Development of a new method for the separation of vanadium species and chloride interference removal using modified silica capillaries-DIN-ICP-MS

2004

Abstract A new on-line method for the separation of vanadium (IV) and vanadium (V) as well as for the removal of ClO+ mass spectral interference on vanadium determination by quadrupole-ICP-MS has been developed. The sample introduction system consists of a modified fused silica capillary coupled to a direct injection nebuliser (DIN), between the solvent delivery system and the ICP. Fused silica capillaries were treated with different anion and cation exchanger reagents and were tested for the retention of Cl− and the separation of vanadium ions at μg l−1 levels. A suitable strong anion exchanger functional group (3-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane) was selected. Chlorine anions were retained in…

Development of an isotope dilution laser ablation ICP-MS method for multi-element determination in crude and fuel oil samples

2009

An inductively coupled plasma isotope dilution mass spectrometric (ICP-IDMS) method with direct introduction of the isotope-diluted sample into the plasma by laser ablation was developed for accurate, sensitive, fast, and simultaneous determination of trace metals in different oil samples. Metallo-organic solutions of isotope spikes (50V, 53Cr, 65Cu, 57Fe, 62Ni, 68Zn, 113Cd, 117Sn, and 206Pb) were prepared from corresponding aqueous stock solutions by using liquid–liquid extraction of complexed metal ions in isobutyl methyl ketone. The isotope-diluted sample was absorbed by a cellulose material, which was fixed in a special PTFE holder for ablation, using a laser system with high ablation r…

Effect of particle size distribution in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis of mesoporous V–SiO2 catalysts

2011

In this paper, the effect of particle size on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis of mesoporous V–SiO2 catalyst samples was investigated. The measurements were realized on three LIBS devices with different parameters. Concentrations of V in samples used for LIBS experiments previously determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) varied from 1.2 to 4.7 w/w%. Granulometry of silica samples was modified by two grinding methods (conventional vibration mill and cryogenic mill) and three sets of samples with different particle size distributions were obtained. Ground samples were then deposited in the form of a thin layer on the adhesive tape a…

Vanadium and molybdenum concentrations in particulate from Palermo (Italy): analytical methods using voltammetry

2014

The main purpose of this work was to develop a reliable method for the determination of vanadium (V) and molybdenum (Mo) in atmosphere particles or aerosols because they can not be readily measured using conventional techniques. For this research, 30 particulate samples were collected from five different stations located at Palermo, Italy. We used the catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetry and differential pulsed voltammetry to measure Vand Mo in atmospheric particulate, respectively. The represented method includes advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, simplicity, reproducibility, speed and low costs. The quantification limits for V and Mo are, respectively, 0.57 and 0.80 n…

Selective homogeneous hydrogenation of cycloocta-1,5, and cycloocta-1,3-diene to cyclooctene in the presence of (η4-cycloocta-1,5-diene)(η6-cycloocta…

1983

Cyclooctadiene isomers (1,3- and 1,5-COD) are selectively, homogenously hydrogenated to cyclooctene (C8H14) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, under mild conditions of temperature (20 °C) and hydrogen pressure (1 atm), in the presence of catalytic amounts of (cycloocta-1,5-diene)(cycloocta-1,3,5,-triene)ruthenium(0), [Ru(η4-COD)(η6-C8H10)] (1). The rate of hydrogenation is higher when 1,3-COD is the substrate. Evidence for the isomerization 1,5-COD → 1,3-COD is reported. Similar studies carried out in several alcoholic solutions, although showing a decreased selectivity in the hydrogenation, confirm the isomerization 1,5-COD → 1,3-COD, and allow a discrimination between the isomerization an…

Conformation constraints for efficient viscoelastic fluid simulation

2017

The simulation of high viscoelasticity poses important computational challenges. One is the difficulty to robustly measure strain and its derivatives in a medium without permanent structure. Another is the high stiffness of the governing differential equations. Solutions that tackle these challenges exist, but they are computationally slow. We propose a constraint-based model of viscoelasticity that enables efficient simulation of highly viscous and viscoelastic phenomena. Our model reformulates, in a constraint-based fashion, a constitutive model of viscoelasticity for polymeric fluids, which defines simple governing equations for a conformation tensor. The model can represent a diverse pa…

Melting curve and phase diagram of vanadium under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions

2019

Melting curve and phase diagram of vanadium under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the melting curve and the structural behavior of vanadium under extreme pressure and temperature. We performed powder x-ray-diffraction experiments up to 120 GPa and 4000 K, determining the phase boundary of the body-centered cubic-to-rhombohedral transition and melting temperatures at different pressures. Melting temperatures have also been established from the observation of temperature plateaus during laser heating, and the results from the density-functional theory calculations. Results obtained from our experiments and calculations a…

High-pressure phase transformations in NdVO4 under hydrostatic, conditions: a structural powder x-ray diffraction study

2019

Room temperature angle dispersive powder x-ray diffraction experiments on zircon-type NdVO4 were performed for the first time under quasi-hydrostatic conditions up to 24.5 GPa. The sample undergoes two phase transitions at 6.4 and 19.9 GPa. Our results show that the first transition is a zircon-to-scheelite-type phase transition, which has not been reported before, and contradicts previous non-hydrostatic experiments. In the second transition, NdVO4 transforms into a fergusonite-type structure, which is a monoclinic distortion of scheelite-type. The compressibility and axial anisotropy of the different polymorphs of NdVO4 are reported. A direct comparison of our results with former experime…

Predictive Power of the Emissivity Angular Variation of Soils in the Thermal Infrared (8–14 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$…

2018

A confident knowledge of land surface emissivity at viewing zenith angles far from nadir is of prime interest to perform an accurate correction of the anisotropy effect in the measurements made by orbiting thermal infrared (TIR) sensors. It is also important for the correct treatment of angular measurements carried out by remote sensors such as AATSR/ENVISAT, MODIS/Terra–Aqua, or the recently launched SLSTR/Sentinel-3, which can also be used for the angular normalization of land surface temperature due to viewing geometry effect. In this letter, the anisotropy of TIR emissivity predicted by two analytical, Warren–Wiscombe–Dozier and Hapke, models based on Mie diffraction theory was compared…
