For the first time ever, a specially designed set-up, coupled to the CEMHTI cyclotron allowed in situ monitoring of HNO2 and precise determination of H2 production in the external α radiolysis of HNO3 solution, while ensuring no perturbation of the investigated system.

Environmental monitoring is one of the most dynamically developing branches of chemical analysis. In this area, the use of multidimensional techniques and methods is encouraged to allow reliable determinations of metal ions with portable equipment for in-field applications. In this regard, this study presents, for the first time, the capabilities of a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) sensor to perform cadmium (II) determination in aqueous solutions by in situ visible (VIS) and Mid- Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (MID-FTIR) analyses of the polymeric films, using a partial least squares (PLS) chemometric approach. The influence of pH and metal content on cadmium (II) extraction, the characterization of its extraction in terms of the adsorption isotherm, enrichment factor and extraction equilibrium were studied. The PLS chemometric algorithm was applied to the spectral data to establish the relationship between cadmium (II) content in the membrane and the absorption spectra. Furthermore, the developed MID-FTIR method was validated through the determination of the figures of merit (accuracy, linearity, sensitivity, analytical sensitivity, minimum discernible concentration difference, mean selectivity, and limits of detection and quantitation). Results showed reliable calibration curves denoting systems’ potentiality. Comparable results were obtained in the analysis of real samples (tap, bottle, and pier water) between the new MID-FTIR-PLS PIM based-sensor and F-AAS.

The speciation of Al-OH complexes in terms of Ala, Alb and Alc could be achieved by traditional ferron assay and Alb is generally considered as Al13, however, the inherent correlation between them remains an enigma. This paper presents a modified ferron assay to get precise determination of Al13 using nonlinear least squares analysis, and to clarify the correlation between Alb and Al13. Two parallel reactions conforming to pseudo-first-order kinetics can simulate the complicate reactions between polynuclear complexes and ferron successfully. Four types of experimental kinetic constant (k value) of Al-OH complexes can be observed by this method when investigating three typical aluminium solutions. Comparing with the results of 27Al NMR, the species with moderate kinetics around 0.001 s−1 can be confirmed to resemble to Al13 polycation. The other types of kinetics are also well-regulated in partially neutralized aluminium solutions with various OH/Al ratios (b values) in the range 0 ∼ 2.5. It would provide potential means to trace the in-situ formation of Al13 in dilute solutions such as coagulation with Al-based coagulants

The Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in turbiditic deposits identified to the bed: a case study from the Skole Nappe (Outer Carpathians, southern Poland)The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-T) boundary has been recognized in turbiditic sediments of the Ropianka Formation in the Skole Nappe (Bąkowiec section) on the basis of planktonic foraminiferids with an accuracy of 40 cm. Such precise determination of the K-T boundary for the first time in the Carpathians and in turbiditic flysch sediments in general was possible due to the successive occurrence of the Early Paleocene planktonic taxa of the P1 Zone above the latest MaastrichtianAbathomphalus mayaroensisZone with theRacemiguembelina fructicosaSubzone. The trends in composition of the latest Maastrichtian foraminiferal assemblages are similar to the Gaj section from the adjacent thrust sheet, probably due to the influence of the same paleoenvironmental factors.

The electrochemical signatures of Ru oxide formation and CO stripping were used, for the first time, to determine the Pt shell coverage (from 0–2 monolayers) on Ru core nanoparticles, also revealing the chemical and electronic interactions that exist between these two phases.

A method for real-time determination of the percent cure of epoxies via in situ fiber-optic Raman spectroscopy has been developed. This method utilizes a probe design developed for real-time monitoring of polymer curing and multivariate analysis to interpret the data and determine percent cure. This method was demonstrated to be reliable to ±0.54% of cure in laboratory samples over a 50–99% cure range. A preliminary study measuring cure percentage in an industrial, glass-reinforced composite has been shown to be reliable to ±0.82% in the 40–90% cure range.

ABSTRACTWe report the first yield spectroscopy study on well characterized c-Si/a-Si:H heterojunctions grown in situ under UHV conditions. We find that this spectroscopy, when operated in the constant final state mode, allows a direct and precise determination of the valence-band discontinuity at the interface. A value of δEv = 0.44 ± 0.02 eV was found for the discontinuity.
