The MICAP is a microwave driven plasma source employing nitrogen as the plasma gas. In this work we compare LODs and LOQs obtained in axial viewing with those obtained by ICP-OES and evaluate the effect of air instead of nitrogen as the plasma gas.

Bulk element concentrations of whole grain and element spatial distributions at the tissue level were investigated in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) grain grown in Zn-enriched soil. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry were used for bulk analysis, whereas micro-proton-induced X-ray emission was used to resolve the two-dimensional localization of the elements. Soil Zn application did not significantly affect the grain yield, but did significantly increase the grain Ca, Fe and Zn concentrations, and decrease the grain Na, P and Mo concentrations; bulk Mg, S, K, Mn, Cu, Cd and Pb concentrations remained unchanged. These changes observed in bulk element concentrations are the reflection of tissue-specific variations within the grain, revealing that Zn application to soil can lead to considerable alterations in the element distributions within the grain, which might ultimately influence the quality of the milling fractions. Spatially resolved investigations into the partitioning of the element concentrations identified the tissues with the highest element concentrations, which is of utmost importance for accurate prediction of element losses during the grain milling and polishing processes.

The present work has been undertaken to assess the evolution of dissolution process of large dendritic precipitates in a V-Nb-Ti microalloyed steel. The study was performed by reheating the samples at 1250°C, simulating the industrial reheating practices at laboratory scale and in situ, following industrial profile; afterwards the samples were quenched in 10%NaCl aqueous solution. The characterization of the material was carried out by scanning electron microscopy accompanied with dispersive energy spectrometry, and chemical analysis by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The results showed a partial dissolution of dendritic precipitates. This process ocurred by a progressive dissolving the Nb-rich shells formed over cuboidal particles and primary arm of well-faceted dendritic precipitates, and by fragmentation and spheroidization of secondary branches. These processes gave rise to spherical Nb rich precipitates and cuboidal particles at the reheating conditions used in this study. Both type of particles contain vanadium.

Congruent Ce (0.1 wt %): Cu (0.05 wt %): LiNbO 3 single crystals doped with 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 mol% MgO respectively were grown by the Czochrolski method in air along the C direction. The inductively coupled plasma optical emission/mass spectrometry (ICP-OE/MS), the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), the differential thermal analysis (DTA), the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra and the infrared (IR) absorption spectrum were measured and discussed in terms of the spectroscopic characterization and the defect structure of the Mg:Ce:Cu:LiNbO 3 crystals. The results indicated that the Mg:Ce:Cu:LiNbO 3 crystal grown from the congruent composition melt showed large [ Li ]/[ Nb ] ratios, which was closer to stoichiometry, an increase in the Curie temperature and a non-linear shift in the absorption edge with MgO concentration increasing. The threshold concentration of MgO in Mg:Ce:Cu:LiNbO 3 of nearly 5.52 mol% was estimated.

This work presents the investigation of the electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine and sodium borohydride ions in alkaline solutions on the Au nanoparticles modified ZnCo coating surface, which was deposited on the titanium substrate (termed as AuZnCo/Ti). The AuZnCo/Ti catalysts were prepared via a facile electrochemical deposition technique followed by a simple and low-cost galvanic displacement. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy were used for characterization of the prepared catalysts surface morphology, structure and composition, whereas their electrocatalytic behaviour was investigated for the electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine and sodium borohydride in an alkaline medium using cyclic voltammetry. It has been determined that the AuZnCo/Ti catalysts with Au loadings of 31, 63 and 306 µg cm–2 show enhanced catalytic activity towards the electrochemical oxidation of both hydrazine and sodium borohydride as compared to that of the ZnCo/Ti catalyst.
