Manganese analysis

In order to show the effect of total salt quantity in the atomizer, a series of injections were made for cadmium and manganese analysis with different volumes of solution but with the same total quantity of the analysis metal present per injection. Three series of injections were made—in distilled water, in seawater, and in seawater diluted to maintain the total salt quantity per injection constant. The results are shown in Figures 15 and 16 for manganese and cadmium, respectively. It is... 

The anhydrous salts must in general be obtained by dry reactions or by using non-aqueous solvents. Thus MnCl2 is made by reaction of chlorine with the metal or of HC1 with the metal, the oxide or the carbonate. The sulfate, MnS04, is obtained on fuming down sulfuric acid solutions. It is quite stable and may be used for manganese analysis provided no other cations giving non-volatile sulfates are present. 

Of the solid state analysis methods, namely, neutron activation analysis (NAA), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and arc/spark emission spectroscopy, only NAA has found wide application for manganese analysis of biological samples. Although Birks et al. [102] claim high sensitivity for XRF analysis of manganese in freeze-dried samples, there are problems of standardization of the technique at low manganese concentrations, while solid emission spectroscopy suffers markedly from electrode contamination. On the other hand, NAA has both a high specificity and sensitivity... 

An excellent coverage of manganese analysis with reference to ESR speciation is given by Ash [111]. 

The amount of iron and manganese in an alloy can be determined by precipitating the metals with 8-hydroxyquinoline, C9H7NO. After weighing the mixed precipitate, the precipitate is dissolved and the amount of 8-hydroxyquinoline determined by another method. In a typical analysis, a 127.3-mg sample of an alloy containing iron, manganese, and other metals was dissolved in acid and... 

Micronutrients. Attention to meeting the micronutrient needs of crops has greatiy increased as evidenced in an analysis undertaken by TVA and the Soil Science Society in 1972 (99). The micronutrient elements most often found wanting in soil—crop situations are boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc. Some of these essential micronutrients can be harmful to plants when used in excess. 

Commercial primary magnesium has a typical purity of 99.8%, which is sufficient for most chemical and metallurgical uses. A typical analysis might be expected to show about 0.003% each of aluminum and copper, 0.04% iron, 0.08% manganese, 0.001% nickel, and 0.005% siHcon. Primary magnesium is available in five grades (Table 3). Considerably higher purity can be obtained by distillation. 

The iodide method can also be appHed to the analysis of other manganese species, but mixtures of permanganate, manganate, and MnO interfere with one another in the iodometric method. 

A detailed review of the methods for deterrnination of low manganese concentration in water and waste is available (179). A review on the speciation of Mn in fresh waters has been reported (180). Reviews for the chemical analysis of Mn in seawater, soil and plants, and air are presented in References 181, 182, and 183, respectively.

Analysis. Butenes are best characterized by their property of decolorizing both a solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride and a cold, dilute, neutral permanganate solution (the Baeyer test). A solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride is red the dihaUde, like the butenes, are colorless. Decoloration of the bromine solution is rapid. In the Baeyer test, a purple color is replaced by brown manganese oxide (a precipitate) and a colorless diol. These tests apply to all alkenes. 

This method is used for the determination of total chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), beiylhum (Be), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), phosphorus (P), thalhum (Tl), silver (Ag), antimony (Sb), barium (Ba), and mer-cuiy (Hg) stack emissions from stationaiy sources. This method may also be used for the determination of particulate emissions fohowing the procedures and precautions described. However, modifications to the sample recoveiy and analysis procedures described in the method for the purpose of determining particulate emissions may potentially impacl the front-half mercury determination. 

In report discuss the methodical aspects determination of magnesium, manganese, cobalt, zinc to their joint presence in nitric, sulphuric, chloric salts, and peculiarity of the analysis using to solid solutions of the hydrated diphosphates. 

Samples Analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Metals — Where two or more of the following analytes are requested on the same filter, an ICP analysis may be conducted. However, the Industrial Hygienist should specify the metals of interest in the event samples cannot be analyzed by the ICP method. A computer print-out of the following 13 analytes may be typically reported Antimony, Beryllium, Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Vanadium, Zinc. Arsenic — Lead, cadmium, copper, and iron can be analyzed on the same filter with arsenic. 

The decomposition process can be significantly intensified by the mechanical activation of the material prior to chemical decomposition. Based on a thermodynamic analysis of the system, Akimov and Chernyak [452] showed that the mechanical activation initiates dislocations mostly on the surface of the grains, and that heterogeneities in the surface cause the predominant migration of iron and manganese to the grain boundaries. It is noted that this phenomenon is more pronounced for manganese than it is for iron. 

Analysis of the volumetric effects indicates that as a result of such mechanical activation, iron and manganese are concentrated in the extended part of the crystal, while tantalum and niobium are predominantly collected in the compressed part of the distorted crystal structure. It is interesting to note that this effect is more pronounced in the case of tantalite than it is for columbite, due to the higher rigidity of the former. Akimov and Chernyak [452] concluded that the effect of redistribution of the ions might cause the selective predominant dissolution of iron and manganese during the interaction with sulfuric acid and other acids. 

The solubility of the precipitates encountered in quantitative analysis increases with rise of temperature. With some substances the influence of temperature is small, but with others it is quite appreciable. Thus the solubility of silver chloride at 10 and 100 °C is 1.72 and 21.1mgL 1 respectively, whilst that of barium sulphate at these two temperatures is 2.2 and 3.9 mg L 1 respectively. In many instances, the common ion effect reduces the solubility to so.small a value that the temperature effect, which is otherwise appreciable, becomes very small. Wherever possible it is advantageous to filter while the solution is hot the rate of filtration is increased, as is also the solubility of foreign substances, thus rendering their removal from the precipitate more complete. The double phosphates of ammonium with magnesium, manganese or zinc, as well as lead sulphate and silver chloride, are usually filtered at the laboratory temperature to avoid solubility losses.
