Vývoj metody pro stanovení loadingu aminokyselin při syntéze peptidů na pevné fázi / Development of method for determining aminoacid loading in solid phase peptide synthesisMácha, Hynek January 2018 (has links)
A simple method has been developed to determine amino acid loading in solid phase peptide synthesis. The method is applicable for the most common type of synthesis, which use FMOC as protective group and piperidine as a deprotecting agent. Both products of deprotection reaction are separated by HPLC and determined using an UV detector; an internal standard is added. The method gives true values that have been verified by an independent method. The RSD is 1.52%. The method is more accurate than the published methods and allows the determination from the waste of synthesis. The employing of the internal standard eliminated the necessity of dilution accuracy or known volumes.

Optimering av 31P-NMR spektroskopi för analys av hydroxylgrupper i lignin / Optimization of 31P NMR spectroscopy for analysis of hydroxyl groups in ligninFredriksson, Josefin January 2018 (has links)
Lignin är en restprodukt från massaindustrin som har stor potential för vidareanvändning i bland annat materialutveckling. För att utreda möjliga användningsområden för ett specifikt lignin är det viktigt att ha kunskap om ligninets molekylstruktur och bindningar. 31P-NMR spektroskopi kan användas som analysmetod för kvantifiering av hydroxylgrupperna hos lignin. Vid användning av 31P-NMR spektroskopi måste ligninprovet först derivatiseras med ett derivatiserings-reagens innehållande fosfor. Till analyserna behövs en lämplig intern standard för att kunna beräkna halten av de olika strukturelementen i lignin. RISE Research Institutes of Sweden ville se om det gick att komplettera analyserna av lignins struktur med hjälp av ett nytt derivatiserings-reagens, DR(I) (2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane). Tidigare har derivatiserings-reagenset DR(II) (2-chloro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane) använts. Det nya derivatiserings-reagenset DR(I) har en liknande struktur men är en mindre molekyl och förväntades därför kunna analysera fler strukturelement som tidigare inte kunnat påvisas. Projektet har undersökt 10 olika interna standarder med DR(I) i syfte att hitta den bästa interna standarden. Den första som undersöktes är den som används med DR(II), N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imine. Av de undersökta interna standarderna är tre tagna från tidigare litteratur och sex är tidigare helt obeprövade. Samtliga undersöktes både som blankprov och med ett utvalt barrveds-kraftlignin. N-hydroxy-1,8-naftalimid (intern standard 4) var bäst baslinjeupplöst men inte tillräckligt stabil för att kunna användas som intern standard. Bisfenol-A (intern standard 3) var den interna standard som var den mest stabila och alla stabilitetstest utfördes med denna interna standard som referens. Av de tidigare obeprövade interna standarderna är det endast N-hydroxysuccinimide (intern standard 5) som kan användas som intern standard, dock är den inte tillräckligt stabil. N-hydroxy-5-norborene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imine (intern standard 1) ansågs vara den bäst lämpade interna standarden. Denna prövades med olika typer av kraftlignin; barrveds-kraftlignin, lövveds-kraftlignin samt ett blandlignin. Den undersöktes även med ”milled wood lignin”. För detta lignin var det uppenbart att den valda interna standarden inte var helt optimal. En annan intern standard med bättre baslinjeupplösning skulle vara ett bättre alternativ för ”milled wood lignin”. Relaxationstiden mättes även för intern standard 1 och de olika strukturerna i ligninet. RISE Research Institutes of Sweden kan använda DR(I) som komplement till den nuvarande analysen med DR(II) vid beräkning av mängden av de sekundära alifatiska grupperna. En uppdelning av de olika formerna (erythro och threo) av den vanligaste bindningen hos lignin, β-O-4-bindningen, går också att urskilja. Eftersom denna bindning bryts i sulfatmassaprocessen är signalen svag, vilket gör att en uppdelning av erythro och threo vid beräkningarna av hydroxylgrupperna inte är relevant. / Lignin is a residue from the pulp industry, which has great potential for further use, including material development. To investigate possible uses for a specific lignin, it is important to have knowledge of the lignin's molecular structure. 31P NMR spectroscopy can be used when quantifying the hydroxyl groups of lignin. When using 31P NMR spectroscopy, the lignin sample must be derivatized with a phosphorous reagent. The analysis requires an appropriate internal standard to calculate the amount of the different structural elements in lignin. RISE Research Institutes of Sweden wishes to complement the analyzes of lignin structures using a new derivatization reagent, DR(I) (2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane). Previously, the derivatization reagent DR(II) (2-chloro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane) has been used. The new derivatization reagent DR(I) has a similar structure but is a smaller molecule. In this report, 10 different internal standards have been examined with DR(I) to find the most suitable one. The first internal standard, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imine, was used with DR(II). Three internal standards were from articles and six were previously unexamined. All of these were first tested as blanks without lignin and then with a selected softwood lignin. N-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide (internal standard 4) showed the best resolution but was not stable enough to be used as an internal standard. Bisphenol A (internal standard 3) was the most stable derivatized internal standard and the stability tests were performed with this internal standard as a reference. Of the previously unexamined internal standards, N-hydroxysuccinimide (internal standard 5) was the only appropriate internal standard to use. However, it was not as stable as N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imine (internal standard 1), which was found to be the most suitable internal standard. N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imine (internal standard 1) was examined with different types of kraft lignin; softwood kraft lignin, hardwood kraft lignin and a mixture kraft lignin. N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imine was also investigated with "milled wood lignin". For ”milled wood lignin” it became obvious that the resolution of the selected internal standard can be improved. Another internal standard that has not been examined in this report could be a better option. The relaxation time was also determined for N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imine and the different hydroxyl groups of lignin. RISE Research Institutes of Sweden can use DR(I) in analysis of kraft lignin as a complement to the currently used method with DR(II) for calculating the amount of secondary aliphatic groups. A differentiation of erythro and threo of the most common binding (β-O-4) can also be noted with these lignins with DR(I). Since this bond is broken to a large extent in the kraft process, the signal is week. This means that when calculating the hydroxyl groups, a separation of erythro and threo is not relevant.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Environmental Analysis: Optimization and QuantitationWei, Haoran 27 February 2018 (has links)
Fast, sensitive, quantitative, and low-cost analysis of environmental pollutants is highly valuable for environmental monitoring. Due to its single-molecule sensitivity and fingerprint specificity, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been widely employed for heavy metal, organic compound, and pathogen detection. However, SERS quantitation is challenging because 1) analytes do not stay in the strongest enhancing region ("hot spots") and 2) SERS reproducibility is poor. In this dissertation, gold nanoparticle/bacterial cellulose (AuNP/BC) substrates were developed to improve SERS sensitivity by increasing hot spot density within the laser excitation volume. Environmentally relevant organic amines were fixed at "hot spots" by lowering solution pH below the analyte pKa and thus enabling SERS quantitation. In addition, a new SERS internal standard was developed based upon the electromagnetic enhancement mechanism that relates Rayleigh (elastic) and Raman (in-elastic) scattering. Rayleigh scattering arising from the amplified spontaneous emission of the excitation laser was employed as a normalization factor to minimize the inherent SERS signal variation caused by the heterogeneous distribution of "hot spots" across a SERS substrate. This highly novel technique, hot spot-normalized SERS (HSNSERS), was subsequently applied to evaluate the efficiency of SERS substrates, provide in situ monitoring of ligand exchange kinetics on the AuNP surface, and to reveal the relationship between the pKa of aromatic amines and their affinity to citrate-coated AuNPs (cit-AuNPs). Finally, colloidally stable stable pH nanoprobes were synthesized using co-solvent mediated AuNP aggregation and subsequent coating of poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG). These nanoprobes were applied for pH detection in cancer cells and in phosphate buffered aerosol droplets. The latter experiments suggest that stable pH gradients exist in aerosol droplets. / PHD

Previous issue date: 2017-02-22 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / O objetivo desta Tese de Doutorado foi avaliar o método de adição de padrão interno empregando técnicas espectroscópicas. Inicialmente o método de adição de padrão interno foi aplicado no modo convencional na determinação de Ca e Mg em amostras biodiesel e urina por espectrometria de absorção atômica em chama de alta resolução e fonte contínua e na determinação de ureia em urina por espectroscopia Raman. Para fins comparativos, todas as amostras e materiais certificados foram também analisados pelos métodos de calibração externa, adição de padrão e padronização interna. Nitrato, Sr e Mn foram selecionados como padrões internos para ureia, Ca e Mg, respectivamente. Para avaliar a exatidão do método na determinação de Ca e Mg foram analisados nove materiais de referência certificados (CRM) e os resultados obtidos foram concordantes a 95% de confiança com os valores certificados (teste t). Para ureia a exatidão foi avaliada por meio de comparação dos resultados obtidos pelo método de adição de padrão interno e por um método de referência. Todos os resultados obtidos foram concordantes entre si (teste t pareado) ao nível de 95% de confiança. A exatidão do método também foi checada por meio de testes de adição e recuperação: Ca (93 – 119%), Mg (100 – 116%) e ureia (99 – 105%). A desvantagem do método de adição de padrão interno convencional foi o volume total de amostra utilizado, a quantidade de soluções analíticas empregadas e a baixa frequência analítica. No entanto, este problemas foram solucionados com o desenvolvimento de sistemas em fluxo e pelo uso de um gradiente de concentração. O método de adição de padrão interno por gradiente de concentração em fluxo foi avaliado na determinação de Na e K em amostras de biodiesel e urina por espectrometria de emissão atômica em chama e na determinação de etanol em gasolina por espectroscopia Raman. Lítio foi empregado como padrão interno para Na e K, e acetona foi utilizada como padrão interno para etanol. A exatidão do método na determinação de Na e K foi avaliada por meio da análise de cinco CRMs, e os resultados obtidos para Na foram concordantes a 95% de confiança com os valores certificados (teste t), para K os resultados apresentaram valores subestimados ao longo do trabalho (em torno de 80% de recuperação). Para determinação de etanol em gasolina a exatidão foi avaliada por meio da comparação dos resultados obtidos pelo método proposto e pelo método de referência, e todos os resultados obtidos foram concordantes entre si (teste t pareado) ao nível de 95% de confiança. A exatidão do método de adição de padrão interno por gradiente de concentração em fluxo também foi avaliada por meio de testes de adição e recuperação: Na (94 – 110%), K (73 – 86%) e etanol (99 – 104%). Os resultados obtidos utilizando o método de adição de padrão interno (convencional e em fluxo) em todas as aplicações apresentaram precisão e exatidão melhores ou comparáveis aos métodos de adição de padrão, padronização interna e calibração externa, mostrando ser uma estratégia de calibração eficiente para técnicas espectroscópicas. / The aim of this Doctoral Thesis was to evaluation of the internal standard addition method employing spectroscopic techniques. Initially, traditional standard addition method was applied for Ca and Mg determination in biodiesel and urine samples by high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry and for urea determination in urine samples by Raman spectroscopy. For comparison purposes, all samples and certified materials were also analyzed by external calibration, standard addition and internal standardization methods. Nitrate, Sr and Mn were selected as internal standards for urea, Ca and Mg, respectively. In order to verify the accuracy for Ca and Mg determination were analyzed nine certified reference materials (CRM), the results were in agreement with certified values at the 95% confidence level (t-test). For urea, the accuracy was evaluated by comparison of the results obtained by internal standard addition and a reference method. All results were in agreement at 95% confidence level (paired t-test) with each other. The accuracy was also checked by addition and recovery tests: Ca (93 - 119%), Mg (100 - 116%) and urea (99 - 105%). The drawbacks of traditional internal standard addition were the total volume of sample used, the amount of analytical solutions employed and the lower sample throughput. However, these problems were solved with the development of flow systems and the use of a concentration gradient. The internal standard addition by flow gradient concentration was evaluated for Na and K determination in biodiesel and urine samples by flame emission atomic spectrometry and for ethanol determination in gasoline by Raman spectroscopy. Lithium was selected as internal standard for Na and K, and acetone was selected as internal standard for ethanol. The accuracy of the method for Na and K determination was evaluated by five CRMs analysis, and the results obtained for Na were in agreement with certified values at the 95% confidence level (t-test), for K the results presented underestimated values throughout the study (around 80% recovery). The accuracy for ethanol determination in gasoline was evaluated comparing the results obtained by the proposed method with the reference method. All results were in agreement at 95% confidence level (paired t-test) with each other. The accuracy of internal standard addition by flow gradient concertation method was also evaluated by addition and recovery tests: Na (94 - 110%), K (73 - 86%) e ethanol (99 - 104%). The results obtained by internal standard addition (traditional and flow modes) for all applications showed accuracy and precision better or comparable with traditional calibration methods (standard addition, internal standardization and external calibration), revealing to be an efficient calibration strategy for spectroscopic techniques. / FAPESP: 2012/23323-7

Avaliação de métodos analíticos para determinação de Na, K, Ca, Mg, P e S em biodiesel por ICP OES / Evaluation of analytical methods for the determination of Na, K, Ca, Mg, P and S by ICP OESRainone, Raquel 30 January 2012 (has links)
Esse trabalho avaliou três diferentes procedimentos de preparo de amostra para determinação de Na, K, Ca, Mg, P e S em biodiesel por ICP OES. O primeiro procedimento avaliado foi uma modificação daquele proposto pela ANP para o controle da qualidade do biodiesel, onde a amostra foi introduzida diretamente no equipamento com e sem diluição em solvente orgânico (querosene ou xilol). Essa forma de preparo, apesar de ser bastante simples, apresentou interferências físicas graves que só puderam ser corrigidas com o uso de vaselina líquida nas soluções de calibração do equipamento para igualar a viscosidade às amostras e com o uso do carbono como padrão interno. O segundo método estudado baseou-se na introdução de biodiesel na forma de emulsão. Para esse caso, preparou-se emulsões contendo 500 mg de biodiesel, 1% m v-1 de Triton X-100 como agente emulsificante e 10% v v-1 de ácido nítrico, misturados com água ultra-pura até o volume final de 10 mL. Esse método de preparo foi bastante simples e eliminou as grandes dificuldades de se trabalhar com solução orgânica no plasma. No entanto, o agente emulsificante apresentou elevadas concentrações de alguns dos analitos, aumentando o sinal dos brancos, além de gerar resultados com altos desvios padrões. O terceiro método foi a digestão das amostras usando aquecimento assistido por micro-ondas. Esse método eliminou quase que completamente a matriz orgânica, gerando os menores limites de detecção e tornou a introdução da amostra no equipamento mais fácil. Contudo, o tempo de preparo da amostra para o método da digestão, assim como os custos associados a este método, foram os maiores obtidos em relação aos outros. Outro ponto negativo foi e elevado fator de diluição desse método que dificultou a detecção dos analitos. Testes de adição e recuperação de analitos foram realizados nos três métodos e os resultados obtidos nos três casos ficaram dentro da faixa considerada satisfatória de 80 a 120% de recuperação. Ao final do desenvolvimento, 7 amostras foram analisadas pelos três métodos e seus resultados comparados. Em certos casos, a comparação foi dificultada pelo grande número de resultados abaixo dos limites de detecção. No entanto, pôde-se observar que, com exceção do S, os resultados obtidos pelos diferentes métodos não apresentaram boa concordância entre si. Entretanto, devido à falta de material certificado, não se pode avaliar qual método seria o mais exato. Todavia, considerando-se o preparo mais simples e com a menor taxa de diluição, a análise de biodiesel puro (100%), com o uso do carbono como padrão interno foi considerado o método com resultados mais confiáveis. / The present work has evaluated three different sample preparation methods for determination of Na, K, Ca, Mg, P and S in Biodiesel by ICP OES. The first one was similar to the method required by ANP for Biodiesel quality control, based on the introduction of organic samples into the ICP. In this case, the samples were analyzed with and without dilution in organic solvents (kerosene or xylol). Even though this sample preparation procedure has shown to be very simple, the physical interferences observed were severe and required the use of two different strategies to be overcome: addition of high viscosity oil (vaseline) to the calibration solutions and carbon as internal standard. The second method was based on the introduction of Biodiesel emulsion into the ICP. These emulsions were prepared by the addition of 500 mg of sample, 1% w v-1 Triton X-100 as emulsifying agent and 10% v v-1 of nitric acid in ultrapure water up to 10 mL of final volume. Although this simple sample preparation method has eliminated the challenges associated with the use of organic solvents, the blank solution presented a high concentration of some analytes, due to the contamination by the emulsifying agent and this method generated results with high blank signal and standard deviation. The third method was based on microwave assisted digestion of Biodiesel samples. This method was the only one capable of eliminating the organic matrix and all the challenges associated with it, which made the sample introduction easier and improved the method detection limits. Nevertheless, the time consumed in this sample preparation was higher than in the other cases, as also were the associated costs of analysis. The dilution factor was also very high, making difficult the detection of the analytes. The spike recoveries obtained for each method were in the range of 80 to 120%, which were considered satisfactory. Seven different samples were analyzed by each method, but the comparison of the results was difficult because many results were lower than the detection limits. Even though, it was possible to conclude that the concentrations obtained in each method were very different for all elements, excluding S. Without a certified reference material, it was not possible to point out which results were more exact, but considering the simpler sample preparation procedure, with the lower dilution factor, we concluded that the direct analysis of Biodiesel 100%, using carbon as an internal standard was the method that presented more reliable results

Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Epoxides in Gas Phase Reactions / Gaskromatografiskt och Masspektrometrisk Analys av Epoxider i GasfasreaktionerKylington, Stephanie January 2022 (has links)
En nyligen genomförd studie visade att reaktioner mellan vissa radikaler och omättade alkener är snabbare vid rumstemperatur än vad man tidigare har trott. Dessa reaktioner är viktiga för atmosfäriska oxidationscykler och följaktligen var syftet med detta masterprojekt att beräkna hastighetskonstanterna för dessa reaktioner mellan metyljodid och 1-jodidpentan med tetrametyletylen, isopren och limonen vid rumstemperatur genom att kvantifiera respektive epoxid; tetrametyloxiran, isoprenmonoxid och limonen 1,2 epoxid, som producerades. För att uppfylla syftet utfördes experiment på referensföreningarna tetrametyletylen, isoprenmonoxid, limonen och limonen 1,2 epoxid och på prover tagna från en kolonnflödesreaktor. Dessa experiment genomfördes för att kunna utveckla en lämplig provtagningsmetod och analysmetod med termisk desorptionsenhet samt gaskromatografi och masspektrometri (TD-GCMS). Slutsatsen som drogs var att Tenax® TA adsorbentrör är kompatibla med dessa ämnen och att den föreslagna TD-GCMS metoden är effektiv. Dessutom drogs slutsatsen att tetrametyloxiran inte hittades i reaktorproverna (varken i alkenproverna eller reaktorproverna), vilket resulterade i att hastighetskonstanten inte kunde beräknas. Dessutom var kvantifiering av reaktorproverna inte möjlig. / A recent study has shown that the reaction between some radicals and unsaturated alkenes is faster at room temperature than previously believed. These reactions are important for atmospheric oxidation cycles and therefore the purpose of this master project was to measure the rate coefficients for the reactions between methyl iodine and 1-iodopentane with tetramethylethylene, isoprene and limonene at room temperature by quantifying the respective epoxide; tetramethyloxirane, isoprene monoxide and limonene 1,2 epoxide, produced. In order to fulfill the purpose, experiments were conducted using the reference compounds of tetramethylethylene, isoprene monoxide, limonene and limonene 1,2 epoxide and on column flow reactor samples produced in the above mentioned reactions. These were performed in order to be able to develop an appropriate sampling method, and analysis method using thermal desorption unit gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (TD-GCMS). It was concluded that Tenax® TA adsorbent tubes are compatible with these substances and that the TD-GCMS method suggested is appropriate. It was also concluded that no tetramethyloxirane was found in the reactor samples (neither in alkene samples nor after the reactions), resulting in that it was not possible to calculate the rate coefficient. Moreover, the quantification of the reactor samples was not possible.

Analysis of Lipids in Kidney Tissue Using High Resolution MALDI Mass Spectrometry ImagingAboulmagd Khodier, Sarah 25 September 2018 (has links)
Massenspektrometrisches Imaging (MSI) ist unverzichtbar für die Untersuchung der räumlichen Verteilung von Molekülen in einer Vielzahl von biologischen Proben. Seit seiner Einführung hat sich MALDI zu einer dominierenden Bildgebungsmethode entwickelt, die sich als nützlich erwiesen hat, um die Komplexität von Lipidstrukturen in biologischen Geweben zu bestimmen.
Einerseits ist die Rolle von Cisplatin bei der Behandlung von menschlichen malignen Erkrankungen gut etabliert, jedoch ist Nephrotoxizität eine limitierende Nebenwirkung, die Veränderungen des renalen Lipidprofils beinhaltet. Dies führte zu der Motivation, die Lipidzusammensetzung des Nierengewebes in mit Cisplatin behandelten Ratten zu untersuchen, um die involvierten Lipid-Signalwege aufzuklären. Es wurde eine Methode zur Kartierung der Lipidzusammensetzung in Nierenschnitten unter Verwendung von MALDI MSI entwickelt. Die Verteilung von Nierenlipiden in Cisplatin-behandelten Proben zeigte deutliche Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Kontrollgruppen.
Darüber hinaus wurde die Beurteilung der Ionenbilder von Lipiden in Cisplatin-behandelten Nieren meist als qualitative Aspekte betrachtet. Relative quantitative Vergleiche wurden durch den variablen Einfluss von experimentellen und instrumentellen Bedingungen begrenzt. Daher bestand die Notwendigkeit, ein Normalisierungsverfahren zu entwickeln, das einen Vergleich der Lipidintensität verschiedener Proben ermöglicht. Das Verfahren verwendete einen Tintenstrahldrucker, um eine Mischung der MALDI-Matrix und der internen internen Lipid-Metall-Standards aufzubringen. Unter Verwendung von ICP-MS erlaubte der interne Metallstandard, die Konsistenz der Matrix und der internen Standards zu bestätigen. Die Anwendung der Methode zur Normalisierung von Ionenintensitäten von Nierenlipiden zeigte eine ausgezeichnete Bildkorrektur und ermöglichte einen relativen quantitativen Vergleich von Lipidbildern in Cisplatin-behandelten Proben. / Mass spectrometry imaging is indispensable for studying the spatial distribution of molecules within a diverse range of biological samples. Since its introduction, MALDI has become a dominant imaging method, which proved useful to sort out the complexity of lipid structures in biological tissues.
The role of cisplatin in the treatment of human malignancies is well-established. However, nephrotoxicity is a limiting side effect that involves an acute injury of the proximal tubule and alterations in the renal lipid profile. This evolved the motivation to study the spatial distribution of lipids in the kidney tissue of cisplatin-treated rats to shed light on the lipid signaling pathways involved. A method for mapping of lipid distributions in kidney sections using MALDI-LTQ-Orbitrap was developed, utilizing the high performance of orbitrap detection. The distribution of kidney lipids in cisplatin-treated samples revealed clear differences with respect to control group, which could be correlated to the proximal tubule injury. The findings highlight the usefulness of MALDI MSI as complementary tool for clinical diagnostics.
Furthermore, assessment of the ion images of lipids in cisplatin-treated kidney mostly considered qualitative aspects. Relative quantitative comparisons were limited by the variable influence of experimental and instrumental conditions. Hence, the necessity developed to establish a normalization method allowing comparison of lipid intensity in MALDI imaging measurements of different samples. The method employed an inkjet printer to apply a mixture of the MALDI matrix and dual lipid-metal internal standards. Using ICP-MS, the metal internal standard allowed to confirm the consistency of the matrix and internal standards application. Applying the method to normalize ion intensities of kidney lipids demonstrated excellent image correction and successfully enabled relative quantitative comparison of lipid images in control and cisplatin-treated samples.

Quantitative NMR-Spektroskopie als Referenzverfahren in der analytischen ChemieMalz, Frank 10 July 2003 (has links)
Die Globalisierung von Handel und Wirtschaft macht es nötig, nationale Analysenergebnisse international gegenseitig anzuerkennen. Dabei kann die Richtigkeit der Analysenwerte durch Ruckführung auf Einheitsnormale mittels Primärmethoden, Zertifizierte Referenzmaterialien (ZRM) und Referenzverfahren gewährleistet werden. Die quantitative hochauflösende 1H-SP-NMR bietet sich aufgrund ihrer ausgezeichneten Selektivität und ihrem Potenzial als relative Primärmethode geradezu als Referenzverfahren an. Für vier wichtige Anwendungsbereiche (Bestimmung von Stoffmengenverhältnissen und -anteilen in mol/mol bzw. mol/mol %, der Reinheitsbestimmung über die Hauptkomponentenanalyse in g/g % und der Gehaltsbestimmung in mg/g) wurden anhand idealer Modellsysteme in Lösung (5-Komponenten: Ethyl-4-toluolsulfonat, [2,2]-Paracyclophan, Durol, Cyclododekan, Oktamethylcyclotetrasiloxan; Maleinsäure; 3-Trimethyl-2,2,3,3-tetradeuteropropionsäure-Natriumsalz (TSP)) die Messgleichungen und vollständigen Unsicherheitsbudgets aufgestellt sowie Arbeitsanweisungen zur quantitativen Aufnahme und Auswertung von 1H-NMR-Messungen erarbeitet. Dazu war für die Reinheits- und Gehaltsbestimmung ein System interner NMR-Standards aufzubauen (ZRM Benzoesäure, Maleinsäure, TSP-Lösung, Durol), das den Forderungen nach metrologischer Rückführung genügte. Zur Minimierung der Messunsicherheit wurden systematisch die Einflüsse gerätespezifischer Parameter und der Auswertung umfangreich untersucht und quantifiziert. Mittels mitorganisierter nationaler und internationaler CCQM-Ringversuche konnten allgemeingültige (unabhängig von der Gerätekonfiguration) Aussagen über die Messunsicherheit der Methoden bzw. Verfahren getroffen werden. Für realitätsbezogene Fragestellungen der Reinheitsbestimmung möglicher Referenzmaterialien für den pharmazeutischen Bereich (Spiraeosid, Thymol, Loganin) sowie von Xylol-Isomeren-Gemischen und der Gehaltsbestimmung 0,1%-iger wässriger Ethanollösungen mussten teilweise die quantitative 1H-entkoppelte 13C-NMR validiert und der quantitative Einsatz der 1H-Wasserunterdrückung (Presaturation) erstmalig entwickelt werden. Um die Güte der quantitativen NMR-Verfahren als Referenzverfahren bewertet zu können, wurde durch Beteiligung an internationalen Ringversuchen auf höchstem metrologischen Niveau (CCQM) deren Messunsicherheiten mit denen anderer analytischer Verfahren verglichen. Es konnten somit vier Referenzverfahren durch Dokumentation der Prüfbereiche, Messunsicherheiten und Einsatzgebiete der quantitativen hochauflösenden 1H- und 13C-NMR formuliert werden. / The globalisation of trade and economics makes requires mutual international recognition of analytical measurement results. The trueness of analytical results can be secured by establishing traceability to measurement standards for SI units using primary methods, certified reference materials (CRM) and reference methods. The quantitative high resolution 1H-SP-NMR offers itself as reference method due to its excellent selectivity and its potential as relative primary method. For four important areas of application (determination of amount-of-substance ratios and fractions in mol/mol and mol/mol %, respectively, purity determination by main component analysis in g/g %, and determination of minor component mass fractions in mg/g) the measuring equations and complete uncertainty budgets were set up, and work instructions for the acquisition and evaluation of quantitative 1H-NMR measurements were compiled, on the basis of ideal model systems in solution (5 components: Ethyl-4-toluenesulfonate, [2,2]-Paracyclophane, Durene, Cyclododecane, Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane; Maleic acid; 3-Trimethyl-2,2,3,3-tetradeuteropropionic acid sodium salt (TSP)). In addition, a system of internal NMR standards had to be built up (CRM benzoic acid, maleic acid, TSP solution, Durene) for the determination of composition and purity, which meets the demands for metrological traceability. For the minimization of measurement uncertainty, the influences of instrument-specific parameters and data evaluation techniques were extensively examined and quantified. By means of national and jointly organized international CCQM intercomparisons generally applicable statements (independent of the measuring system configuration) about the measurement uncertainty for the different methods could be specified. For addressing real-life problems in purity determination of prospective reference substances for the pharmaceutical field (spiraeoside, thymol, loganin) as well as of xylene isomer mixtures and the analysis of 0,1 % aqueous ethanol solutions, the quantitative 1H-decoupled 13C-NMR had to be validated in part and the quantitative application of the 1H water suppression (presaturation) was developed for the first time. In order to estimate the power of quantitative NMR as a reference method, measurement uncertainties were compared with those of other analytical methods by participation in international intercomparisons on the highest metrological level (CCQM). Thus, four reference methods of the quantitative high resolution 1H- and 13C-NMR could be specified in terms of measuring ranges, measurement uncertainties and application fields.

Desenvolvimento de método para a determinação de irídio, paládio, platina e ródio por ICP OES em sílica mesoporosa para uso catalítico / Development of method for the determination of iridium, palladium, platinum and rhodium in mesoporosa silica for catalyst use by ICP OESSousa, Valeska Meirelles 10 July 2012 (has links)
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar parâmetros tais como, moagem, tamanho de partículas, homogeneidade, segregação, dissolução de amostras e amostragem de suspensão, visando o desenvolvimento de método para a determinação de Ir, Pd, Pt e Rh por espectrometria de emissão óptica com plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP OES) em sílica mesoporosa para uso catalítico. Após a moagem em moinho eletrônico de almofariz e pistilo, a análise do tamanho e distribuição das partículas revelou que 89% das partículas apresentam tamanhos <100 µm e 23% com tamanho <5 µm. Na avaliação de segregação dos analitos na amostra, os resultados obtidos para amostra com moagem grosseira, indicaram que os elementos estão distribuídos de maneira heterogênea entre as frações. Entretanto, a moagem fina aumentou a homogeneidade e esta pode ser uma etapa importante e necessária no sentido de evitar segregação da amostra. A análise por difração e de Raios-X mostrou que não ocorreram reações mecanoquímicas durante a moagem e por fluorescência de Raios-X forneceu resultados discrepantes entre os laboratórios, o pode estar relacionado com a heterogeneidade que induziu erros de amostragem. A avaliação de desempenho do ICP OES foi feita a partir do estabelecimento de parâmetros de mérito como seletividade, repetibilidade, estabilidade, robutez e limite de detecção. Na otimização foram considerados os parâmetros potência, vazão de nebulização e vazão de gás auxiliar. Foi feito um estudo em solução aquosa e em meio da amostra para escolha das linhas de emissão dos elementos Ir, Pd, Pt, Rh e dos candidatos a padrões internos. Apesar dos bons resultados encontrados em solução aquosa, o aumento do sinal de fundo em meio da amostra restringiu a escolha dos comprimentos de onda. Para o estudo da dissolução das amostras foram avaliados quatro procedimentos em forno de micro-ondas com frasco fechado. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos com 150 mg de amostra, 6 mL de água régia e 210 ºC de aquecimento durante 60 min. As determinações por ICP OES usando padrões internos Ru para Pd, Yb para Pt e Dy para Rh foram aquelas que forneceram os resultados mais coerentes com aqueles obtidos por fluorescência de Raios-X. Nos estudos visando à introdução de amostra na forma de suspensão foram avaliados: a massa de amostra para o preparo da suspensão, o efeito da concentração de ácido nítrico e o uso de padrão interno na tentativa de corrigir erros de matriz. 60 mg de amostra com um volume final de 20 mL de ácido nítrico 0,5% (v v-1) foram os escolhidos. Entretanto, a determinação dos elementos via suspensão mostrou resultados muito inferiores aos valores de concentrações esperados. Irídio foi investigado somente para otimização de ICP OES porque a sílica mesoporosa para uso de catalisador automotivo tem não esse elemento em sua composição. / The aim of this study was to evaluate parameters such as grinding, particle size, homogeneity, segregation, sample dissolution and slurry sampling for method development for the determination of Ir, Pd, Pt and Rh in silica mesoporosa for catalyst using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). After the grind in an electronic grider with mill and pistil, the analysis of the particle size distribution showed 89% of particles with sizes <100 µm and 23% of particles with sizes <5µm. The separation in different particle size fractions showed that the sample with coarse grind (as sent to the lab) is not homogenous for the elements in comparison with that submitted to grind. X-Ray Diffraction and X-Ray Fluorescence analysis did not showed chemical reactions during the grinding, however a discrepancy between results of different laboratories. The performance of ICP OES was made by using figures of merit such as selectivity, repeatability, stability, robustness and limit of detection. In the optimization of ICP OES power supply, nebulizer flow rate and auxiliary gas flow rate were considered. Studies were conducted in aqueous and in the sample solution to choose emission wavelengths for Ir, Pd, Pt, Rh and internal standard candidates. Despite the good results obtained in aqueous solution, increasing the background signal in sample media restricted the choice of the emission wavelengths. For sample dissolution four procedures using microwave oven with closed-vessel were evaluated. The best results were obtained with 150 mg of the sample, 6 mL of aqua-regia and 210 ºC of heating, during 60 min. Determinations by ICP OES using internal standards Ru for Pd, Yb for Pt, and Dy for Rh were those who provided more consistent results in comparison with those obtained by x-ray fluorescence. For slurry sampling introduction sush parameters were evaluated: the mass of sample to prepare the slurry, the effect of the nitric acid concentration and the use of internal standard to correct matrix effects. 60 mg of the sample with a final volume of 20 mL of nitric acid 0.5% (v v-1) were chosen. However, the determination of Pd, Pt and Rh via suspension showed concentrations below to those expected, as determined by ICP OES in solution. Iridium was investigated only for ICP OES optimization because the silica mesoporosa for automobile catalyst use have not this element in its composition.
