Quantitative Analysis of Fe Content in Iron Ore via External Calibration in Conjunction with Internal Standardization Method Coupled with LIBS

The external calibration in conjunction with internal standardization（ECIS） coupled with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic（LIBS） technique was proposed to perform the quantitative analysis of Fe content in iron ore The plasma temperature and the electron number density were calculated to prove that the plasma was under local thermodynamic equilibrium（LTE） conditions and to ensure that the integral intensities of Fe I lines were reasonable. In addition, the result of the quantitative analysis shows a content of （20.26±0.59）% by mass of Fe in the iron ore. It was determined by four calibration curves, drawn for four emission lines of Fe I（373.48, 373.71,404.58 and 438.35 nm） normalized by Mn I line, base on the ECIS method which can eliminate the influence of matrix effect and improve the accuracy of quantitative analysis, compared with the standard addition method. Both the results of these two analytical methods were compared with that listed in the Standard Substance Certificate. The percentage content of Fe in the same sample of iron ore by the ECIS method was （20.17±0.08）% by mass, which shows a good performance to analyze the Fe content of iron ore in combination with LIBS.

Quantitative Analysis Using Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry and Correlation between Mass Spectrometry Data and Sulfur Content of Crude Oils

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry(FT-ICR MS) has become a powerful tool for analyzing the detailed composition of petroleum samples. However, the correlation between the numerous peaks obtained by FT-ICR MS and bulk properties of petroleum samples is still a challenge. In this study, the internal standard method was applied for the quantitative analysis of four straight-run vacuum gas oils(VGO) by atmospheric pressure photoionization(APPI) FT-ICR MS. The heteroatom class distribution of these VGO samples turned to be different when the concentration changed. Linear relationship between the normalized abundance and the concentration of VGO samples was identified for the total aromatic compounds, aromatic hydrocarbons, S1 and N1 species. The differences of the response factors were also discussed. The sulfur contents of a series of crude oils were proved to be linear with the FT-ICR MS data calibrated by the response factor of S1 species. This study demonstrated the feasibility of the internal standard method in quantitative analysis with APPI FT-ICR MS, and the bulk properties of petroleum samples could be correlated directly with the FT-ICR MS data.

Application of internal standard method in recombinant luminescent bacteria test

Mercury and its organic compounds have been of severe concern worldwide due to their damage to the ecosystem and human health. The development of effective and affordable technology to monitor and signal the presence of bioavailable mercury is an urgent need.The Mer gene is a mercury-responsive resistant gene, and a mercury-sensing recombinant luminescent bacterium using the Mer gene was constructed in this study. The mer operon from marine Pseudomonas putida strain SP1 was amplified and fused with prompterless lux CDABE in the p UCD615 plasmid within Escherichia coli cells, resulting in p THE30–E. coli.The recombinant strain showed high sensitivity and specificity. The detection limit of Hg^2＋was 5 nmol/L, and distinct luminescence could be detected in 30 min. Cd^2＋, Cu^2＋, Zn^2＋, Ca^2＋,Pb^2＋, Mg^2＋, Mn^2＋, and Al^3＋did not interfere with the detection over a range of 10-5–1 m M.Application of recombinant luminescent bacteria testing in environmental samples has been a controversial issue： especially for metal-sensing recombinant strains, false negatives caused by high cytotoxicity are one of the most important issues when applying recombinant luminescent bacteria in biomonitoring of heavy metals. In this study, by establishing an internal standard approach, the false negative problem was overcome;furthermore, the method can also help to estimate the suspected mercury concentration,which ensures high detection sensitivity of bioavailable Hg2＋.

Analysis of volatile flavor compounds in top fermented wheat beer by headspace sampling-gas chromatography

Headspace sampling-gas chromatography(HS-GC)coupled with an internal standard method(ISM)was developed to analyze the volatile flavor compounds in top fermented wheat beer in the laboratory.Eight compounds,i.e.acetaldehyde,N-propanol,ethyl acetate,isobutyl alcohol,isoamyl alcohol,isoamyl acetate,ethyl hexanoate and ethyl octanoate were separated and quantified.This method was validated to ensure the quality of the results:the precision was satisfactory with relative standard deviation(RSD)in the range of 1.51%-4.22%,recoveries for all the analytes ranged from 95.15%to 99.85%,and the limits of detection were in the range of 0.0002-0.024 mg/L.Results of real wheat beer samples analyzed using this method showed that the volatile compound concentrations were in the range of 0.08-99.91 mg/L.Results suggested that this method exhibited good reproducibility,selectivity and high precision,and it can be useful for the analysis of routine beer samples.

Determination the content of gypsum fibrosum in Xiaokening tablets by powder X ray diffraction method

The research on the application of X-ray diffraction in the quantitative analysis of Chinese medicines is rare. The main reason is that the technical problems related to the internal standard and the selection of quantitative peaks are not well solved, and the accuracy and precision of the results are not satisfactory. This study employed the concept of mass absorption coefficient based on the internal standard method, and the full spectrum fitting and quantitative methods were used to solve the above technical problems. The sample was blended. the internal standard substance of zinc oxide was fully ground, and tablets were prepared by positive pressure method. Under certain instrumental conditions, the PXRD pattern was obtained by scanning. The percentage of gypsum fibrosum in Xiaokening tablet was obtained by quantitative analysis of full spectrum fitting internal standard by TOPAS software. The method was investigated by methodology. At the same time, the method was compared by ion chromatography, and SPSS software was used to make a significant t test on the results of the two methods. After the investigation, the average standard recovery rate of CaSO4-2H2O was 99.06%(RSD = 3.02%);and the recovery rate for simulated samples was 96.7%. The method had good specificity. After statistical analysis, there was no significant difference between the new PXRD method and the traditional method of ion chromatography.
