Sample inorganic acid

Airborne inorganic acids exist in the industrial environment in the form of both vapors and particulates. This study was undertaken to answer a need for a simple sampling and analytical method for monitoring both vaporous and aerosol acid contaminants quantitatively. 

Ion chromatography (IC) offers the analytical tool for the determination of each of the inorganic acids in a single sample. The principle of ion chromatography is the separation and measurement of ions in solution using ion exchange resins, background suppression, and conductimetric detection (5). 

Sample Stability. The stability of inorganic acid samples on the silica gel collection tubes was determined by storing samples for a period of 10 days. Twelve 3-hour acid mist samples were generated at an air concentration equivalent to... 

This work has demonstrated that sorbent tubes are viable samplers for inorganic acid mists existing as vapors and aerosols. A silica gel sampling tube was developed which will collect at least a 4-hour sample of inorganic acid at a nominal flow rate of 0.2 Lpm. The optimum sampler geometry was determined to be a 7-mm O.D./4.8-mm I.D. glass tube packed with 20-40 mesh washed silica gel, 700 mg in the primary section and 200 mg in the backup. 

The analytical method by which all the inorganic acids may be analyzed in a single sample is ion chromatography. Using the stated instrumental conditions the analytical range is... 

Airborne inorganic acids exist in the workplace environment as both vapors and particulates. To monitor for the common inorganic acids, a single, non-liquid sampling device to collect both vaporous and aerosol contaminants quantitatively, and an analytical method to determine these acids in a single sample was desired.

Ultimately, a single sampling device was designed which collected both the vaporous and particulate forms of inorganic acids with subsequent analysis by ion chromatography. 

The properties of Ge(OR)4 allow them to be considered more likely to be the esters of an inorganic acid than metal alkoxides these are colorless volatile liquids, containing monomeric tetrahedral molecules. The solid crystalline form is known only for R = Bu, OC6Hnc, and also 2,6-substituted phenoxides. All the members of the Ge(OR)4 homologous series are characterized by thoroughly determined physical characteristics — density, refraction index, surface tension, viscosity (and calculated parachor values), dipole moments in different solvents [222, 857, 1537] (Table 12.9). The results of the investigation of vapor pressure, density, viscosity polytherms, and so on. permitted rectification for the preparation of samples of high purity for sol-gel and MOCVD applications [682, 884]. 

We worked with a variety of synthetic silicates and their modifications by various physical or chemical treatments or by various chemical additives. We particularly evaluated many synthetic hydrated calcium silicates, with and without additional treatments. These treatments included various organic and inorganic acid compounds, organic surface-active agents, and inorganic salts. We also studied samples dried to remove free moisture and/or some water of hydration. The modifications were selected to effect favorably the properties of the carriers.

Organoelements and complexed forms of modifiers, which are useful when samples or analytes are transferred into organic phases such as extracts, leachates, oils, fats, petroleum products, organometal [lead acetate or acetylaeetonate] solutions, etc. Inorganic acids (HNO H3PO4) and bases (aqueous ammonia). 

On the other hand, the capability of sample preconcentration for instruments such as AAS, ICP-AES, ICP-MS, and so forth was studied [3]. After metal ions were enriched, they were eluted almost simultaneously by inorganic acid at low pH, because of their diffusion in the column is at a disadvantage for improvement of the detection limits. It has been demonstrated that metal ions such as Ca, Cd, Mg, Mn, Pb, and Zn were enriched with a good recovery at a concentration of 10 ppb each in 500 mL of the sample solution. However, the final enriched sample volume eluted from the CCC column was as large as several milliliters, due to longitudinal diffusion of the sample band in the retained stationary phase [1,3]. Additional band spreading occurred in the flow tube when the concentrated solution was eluted with an acid solution for subsequent analysis.

Concentrated HCOOH is usually 88% in strength. Since formic acid is a volatile acid, precautions should be taken to prevent loss of strength in the sample preparation stage. The concentration of formic acid can be determined by acid-base titration as well as by redox titration owing to the reduction power of formic acid. The acid-base titration is conducted just like the titration for the inorganic acids mentioned above. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator. 

Note. For prior separation of the noble metals, adjust the concentration of the inorganic acid in the sample solution to about 1 M, and shake the solution in a separating funnel with 0.1-0.2 ml portions of a 0.001% dithizone solution in CCI4 until the green colour changes to yellow. Discontinue the extraction when the last portion of the CCI4 solution turns violet, and add this portion to the subsequent (vide supra) Cu(HDz)2 extract. 

Process chemicals Include such diverse materials as Inorganic acids, hydrocarbon solvents, halogenated solvents, alcohols, and organic acids. The analysis of a trlchloroethane sample is shown in Table VI as illustrative of the utility of SSMS to analyze this entire range of materials. As in the previous example, a known volume of the solvent was pipetted onto high purity graphite, warmed to evaporate the matrix, and pressed into electrodes.
