Detection and Localization of Eu on Biosilica by Analytical Scanning Electron Microscopy

Abstract: Algae like diatoms are widely studied as a means to remediate anthropogenically contaminated sites. In the present study, CL (cathodoluminescence) and EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray) spectroscopy in an SEM (scanning electron microscope) were optimized for the detection of Eu(III) sorbed on diatom biosilica. The required stability of biosilica under a focused electron beam was extensively investigated. Using experimentally determined data of thermal properties, the temperature increase within biosilica exposed to… Show more

“…In contrast, fresh diatom biosilica from axenic cultures is a much better defined material. Envisioned applications are for example filtration [12], sorption [13,14], catalysis [15], and optics [16][17][18].…”
