2. 1. Trace Element Analysis with Application to Environmental Pollutants Studies in Vietnam

   Author : Thi Hong Nguyen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; blood; environmental samples; discriminant analysis; ICP-MS; coal mining; hair; EDXRF; microwave digestion; CV-AAS; urine; sample preparation; coal combustion;

   Abstract : In the work presented here the attention has been focused on optimising sample preparation and analytical techniques for trace element determination, analytical quality assurance and environmental applications. Trace element concentrations in various environmental matrices were investigated using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectro-metry (ICP-MS) and Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (CV-AAS).

4. 2. Processing of berries – Effects on functionality, stability and bioactivity of anthocyanins

   Author : Gabriel Barbosa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; berries; powder; hot air and microwave drying; osmotic dehydration; press cake; edible coating; anthocyanins; gastrointestinal in vitro digestion; polyphenols; pulsed electric field; oxidative stress; yeast;

   Abstract : Berries are rich natural sources of anthocyanins, water-soluble pigments in plants that have been linked to beneficial effects against chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. However, anthocyanins as well as other polyphenolic compounds are often sensitive to degradation during processing, storage and digestion. READ MORE

5. 3. Characterization of suspended particulate matter from freshwater : validation of a field filtration technique

   Author : Fredrik Ödman; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

   Abstract : A field filtration method for the concentration and separation of suspended particulate matter (SPM) from freshwater systems and the subsequent determination of major, minor, trace and ultra trace elements (Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hf, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, S, Sb, Sc, Si, Sn, Sr, Ta, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn and Zr) is validated with respect to detection limits, precision, and bias. The validation comprises the whole procedure including filtration, sample digestion and instrumental analysis. READ MORE

6. 4. Multielemental analysis of geological and biological samples using laser ablation ICP-SFMS

   Author : Mikael D. Axelsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

   Abstract : The analytical performance of laser ablation (LA) for multielemental determination of geological and biological samples has been investigated. In the present study, LA has been used for sample introduction in inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS). READ MORE

7. 5. Multi-element analysis of environmental samples using LA-ICP-MS : method developments with emphasis on calibration strategies

   Author : Mikael D. Axelsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

   Abstract : Analytical applications based on the use of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-sector field mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-SFMS) have shown great potential for both quantitative and qualitative determination of elements in a variety of materials, although the weak point is finding a suitable calibration approach. The major focus of this work has, therefore, been internal standardisation and calibration. READ MORE
