This study analyzed the microstructures and chemical composition of three samples of bronze mirrors excavated in the Jeollanam-do region, particularly Goheung and Damyang. Under x-ray irradiation, the analysis results confirmed the broken parts and pores caused by cracks, casting, and corrosion. Major and minor elemental analysis were performed on three mirrors by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with Energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) and Inductively coupled plasma mass spe ctrome try (ICP-MS). The re sult shows that the bronze mirrors containe d Cu-Sn-Pb alloys. Alpha phase and eutectic phase were observed in the microstructure, confirming that the casting was performed without additional heat treatment. Notably, Three bronze mirrors were made early Three Kingdoms period in Korea.

The colloform pyrite variety incorporates many trace elements that are released in the environment during rapid oxidation. Colloform pyrite from the Chiprovtsi silver–lead deposit in Bulgaria and its oxidation efflorescent products were studied using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Pyrite is enriched with (in ppm): Co (0.1–964), Ni (1.8–3858), Cu (2.9–3188), Zn (3.1–77), Ag (1.2–1771), As (8179–52,787), Se (2.7–21.7), Sb (48–17792), Hg (4–2854), Tl (1.7–2336), Pb (13–7072), and Au (0.07–2.77). Gypsum, anhydrite, szomolnokite, halotrichite, römerite, copiapite, aluminocopiapite, magnesiocopiapite, coquimbite, aluminocoquimbite, voltaite, and ammoniomagnesiovoltaite were identified in the efflorescent sulfate assemblage. Sulfate minerals contain not only inherited elements from pyrite (Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag, In, As, Sb, Hg, Tl, and Pb), but also newly introduced elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Mn, Ga, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Sn, Cs, Ba, REE, U, and Th). Voltaite group minerals, copiapite, magnesiocopiapite, and römerite incorporate most of the trace elements, especially the most hazardous As, Sb, Hg, and Tl. Colloform pyrite occurrence in the Chiprovtsi deposit is limited. Its association with marbles would further restrict the oxidation and release of hazardous elements into the environment.

Las técnicas para analizar los elementos esenciales o tóxicos para las plantas y los seres humanos, ha experimentado un acelerado desarrollo en los últimos tiempos, tanto en las convencionales o clásicas, que requieren la solubilización de la muestra, como en otras emergentes que no la requieren. Las técnicas convencionales avanzadas y las no destructivas se usan poco por los investigadores en genética, agronomía, nutrición, fisiología, biología, para evaluar la composición y calidad nutrimental de alimentos, cuantificar elementos metálicos esenciales y tóxicos, diagnosticar el estado nutrimental de los cultivos y estudiar alimentos funcionales. Estas técnicas analíticas se pueden aplicar, además, a suelos, abonos y fertilizantes. El objetivo de este ensayo es difundir las posibilidades de aplicación y los principios básicos de estas técnicas analíticas emergentes. La espectrometría de emisión por atomización con plasma inductivamente acoplado (ICP, Inductively coupled plasma) y la de ICP masas (ICP-MS, Mass spectrometry with inductive coupling plasma) tienen mayor interés que las técnicas clásicas usadas en los laboratorios de los países de escaso desarrollo, como las espectrometrías de emisión (AES, Atomic emission spectrometry) y absorción atómica (AAS, Atomic absorption spectrometry), que requieren solubilización de la matriz. La ICP-MS y la ICP tienen ventajas para el análisis simultáneo de contenidos totales de la mayoría de los elementos esenciales para el crecimiento de los vegetales. Entre las técnicas no destructivas de la matriz, la mayoría de las consideradas en este ensayo se basan en la interacción de los rayos X con la materia, como fotoemisión de rayos X (XPS, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry), emisión de rayos X inducida por partículas (PIXE, Particle induced X-ray emission), fluorescencia de rayos X (XRF, X-ray fluorescence) y espectrometría de dispersión de energía de rayos X (EDS, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), similares en sus fundamentos. Estas técnicas, a diferencias de las anteriores, no requieren solubilizar la muestra o su preparación es mínima. Otras ventajas son su rapidez, la realización de análisis multielemental simultáneo, tamaño pequeño de muestra, adquisición de la distribución de elementos químicos en la muestra y generar mapas en dos dimensiones. Las cuatro técnicas descritas más arriba analizan contenidos totales. PIXE y XRF presentan mayor sensibilidad que las otras dos para cuantificar elementos traza en concentraciones de partes por millón, y estas dos más EDS se pueden acoplar a microscopios ad hoc para obtener la distribución de elementos químicos y hacer mapeos. La técnica XPS permite analizar fracciones iónicas en estudios de estados de oxidación de los elementos, pero las concentraciones en las muestras deben ser superiores a 0.1% en peso. Las aplicaciones de las técnicas no destructivas generan información complementaria a las clásicas y aportan conocimiento básico. Otras ventajas es que la preparación de las muestras requiere menos tiempo, excepto cuando se requieren mapeos. Su capacidad para ejecutar multianálisis permite reducir costos. En México y otros países hay grupos de investigación especializados en estas técnicas, pero es necesario desarrollar e implementar aplicaciones para realizar análisis de matrices biológicas como vegetales (semillas, hojas, etc.), alimentos, abonos y matriz orgánica de los suelos. Un conocimiento más profundo de estas técnicas permitirá la interacción de grupos de investigación y generar información para estudios de ciencia básica en agronomía y alimentos.

In this paper, the geochemical characteristics of the trace elements of the No. 6 coal seam from Tanggongta mine, Jungar Coalfield, were studied using the methods of an energydispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDX) analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometric (XRF) techniques. The content of sulfur ranges from 0.09% to 2.83% (1.09% on average). The ash is from 11.70% to 31.47% (20.72% on average), and the moisture is from 2.72% to 6.82% (4.72% on average). The main minerals are kaolinite, carbonate minerals and pyrite. Compared with the average values of Chinese coal, the contents of Ga, Cd, Tl, Li, Sr, and Ag are high. Compared with the values of world coal, Li and Sr are found at high levels. The distribution mode of the REE shows that LREE is concentrated, but HREE is relatively low. The Yinshan Oldland should be the most likely source of the coal’s Li. The bauxite of the Benxi formation could be another source of the coal’s Li in the NE Jungar Coalfield.

Glycerol acetalization with citral was studied using a heteropolyacid (tungstophosphoric acid) supported on KIT-6, as a catalyst, at 100 °C. Different catalysts were synthesized. Catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total refletion-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and potentiometric titrations. At a fixed time, the glycerol conversion increased with the H3PW12O40 (PW) on KIT-6. PW4-KIT-6 material had a higher conversion than other catalysts. The optimization of glycerol’s acetalization with citral was studied under the PW4-KIT-6 catalyst. After 5 h, it was found that, at T = 100 °C, with m = 0.3 g of solid, molar glycerol:citral = 1:2.25, the conversion of glycerol was 89%. Moreover, the PW4-KTI-6 catalyst showed good catalytic stability.

Coal seams 41 and 42 of the Heshan Coalfield belong to superhigh-organic-sulfur coals. In order to study the geochemical characteristics of the coals, 15 coal samples and 6 rock samples were collected from both coal seams and the roof/floor rocks. The samples were investigated by using conventional microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results show that minerals in the coals are dominated by kaolinite and a mixed layer illite/smectite and illite; small ratios of pyrite, quartz, chlorite, smectite, calcite, and dolomite are also present. Under the microscope, these pyrites occur as framboidal, euhedral, homogeneous, anhedral, nodular, and fine dissemination shapes. In Shicun Mine, the trace elements Li, Y, Zr, Sn, Sm, and Tb are enriched; Zn and Ba are depleted. However, in the Heliluoshan Mine, Mo is significantly enriched; Li, Zr, Cs, and U are enriched; and Co and Ba are depleted. The occurrence of Li and Ga is associated mainly with organic matter and sulfate minerals. U and Mo occur in silicate minerals, carbonate minerals, illite, I/S, and pyrite. A reducing environment is beneficial for the enrichment of V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Mo, Cd, and U. The abundances of sulfur in Heshan were controlled mainly by the degree of seawater influence and hydrothermal activities.

Cultured Pearls

The present study applied Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) on a large number of natural and cultured pearls from saltwater and freshwater environments, which revealed that freshwater (natural and cultured) pearls contain relatively higher quantities of manganese (Mn) and barium (Ba) and lower sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg) and strontium (Sr) than saltwater (natural and cultured) pearls. A few correlations between the host animal’s species and chemical elements were found; some samples from Pinctada maxima (P. maxima) are the only studied saltwater samples with 55Mn >20 ppmw, while some P. radiata are the only studied saltwater samples with 24Mg <65 ppmw and some of the P. imbricata are the only studied saltwater samples with 137Ba >4.5 ppmw. X-ray luminescence reactions of the studied samples has confirmed a correlation between its yellow-green intensity and manganese content in aragonite, where the higher Mn2+ content, the more intense the yellow-green luminescence becomes. Luminescence intensity in some cases is lower even if manganese increases, either because of pigments or because of manganese self-quenching. X-ray luminescence can be applied in most cases to separate saltwater from freshwater samples; only samples with low manganese content (55Mn <50 ppmw) might be challenging to identify. One of the studied natural freshwater pearls contained vaterite sections which react by turning orange under X-ray due to a different coordination of Mn2+ in vaterite than that in aragonite.

Inductive Behavior

The main objective of this study is to characterize the in vitro osteo inductive behavior of pearl nano crystallites. The results obtained from X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and inductively coupled plasma mass (ICP-MS) analysis demonstrate that the pearls can induce the formation of a hydroxyl apatite (HA) layer on their surface in simulated body fluid (SBF), even after only short soaking periods. Further, MC3T3-E1 cells can easily attach and spread on the pearl powders after 1 h of cultivation.
