New analytical instruments at Pittcon '95

Article Abstract:

New equipment for environmental analysis were unveiled at Pittcon on Mar. 1995 in New Orleans. The exhibit featured analytical equipment showing technological advances in mass spectrometry and gas chromatography which can run more tests in less time, enhance accuracy, employ less technicians and require less skills in users. The new equipment also offer speed, higher resolution and greater sensitivity with less costs. Other products featured in the exhibition are included.

A solid approach to extractions

Article Abstract:

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is becoming as accepted as liquid-liquid extraction in gathering environmental analytes. SPE is easier to perform, more sensitive and versatile and requires less solvent than liquid-liquid extraction. SPE can also be automated. The Free University is using an automated system to analyze samples of water. Participants at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society described various applications for SPE.

Growing your own diesel fuel

Article Abstract:

Fuel made from vegetable oil or biodiesel fuel has been developed as an effective alternative to conventional diesel fuel. Utilization of this replacement can significantly decrease black smoke belching and sulfur emissions. Aromatics, carcinogens and explosive air-fuel vapors are also avoided. However, certain limitations in its cost of production and energy value must be comprehensively addressed for the enhancement of its viability.
