Biodiesel Analysis for Inorganic Contaminants Using the Optima 8000 ICP-OES With Flat Plate Plasma Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Unites States, the production of biofuels is primarily driven by the use of corn for ethanol and soy beans for biodiesel. Unfortunately, the competition for these raw materials has had an adverse effect on the price of food stuffs produced from these crops. The search for alternative and more efficient sources of raw materials for biodiesel production is ongoing. Biodiesel can be made from any plant or vegetable material that contains oils as well as from animal fat. Common sources include soybeans, palm, rapeseed, and tallow. However, many other sources have been used, such as peanuts, coconuts, corn, switchgrass, and algae.

Analysis of Wear Metals and Additive Package Elements in New and Used Oil Using the Optima 8300 ICP-OES with Flat Plate Plasma Technology
The analysis of new and used oil for concentration trends of wear metals and for formulation or depletion of additive package metals has been around for over 30 years. Wear metals such as copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) may indicate wear in an engine or any oil-wetted compartment. Boron (B), silicon (Si) or sodium (Na) may indicate contamination from dirt or antifreeze leading to a failure. Additive ...
متن کاملLinear and Nonlinear Multivariate Classification of Iranian Bottled Mineral Waters According to Their Elemental Content Determined by ICP-OES
The combinations of inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and three classification algorithms, i.e., partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) and soft independent modeling of class analogies (SIMCA), for discriminating different brands of Iranian bottled mineral waters, were explored. ICP-OES was used for th...
متن کاملDetermination of 137Ba Isotope Abundances in Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma-optical Emission Spectrometry Combined with Least-squares Support Vector Machine Regression
A simple and rapid method for the determination of 137Ba isotope abundances in water samples by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) coupled with least-squares support vector machine regression (LS-SVM) is reported. By evaluation of emission lines of barium, it was found that the emission line at 493.408 nm provides the best results for the determination...
متن کاملRapid Analysis of Inorganic Species in Herbaceous Materials Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Inorganic compounds in biomass, often referred to as ash, are known to be problematic in the thermochemical conversion of biomass to bio-oil or syngas and, ultimately, hydrocarbon fuels because they negatively influence reaction pathways, contribute to fouling and corrosion, poison catalysts, and impact waste streams. The most common ash-analysis methods, such as inductively coupled plasma-opti...
متن کاملIncreased Laboratory Productivity for ICP-OES Applied to U.S. EPA Method 6010C
The use of an ESI SC FAST autosampler coupled to a Perkin Elmer Optima 7300 DV ICP can dramatically improve productivity for the analysis of environmental samples using EPA SW-846 Method 6010C. Sample throughput, as determined by sample-to-sample run time can be improved by as much as 100% as compared to traditional sample introduction systems and autosampler configurations. Both sample analysi...
