“…Most of the reports on environmental matrices involve various aquatic samples. New procedures for the determination of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions from single rain, cloud, or fog drops and ice crystals [130,131], aerosols and depositions [132], drinking water [133], mineral and tap water [127,128,134], river water [66], groundwater [135], underground water [136], and seawater [137], Ca, Mg, Zn, and Al from tap and surface water [110], for iron(II) quantification in rain and tap water [117] and natural waters [81], and for measuring the content of Pb(II) in seawater [124] were reported. Usually these samples do not require any pretreatment other than filtration and occasionally dilution.…”

Advances in the fundamental studies and methodology of capillary electrophoresis (CE) as applied to metal ion analysis over the last two years are reviewed, with the objective of providing the interested reader with a state-of-the-art picture of technique's potentialities in the area. In particular, novel strategies for separation selectivity control and CE system innovations designed to enhance the detection sensitivity are described. In addition, a brief overview of the primary metal analytes and samples for which the technique appears to be best suited is given. The current limitations of the technique regarding most of all the implementation for routine use are considered along with the approaches on how they could be addressed. Finally, some pointers as to the likely trends in the future research are discussed.

“…Fortunately, in recent years, capillary zone electrophoresis (Tenberken and Bächmann, 1998) and replication techniques have been developed to allow for the chemical analysis of a single fog or cloud droplet. However, the capillary zone electrophoresis technique of Tenberken and Bächmann was studied using only ionic species, while Ma et al's replication technique provided the elemental distribution of a flattened replica droplet.…”

Quantifying the solute composition of a cloud droplet (or a whole droplet) is an important task for understanding formation processes and heating/cooling rates. In this study, a combination of droplet fixation and SR-XRF microprobe analysis was used to visualize and quantify elements in a micro-scale droplet. In this study, we report the preliminary outcome of this experiment. A spherical micro-scale droplet was successfully solidified through exposure to α-cyanoacrylate vapor without affecting its size or shape. An X-ray microprobe system equipped at the beam line 37XU of Super Photon ring 8 GeV (SPring-8) was applied to visualize and quantify the elemental composition in an individual micro-scale droplet. It was possible to reconstruct 2D elemental maps for the K and Cl contained in a microdroplet that was dispensed from the 10-ppm KCl standard solution. Multi-elemental peaks corresponding to X-ray energy were also successfully resolved. Further experiments to determine quantitative measures of elemental mass in individual droplets and high-resolution Xray microtomography (i.e., 3D elemental distribution) are planned for the future.

“…Electrostatic precipitation of particles has been routinely used in applications, such as the collection of airborne microorganisms [1], sampling of cloud and fog droplets [2] and the determination of lead in atmospheric aerosols [3]. Electrostatic precipitators operate on the principle of the attraction of charged particles to an oppositely charged collector.…”

“…As the wave is surface localised, any mass deposited on the propagation path changes the speed of propagation. Surface acoustic wave devices are highly surface mass sensitive but are not intrinsically selective however they do have the potential to provide real-time measurement; the use of a SAW device for aerosol 2 monitoring was demonstrated in 1991 by Bowers et. al.…”

In this article we demonstrate the feasibility of combining the two proven technologies of electrostatic precipitators (EP) and surface acoustic wave devices (SAW) for real time applications in particulate monitoring. A plastic cyclone (Higgins-Dewell), used for personal respirable dust sampling, has been modified to include an ionizing source and a Rayleigh SAW device with biased collection plate in place of the usual filter. The flow rate of the air through the cyclone allows size selectivity of particulate matter and we present data showing the effect of the collection plate bias of the collection efficiency.1
