Determination of isotopic ratio of boron in boric acid using laser mass spectrometry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOFMS) with a laser ablation ion source was used to determine the isotopic ratio of 10B/11B present in boric acid solutions, using graphite as the matrix. The atom % 10B values obtained were within +/-1% of the actual ones. The determination of the boron isotopic ratio using this method is, in comparison to other methods, faster, less expensive and easier to perform. The results are compared with the values determined using thermal ionization mass spectrometry.

Distribution of Foliar-applied Boron Measured by Spark-source Mass Spectrometry and Laser-probe Mass Spectrography.
The distribution of foliar-applied boron ([(10)B]boric acid) in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) was studied using for analysis of the stable isotopes a technique allowing a high sensitivity: spark-source mass spectrometry. Boron was recovered in the nontreated aerial parts and in the roots; however, the greatest fraction was in the treated leaf. It was possible with a laser-probe mass spectrograph...
متن کاملThe Conversion Kinetics of Tincal to Boric Acid in Nitric Acid Solutions
Pure borax and various boron compounds are produced from the solutions in which tincal is dissolved with various reagents. Economically important boron compounds such as boric acid, borax, boric oxide, and refined hydrated sodium borates and perborates are produced from boron-containing ores. The production of boric acid by using nitric acid from tincal is more advantageous because it evalu...
متن کاملBoron incorporation in the foraminifer Amphistegina lessonii under a de- coupled carbonate chemistry
A number of studies have shown that the boron isotopic composition (δB) and the B /Ca ratio of biogenic carbonates (mostly foraminifers) can serve as proxies for two parameters of the ocean’s carbonate chemistry, rendering it possible to calculate the entire carbonate system. However, the B incorporation mechanism into marine carbonates is still not fully understood and analyses of field sample...
متن کاملRed coralline algae assessed as marine pH proxies using 11B MAS NMR
Reconstructing pH from biogenic carbonates using boron isotopic compositions relies on the assumption that only borate, and no boric acid, is present. Red coralline algae are frequently used in palaeoenvironmental reconstruction due to their widespread distribution and regular banding frequency. Prior to undertaking pH reconstructions using red coralline algae we tested the boron composition of...
متن کاملAccurate and precise determination of boron isotopic ratios at low concentration by positive thermal ionization mass spectrometry using static multicollection of Cs2BO2+ ions.
A static double-collector system for accurate, precise, and rapid boron isotope analysis has been established by employing a newly fixed Faraday H3 and H4 cup enabling simultaneously collected Cs2BO2(+) ion beams (m/z = 308 and 309) on a Finnigan-MAT Triton thermal ionization mass spectrometer of boron (Triton B). The experimental result indicated that Cs2BO2(+) ion beams (m/z = 308 and 309) we...
