Systematic procedure for the preparation of sets of calibration standards for x-ray fluorescence analysis of ceramic materials
1998
A systematic procedure for the preparation of optimized sets of calibration solid standards for the x-ray fluorescence analysis of ceramic materials is described. The matrix of the contents of the N analytes in the n standards (n ≥ N) is calculated from an n x N experimental design matrix, and from the upper and lower limits of the calibration range for each of the N analytes. Two procedures, which are useful for taking into account analyte interactions, are proposed for constructing the experimental design matrix, i.e. the scroll procedure and the procedure of the centers. A program developed to help the analyst in designing and preparing the set of standards following the proposed procedu…
Reliability of the capacity factor at zero micellar concentration and the solute-micelle association constant estimates by micellar liquid chromatogr…
1997
In micellar liquid chromatography, MLC, the hydrophobicity of a compound is the predominant effect on its retention and interaction with micelles. The capacity factors at zero micellar concentration, k(m), and the solute-micelle association constants, KAM- have recently been used as the hydrophobicity index of compounds and are important in QSAR studies. These parameters could be estimated (by regression) from the (k,[M]) data, where k is the capacity factor and [M] the surfactant concentration minus the critical micelle concentration. km and KAM are usually obtained from the intercept and slope, respectively, of the plot 1/k vs. [M]. In spite of the general use of this equation, the reliab…
