In addition to using X-rays to irradiate a surface, ultraviolet light may be used as the source for photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). This technique, known as ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS, Figure 7.38), is usually carried out using two He lines (Hel at 21.2 eV and Hell at 40.8 eV), or a synchrotron source. This technique is often referred to as soft PES, since the low photon energy is not sufficient to excite the inner-shell electrons, but rather results in photoelectron emission from valence band electrons - useful to characterize surface species based on their bonding motifs. It should be noted that both UPS and XPS are often performed in tandem with an Ar" " source, allowing for chemical analysis of the sample at depths of < 1 J,m below the surface.

If formation wafer production is expected, a chemical analysis of the water will also be required. It is good practice to record the details of the methods used for sampling and analysis in each case so that measurement uncertainties can be assessed. 

Chemical analysis of the metal can serve various purposes. For the determination of the metal-alloy composition, a variety of techniques has been used. In the past, wet-chemical analysis was often employed, but the significant size of the sample needed was a primary drawback. Nondestmctive, energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry is often used when no high precision is needed. However, this technique only allows a surface analysis, and significant surface phenomena such as preferential enrichments and depletions, which often occur in objects having a burial history, can cause serious errors. For more precise quantitative analyses samples have to be removed from below the surface to be analyzed by means of atomic absorption (82), spectrographic techniques (78,83), etc. 

The sample meant here must not be confused -with a sample for chemical analysis. For a discussion of the sampling problem in statistics, see C. A. Bennett and N. L. Franklin, Statistical Analysis in Chemistry and the Chemical Industry, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1954. 

Gas-phase Kinetics. A better appreciation of the experiments to be discussed later will be obtained after a review of some experimental aspects of the transient method. Here we deal with experiments at atmospheric pressure. A flow sheet for kinetic measurements is given in Fig. 1, a descendant of that first given by Bennett et al. (15). Chemical analysis of the gases during transients is ideally done by a mass spectrometer, although Kobayashi and Kobayashi (4 ) used a number of gas chromatographs in order to get samples sufficiently frequently.

Second, no work has yet been done on the application of the transpiration method to the preparation of samples for chemical analysis. In this area the same strictures on odour sampling apply, even where sub-ambient-temperature trapping techniques are used. Especially where cryogenic trapping is proposed, preparation of the odour sample in the laboratory is a considerable advantage. 

About four years later in 1819, the Reverend Hans Morten Thrane Esmark (1801— 1882), an amateur mineralogist, found a black mineral in Norway and gave a sample of it to his father, a geology professor, for analysis. Unable to identify it, Professor Jens Esmark sent the sample for chemical analysis to Berzelius, who found that it contained 60% of a new type of earth oxide not recognized before. It was identified as the mineral thorite (ThSiO ). Berzelius reported his discovery in an 1829 publication and retained the name thorium, in honor of Thor, the Norse god of war. Berzelius is thus credited with thorium s discovery. 

The sample surface is bombarded with an incident high energy electron beam, and the action of this beam produces electron changes in the target atoms the net result is the ejection of Auger electrons, which are the characteristics of the element. Because of the small depth and small spot size of analysis, this process is most often used for chemical analysis of microscopic surface features. 

The most variable aspect of carbon tetrachloride analysis is the procedure used to separate carbon tetrachloride from the medium and prepare a sample suitable for GC analysis. As a volatile organic compound of relatively low water solubility, carbon tetrachloride is easily lost from biological and environmental samples, so appropriate care must be exercised in handling and storing such samples for chemical analysis. Brief summaries of the methods available for extraction and detection of carbon tetrachloride in biological and environmental samples are provided below. 

To investigate further the chemical characteristics of potential alternative emulsifiers, the water-soluble fractions (WSFs) of each emulsifier were measured [61]. The samples were analyzed for total recovered hydrocarbons (TRH) in the C10-C36 region and PAHs [3, 62]. The chemical analysis of the emulsifier WSFs did not detect PAHs. Consequently, in the future, use of low-fluorescence emulsifiers in the reformulated Syndrill 80 20 (Mod) will allow the measurement of biliary fluorescence as a biomarker of exposure in field-caught fish attracted to cutting piles, with any detected fluorescence eliminating the drilling mud Syndrill 80 20 (Mod) as a source of fluorescent metabolites in the biliary secretions. 

Bulk chemical analysis of the solids. The three rock types were chemically analyzed by neutron activation (NAA) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF). The resulting data (not included in this report) were used for depth-of-leaching calculations given below. With the measurement of volatile components in the basalt and shale, the total measured abundances in all three samples was close to 100 percent. 

This chapter presents the results of studies on cartridge design for evaluation using fortified water samples and the application of the modified cartridge to obtain residual organic compounds for chemical analysis of field samples of drinking water. The biological activity results have already been reported elsewhere (11).

The symmetry of both materials is orthorhombic, comprising single reflections at 20 = 24.4° and 29.3°. As expected, calcined silicalite-1 has monoclinic symmetry, which is indicated by doublets at the respective value of 20. A similar change has been observed for TS-1 molecular sieves in comparison to silicalite-1 This is taken as strong evidence for the incorporation of Ti into the MFI framework [14]. The results of the chemical analysis of the calcined samples are summarized in Table 1.
