摘要:
Composite articles are useful for separating mercury from fluids. The composite articles can be porous supports comprising an inert substrate having immobilized thereon finely divided gold optionally in combination with a tin salt coating. The porous support can be a particulate or porous fibrous webs. Alternatively, the composite articles can comprise a porous fibrous membrane having enmeshed therein the aforementioned porous supports which can be in particulate or fibrous forms. The method for separating elemental, ionic, or organic mercury in fluids comprises the step of contacting and passing a fluid containing mercury through a support comprising a porous, high surface area, inert substrate on which is immobilized finely divided elemental gold at a controlled rate for a time sufficient for the mercury to sorb to the elemental gold and to provide an immobilized gold-mercury amalgam on the support. If a tin salt also is immobilized on the inert substrate, mercury-tin salt can also be formed. In a further, and optional, step, elemental mercury can be removed from the support and optionally can be quantified.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for analyzing a sample of an inorganic or organic material, wherein the sample is in a discharge tube within a plasma cavity interfaced to an analytical device and a high frequency-sustained radiation-induced excitation plasma is initiated and sustained in the plasma cavity, which plasma is capable of causing the sample to pyrolyze and emit radiation, which emitted radiation or resulting atomic and molecular constituents may be analyzed,the improvement comprising:means for fixing or immobilizing the sample at a position spaced apart from the plasma, andmeans for elongating the plasma so as to cause it to encompass the sample.
