Newly discovered orichalcum ingots from Mediterranean sea: Further investigation
2021
Abstract In February 2016, 47 ingots were found in the seabed of Contrada Bulala (Gela, CL, Italy) near the site where 40 ingots had previously been recovered. The ingots composition was determined to be a Cu - Zn alloy, dated by the archaeologist to the VI century B.C. This specific alloy was then known as Orichalcum. From an archaeological point of view, the first question raised about the new discovery was whether the ingots of the first and the second excavations belonged to the same shipwreck. Following the previous study, an elemental analysis was performed on the ingots from the second finding by using ICP-OS and ICP-MS techniques. The chemometric treatment of the analytical results …

CVG-ICP-OES -menetelmän käyttö elohopean analysointiin eläinkudoksesta
2015
Tässä Pro gradu –tutkielmassa käsitellään elohopean määritystä eläinkudoksesta kemiallinen höyryn muodostus induktiivisesti kytketty plasma optinen emissio spektrometria –menetelmällä (CVG-ICP-OES) ja siihen liittyvää näytteenkäsittelyä. Tutkimuksen kirjallisessa osassa käydään läpi muun muassa eri näytteenliuotusmenetelmiä, analyysimenetelmiä, tutkittavien metallien pelkistämistä CVG-ICP-OES –analyysiä varten ja CVG-ICP-OES –analyysissä esiintyviä häiriöitä. Näytteenliuotusosassa keskitytään pääasiassa tutkimuksessa käytetyn ultraäänihajotuksen esittelyyn, tämän lisäksi myös muita yleisiä näytteenliuotusmenetelmiä esitetään. Analyysimenetelmä osiossa suurin huomio keskittyy ICP-OES –laitte…
Seleeni- ja elohopeapitoisuuksien määrittäminen biologisista näytteistä CVG-ICP-OES -menetelmällä
2016
Tämän Pro gradu -tutkielman kirjallisessa osassa käsitellään monipuolisesti elohopeaa ja seleeniä käyden läpi muun muassa niiden ominaisuuksia ja käyttökohteita, niiden vaikutusta terveyteen, sekä määriä ravinnossa ja muissa lähteissä. Tämän lisäksi kirjoitelmassa käsitellään näytteenkäsittelymenetelmistä ultraääni- ja mikroaaltohajotukset, sekä kemialliseen höyryn muodostukseen mahdollisesti tarvittu esipelkistys. Analyysimenetelmänä läpi käydään kokeellisessa osassa käytetyn induktiivisesti kytketty plasma-optinen emissiospektrometri (ICP-OES) -laitteen tekniikkaa, sekä kemiallisen höyryn muodostuksen periaatteet ja siinä käytetty laitteisto. Myös mahdolliset mittauksissa esiintyvät häiri…
Monthly Bonaire coral Sr/Ca and oxygen isotope data from 118 kyr ago (coral BON-5-D)
2015
The end of the last interglacial period, ~118 kyr ago, was characterized by substantial ocean circulation and climate perturbations resulting from instabilities of polar ice sheets. These perturbations are crucial for a better understanding of future climate change. The seasonal temperature changes of the tropical ocean, however, which play an important role in seasonal climate extremes such as hurricanes, floods and droughts at the present day, are not well known for this period that led into the last glacial. Here we present a monthly resolved snapshot of reconstructed sea surface temperature in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean for 117.7±0.8 kyr ago, using coral Sr/Ca and d18O records. W…
Major and Trace Element Geochemistry of the European Kupferschiefer – An Evaluation of Analytical Techniques
2018
Simple and rapid techniques are needed for routine quantitative chemical bulk-rock analyses of Kupferschiefer, a black shale containing variable amounts of silicates, base metal sulphides, carbonates and an organic content of up to 30 weight percent. In this study, WD-XRF, TXRF, and ICP-OES of acid- as well as peroxide-digested samples were tested as potential techniques based on their availability and adaptability to analyse major (Si, Ti, Al, Mg, Ca, Fe, K, but also Cu, Zn, Pb) and selected trace (Ag, As, Ba, Co, Mo, Ni, V) element concentrations. Because of the absence of a suitable reference material, a comparative study was undertaken using instrumental neutron activation analysis to a…
Development and Optimization of Pre-Concentration Procedure of Rare-Earth Elements (REEs) in Their Minerals, Using Microwave - Assisted Sample Dissol…
2015
Abstract The aim of this research was to develop and optimize a procedure for determination of REEs in xenotime and monazite samples collected from Bangka Island, which were compared to Standard Monazite (71 AG) of Bureau of Analyzed Samples, London. ICP-OES method was used for the determination. The samples were dried and sterilized by heating for a week at 110 °C, before digesting with nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, using a microwave-assisted digestion system. After a careful line selection, at the detection limits for all REEs in the ng/mL the REEs were reliably obtained at the 0.09 – 38% level.
(Table 1) Geochemistry of ODP Site 160-963 sediments
2010
The Mediterranean Sea acts as a miniature ocean with the development of its own conveyor belt. It constitutes an ideal location to study and forecast how the marine environment responds to rapid climatic change. Here we present a palaeoenvironmental study carried out on the sediments of ODP Site 963, recovered in the Sicily Channel, the sill which divides the western from the eastern Mediterranean basin. We focused on the transition between the penultimate glacial (MIS 6) and the last interglacial (MIS 5), between approximately 130 and 115 kyr BP. A novel approach is proposed, taking into account centennial-scale geochemical data on major elements, selected trace elements, and yttrium and R…
Corrosion resistance of passive films on different stainless steel grades in food and beverage industry
2020
Abstract Passive films were grown on 304 L, 316 L and Duplex stainless steels by immersion at open circuit potential in solutions mimicking food and beverage industry environments. In acidic food stainless steel surfaces are covered by Cr rich passive films, and generalized dissolution occurs on their surface with consequent ions release into the electrolyte. In fatty food the concentration of released ions is significantly lower since generalized corrosion does not occur, but the loss on MnS inclusions strongly reduces the polarization resistance in this environment especially for 304 L due to its higher localized corrosion susceptibility with respect to the other grades.
Microanalytical characterization of decorations in handmade ancient floor tiles using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-O…
2013
In this study a total of 114 glazed decorations of 42 ceramic floor tiles, manufactured in Sicily fromthe 16th to 19 the 21th AD, were investigated. The micro sampling method, proposed by us, using a cotton swab soaked in hydrofluoric acid, includes advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, simplicity, speed, not expensive and can be considered non-destructive because the point of sampling remains invisible to the human eye. ICP-OES technique was used in this study. Twenty-four elements (Al, As, B, Be, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Si, Sn, Ti, V and Zn) were determined in each colored enamel. Enameled decorations in Sicilian tiles were varied in tones an…
