Have been investigated the mineral matter and chemical composition of ash from the Khartarvagatai coal deposite by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) methods. In the ash of this coal have revealed trace elements like Се, Th, Be, La, Nd, Y, As. These elements come from mineral gasparite that present in raw coal. All diffraction patterns were analyzed by full-profile Rietveld refinements, using the software package WinPLOTR.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5564/mjc.v12i0.168 Mongolian Journal of Chemistry Vol.12 2011: 35-37

The mode of occurrence and origin of highly-enriched trace elements, especially Ge, in Wulantuga high-Ge coal deposit have been widely reported. In this study, coal samples and several coalified trunks embedded within the roof strata are collected, which provides a good opportunity to further confirm if Ge is mainly associated with organic matter. Minerals in coal samples are mainly quartz, kaolinite, montmorillonite, pyrite, and gypsum, along with trace albite, barite, chlorite, and Fe-oxide, while those in coalified trunk samples include melanterite, pyrite, and gypsum, with traces of chlorite and magnesiocopiapite. Germanium, As, W, Sb, Hg, Be, and Cs are enriched in coal samples, and these elements are also enriched in the coalified trunks and roof glutenite. The elevated contents of Ge, As, W, Sb, and Hg were almost exclusively derived from the influx of hydrothermal fluids as evidenced by the presence of pyrite veins and chamosite as well as enhanced elemental associations of Ge-W and As-Sb-Hg in the studied lignite samples. The coalified trunks in the study area should be taken into consideration due to the high contents of hazardous elements that cause potential environmental impacts during mining waste disposal and land reclamation.

To study the influence of trace elements on the corrosion and hydrogen ingress in Zr-2.5 Nb pressure tube material, buttons of this alloy containing up to 0.83 at% Fe were made by arc-melting. The buttons were then annealed at 973 K for three days, furnace cooled, followed by ≈80% cold-rolling. The microstructure of cold-worked Zr-2.5 at% Nb-0.83 at% Fe (Fig. 1) contained both β-Zr and intermetallic precipitates in the α-Zr grains. The particles were 0.1 to 0.7 μm in size, with shapes ranging from spherical to ellipsoidal and often contained faults. β-Zr appeared either roughly spherical or as irregular elongated patches, often extending to several micrometres.The composition of the intermetallic particles seen in Fig. 1 was determined using Van Cappellen’s extrapolation technique for energy dispersive X-ray analysis of thin metal foils. The method was employed to avoid corrections for absorption and fluorescence via the Cliff-Lorimer equation: CA/CB = kAB · IA/IB, where CA and CB are the concentrations by weight of the elements A and B, and IA and IB are the X-ray intensities; kAB is a proportionality factor.

A monolithic, polycapillary, x-ray optic was adapted to a laboratory-based x-ray microprobe to evaluate the potential of the optic for x-ray micro fluorescence analysis. The polycapillary was capable of collecting x-rays over a 6 degree angle from a point source and focusing them to a spot approximately 40 µm diameter. The high intensities expected from this capillary should be useful for determining and mapping minor to trace elements in materials. Fig. 1 shows a sketch of the capillary with important dimensions.The microprobe had previously been used with straight and with tapered monocapillaries. Alignment of the monocapillaries with the focal spot was accomplished by electromagnetically scanning the focal spot over the beveled anode. With the polycapillary it was also necessary to manually adjust the distance between the focal spot and the polycapillary.The focal distance and focal spot diameter of the polycapillary were determined from a series of edge scans.

This study was undertaken to estimate the contribution of meat and meat products consumption to the daily intakes of trace elements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Se), heme iron, and selected B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin) in Italy. Meat and meat products were selected on the basis of their consumption frequency reported by the most recent nationwide dietary individual survey carried out in Italy (INN-CA study). The daily intakes of total iron and heme iron were 1.65 and 1.13 mg/person/day. Zinc intake was 3.65 mg/person/day. Beef made the main contribution to iron, heme iron, and zinc daily intakes. Copper daily intake was 107.3 mug/person/day, with meat products provided the highest contribution (40 mug/person/day). Daily intake of selenium (7.14 mug/person/day) was provided mainly by poultry consumption. Thiamine intake was 228 mug/person/day, and meat products were the main source (110 mug/person/day). Riboflavin intake was 136 mug/person/day, with both beef and meat products as the main contributors (40 mug/person/day). Niacin intake was 7.53 mg/person/day, and poultry was the main source (2.28 mg/person/day). Meat and meat products were a valuable source of micronutrients, supplying 47, 48, and 24% of zinc, niacin, and thiamin daily requirements, respectively, and over 10% of iron, copper, selenium, and riboflavin daily average requirement values of the italian RDAs calculated for the population involved in the survey (INN-CA study).

SummaryBy means of neutron activation and gamma-ray spectrometry the concentrations in the human mandibular articular disc of the following elements have been determined: Na, Mn, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Cd, W, and Au. The discs were obtained at necropsy from seven men and nine women, ranging in age from 56 to 71 years.The activation was carried out in a thermal neutron flux of about 1.7 XlO12 neutrons × cm−2 × sec.−1 for about 20 hours. A chemical group separationwas performed before the gamma-ray spectrometry. Quantitative data based on the dry weight of the cartilage samples were obtained by comparing the photo-peak area of the identified elements with those of appropriate standards.
