The quantification of the elemental content in soils with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is challenging because of matrix effects strongly influencing the plasma formation and LIBS signal. Furthermore, soil heterogeneity at the micrometre scale can affect the accuracy of analytical results. In this paper, the impact of univariate and multivariate data evaluation approaches on the quantification of nutrients in soil is discussed. Exemplarily, results for calcium are shown, which reflect trends also observed for other elements like magnesium, silicon and iron. For the calibration models, 16 certified reference soils were used. With univariate and multivariate approaches, the calcium mass fractions in 60 soils from different testing grounds in Germany were calculated. The latter approach consisted of a principal component analysis (PCA) of adequately pre-treated data for classification and identification of outliers, followed by partial least squares regression (PLSR) for quantification. For validation, the soils were also characterised with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP OES) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Deviations between the LIBS quantification results and the reference analytical results are discussed.
Temperaturindikatoren in mittelalterlichen Hochbrandgipsen: Eine Ramanmikrospektroskopische Studie
(2018)
Infolge der beschränkten Kontrollmöglichkeiten über die in einem Meiler oder Feldofen herrschenden Parameter konstituiert mittelalterliche Hochbrandgipse ein Gemisch aus verschiedenen Anhydritstufen. Basierend auf modernen Versuchsbränden dienen in der gealterten Gipsmatrix nicht oder nur teilweise hydratisiert erhaltene Brenngutkörner üblicherweise anhand der morphologischen Eigenschaften der Anhydritkristalle der groben Einschätzung der zumindest lokal im Ofen bzw. im stückigen Brenngut erreichten Temperaturwerte. Die bildgebende Ramanmikroskopie ermöglicht die kornspezifische Bestimmung der Hitzeeinwirkung über den Grad der sich im Ramanspektrum abbildenden thermischen Beeinträchtigung der Thermoanhydritphasen, als auch deren Unterscheidung von primärem Anhydrit aus der Gipslagerstätte, da diesen eine höhere Kristallinität kennzeichnet. Hier beispielhaft diskutierte Ramananalysen an zwei reliktischen Brenngutkörnern lassen auf Brenntemperaturen von 650°C bzw. 800°C schließen. Pyrometamorphe Phasenneubildungen der natürlichen Verunreinigungen des Rohgipses liefern aufgrund ihres Bildungs- und Stabilitätsbereiches zusätzliche Hinweise. Im Beitrag erörtert werden die an die Dehydratation von magnesiumreichem Chlorit korrelierte Genese von Forsterit sowie die Zersetzung von Dolomit zu Calcit und Periklas, welcher beim Anmachen des Mörtels zu Brucit gelöscht wird und im Laufe der Zeit in der Gipsmatrix zu Magnesit carbonatisiert; beide pyrometamorphen Reaktionen
erfordern Temperaturen von über 800°C.
The mechanism of action of zirconium permanent modifiers on graphite surfaces was investigated in order to understand its influence on the analytical signal in atomic and molecular absorption spectrometry (AAS/MAS). For this, the molecule formation of CaF was studied, which is used for the indirect analytical determination of fluorine in high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-CS-GFMAS). The kinetics of this reaction was established by monitoring its molecular spectrum at different atomisation temperatures. An Arrhenius plot showed a pseudo-first order reaction with respect to fluorine (n = 1). An intermediate state was isolated, and its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods: scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEMEDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES and EXAFS), and Raman microspectroscopy. We propose here a mechanism, where ZrO2 acts as a heterogeneous catalyst: after a pyrolytic step, an intermediate state of ZrO(OCaF) is activated, and at higher temperatures, CaF(g) is released from the zirconium-coated graphite surface. No evidence of the formation of zirconium carbide was found. Consequently, as the CaF formation is catalysed by a heterogeneous catalyst, surface modifications with ZrO2 nanoparticles and ZrO xerogels were investigated in order to increase the surface area. Their influence was evaluated in the molecule formation of CaF, CaCl, CaBr, and CaI. Graphite furnace modification with zirconium oxide nanoparticles proves to be the best choice for fluorine analysis with a signal enhancement of more than eleven times with respect a non-coated graphite furnace. However, the influence of zirconium modifications in the analytical signals of Cl, and I is lower than the F signals or even negative in case of the Br. Understanding zirconium modifiers as heterogeneous catalysts offers a new perspective to AAS and MAS, and reveals the potential of surface analytical methods for development of improved permanent modifiers and graphite furnace coatings.
