Abstract The analysis of boronated fertilizers by extraction of acid-soluble boron with 2-ethyl-l,3-hexanediol in chloroform, with determination of boron by emission flame photometry, has been modified so that it may be applied to unboronated fertilizers. The very hot but non-reducing nitrous oxide-hydrogen flame provides a detection limit of 0.05 ppm in the extract or 0.5 ppm in the sample. Fluoride is the only major interference and this is eliminated by addition of zirconium ions. The range of boron content found in 8 samples of mixed fertilizers was 28.8 to 202 ppm.

The nitrous oxide-hydrogen flame provides efficient combustion of aspirated gasoline without the formation of luminescent unburned carbon particles. Direct aspiration of gasoline into this flame is practical even at very high nebulizer uptake rates and is thus the basis for rapid direct determination of manganese by atomic absorption spectrometry. The atomic absorption spectrophotometer, however, must be calibrated by using standards prepared from the same organometallic manganese compound present in the samples. Atomic absorption response for manganese naphthenate, manganese octoate, and methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT) can differ by as much as 45% relative depending on the nebulizer uptake rate. At the optimum nebulizer uptake rate used, 6 ml/min, the difference between absorption response of the most sensitive compound, manganese naphthenate, and the least sensitive, MMT, is 15%. Very high nebulizer efficiencies and relatively high uptake rates result in high sample transport to the flame. Absorption at a given concentration for all compounds increases in a linear fashion with the amount of sample transported to the flame up to about 3.0 ml/min. At 4.0 ml/min equivalent liquid phase volume delivered to the flame maximum absorbance occurs; absorbance diminishes rapidly thereafter. Plots of absorption vs equivalent liquid phase volume delivered to the flame passed through the origin for manganese naphthenate and manganese octoate. The same plot for MMT shows a positive intercept on the volume delivered axis, which indicates a consistent loss of absorption for MMT relative to the naphthenate and the octoate for all rates of sample delivery to the flame.

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

The determination of mercury-204 was made by using the isotope shift of the 3984 A mercury line excited by electrodeless discharge. Densitometric traces were made from film recordings of the 3984 A line and the areas under the component peaks were determined. Ratios of each of these areas to the sum of the areas from all the line components are plotted against the isotope concentration to produce a working curve. The coefficient of variation for this method is approximately 11 percent The time required for a single determination (after fabrication of the discharge lamp) is about two hours.
