Synthesis, characterization, structural refinement and optical absorption behavior of PbWO(4) powders

The present paper describes the synthesis, characterization, structural refinement and optical absorption behavior of lead tungstate (PbWO(4)) powders obtained by the complex polymerization method heat treated at different temperatures for 2h in air atmosphere. PbWO(4) powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopy and ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy measurements. XRD, Rietveld refinement and FT-Raman revealed that PbWO(4) powders are free of secondary phases and crystallizes in a tetragonal structure. The UV-vis absorption spectroscopy measurements suggest the presence of intermediary energy levels into the band gap of structurally disordered powders. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Mathematical equation correction to spectral and transport interferences in high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry: determination of lead in phosphoric acid

Um método de correção de interferência espectral e de transporte é proposto, e foi aplicado para minimizar interferências por moléculas de PO produzidas em chama ar-acetileno e de transporte causada pela variação da concentração de ácido fosfórico. Átomos de Pb e moléculas de PO absorvem a 217,0005 nm, então Atotal217,0005 nm = A Pb217,0005 nm + A PO217,0005 nm. Monitorando o comprimento de onda alternativo de PO em 217,0458 nm, é possível calcular a contribuição relativa de PO na absorbância total a 217,0005 nm: A Pb217,0005 nm = Atotal217,0005 nm - A PO217,0005 nm = Atotal217,0005 nm - k (A PO217,0458 nm). O fator de correção k é a razão entre os coeficientes angulares de duas curvas analíticas para P obtidas a 217,0005 e 217,0458 nm (k = b217,0005 nm/b217,0458 nm). Fixando-se a taxa de aspiração da amostra em 5,0 ml min-1, e integrando-se a absorbância no comprimento de onda a 3 pixels, curvas analíticas para Pb (0,1 - 1,0 mg L-1) foram obtidas com coeficientes de correlação típicos > 0,9990. As correlações lineares entre absorbância e concentração de P nos comprimentos de onda 217,0005 e 217,0458 foram > 0,998. O limite de detecção de Pb foi 10 µg L-1. O método de correção proposto forneceu desvios padrão relativos (n=12) de 2,0 a 6,0%, ligeiramente menores que os obtidos sem correção (1,4-4,3%). As recuperações de Pb adicionado às amostras de ácido fosfórico variaram de 97,5 a 100% (com correção pelo método proposto) e de 105 a 230% (sem correção).
