KGaA ISBNs: 3-527-30146-1 (Hardback); 3-527-60062-0 (Electronic) xi Preface Spectrochemical analysis is a powerful instrumental principle for the determina- tion of the chemical elements and their species in a variety of sample types of dif- ferent size, at widely dierent concentration levels and with very diering cost performance ratios and time consumption. In addition, not only monoelement but also multielement determinations are possible with widely diering precision and accuracy using the various dierent methods. The basic principles of spectro- chemical analysis are related to the atomic and molecular structure and also to gas discharge physics as well as to instrumentation and measurement sciences. There- fore, research into spectrochemical analysis requires knowledge of the aforemen- tioned disciplines to enable innovative developments of new methodologies to be achieved in terms of the improvement of power of detection, accuracy and cost performance ratios, these being the driving forces in analytical innovation. The development of analytical procedures also requires the analytical chemist to have a knowledge of the theory and the principles of the above mentioned disciplines. It is the aim of this monograph to bring together the theory and principles of todays spectrochemical methods that make use of ¯ames and plasma sources. This should enable researchers to enter the ®eld of spectrochemical research, where innovation is through the use and development of new sources and the application of new types of spectrometers, and also to face challenges from emerging ®elds of appli- cation, which is as straightforward today as it was even in the time of Bunsen and Kirchho. This work should appeal both to chemists and physicists, the coopera- tion of whom is instrumental for progress to be made in this ®eld of analytical chemistry as well as to users from dierent areas of science, including the life sciences, material sciences, environmental sciences, geochemistry, chemical pro- cess technology, etc.

  • Electroanalytical Chemistry of Some Organometallic Compounds of Tin, Lead and Germanium
    ELECTROANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY OF SOME ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS OF TIN, LEAD AND GERMANIUM by Nani Bhushan Fouzder M.Sc. (Rajshahi) A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London. Chemistry Department, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London S.W.7. September, 1975. 11 ABSTRACT. The present thesis concerns the investigation into the electrochemical behaviour of some industrially important organometallic compounds of tin, lead and germanium and development of suitable electrochemical methods for the analysis of these compounds at formula- tion and at trace level. The basic principles of the electrochemical techniques used inthis investigation have been given in the first part of the 'Introduction', while the various factors which control the electrode process have been discussed in the second part of the 'Introduction' in chapter 1. The electrochemical behaviour and analytical determination of some important organotin fungicides and pesticides such as tri-n-butyltin oxide, triphenyl- tin acetate, etc., some antihelminthic compounds such as dibutyltin dilaureate and dibutyltin dimaleate and some widely used PVC-stabilizers such as di-n-Octyltin dithioglycollic acid ester (Irgastab 17 MOK), Irgastab 17M and Irgastab 15 MOR have been described in the following three chapters. For each type of compound a detailed mechanism of the electrochemical process has been proposed and established. The electrochemical behaviour of organolead compounds and of the organogermanium compounds have been described in the next three chapters. In each case, the mechanism of reduction of these compounds has been established and methods 9fc their determina- tion at ordinary and at trace level have been developed. Finally, in the eighth chapter a brief intro- duction into the highspeed liquid chromatographic technique has been given and analysis of organotin compounds by this method using a wall-jet electrode detector has been described.

  • Toxicological Profile for Lead
    LEAD 355 CHAPTER 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE 5.1 OVERVIEW Pb and Pb compounds have been identified in at least 1,287 and 46 sites, respectively, of the 1,867 hazardous waste sites that have been proposed for inclusion on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL) (ATSDR 2019). However, the number of sites evaluated for Pb is not known. The number of sites in each state is shown in Figures 5-1 and 5-2, respectively. Of these 1,287 sites for Pb, 1,273 are located within the United States, 2 are located in the Virgin Islands, 2 are located in Guam, and 10 are located in Puerto Rico (not shown). All the sites for Pb compounds are only in the United States. Figure 5-1. Number of NPL Sites with Lead Contamination LEAD 356 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE Figure 5-2. Number of NPL Sites with Lead Compound Contamination • Pb is an element found in concentrated and easily accessible Pb ore deposits that are widely distributed throughout the world. • The general population may be exposed to Pb in ambient air, foods, drinking water, soil, and dust. For adults, exposure to levels of Pb beyond background are usually associated with occupational exposures. • For children, exposure to high levels of Pb are associated with living in areas contaminated by Pb (e.g., soil or indoor dust in older homes with Pb paint). Exposure usually occurs by hand-to- mouth activities. • As an element, Pb does not degrade. However, particulate matter contaminated with Pb can move through air, water, and soil.

    LOW AND ZERO SAPS ANTIWEAR ADDITIVES FOR ENGINE OILS by Juliane F. L. Benedet A Thesis submitted to Imperial College London in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and the Diploma of Imperial College. November 2012 Tribology Section Department of Mechanical Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine London PREFACE This thesis is a description of work carried out in the Tribology Section of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London, under the supervision of Professor Hugh A. Spikes. Except where acknowledged, this material is original work and no part of it has been submitted for a degree at this or any other university. ABSTRACT Almost all modern engine lubricants use the additive zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) to provide antiwear and extreme pressure protection. However existing and proposed emissions regulations include constraints in the concentration of ZDDP or other sulphated ash-, phosphorus- and sulphur- (SAPS) containing additives in engine oils, as well as limits to the permissible phosphorus loss from the oil in running engines. The deleterious effects of SAPS on exhaust aftertreatment systems from ZDDP decomposition has lead to a great interest in identifying alternative low and zero SAPS antiwear additives that can partially of fully replace ZDDP in the next generation of engine oils to extend the life of exhaust after-treatment systems. The aim of the work described in this thesis is to explore under the same test conditions, the film-forming, friction and wear-reducing properties of a very wide range of low and zero SAPS antiwear additives as possible replacements for ZDDP in engine oils, and, where additive types are effective, to investigate their mechanism of action.

The results of experiments showed that the hemolytic activity of organoleads increases with their hydrophobicity and follows the sequence: triethyllead chloride < tri-n- propyllead chloride < tributyllead chloride. And similarly in the case of organotins: triethyltin chloride < tri-n-propyltin chloride < tributyltin chloride. Comparison of the hemolytic activity of organoleads and organotins indicates that the lead compounds exhibit higher hemolytic activity. The methods of quantum chemistry allowed to determine the maximum electric potential of the ions R3Pb+ and R3Sn+, and suggest a relationship between the potential and toxicity.
