Survey on batch-to-batch variation in spray paints: a collaborative study

This study represents the most extensive analysis of batch-to-batch variations in spray paint samples to date. The survey was performed as a collaborative project of the ENFSI (European Network of Forensic Science Institutes) Paint and Glass Working Group (EPG) and involved 11 laboratories. Several studies have already shown that paint samples of similar color but from different manufacturers can usually be differentiated using an appropriate analytical sequence. The discrimination of paints from the same manufacturer and color (batch-to-batch variations) is of great interest and these data are seldom found in the literature. This survey concerns the analysis of batches from different color groups (white, papaya (special shade of orange), red and black) with a wide range of analytical techniques and leads to the following conclusions. Colored batch samples are more likely to be differentiated since their pigment composition is more complex (pigment mixtures, added pigments) and therefore subject to variations. These variations may occur during the paint production but may also occur when checking the paint shade in quality control processes. For these samples, techniques aimed at color/pigment(s) characterization (optical microscopy, microspectrophotometry (MSP), Raman spectroscopy) provide better discrimination than techniques aimed at the organic (binder) or inorganic composition (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) or elemental analysis (SEM - scanning electron microscopy and XRF - X-ray fluorescence)). White samples contain mainly titanium dioxide as a pigment and the main differentiation is based on the binder composition (Csingle bondH stretches) detected either by FTIR or Raman. The inorganic composition (elemental analysis) also provides some discrimination. Black samples contain mainly carbon black as a pigment and are problematic with most of the spectroscopic techniques. In this case, pyrolysis-GC/MS represents the best technique to detect differences. Globally, Py-GC/MS may show a high potential of discrimination on all samples but the results are highly dependent on the specific instrumental conditions used. Finally, the discrimination of samples when data was interpreted visually as compared to statistically using principal component analysis (PCA) yielded very similar results. PCA increases sensitivity and could perform better on specific samples, but one first has to ensure that all non-informative variation (baseline deviation) is eliminated by applying correct pre-treatments. Statistical treatments can be used on a large data set and, when combined with an expert's opinion, will provide more objective criteria for decision making.

Late Proterozoic thrust tectonics, high-pressure metamorphism and Uranium mineralization in the domes area, Lufilian arc, northwestern Zambia

The following main lithostratigraphic units have been distinguished in the Domes Area. The Kibaran basement complex composed of gneisses, migmatites with amphibolite bands and metagranites is exposed in dome structures; metamorphic features of Kibaran age have been almost completely obliterated by extensive Lufilian reactivation. The post-Kibaran cover sequence is subdivided into the Lower Roan Group consisting of well-preserved quartzites with high Mg content, talc-bearing, extremely foliated schists intercalated with pseudo-conglomerates of tectonic origin and the Upper Roan Group including dolomitic marbles with rare stromatolites, metapelites and a sequence of detrital metasediments, with local volcano-sedimentary components and interlayered banded ironstones. The sediments of the Lower Roan Group are interpreted as continental to lagoonal-evaporitic deposits partly converted into the talc-kyanite + garnet assemblage characteristic of ``white schists''. The dolomites and metapelites of the Upper Roan Group are attributed to a carbonate platform sequence progressively subsiding under terrigenous deposits, whilst the detrital metasediments and BIF may be interpreted as a basinal sequence, probably deposited on oceanic crust grading laterally into marbles. Metagabbros and metabasalts are considered as remnants of an ocean-floor-type crustal unit probably related to small basins. Alkaline stocks of Silurian age intruded the post-Kibaran cover. Significant ancestral tectonic discontinuities promoted the development of a nappe pile that underwent high-pressure metamorphism during the Lufilian orogeny and all lithostratigraphic units. Rb-Sr and K-Ar and U-Pb data indicate an age of 700 Ma for the highest grade metamorphism and 500 Ma for blocking of the K-Ar and Rb-Sr system in micas, corresponding to the time when the temperature dropped below 350-degrees-400-degrees-C and to an age of about 400 Ma for the emplacement of hypabyssal syenitic bodies. A first phase of crustal shortening by decoupling of basement and cover slices along shallow shear zones has been recognized. Fluid-rich tectonic slabs of cover sediments were thus able to transport fluids into the anhydrous metamorphic basement or mafic units. During the subsequent metamorphic re-equilibration stage of high pressure, pre-existing thrusts horizons were converted into recrystallized mylonites. Due to uplift, rocks were re-equilibrated into assemblages compatible with lower pressures and slightly lower temperatures. This stage occurs under a decompressional (nearly adiabatic) regime, with P(fluid) almost-equal-to P(lithostatic). It is accompanied by metasomatic development of minerals, activated by injection of hot fluids. New or reactivated shear zones and mylonitic belts were the preferred conduits of fluids. The most evident regional-scale effect of these processes is the intense metasomatic scapolitization of formerly plagioclase-rich lithologies. Uraninite mineralization can probably be assigned to the beginning of the decompressional stage. A third regional deformation phase characterized by open folds and local foliation is not accompanied by significant growth of new minerals. However, pitchblende mineralization can be ascribed to this phase as late-stage, short-range remobilization of previously existing deposits. Finally, shallow alkaline massifs were emplaced when the level of the Domes Area now exposed was already subjected to exchange with meteoric circuits, activated by residual geothermal gradients generally related to intrusions or rifting. Most of the superficial U-showings with U-oxidation products were probably generated during this relatively recent phase.
