An inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer is used to detect carbon-containing compounds following separation by high-performance liquid chromatography. A calcium form ligand exchange column with distilled and deionized water as the mobile phase is used to separate carbohydrates. The eluting species are detected by monitoring the carbon atomic emission line at 193.09 nm. The mas...

A novel solid phase extractor for preconcentration of cadmium at ng L−1 levels has been developed. Cadmium ions were retained on a column packed with sulfur powder modified with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) in the medium of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim]+PF6−) ionic liquid. The presence of ionic liquid during modification of sulfur enhanced the retention of cadmium i...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to describe blood lead levels (BLLs) and the prevalence of elevated blood lead levels (EBLLs) in children aged 0-6 years old and to analyze the BLL trend in children from 2009 to 2013 in China. METHODS A total of 124,376 children aged 0-6 years old were recruited for this study from January 1st 2009 to December 31st 2013. Their blood lead levels were analyz...

A study was conducted to determine pigeons from the urban to performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry with air acetylene (G.B.C. Advanta) Lead concentration was significantly higher in urban sites compared to rural site. Primary feather of pigeon and tail feather of urban sites had significantly higher lead concentration than their rural counterpart. The result of the present study show...

To gain new insights into ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (LLCT) dynamics, we synthesised two heteroleptic Ir(3+) complexes: (Ir(dfppy)2(tpphz)) and (Ir(dfppy)2(dpq)), where dfppy, tpphz, and dpq are 2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridine, tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-h:2''',3'''-j]phenazine, and 2,3-bis-(2-pyridyl)-quinoxaline, respectively. The tpphz and dpq ligands have longer π-conjugation th...

Mercury has long been recognised as a neurotoxin element for many decades and with its compounds being extremely toxic, is ranked third in the ‘priority list of hazardous substance’ by the United States comprehensive environmental response, compensation, and liability act. In different samples, mercury can exist as either its inorganic or organic forms and this paper will review the methods for...

This paper suggests an improved method for the sample preparation to quantify vanadium, chromium, nickel and copper in tool steel high-speed by using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The suggested prepared two specimen solutions containing different internal standard elements: one included quantifications of vanadium or cobalt quantification chromium another phosphoric acid nickel, after w...
