"Real-time Thermal Lens Absorption Measurements With Application To Flow Injection Systems"

Abstract: The thermal-lens apparatus described previously (cf. Dovichi and Harris, Anal. Abstr., 1981, 41, 2J111) was used in conjunction with a microcomputer for real-time data processing. A 1-cm fused-silica flow-cell (1 mm deep) was used in which the carrier stream flowed vertically upwards, thereby minimizing problems due to convection. In the determination of Fe with 1,10-phenanthroline in aqueous methanol (1:1), the limit of detection was 37 pg in a 100 µL sample, while in the determination of azulene and C. I. Solvent Green 3 in CCl4 solution, respective absorbance detection limits of 8.5 x 10^-7 and 14 x 10^-7 were possible. The use of the flow injection procedure was found to minimize problems of photochemical instability frequently encountered in static thermal-lens measurements.

"Thermal Lens Absorption Measurements By Flow Injection Into Supercritical Fluid Solvents"

Abstract: The flow system consists of a reservoir of the supercritical fluid (CO2 near its critical point) that is used to fill a high-pressure syringe pump. The fluid is filtered and passed through a reversed-phase ODS chromatographic column (to remove the solvent for the analyte) to a flow cell and back-pressure regulator. The sample (a solution of azulene in hexane) is injected, via a valve, into the flowing supercritical fluid. Detection is by means of a thermal-lens absorption instrument, based on the Kr-ion laser previously described (cf. Anal. Abstr., 1985, 47, 4J100). Use of this technique enhances the sensitivity for azulene (relative to CCl4). Background absorption is low and permits low detection limits.

Abstract: The sample (3 ml) was injected into a carrier stream of water, which flowed (2 ml/min) round the outside of a porous ceramic tube (6.5 cm x 1 mm i.d., 2.1 mm o.d.) that was impregnated with methyl hydrogen polysiloxane to form a membrane. Ethanol from the sample diffused through the membrane into a stream of water that flowed through the tube in the opposite direction to the carrier stream, and the resulting defocusing of a laser beam transmitted through the tube was measured. Although the measured drop in optical power was roughly linearly correlated with the sample ethanol concentration [up to 30% (v/v)], the reproducibility was unsatisfactory. The application of tubular liquid membrane to an ethanol sensing device was tried using FIA. The membrane was formed by impregnating methyl hydrogene polysiloxan (MHPS) in the porous wall of a ceramic tube. When the tube containing water was immersed in an aqueous ethanol solution, the ethanol dissolved in MHPS and diffused into the water, forming a radial gradient of ethanol concentration. A laser beam transmitted through the tube was expanded by concave-lens effect. The drop in power density of the transmitted beam was roughly correlated with the ethanol concentration. However, reproducibility of data was unsatisfactory, possibly due to disturbance of the boundary between the ethanol solution and carrier water.
