[source] Characteristics of Voltammetric Determination and Speciation of Chromium , A ReviewELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 13 2009Andrzej Bobrowski Abstract This article reviews the voltammetric methods of chromium determination, including adsorptive and catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetry at liquid mercury, metallic films, and modified carbon paste electrodes. The principle applications of the catalytic adsorptive stripping voltammetric method of chromium(VI) determination in the presence of DTPA and nitrate, most useful in the analysis of chromium traces and its speciation, is presented in detail. Special emphasis is put on the presentation and characterization of the voltammetric procedures which make it possible to conduction speciation studies of chromium(VI) in the presence of a great excess of chromium(III) and surfactants. This survey is based on 173 articles. [source] Evolutionary biogeography and speciation: essay on a synthesisJOURNAL OF BIOGEOGRAPHY, Issue 1 2001Marc Salomon Aim Different continental and insular speciation processes are reviewed. The areal and clinal conceptions of speciation studies are discussed. I propose a revisited cline theory reconciling cline mechanics and allopatric speciation as cline analysis allows quantification in speciation description more easily and integrates polymorphism within speciation processes. In addition, insular speciation illustrates what could have been the first allopatric stages of many current continental speciations. Intrinsic correspondence is shown between areal and clinal conceptions, and between continental and insular speciation processes; this article is thus an essay towards a unified theory of speciation biogeography. [source] Speciation of essential and toxic elements in edible mushrooms: size-exclusion chromatography separation with on-line UV,inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry detectionAPPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2004Rodolfo G. Wuilloud Abstract Size-exclusion liquid chromatography was coupled to UV and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for detection to perform elemental speciation studies on different edible mushrooms. Molecular weight (MW) distribution patterns of several elements among different fractions present in various edible mushrooms are presented. The association of the elements with the high and low MW fractions was observed using sequential detection by UV and ICP-MS. Separation was performed using a Superdex 75 column. Variability of the fractionation patterns with three different extraction media (0.05 mol l,1 NaOH; 0.05 mol l,1 HCl; hot water at 60°C) was evaluated for mushroom species. A comparative elemental speciation study was performed in order to determine the differences in the fractionation patterns of silver, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, and tin in Boletus edulis, Agaricus bisporus, and Lentinus edodes. Differences in the fractionation patterns of the elements were found to depend on the mushroom species and the extraction medium. Most of the elements were associated with high mw fractions. It was not possible to assess the trace metal contributions from the mushroom growth media. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] | ||||||||||
