Linear and Nonlinear Multivariate Classification of Iranian Bottled Mineral Waters According to Their Elemental Content Determined by ICP-OES

linear 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...

Multivariate classification of cigarettes according to their elemental content determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry.

In this paper we describe our study on the characterization of cigarette samples according to their mineral content. Acid digestion assisted by microwaves was employed, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry was the analytical technique used for the determination of Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P and Sr in conventional, light, and flavorized cigarettes. Multivariate ...

Determination of barium in natural waters by ICP-OES technique. Part II: Assessment of human exposure to barium in bottled mineral and spring waters produced in Poland.

BACKGROUND A method of the classification of natural mineral and spring waters and maximum admissible concentration (MAC) levels of metals present in such types of waters are regulated by Commission Directive 2003/40/EC, Directive 2009/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Ordinance of Minister of Health of 30 March 2011 on the natural mineral waters, spring waters and potable...

Analysis of Trace Metals in Surface and Bottled Waters with Optima 7300 DV ICP-OES

Heavy metals are among the most significant freshwater pollutants and pose severe threats to geographical biodiversity. Pollution by heavy metals such as Cd, Pb, etc. not only affects the productivity of crops, but also compromises the quality of the atmosphere and water bodies. By propagation through the food chain, this type of pollution also threatens the health and life of animals and human...

Guidelines for Chemical Analysis: Determination of the Elemental Content of Environment Samples using ICP-OES

Using SEM-EDX and ICP-OES to Investigate the Elemental Composition of Green Macroalga Vaucheria sessilis

The biomass of Vaucheria sessilis forms algal mats in many freshwaters. There is a need to find the method of algal biomass utilization. Vaucheria sessilis is a rich source of micro- and macronutrients and can be used as a soil amendment. In the paper, the elemental composition of enriched, via bioaccumulation process, macroalga was investigated. For this purpose, two independent techniques wer...
