tool for many routine cHnical and pharmaceutical appHcations. Due to the high separation efficiency of the CE, this combination aUows the speciation of elements even in rather complex matrices such as human serum. A challenge for this hyphenation is the interface compatible with the low flow rate of CE, which can be as litde as a few nL min, compared with a typical sample introduction rate of 1 mL min into the fCP. Most interfaces reported in the Hterature contact the CE via a suitable Pt contact in a sheath buffer flow, which is mixed with the CE effluent, e. g. in a PEEK tee. As the total flow is significantly increased by the make-up flow, a conventional nebuliser can be used for sample introduction.

Catalyst characterization - Characterization of mixed metal oxides was performed by atomic emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma atomisation (ICP-AES) on a CE Instraments Sorptomatic 1990. NH3-TPD was nsed for the characterization of acid site distribntion. SZ (0.3 g) was heated up to 600°C using He (30 ml min ) to remove adsorbed components. Then, the sample was cooled at room temperatnre and satnrated for 2 h with 100 ml min of 8200 ppm NH3 in He as carrier gas. Snbseqnently, the system was flashed with He at a flowrate of 30 ml min for 2 h. The temperatnre was ramped np to 600°C at a rate of 10°C min. A TCD was used to measure the NH3 desorption profile. Textural properties were established from the N2 adsorption isotherm. Snrface area was calcnlated nsing the BET equation and the pore size was calcnlated nsing the BJH method. The resnlts given in Table 33.4 are in good agreement with varions literature data. 

In the controlled (constant) potential method the procedure starts and continues to work with the limiting current iu but as the ion concentration and hence its i, decreases exponentially with time, the course of the electrolysis slows down quickly and its completion lags behind therefore, one often prefers the application of a constant current. Suppose that we want to oxidize Fe(II) we consider Fig. 3.78 and apply across a Pt electrode (WE) and an auxiliary electrode (AE) an anodic current, -1, of nearly the half-wave current this means that the anodic potential (vs. an RE) starts at nearly the half-wave potential, Ei, of Fe(II) - Fe(III) (= 0.770 V), but increases with time, while the anodic wave height diminishes linearly and halfway to completion the electrolysis falls below - / after that moment the potential will suddenly increase until it attains the decomposition potential (nearly 2.4 V) of H20 -> 02. The way to prevent this from happening is to add previously a small amount of a so-called redox buffer, i.e., a reversible oxidant such as Ce(IV) with a standard... 

The term (ae/g) is called the seismic constant Ce, and is a function of the natural period of vibration of the vessel and the severity of the earthquake. Values of the seismic constant have been determined empirically from studies of the damage caused by earthquakes, and are available for those geographical locations which are subject to earthquake activity. Values for sites in the United States, and procedures for determining the stresses induced in tall columns are given by Megyesy (2001), Escoe (1994) and Moss (2003).

If the displacement from equilibrium is small, the term involving (A )2 is small compared to the term involving A . This condition implies that the terms (Ae + Be) and (Ce + De) are both very much greater in magnitude than A . Under these conditions equation 5.1.54 becomes... 

The working electrode is kept at zero potential by connecting it to the virtual ground of the electronics. A counter electrode CE (auxiliary electrode ae) is used to regulate the potential difference between the reference electrode and the working electrode, necessary for electrolysis of the analyte.
