Magnesium standard curve

Set a suitable atomic absorption spectrophotometer to a wavelength of 285.2 nm. Adjust the instrument to zero absorbance against water. Prepare and read the absorbance of four aqueous solutions containing 5, 10, 25, and 50 p,g/mL of magnesium, in the form of the chloride, and plot the standard curve as absorbance versus concentration of magnesium. 

Aspirate the Sample Solution prepared for the Aluminum Oxide determination into the spectrophotometer, read the absorbance in the same manner, and by reference to the standard curve, determine the concentration (Q of magnesium, in micrograms per milliliter, in the Sample Solution. 

The Titan yellow method produces a red color in a sodium hydroxide solution when magnesium is present and a yellow-brown color in the absence of Mg [97]. The reagents required for the Titan yellow procedure are 0.15% Titan yellow, 1.0% CaCl2 in 0.01 M HCl, NaOH, 5% hydroxylamine hydrochloride, polyvinyl alcohol, and a standard magnesium solution. The analysis entails pipetting an aliquot of the acidified sample into a 50 mL volumetric test tube. The sample is then neutralized with NaOH. Thirty-five milliliters of H2O, 1.0 mL of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 1.0 mL of CaCl2, 0.2 g of polyvinyl alcohol, 1.0 mL of Titan yellow, and 5.0 mL of NaOH are added to the neutralized sample and diluted to 50 mL. Absorbance is read at 535 nm and is compared against a standard curve [3]. 

Measure the extinctions at 520 m/ of the supernatant liquids from the first and third flasks, using 2-cm cells with the supernatant liquid from the second flask in the comparison cell in each case. From a standard curve, read the //g of calcium equivalent to the extinction of the sample solution, corrected if necessary for the extinction of the internal standard. If the sample contains an excessive amount of calcium repeat using a smaller aliquot of the sample solution diluted to 5 0 ml with the calcium-free magnesium carbonate solution. 

Prepare the standard curve as follows. Into each of a series of eight 25-ml graduated flasks pipette 5 ml of the calcium-free magnesium carbonate solution and then add, respectively, 0 ml, 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml, 4 ml,... 

Read the amount of magnesium equivalent to the extinction from a standard curve prepared by carrying out the entire operation described above on suitable aliquots of a standard magnesium solution covering the range 0 to 100 of magnesium. As a check, one or two standards should be taken through the procedure each time a sample is assayed.

Method. Depending on the calcium and magnesium content in the water, the analyst should dilute the sample such that the observed analyte absorbance falls on the linear portion of the calibration curve of the atomic absorption instrument. Prior to dilution, add 10 ml of the lanthanum-hydrochloric acid solution to the sample in a 100 ml volumetric flask. Dilute with water to the mark. Blanks and standards should also be prepared to the same concentration with the lanthanum chloride reagent. Having optimised the instrument conditions, samples, standards and blanks are aspirated into an air—acetylene flame.

The spectra of the radicals and magnetic nanoparticles were recorded at room temperature using Bruker EMX 8/2.7 X-band spectrometer at a microwave power of 5 mW, modulation frequency 100 kHz and amplitude 1 G. The first derivative of the resonance absorption curve was detected. The samples were placed into the cavity of the spectrometer in a quartz flat cell. Magnesium oxide powder containing Mn ions was used as an external standard in ESR experiments. Average amount of spin labels on protein macromolecules reached 1 per 4-5 albumin macromolecules and 1 per 2-3 thrombin macromolecules. Rotational correlation times of labels were evaluated as well as a fraction of labels with slow motion (x > 1 ns). 

Claeys-Thoreau (1982) and DeBenzo et al. (1990) diluted blood samples at a ratio of 1 10 with a matrix modifier (0.2% Triton X-100, a wetting agent) for direct determinations of CDB. DeBenzo et al. also demonstrated that aqueous standards of cadmium, instead of spiked, whole-blood samples, could be used to establish calibration curves if standards and samples are treated with additional small volumes of matrix modifiers (i.e., 1% HNO3, 0.2% ammonium hydrogenphosphate and 1 mg/ml magnesium salts). 

The method has no salt factor. Prepare the calibration curve by using the working standard solution described under 2b in Section 12.5.2.2 and by following the procedure outlined for analysis of the sample. However, since the working standard solutions do not contain any magnesium salt, the centrifugation step after the heating process is not necessary. The amount of NaOH solution necessary to establish the reaction pH of about 10.5 should be determined in a pre-treatment e qieriment. 

Concentration calibration is carried out by compounding standard mixtures containing 10%, 3.16%, 1%, 0.32% and 0.1% sodium carbonate in magnesium sulphate. Spectral line intensity ratios corresponding to these sodium concentrations are obtained using the same spectrographic procedure as for the samples. An analytical curve is established relating log intensity ratio and log concentration for the standard and by interpolation of the sample log intensity ratios in this curve the sodium concentration in the ash is obtained. 

NMX standard. Figure 2.16 shows the obtained polarization curves in the simulated backfill solution. It is clear that the slope of each polarization curve is different for each specimen in each environment. This difference can be associated with the different corrosion rates as related to the chemical composition of the magnesium alloys. The polarization curves show that the pure Mg anode (Ml) is more active by 36 mV if compared with that of M3. The calculated corrosion rates of pure Mg Ml and M2, M3 alloys (icon- in mA/cm ) are 0.0079, 0.0072 and 0.046, showing the accelerating influence of impurities (alloy M3) and the beneficial content of manganese combined with fewer impurities (M2).
