– Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)

– Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES, ICP-OES)

– Inductively couple plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)

– Ion chromatography (IC)

– Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs)

The Analytical Process

• Formulating the question → Selecting analytical procedures →Sampling → Sample preparation → Analysis → Reporting and interpretation → Drawing conclusions

• Classical methods (gravimetry, titrimetry)– Accurate

• Instrumental methods (electrochemistry, spectroscopy, chromatography, …)– Fast

– Sensitive

Spectroscopy

• Spectrophotometry is any technique that uses light to measurechemical concentrations

• Light waves consist of perpendicular, oscillating electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic radiation)

• Plane-polarized electromagnetic radiation of wavelength λ:

• Ordinary, unpolarized light has electric field components in all planes

Spectroscopy

• Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of bothwaves and particles

• Each wave has a certain wavelength, λ, and frequency, ν

νλ = c = speed of light (2.998×108 m/s in vacuum)

• Each particle (photon) carries a certain energy, E

E = hν (h = Planck’s constant = 6.626×108-34 Js)

What happens when a molecule absorbs light?

• Absorption of light increases the energy of a molecule

• Emission of light decreases the energy of a molecule

Excited singlet and triplet electronic states

• When a molecule absorbs a photon, the molecule is promoted to a more energetic excited state

• Excited state in which the spins are opposed is called a singlet state. If the spins are parallel we have a triplet state.

• In general vibrational and rotational transitions occur as well

Absorption of light

A substance/molecule absorbs light of the same

energy, which is required to excite the molecule to a

higher energy level

A substance absorbs light of CERTAIN SPECIFIC

WAVELENGTHS. The other wavelengths are not

absorbed !

Spectrophotometric analysis

• The absorbance of light is measured when a specificwavelength of light passes through the sample

• Monochromatic light = light with a specificwavelength

Irradiance, P

• P0 The irradiance of incoming light

• P The irradiance of outgoing light

• Irradiance, P, is the energy per second per unitarea of the light beam [W/m2]

• Irradiance, P, is also called intensity, I

P ≤ P0

Transmittance, T

• Transmittance is the fraction of the original light that passes through the sample

• T has the range 0 to 1

• Percent transmittance is 100×T and rangesbetween 0 and 100 %

Atomic spectroscopy

• In atomic spectroscopy, samples are vaporized and decomposed into atoms in a flame, furnace, or plasma at very high temperature (2000–8000 K).

• Elements in the vaporized sample absorb or emit lightat certain specific wavelengts

• Absorbed or emitted light is used to determine the concentration of the elements in the sample.

An important difference betweenatomic and molecular spectroscopy

• Absorption and emission bands of gaseous atomsare very narrow (~0.001 nm) in comparison to solidand liquid samples (~100 nm).

• Usually little overlap between spectra of differentelements in the sample

• Some instruments can measure more than 70 elements simultaneously

Atomic spectroscopy

• Principal tool of analytical chemistry

• High sensitivity

• Complex samples can be analysed

• Low concentrations can be measured– from ppm (µg/g) to ppt (pg/g) levels

• Multielement analysis possible

• Automated methods of analysis

Atomic spectroscopy

• Atomic spectroscopy divided into:

– Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)

– Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES)

– Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS)

Atomic emission spectroscopy

Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES)

• Collisions in the very hot plasma promote someatoms to excited electronic states from which theycan emit photons to return to lower energy states. Emission intensity is proportional to concentration.

• No lamp is needed

• Today AES is the dominant form of atomicspectroscopy

Atomization of the sample

• Decomposes the sample into atoms, whichcan be analyzed with different techniques

• Different methods of atomization:– Flame

– Electrically heated furnace

– Plasma

Flame atomization

• Premix burner

– Fuel, oxidant and

sample are mixed beforegoing into the flame

– The sample is transportedto the nebulizer through a thin capillary

Flame atomization

• Nebulizer– Creates an aerosol

from the liquidsample

Flame atomization

• Glass bead– Splits the aerosol to even

smaller particles

• Baffles– Mix the aerosol

– Drops of the same sizepasses to the flame (largerdrops are trapped by the baffles)

– ∼5% of the aerosol reachesthe flame

Flame atomization

• Drop size distribution– The drop size distribution should be even in order to

obtain a stable signal with small relative standarddeviation

Flame atomization

• Combinations of fuel and oxidant– A mixture of acetylene and air is commonly used

Flame atomization

• The flame– Aerosol (sample) entering the preheating region is

heated in the primary reaction cone (blue cone)

– Combustion is completed in the outer cone

Furnaces

• An electrically heatedgraphite furnace– More sensitive than a

flame (the atomizedsample stays longer in the optical path in the furnace)

– Requires less sample(1 – 100 µl)

– Maximum recommendedtemperature: 2550 oC

Electrically heated graphite furnace

• L´vov platform– Gives more uniform

heating of the sample

– Solid samples can be analysed withoutsample preparation

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP)

• The temperature is twice as hot as a combustionflame


• T = 6000–10000 K

• Plasma: partially ionized electrically conductinggas (the fourth aggregation state)

• The high temperature, stability and relatively inertAr environment in the plasma eliminate much of the interference encountered with flames.


• Two induction coils (27 MHz or 41 MHz) around the quarz tube

• High-purity Ar is used as plasma gas

• A spark generated by the Tesla coilresults in ionization of the argon gas

• Free electrons are accelerated by the radio-frequency field and collidewith atoms:

⇒ transfers energy to the Ar gas⇒ keeps the temp. at 6000-10000 K

• Argon coolant gas protects the torchfrom overheating.

The Boltzmann distribution

• The degree of atomization of the sample is determined bythe temperature and shows how much of the sample is in the ground and excited state.

N*: number of atoms in the excited stateN0: number of atoms in the ground stateg*: number of excited statesg0: number of ground statesT: temperature (K)k: Boltzmann’s constant (1.381×10-23 J/K)

Inductively coupled plasma opticalemission spectroscopy (ICP-OES)

• Also called: inductively coupled plasma atomicemission spectroscopy (ICP-AES)

• ICP-OES allows multielement analysis and giveslower detection limits than flame-AAS.

• Sensitivity is improved further by detecting ions witha mass spectrometer (ICP-MS)

Inductively coupled plasma–massspectrometry (ICP-MS)

• Solid samples can be analysed by using laser ablation (LA-ICP-MS)

Detection limits of atomic spectroscopy(ng/g = ppb ”parts per billion”)

Chromatography

• Chromatography follows the same principle as extraction, but one phase is held in place (stationary phase) and the other phase moves (mobile phase) past it.

• If solute A has agreater affinity than solute B to the stationary phase, then A moves more slowly:

Two types of columns:- Packed

- Open tubular

Adsorption chromatography- separates molecules by adsorption on a solid phase

• Stationary phase

– Solid

• Mobile phase

– Liquid or gas

Partition chromatography- separates molecules by partitioning into a liquid phase


– Liquid bonded to a solid surface(SiO2)

• Mobile phase

– Gas

Ion-exchange chromatography- separates ions by electrostatic interactions


– Anions such as –SO3-

or cations, such as –N(CH3)3

+ are covalently attachedto a solid phase(resin)

• Mobile phase

– Liquid

Molecular exclusion chromatography-separates molecules by size

• Also called: gel filtration or gel permeation chromatography


– Porous gel

• Mobile phase

– Liquid or gas

Affinity chromatography- separates molecules by selective molecular interactions


– Selective moleculesare covalentlyattached(immobilized) to the stationary phase

• Mobile phase

– Liquid

The chromatogram

• Retention time: tr

• Adjusted retention time: tr´ = tr – tm

– where tm is the minimum retention time (unretained mobile phase)

• Relative retention (for components 1 and 2): α = tr´2 / tr´1

– where tr´2 > tr´1 (α >1)

The chromatogram• For each peak in the chromatogram the capacity factor, k´,

is defined as:k´ = (tr – tm)/tm = tr´ / tm

– The longer a component is retained by the column, the greater is the capacity factor

• The capacitay factor is related to the partition coefficient, K, (known from solvent extraction), where Vs is the volumeof the stationary phase and Vm is the volume of the mobile phase:

k´ = K×(Vs/Vm)

• Relative retention (for components 1 and 2) can also be expressed as:

α = tr´2 / tr´1 = k´2 / k´1 = K 2 / K 1

Efficiency of separation

• Two factors contribute to how well twocomponents are separated by chromatography:– Difference in elution times between peaks: ∆tr

– The average width of the two peaks: wav

Efficiency of separation

• Resolution = ∆tr / wav

Column efficiency

• Plate height: H = σ2 / x– where σ is the standard deviation of the Gaussian band

and x is the distance travelled

• Plate height, H, is the constant of proportionalitybetween the variance, σ2, of the band and the distance it has travelled, x.

• The smaller the plate height, the narrower the bandwidth.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC)

• HPLC uses high pressure to force solvent through closedcolumns containing very fine particles that give high-resolution separations.


• The column– Length: 5–30 cm

– Inner diameter: 1–5 mm

• The guard column– Replaceable

– Collects irreversiblyadsorbed impurities


• The stationary phase


• The stationary phase– Commonly microporous particles of silica


• The stationary phase– Commonly: R = octadecyl (C18)

– ODS = octadecylsilane


• In adsorption chromatography, solvent moleculescompete with solute molecules for sites on the stationary phase

• The eluent strength, εo, is a measure of the solventadsorption energy– εo for pentane is defined as 0 for adsorption on bare

silica


• Normal-phase chromatography– Polar stationary phase

– More polar solvent has higher eluent strength

• Reversed-phase chromatography– Nonpolar stationary phase

– Less polar solvent has higher eluent strength


• Isocratic elution– Elution is performed with a single solvent (or constant

solvent mixture)

• Gradient elution– Increasing amounts of solvent B are added to solvent A

to create a continuous gradient

– Used to obtain sufficiently rapid elution of allcomponents

Injection and detection in HPLC

• Injection valve

Injection and detection in HPLC

• Detector– Sensitive to low concentrations of every analyte

– Provides linear response

– Does not broaden the eluted peaks

– Insensitive to changes in temperature and solvent composition

Ion Chromatography (IC)

• Ion chromatography (IC) is a high-performanceversion of ion-exchange chromatography that is used for separation and determination of ions

• Ion chromatography (IC) has many commonfeatures with HPLC

Ion Chromatography (IC)

• Suppressed-ion anion chromatography– A mixture of anions is separated by ion-exchange and

detected by electrical conductivity

• Suppressed-ion cation chromatography– A mixture of cations is separated by ion-exchange and

detected by electrical conductivity

• Suppression = removal of unwanted electrolyteprior to conductivity measurement

• In process analysis, each industry has a different ”wish list”

in terms of species to be monitored and the concentration

range of interest

– ISEs should be developed and tested for each case !

Selectivity of ion-selective electrodes

• The potential of an ion-selective electrode is determinedprimarily by the activity of the main ion (primary ion = i) but also other ions (interfering ions = j) may contribute to the potential.

• The influence of interfering ions is given by the selectivitycoefficient (Ki,j) included in the Nicolsky-Eisenman-equation:

• This equation has some limitations in those cases when the primary (i) and interfering (j) ions have different charge.
