Fertilizer Analysis Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry

Wastewater disposal sludge, composed of a wide variety of substances, is effectively recycled as fertilizer. However, such recycling requires prior quality confirmation testing of the main constituents as well as the harmful constituents to ensure the safety of the resultant sludge fertilizer. In the case of fertilizer classified as "ordinary fertilizer," the Japan's Fertilizer Control Law ...

Arsenic and antimony speciation analysis in the environment using hyphenated techniques to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: a review

Elemental speciation involves the separation and quantification of different oxidation states or chemical forms of a particular trace element. Trace metals exhibit widely different toxicities depending on their elemental species in the environment. On the other hand, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is considered to be the method of choice for elemental analysis for several ...

Correlation of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy for elemental determination in composted products

The elemental composition of compost products was determined via inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP) and x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Correlations between the two methodologies were evaluated on individual elemental basis to determine if XRF provides results comparable to ICP. Results showed that XRF provides good correlation to ICP on certain EPA-regulated ...

Review of coal as a promising source of lithium

Coals are a major source of pollution in certain parts of the world due to mining, coal combustion, and disposal of fly ash. The recovery of valuable rare metals from coals or coal–processing byproducts is a promising way to utilise these traditional resources economically, efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way. Lithium, a highly interesting metal, has been found dispersed and even ...

Researchers discover high uranium levels in south India groundwater

The uranium isotopes during their course of their disintegration decay into other radioactive elements and eventually decay into stable lead isotopes. The cause of environmental concern is the emanation of beta and gamma radiation during disintegration. The present study tends to estimate uranium in groundwater trapped in granite and gneiss rocks. Besides, the study aims at estimating the ...

Analysis of Highly Mineralized Aqueous Solutions by ICP-AES

Environmental Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) methods, such as EPA 200.7 or SW846 Method 6010, expect that samples will be fairly dilute without an overabundance of dissolved constituents (less than 2000 ppm Total Dissolved Solids). Laboratories running mine-impacted waters, such as acid rock drainage from exposed copper tailings, or mineral digests of a “waste” sample (that is ...
