Sample preparation methods for cereal digestion were evaluated the first time subsequent As, Cd, Hg, and Pb determination by atomic absorption spectroscopy techniques. Microwave-assisted (MW-AD) under high medium pressure microwave-induced combustion (MIC) evaluated. The use of MIC made it possible to digest 700 mg samples, agreements 97, 96, 100 92% obtained Hg Pb, respectively, when 7 mol L−1 HNO3 was used as absorbing solution. It not necessary dilute digests avoid interferences in...
The microwave-induced combustion (MIC) technique was applied for coal digestion and further determination of bromide, chloride, fluoride, iodide by ion chromatography (IC). Samples (up to 500 mg) were combusted at 2 MPa oxygen. Combustion complete in less than 50 s, analytes absorbed water or (NH4)2CO3 solution. A reflux step improve analyte absorption. Accuracy evaluated Br, Cl, F using certified reference spiked samples I. For F, the agreement between 96 103% mmol L-1 as absorbing solution...
In this work, sample preparation methods for polymer digestion based on microwave-induced combustion (MIC) and microwave-assisted acid (MW-AD) were evaluated further As, Bi, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sr, Ti, V Zn determination by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) optical emission (ICPOES). Samples of low density polyethylene (LDPE), high (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), terephthalate (PET, colorless green), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) nylon 6,6...
A simple one-step method based on the sputtering deposition of Ni nanoparticles (NP) has been developed for production magnetic biocatalysts, avoiding complications and drawbacks methods chemical functionalisation or coating NP. This new technique provided high levels recovery, reusability catalytic activity lipase–Ni biocatalyst.
Microwave-induced combustion (MIC) was applied for digestion of crude oil distillation residues further total nickel, vanadium and sulfur determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Sample masses up to 500 mg atmospheric residue (AR) vacuum (VR) were completely combusted using the MIC system. A polyethylene film used wrap samples allowing a feasible process. Ammonium nitrate (6 mol l−1 solution, 50 µl) as an aid ignition. Parameters related process,...
Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is very toxic. iAs in rice was determined using selective hydride generation conditions and atomic absorption spectrometry.

A procedure for sample digestion based on focused microwave-induced combustion (FMIC) is proposed. This system was developed using a commercial microwave oven with lab-made quartz holder and modified glass vessel. Oxygen flow used to start support the combustion. botanical evaluate operational conditions further Al, Ba, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, Sr, Zn determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Pelletized samples were positioned holder, 50 μL of 6 mol L−1 NH4NO3...
The microwave-induced combustion (MIC) was applied for cigarette tobacco samples digestion and further determination of bromine chlorine by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Samples masses up to 500 mg were combusted in closed vessels using 20 bar oxygen. Combustion complete less than 30 s analytes absorbed diluted (NH4)2CO3 solution. Accuracy evaluated certified reference materials with similar matrix composition comparison results obtained ICP-MS....
Growing evidence suggest that the methylated trivalent metabolites of inorganic arsenic (iAs), methylarsonite (MAs(III)) and dimethylarsinite (DMAs(III)), contribute to adverse effects iAs exposure. However, lack suitable methods has hindered quantitative analysis MAs(III) DMAs(III) in complex biological matrices. Here, we show hydride generation-cryotrapping-atomic absorption spectrometry can quantify both livers mice exposed iAs. No sample extraction is required, thus limiting or oxidation...
A procedure for salt extraction of heavy crude oil emulsions (API lower than 14°) was performed using microwave radiation. Emulsion transferred to high-pressure quartz vessels with further water addition.
