How Are ICP Methods Being Used in the Petroleum and Biofuels Industry?
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques, such as ICP coupled with mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ICP–optical emission spectroscopy (OES), have seen a lot of growth in recent years for the direct analysis of organic samples such as petroleum and biofuels. José-Luis Todolí, a professor at the University of Alicante in Spain, has conducted several studies in this area, including the elemental determination of metals in bioethanol using ICP-OES, and the use of a torch integrated sample introduction system as well as ICP-MS to analyze petroleum products and biofuels. He recently spoke to us about this work and other projects involving ICP techniques that his group is focused on. |

IR Spectral Interpretation Workshop: Quiz 4
How well can you analyze spectra? Test your skills with our short quiz. Do your best to assign all the peaks shown in the figure and table to determine the functional groups present. Then, put the functional groups together to come up with a proposed chemical structure. The answer will appear in the March 2016 issue of Spectroscopy. |
