A Method For The Determination Of Trace Metals In Carbon By Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Leo Francis Meyer Aug 1966

A Method For The Determination Of Trace Metals In Carbon By Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Leo Francis Meyer

Master's Theses

The object of this research was to develop an accurate, rapid and economical method for determining trace amounts of metals in carbons, especially in activated carbons designed as gas adsorbents. More specifically, the investigation was directed primarily to the determination of K, Ca, and Fe in Carbons

A Method For The Determination Of Solanesol In Tobacco, Ludwig Weissbecker Jan 1966

A Method For The Determination Of Solanesol In Tobacco, Ludwig Weissbecker

Master's Theses

The object or this work was to develop a procedure for the quantitative determination of solanesol in the petroleum ether extract of tobacco. The amount of tobacco extracted into petroleum ether is routinely used to differentiate tobacco types. The extraction procedures have been extensively studied by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) and reported in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Technical Bulletin # 1186.

There is at present no method for the quantitative determination of solanesol. One procedure which comes closest, involves an infrared measurement of the tobacco extract. Because of the presence of other bands, the …
