Determinant elements

At X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) of samples of the limited weight is perspective to prepare for specimens as polymeric films on a basis of methylcellulose [1]. By the example of definition of heavy metals in film specimens have studied dependence of intensity of X-ray radiation from their chemical compound, surface density (P ) and the size (D) particles of the powder introduced to polymer. Have theoretically established, that the basic source of an error of results XRF is dependence of intensity (F) analytical lines of determined elements from a specimen. Thus the best account of variations P provides a method of the internal standard at change P from 2 up to 6 mg/sm the coefficient of variation describing an error of definition Mo, Zn, Cu, Co, Fe and Mn in a method of the direct external standard, reaches 40 %, and at use of a method of the internal standard (an element of comparison Ga) value does not exceed 2,2 %. Experiment within the limits of a casual error (V changes from 2,9 up to 7,4 %) has confirmed theoretical conclusions. 

Have compared intensity F, measured from the films prepared by introduction of an analyzed material to polymer in a various aggregative stations as a powder, a solution and a mix of a powder with a solution. The weight of an introduced material (in recalculation on superficial density P ) changed from 0,14 up to 0,43 mg/cm. Have established, that in some cases the value I, measured from films with a powder, it is essential ( 40 %) less the value I, measured from films with a solution, containing identical quantity of determined elements. By using of methods of a standard - background and internal standard this decrease is saved. 

Density of colloids and concentration of determined elements in them are lower than in the solid samples but a little more than in the solution. 

The optimum conditions of heavy metals extraction from ordinary chernozem in different solvents are selected both at determination of the mobile forms of elements, and at an estimation of their gross contents. It is established, that the stage of elements extraction in the greater measure depends on time of action and intensity of ultrasonic, nature of selected solvents and determinated elements. It is shown, that for all type of soils the time of low frequency ultrasonic action does not exceed 10 minutes, and the intensity ranges in an interval of 3-4 W/cm. ... 

M.15 In addition to determining elemental composition of pure unknown compounds, combustion analysis can be used to determine the purity of known compounds. A sample of 2-naphthol, C)0H7OH, which is used to prepare antioxidants to incorporate into synthetic rubber, was found to be contaminated with a small amount of LiBr. The combustion analysis of this sample gave the following results 77.48% C and 5.20% H. Assuming that the only species present are 2-naphthol and I.iBr, calculate the percentage purity by mass of the sample. 

Clem and Hodgson [27] discuss the temporal release of traces of cadmium and lead in bay water from EDTA, ammonium pyrollidine-dithiocarbamate, humic acid and tannic acid after treatment of the sample with ozone. Anodic scanning voltammetry was used to determine elements. 

Spark source mass spectrometry is used for the examination of non-volatile inorganic samples and residues to determine elemental composition. An RF spark of about 30 kV is passed between two electrodes, one of which may be the sample itself, causing vaporization and ionization. Powdered samples or residues from ashed organic materials can be formed into an electrode after mixing with pure graphite powder. 

Acidity (pH) and redox-potential (Eh) of melted snow samples were measured by conventional methods using a Yokogawa pH 81 ionometer. The main cations and anions in the melted snow fraction were determined by titrimetric analysis. In group 1 (Institute of Mineralogy UB RAS), AAS (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Pb, Cd) and titrimetric analysis (Ca, Mg, S, Cl, C) were performed to determine elements in melted snow and solid residue upon filtrating 1 liter snow sample through a 0.5 micrometer pore size filter. 

Snow, especially its water-soluble fraction, is one of the most sensitive and informative indicators of mass-transfer in the chain air - soil - drinking water. Therefore analytical data on snow-melt samples were selected for inter-laboratory quality control. Inter-laboratory verification of analytical results estimated in all the groups have shown that relative standard errors for the concentrations of all the determined elements do not exceed (5-15)% in the concentration range 0.01 - 10000 microg/1, which is consistent with the metrological characteristics of the methods employed. All analytical data collected by different groups of analysts were tested for reliability and... 

X-ray methods include x-ray diffraction, x-ray absorption, and x-ray fluorescence. X-ray diffraction is a technique for determining ultrasmall spacings in materials, such as the spacings between the atoms or ions in a crystal structure, or the thickness of a thin electroplated material. An example of the former is in soil laboratories in which the minerals in various soils need to be characterized. X-ray absorption is limited in application, but has been used to determine heavy elements in a matrix of lighter elements, such as determining lead in gasoline. X-ray fluorescence is much more popular and is used to determine elements in a wide variety of solid materials. 

Single-crystal X-ray determination, elemental analysis, and mass-spectroscopy are used for the characterisation of complexes and products. Cyclic voltammetry, EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy), NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and IR can also be used to determine electronic properties of the ligands and their complexes [7],...
