We present a new elemental analysis (EA) technique for organic species (CHNO) that allows fast on-line analysis (10 s) and reduces the required sample size to approximately 1 ng, approximately 6 orders of magnitude less than standard techniques. The composition of the analyzed samples is approximated by the average elemental composition of the ions from high-resolution electron ionization (EI) ...

Forty-nine components of ambient particulate matter (PM) in size-fractionated PM were investigated at an urban background site in Katowice (Silesian Agglomeration in Southern Poland) in the non-heating season of 2012. PM was analyzed for two groups of carbon compounds (organic (OC) and elemental (EC) carbon, Lab OC-EC Aerosol Analyzer), five major water-soluble ions (NH4+, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, and...

Reaction of 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-pyrimidinethiol, prepared by cyclocondensation reaction of 1,3-diamino propane 1 and carbon disulfide, with ethyl chloroacetate and substituted aromatic aldehydes in the presence of sodium acetate and acetic acid gave 2-[(Z)-1-(aryl)]-6,7-dihydro-2H-isothiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine-3(5H)-one derivatives 3(a-j) in good yields. 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analy...

Thin carbon films on Ni(111) and Ni(100) and the reactive and diffusive interactions between film and substrate are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The carbon films are deposited from the vapor phase with the substrates at room temperature. After deposition the films contain mainly elemental carbon. Restricted only to the carbon-nickel interface carbidic carbon is obs...

a novel sulfur nanocomposite was fabricated based on graphitic mesoporous carbon.the graphitic mesoporous carbon was synthesized using sucrose as carbon precursor, nano caco3 as hard template and nickel nitrate as graphitization catalyst. the structural properties of the prepared material were characterized using powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), n2-adsorption/desorption and scanning electron mic...

the mode of coordination of8 manganese(fi), cobaltm, nickel(h), copper(ii), zinc(h), lead(ii) and cadmium(i1) to sodium ascorbate (nahasc) was investigated using ir, uv-visible, aas, elemental microanalyzer, conductivity, magnetic and 'm and i3c nmr spectroscopic studies, nanasc is bidentate and coordination was through the carbonyl group and the oxygen atom of carbon-2 enolic hydfoxyl gro...

[1] The oxidative ratio (OR) of the net ecosystem carbon balance is the ratio of net O2 and CO2 fluxes resulting from photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and other lateral and vertical carbon flows. The OR of the terrestrial biosphere must be well characterized to accurately estimate the terrestrial CO2 sink using atmospheric measurements of changing O2 and CO2 levels. To estimate the O...
