Foram comparados vários procedimentos de preparo de amostras, isto é, decomposição total de uma mistura HNO3/H2O2 em placa de aquecimento, decomposição parcial por meio de solubilização em aqua regia e diluição com solução de HNO3 de baixa concentração, para determinação do conteúdo total de Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, Sr e Zn em bebidas energéticas utilizando espectrometria de e...

Current waste management policies favor biogases (digester gases (DGs) and landfill gases (LFGs)) valorization as it becomes a way for energy politics. However, volatile organic silicon compounds (VOSiCs) contained into DGs/LFGs severely damage combustion engines and endanger the conversion into electricity by power plants, resulting in a high purification level requirement. Assessing treatment...

Yogurt, a traditional Turkish dairy product is common in all region of Turkey. The different heavy metals were determined in commercial yogurts by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP–OES). Concentrations of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd...

A simple and rapid method for the determination of Ba 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 of Ba abundan...

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) was used to measure the concentrations of cobalt, tantalum, titanium, vanadium and chromium in solutions of tungsten carbide. The main advantage of the method described here lies in the speed, convenience and effectiveness of the dissolution procedure. Aliquots of powdered tungsten carbide were dissolved in a solution of 5% aqua...

The certification of Standard Reference Material (SRM is a registered trademark of NIST) 3103a As Spectrometric Solution is based on the gravimetric preparation value that is verified by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) measurements. A disagreement between the gravimetric and the spectrometric values for a batch of As calibration solutions led to the discovery ...

The gadolinium species present in a rat kidney following intravenous administration of a gadolinium-based magnetic resonance contrast agent (Optimark™, Gadoversetamide injection) to a rat was examined in the present study. The major gadolinium species in the supernatant of the rat kidney tissue extracts was determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with online inductively coupled plasm...

A concentração de Cd, Pb e Ni em material particulado atmosférico coletado no ambiente de trabalho de três fundições localizadas no município de Loanda, Paraná, Brasil, foram determinadas por voltametria de onda quadrada e ICP OES. Os resultados mostram que os trabalhadores estão sendo sistematicamente expostos a concentrações de Cd e Pb que são significativamente maiores do que o Limite de Con...

A novel ICP-OES method has been developed for the determination of Si concentration, originating from polyorganophosphosilanes, in biological specimens that also contain metal ions. The is free hazardous hydrofluoric acid (HF) and involves digestion with HNO3/H2O2 prior to analysis by ICP-OES. High reproducible spike recovery was obtained controls.
