Addition of thiourea and hydrochloric acid: Accurate nanogram level analysis of mercury in humic-rich natural waters by inductively coupled plasma ma…
2020
Abstract An analytical method was developed for the direct determination of total mercury in natural waters at low ng L−1 level by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The presented method overcomes previously observed problems relating to poor spike recoveries by adding 0.12% thiourea in addition to 3% HCl to all samples and standards. The sample preparation is fast and easy to perform by the developed method since it requires only the addition of HCl and thiourea to the water samples. A very low instrument detection limit (0.4 ng L−1) was obtained without time-consuming preconcentration procedures. The accuracy and precision of the developed method were found excellent b…
High performance liquid chromatography—atomic fluorescence spectrometric determination of arsenic species in beer samples
2003
Abstract A method has been developed for the direct determination of As(III), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and As(V) in beers by hydride generation—atomic fluorescence spectrometry after separation of arsenic species by high performance liquid chromatography. Compounds were separated by anion-exchange chromatography with isocratic elution using KH 2 PO 4 /K 2 HPO 4 as mobile phase with elution times of 1.67, 2.08, 6.52 and 10.72 min for As(III), DMA, MMA and As(V), respectively. Parameters affecting the hydride generation of all arsenic species were studied and the best conditions were established as a reaction coil of 150 cm, for a sample injected volume of 100 …
Determination of inorganic species of Sb and Te in cereals by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry
2011
A non-chromatographic fast, sensitive and easy method has been developed for the determination of Sb(III), Sb(V), Te(IV) and Te(VI) in cereal samples. The procedure is based on ultrasound assisted extraction and determination by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG AFS). Preliminary studies were made in order to get the best extraction efficiency using 1 mol L-1 phosphoric acid, 1 mol L-1 nitric acid, aqua regia, 1 mol L-1 sulfuric acid and 6 mol L-1 hydrochloric acid. The extraction with aquaregia showed a clear interconversion of the species during the process, being H2SO4 the best extractant with efficiencies greater than 90% from the total content of Sb and Te quantif…
Determination of sulfide in waters by flow-injection solid phase spectrophotometry
2000
A highly sensitive flow injection solid-phase spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of sulfide in waters. The method is based on the formation of Methylene Blue (MB) by reaction between sulfide and N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine chloride in presence of Fe(III) in acidic medium. The MB formed was adsorbed on C18 bonded silica, located inside a laboratory-made flow cell, which was placed in the optical path of the spectrophotometer. Analyte retention and detection at 666 nm were performed simultaneously, followed by elution with a mixture of methanol and hydrochloric acid. Several variables of the system, such as amine concentration, acidity of the reaction medium, re…
Atomic fluorescence determination of inorganic arsenic in soils after microwave-assisted distillation
2000
Abstract An inexpensive microwave-assisted distillation procedure has been developed for quantitative determination of inorganic arsenic in soils by atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). After reduction of As(V) to its trivalent state with potassium iodide, inorganic arsenic was distilled as AsCl 3 that was finally determined by atomic fluorescence after hydride generation with NaBH 4 in HCl medium. The different parameters that control the distillation: concentration and volume of HCl, time of distillation, sample weight, and oven load, were studied. The methodology developed has a detection limit of 0.015 μg l −1 , which corresponds to a concentration of 0.006 μg of As per gram of soil,…
The Dissociation Constant of Pyruvic Acid: Determination by Spectrophotometric Measurements
1991
Aqueous solutions of sodium pyruvate/hydrochloric acid mixtures were studied with regard to changes in the intensity of optical absorption at 317 nm wavelength, caused by varying pH and temperature. The data were evaluated to determine the pyruvic acid apparent dissociation constant at infinite dilution. Its temperature dependence followed the relation ln Kod = −(0.55 ± 0.47) − (1538 ± 135)/T or, if previous results of Pedersen at two temperatures are included, In Kod = −(0.97 ± 0.35) − (1418 ± 102)T. The effective absorption coefficient for pyruvic acid and its anion differ because the former species is largely hydrated, whereas the latter is not. The known hydration constant and its tempe…
Effect of additives on process stability of mesophilic anaerobic monodigestion of pig slaughterhouse waste
2012
The effect of two additives on anaerobic monodigestion of pig slaughterhouse waste was studied in three laboratory scale continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) operated for 242-284 days at 35°C. A higher organic loading rate (OLR), namely 2.25 kg volatile solids (VS)/m(3)d with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 30 d was feasible with an additive containing Fe, HCl and trace elements while an OLR of 1.5 kg VS/m(3)d (HRT 30 d) led to instabilities in CSTR with an additive consisting of Fe and HCl and in CSTR without additives. Methane yields of ca. 700 dm(3) CH(4)/kg VS(fed) were obtained in all reactors under stable conditions. Both additives decreased H(2)S concentration of the biogas…
Determination of essential metals in complete diet feed by flow injection and flame atomic absorption spectrometry
2002
A prior study of different sample pre-treatments for the determination of metallic elements in complete diet feeds was performed in order to choose the most suitable for these samples. The studied pre-treatment were: acid extraction (lixiviation), wet digestion (on microwave oven) and dry ashing mineralization (calcination). Lixiviation (acid extraction) with hydrochloric acid was selected due to its accuracy, fast and simple pre-treatment procedure. Due of the different levels of concentration of the metallic elements in the samples, the same manifold was used but with small variations. Copper (with on-line pre-concentration by chelating Chelex-100 resin), calcium (with on-line dilution) a…
Inhibitoren der Korrosion 22 (1) - Einfluß von pH, Sauerstoff, Fremdionen, Art und Konzentration von Säuren auf den Korrosionsverlauf von Aluminium
1978
Die Korrosion von Aluminium unter Sauerstoff verlauft praktisch unabhangig vom pH-Wert, und zwar sowohl unter Sauerstoffverbrauch als auch unter Wasserstoffentwicklung. Dieses Verhalten wird sowohl in einer Acetatpuffer/Natriumchloridlosung als auch in anorganischen (Salpeter-, Schwefel-Phosphor- und Salzsaure) als auch in organischen Sauren gefunden. Bei den organischen Sauren sind die Ergebnisse jedoch nicht so eindeutig; in Essigsaure wird die Korrosionsgeschwindigkeit durch Natriumchloridzusatz nicht beeinflust, ebenso in Ameisensaure, wahrend Oxalsaure nur bei Anwesenheit von Natriumchlorid Wasserstoff entwickelt. Zitronensaure bewirkt uberhaupt keine Wasserstoffentwicklung. Als am bes…
The Reaction of 4-Amino-2-oxazolines with Isocyanates and Isothiocyanates. Synthesis and X-Ray Structures of Polysubstituted 2-Imidazolidinones, 1,3-…
2006
Abstract Reactions of 4-alkylamino-2-phenyl-2-oxazolines 1 with isocyanates and isothiocyanates provide unprecedented efficient and regioselective heterocycle–heterocycle transformations. Compounds 1 reacted rapidly with tosyl isocyanate yielding directly 3-alkyl-4-benzamido-1-tosyl-2-imidazolidinones 4 in almost quantitative yields. The corresponding ureido intermediates 2 were not isolable species. However, the reactions with non-sulfonylated isocyanates or isothiocyanates were slower, leading to the expected ureido and thioureido derivatives 5, which were easily and efficiently transformed to either polysubstituted 2-imino-1,3-oxazolidine or 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidine hydrochlorides 7, res…
