A simple method has been developed for the determination of trace toxic elements like arsenic, lead and chromium in titanium dioxide pigment samples by ICP OES attached with a Concomitant Metals Analyser. Open mineral acid decomposition was used for sample dissolution employing a mixture of nitric and hydrofluoric acids. The continuous online generation of hydrides into the plasma was achieved through a concomitant metals analyser. The recovery of arsenic, lead and chromium and the matrix effects of titanium on these elements have been studied with spiking experiments. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of arsenic and other elements in titanium pigment samples. The continuous hydride generating system, Concomitant Metals Analyser (CMA) improved the sensitivity of analysis nearly five times in pigment samples. The precision of the measurements was found to be less than 10% RSD.

The determination of the surface areas of zeolites is discussed. It is shown that it is incorrect to use the multilayer isotherm method of Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller for solids where only little more than one monolayer can be adsorbed, in cavities little larger than the adsorbed molecules. The areas of such materials can, however, be determined from the beginning of the linear portion of their isotherms (point B). In addition, X-ray spectra can provide an independent method of measuring changes in the surface areas of zeolites.

1. Historical remarks. In this paper we extend some well-known extremum properties of the regular polygons to the regular polyhedra. We start by mentioning some known results in this direction.First, let us briefly consider the problem which has received the greatest attention among all the extremum problems for polyhedra. It is the determination of the polyhedron of greatest volume F of a class of polyhedra of equal surface areas F, i.e., the isepiphan problem.

Abstract. Broadband snow albedo can range from 0.3 to 0.9 depending on microphysical properties and light-absorbing particle (LAP) concentrations. Beyond the widely observed direct and visibly apparent effect of darkening snow, it is still unclear how LAPs influence snow albedo feedbacks. To investigate LAPs' indirect effect on snow albedo feedbacks, we developed and calibrated the Near-Infrared Emitting and Reflectance-Monitoring Dome (NERD) and monitored bidirectional reflectance factors (BRFs) hourly after depositing dust and black carbon (BC) particles onto experimental snow surfaces. After comparing snow infrared BRFs to snow specific surface areas (SSAs), we found that both measured and modeled snow infrared BRFs are correlated with snow SSA. These results, however, demonstrate a considerable uncertainty of ±10 m2 kg−1 in the determination of snow SSA from our BRF measurements. The nondestructive technique for snow SSA retrieval that we present here can be further developed for science applications that require rapid in situ snow SSA measurements. After adding large amounts of dust and BC to snow, we found more rapid decreasing of snow BRFs and SSAs in snow with added LAPs compared to natural (clean) snow but only during clear-sky conditions. These results suggest that deposition of LAPs onto snow can accelerate snow metamorphism via a net positive snow grain-size feedback.
