- Concentrations of Al3+ were calculated in soil solutions from concentrations of the monomeric ‘reactive Al’ species ([Al3+] + [Al(OH)2+] + [Al(OH)2+] + [AlF2+]) obtained using a recently reported flow injection analysis (FIA) chelating resin technique. Soil solution samples came from 7 sites encompassing a range of New Zealand soils (Brown, Gley, Pallic, Podzol, and Recent Soils) and vegetation types (pasture, shrub lands, and indigenous and exotic forest). Previously published data from a further 7 sites, obtained using a rapid (7 s) FIA technique, were transformed to give compatible results. The resultant data (n = 85) covered the pH range 2.7–7.6, and showed a single curvilinear relationship for log [Al3+] v. soil solution pH, regardless of vegetation or soil type. At pH >5.6, the data had a slope of –2.98 and fell between the amorphous Al(OH)3 and gibbsite solubility lines. At pH <5.0, the data had a slope of –0.46; further, the soil solutions were under-saturated with respect to both minerals. These results are interpreted as indicating control of Al solubility by Al(OH)3(s) (at pH >5.6) and soil organic matter (at pH <5.0), respectively. This interpretation is supported by data from a pH-dependent Al–fulvic acid binding curve, for which calculated values of [Al3+] follow the same curvilinear relationship determined from the soil solution samples.

- In LaserMaterial Processing, an understanding of the fundamental absorption mechanisms plays a vital role in determining the optimum processing parameters and conditions. The absorptance, which characterizes how much a material absorbs, can alter during a processing application, as a result of melting, boiling, structural changes of the surface, oxidation, plasma formation, etc. To gain knowledge of these complex processes, a combination of experimental as well as of theoretical work is required. In this paper, an overview of the most common experimental methods and techniques to measure laser absorption in opaque solids, such as metals, will be presented.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Nd:YLF/Nd:YAG laser absorptance of rough metal surfaces has been investigated using 3D ray tracing simulations on computer-generated Gaussian random rough metal surfaces. The impact of multiple scattering, shadowing and Fresnel-equation based angle dependence on the overall absorption is discussed.

Flow injection determination of Al3+ and Al13O4(OH)(24)(H2O)(12)(7+) species using a 1.3-s reaction with 8-quinolinol-derivatised Fractogel

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Speciation of Al is determined by a 1.3-s reaction with 8-quinolinol (oxine)-derivatised Fractogel in a 22 μl column reactor in a flow injection (FI) manifold. Al (pre)concentrated on the column from a 650 μl sample is selectively eluted with 250 μl of 0.02 M NaOH and detected spectrophotometrically as the Al-chrome azurol S (CAS) complex at pH 5.0. This Al (referred to as ‘free Al’) comprises Al3+ + A1(OH)2+ + Al in very labile complexes. Tests with synthetic solutions established that Al is not significantly sequestered from the citrate, oxalate and malonate complexes. Al-hydroxo polymers [Al13(OH)327+] are quantitatively retained by the column but are not desorbed by 0.02 M NaOH in the time frame of the FI method; therefore they do not contribute to the analytical signal. However, they can be quantified after stopped-flow elution with 0.2 M NaOH. The AlF2+ and AlF2+ complexes are retained and eluted quantitatively and therefore contribute to the measurement of ‘free Al’. The method has been applied to humic waters and soil solutions and the results for ‘free’ Al3+ compared with those obtained by the 7-s CAS method. The method has a 2σ detection limit of 70 nM, a linear working range of 0.3–16 μM and relative standard deviations of 7% and 1% at 0.5 and 16 μM, respectively.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Kinetic and thermodynamic factors associated with the use of pyrocatechol violet (PCV) for the determination of total reactive Al or `free' Al[Al3++Al(OH)2++Al(OH)+2] have been investigated. The rate of reaction of Al with PCV (in MES buffer, pH 6.2) was strongly influenced by the presence of competing ligands. The rate of formation of Al(PCV)2 on the addition of Al3+ to a PCV–competing ligand mixture was: oxalate≈F−≈malonate>salicylate>>no competing ligand>citrate. A similar increase in the reaction rate relative to standards (i.e. no competing ligand) was observed for Al pre-equilibrated in humic waters and soil solution (at concentrations above or below the Al-complexation capacity). The discrepancy in reaction rates may be ascribed to the inhibition through pH-induced hydrolysis of Al3+ in the absence of ligands (i.e. in standards) or to acceleration in the presence of naturally occurring ligands. It has serious implications for the use of kinetic-based FIA protocols for the determination of Al fractions or total Al in natural waters. Specifically, the (usually) slower reaction for Al3+standards implies that measurements on systems containing organic ligands may overestimate the concentration of `free' or total Al. Quantitative studies on the thermodynamics of the citrate–Al3+–PCV system established that the attainment of equilibrium in the pH range 5.0 to 6.6 required ≈300 min. Thus, determination of total Al by FIA in systems containing this or closely related ligands is not feasible.
