The macrophorous hydrophobic sorbent Amberlite XAD-2 proved to be well suited to the preconcentration of minority amounts of Al, Au, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, Ti and V in the form of their chelates with organic reagents. From among 14 reagents tested, 8-hydroxyquinoline and diethyldithiocarbamate appeared most suitable for the quantitative sorption up to level of 1 μg l-1 of analyte. Emission spectrometry served as the analytical finish; the nitrous oxide-acetylene flame, electric arc and inductively coupled argon plasma were chosen according to the nature of the element. The procedure is convenient for the determination of the minority analytes in waters


As an introduction to the study of reactions contingent on ionization in flames, an experimental measurement has been made of the collision frequency of electrons with molecules in coal-gas/air flames, containing added alkali metal salt. This quantity is an important parameter in the expression relating the electron content of a flame with the attenuation of centimetric radio waves by it. This attenuation has been chosen as a convenient method of investigating flame ionization. The form of the results obtained agree well with the predictions of theory, a uniform difference of about 20 % between measured collision frequency and that calculated on a very simple gas kinetic hypothesis being obtained. A suitable conversion factor has been evolved for proceeding from attenuation of 3 cm. waves to electron concentration/cm. 3 .

Abstract A dual comb spectrometer is used as gas sensor for the parallel detection of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO). These gases have overlapping absorption features in the mid-infrared (MIR) at a wavelength of 4.6 µm. With a spectra acquisition rate of 10 Hz, concentrations of 50 ppm N2O and 30 ppm CO are monitored with a relative precision of 6 × 10 − 3 6\times {10^{-3}} and 3 × 10 − 3 3\times {10^{-3}} respectively. The limit of detections are 91 ppb for N2O and 50 ppb for CO for an integration time of 25 s. The system exhibits a linear sensitivity from 2 ppm to 100 ppm with coefficients of determination of 0.99998 for N2O and 0.99996 for CO.
