Fast determination of fish mineral profile. Application to Vietnamese panga fish
2013
A methodology, based on inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry after microwave-assisted digestion with HNO3/H2O2, was developed to determine the mineral profile of panga fish samples imported from Vietnam. A total of 42 essential and toxic elements were studied in seven samples taken from the local market. Preliminary studies were focused on selecting the best wavelength and the required dilution of samples in order to provide the highest sensitivity to maximize the number of analytes to be determined without spectral or matrix interferences. Adequate accuracy was assured by the analysis of certified reference material TORT-2. Mercury was also determined by a direct method…
Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy
2021
Infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy is one of the most important analytical techniques available to study different kinds of samples including solids, semisolids, biological materials, films, liquids, solutions, and gases. IR spectroscopy not only uses the so-called infrared absorption, but also other techniques such as the attenuated total reflection method, diffuse reflectance method, reflection-absorption method, photoacoustic spectroscopy, and emission spectroscopy. IR spectroscopy is a technique based on the vibrations of the atoms of a molecule. An infrared spectrum is obtained by passing infrared radiation through a sample and determining what fraction of the incident radiation is …
Mineral profile of kaki fruits (Diospyros kaki L.)
2015
The main objective of this study was the determination of the mineral profile of 167 kaki fruit (Diospyros kaki L.) samples produced from different regions of Spain, including samples with the protected designation of origin (PDO) 'Kaki Ribera del Xúquer' Valencia (Spain). Samples were analysed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Consumption of one piece of kaki fruit (200-400 g) would give a mineral intake providing 1-10% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium, 1-30% for copper and potassium, 1-15% from iron and magnesium, up to 1% of sodium, and up to 4% of zinc. ANOVA analysis indic…
Authentication of Alicante’s Mountain cherries protected designation of origin by their mineral profile
2011
Abstract Chemometric analysis of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) data was employed to verify the origin of cherry samples of different areas of Spain: Aragon, Caceres, Castellon, Huesca and Alicante’s Mountain Protected Geographic Indication (PGI). The ability of multivariate analysis methods, such as discriminant analysis (DA), was used to achieve cherry classification from their mineral content. The study was performed using 22 variables (concentrations of Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, Ti and Te) and 23 variables (concentrations of Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr…
High Tolerance of Double-Decker Phthalocyanine toward Molecular Oxygen
2018
Because organic electronics suffer from degradation-inducing oxidation processes, oxygen-tolerant organic molecules could solve this issue and be integrated to improve the stability of devices during operation. In this work, we investigate how lutetium double-decker phthalocyanine (LuPc2) reacts toward molecular oxygen and we report microscopic details of its interaction with LuPc2 film by combining X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and density functional theory. Surprisingly, LuPc2 molecules are found to weakly physisorb below 120 K and appear rather inert to molecular oxygen at more elevated temperatures. We are able to draw a micros…
Chemical characterization of ancient potteries from Himera and Pestavecchia necropolis (Sicily, Italy) by Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission…
2011
Abstract Thirty-eight samples of pottery were analyzed for determining chemical composition in order to establish their provenance. The potteries tested in the present research come from Himera and Pestavecchia archaeological sites. After digestion in microwave oven, the samples have been analyzed for fourteen minor elements (Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Ti, Tl, and Zn) and six major elements (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, and Na). Chemical analysis was carried out by Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP–OES). The most abundant minor elements are Cr, Ba and Ni. Cr concentration ranged from 66 to 3635 mg kg − 1 , Ba concentration ranged from 388 to 2677 mg kg − 1…
Time-resolved X-ray photoemission electron microscopy: imaging magnetodynamics on the 100 ps scale and below
2005
Abstract We present recent results of time-resolved X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (TR-XPEEM) investigations on magnetic systems. Our studies of microstructured permalloy particles employ a magnetic pump XPEEM probe approach. The stroboscopic experiments feature a time resolution of Δ τ ≤ 130 ps and yield magnetic domain images with a surprising richness of details. We observe a strong influence of incoherent magnetization rotation processes, which lead to complicated transient domain structures with a blocked relaxation behavior.
Determination of Calcium in Certain Fertilizers by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry: Studies of Some Spectral and Interelement…
1997
Abstract Four analytical wavelengths (393.366, 396.847, 317.933, and 422.673 nm) were used to determine Ca in 2 fertilizers by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Matrix effects were studied by adding to real fertilizer solutions fertilizer elements that are known or believed to interfere with Ca determination. Matrix effects were calculated by multiple linear regression. Interference was caused by S, K, or B. At 422.673 nm, the interference of B and K is a spectral effect, and at 396.847 and 317.933 nm, the interference of S and K is an interelement effect. At 393.366 nm, no linear interference was found. The best wavelength for determining Ca in fertilizers …
Iron Determination in Fertilizers by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry: Study of Spectral and Interelement Effects at Different…
1996
Abstract Four analytical wavelengths of iron (238.204, 239.562, 259.940, and 240.488 nm) were tested for determination of Fe in fertilizers by inductively cou pled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP AES). Variations in measurements were caused by the changing interference pattern at different wave lengths evaluated by multiple linear regression. Thus, results obtained with different wavelengths are not comparable. Ca, P, and K were typical ele ments causing interference in almost all examined Fe wavelengths. Wavelength Fe II 238.204 nm is the best wavelength for determination of Fe in fertiliz ers by ICP-AES. Method accuracy is ± 8% at the ex amined Fe levels in fertilizers.
Determination of Magnesium in Fertilizers by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry: Studies of Some Spectral and Interelement Effec…
1995
Abstract Four analytical wavelengths of magnesium were tested for determination of Mg from fertilizers by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES): 202.528, 285.213, and 383.826 nm (Mg I) and 279.553 (Mg II). The effects of fertilizer matrix elements on Mg determination were examined by adding matrix elements to fertilizer solutions. Multiple linear regression calculations proved a valuable technique for evaluating the effects of matrix elements on Mg determination. The observed interferences at Mg wavelengths may be both spectral and interelement. Interelement effects were typically caused by Na, K, and Ca, and spectral effects, by P, Fe, and S. The best wavelength…
