The influences of microwave-power, heating time and standard substances on the results are studied. Using the proposed method, we analyzed the glucose standard solution, the coefficient of variation being less than 2%. Compared with the traditional electric stove heating method, the results of F-test and T-test showed that there was no significant difference between the two methods, but the microwave method had slightly higher precision and reproducibility than the electric stove method. With the microwave heating method, several seawater samples from Jiaozhou Bay and the South Yellow Sea were also analyzed. The recovery was between 97.5% and 104.3%. This new method has the advantages of shortening the heating time, improving the working efficiency and having simple operation and therefore can be used to analyze the COD in seawater.展开更多

The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet–visible (UV?Vis) spectroscopy. Mercury sulfide nanostructures with different sizes were prepared. The effects of precursor concentration, type of solvent, microwave time, and power on the particle size and morphology were investigated. The results show that the type of solvent and microwave power play key roles in the final size of HgS. Ethylene glycol is the best solvent for the synthesis of very fine particles of HgS, and the best power for the preparation of HgS nanoparticles with uniform size distribution is 900 W. The band gap for HgS nanoparticles calculated by UV–Vis spectrum was 3.2 eV which had about 1.2 eV blue shift in comparison with the band gap of 2 eV for bulk sample.展开更多
