Conditions for uniquely separating the true spectra of individual components from the overlapped Raman spectra were examined by factor analysis. Whether the unique separation is possible or not depends upon the information contained in the data-set of the sample spectra. Unique solutions were obtained for two component Raman spectra under the following conditions. Case 1), two components each have a pure wavenumber and their pure samples exist; case 2), two components each have pure wavenumber; case 3), two pure samples exist; and case 4), one component has a pure wavenumber and its pure sample exists. Here, the pure wavenumber means the wavenumber at which only one component has a definite Raman intensity and the other components have zero intensities.

A new micro-injection system for flame atomic absorption spectrometry has been devised. In this system, a small amount of sample, 20 to 100μl, is injected in the stream of a carrier solution through a sample inlet and thenfed into a nebulizer. Use of the carrier solution is found to be effective to minimize a sample volume and to reduce physical and chemical interferences. The carrier solution of water reduces the physical interference caused by the increased viscosity of sample solution which contained 5% albumin, and the carrier solution of 2000 ppm lanthanum suppresses the chemical interference caused by aluminum and phosphoric acid in the determination of magnesium and calcium. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of magnesium, calcium, copper and zinc in serum. The analytical results agreed well with those obtained by conventional flame atomic absorption, the relative standard deviation (RSD) being less than 5.1%

Fractions of polystyrene latex sample with very narrow particle size distribution obtained with the aid of micropreparative sedimentation field-flow fractionation (SFFF) were characterized by quasi-elastic light scattering. The measured values of the average particle size of individual fractions confirmed high resolving power of SFFF even for extremely difficult separations of samples with narrow polydispersity.

A versatile microcomputer-controlled electrochemical system for data acquisition and analysis was constructed. The system is presently programmed for cyclic and normal pulse voltammetry, and can be used with other transient electrochemical techniques with a slight modification of the programme for data acquisition. The system can also be used with fast transient techniques; cyclic voltammograms were recorded at scanning rates of up to 1200V s
-1. The response of the system was examined by monitoring of the fast electrochemical reactions of quinone/ semiquinone systems, and the collected data were analyzed by finite difference methods. The system could work with a microelectrode assembly, and the signal-to-noise ratio was high enough.

Suppression of analyte signals by various concomitant elements was investigated. In addition to the ionization interference by easily ionizable elements reported previously, signal suppression by heavy matrix elements was found to be significant. The interference trend followed the order of atomic weight of the matrix elements,
i.
e., the larger the atomic weight, the severer the suppression effect. Ion scattering by collision with matrix atoms or ions in the course of ion traveling from the sampling orifice is proposed as the mechanism of the matrix effect.

A new coprecipitation method for the fluorometry of selenium(IV) and selenium(VI) in groundwaters has been developed. Selenium(IV & I) were coprecipitated with zirconium(IV) hydroxide from 1l of roundwater at pH 8. Without aging, the precipitate was centrifuged nd then dissolved in hydrochloric acid. Selenium(IV) was determined y the usual fluorometry with 2, 3-diaminonaphthalene (DAN). From other portion of the same groundwater, selenium(IV) and selenium(VI) ere determined by the DAN fluorometry after reducing all the selenium o selenium(IV) by 6M hydrochloric acid treatment. The oncentration of selenium(VI) was obtained by subtracting that of elenium(IV) from the total for selenium. The established method is apid and convenient (taking about 2h for 10 sample treatments) ecause the precipitate is easily separable without aging. The method is able to detect nanogram amounts of selenium, for use with high urity zirconium reagents (containing 0.003ng Se in 1mg of Zr) and with two sub-closed glass vessels to avoid any contamination.

A system is described for the separate determination of anions using HPLC with a potentiometric detector based on an ion selective electrode (ISE). The ISE consists of an oleophilic anion-exchange resin membrane impregnated with an organic solvent. A sodium sulfate solution containing a trace level of a primary ion for the electrode was used as an eluent. Sensitivity and selectivity of the ISE detector varies with a solvent species imbibed in the detector membrane and an ionic form of the membrane. Chromatograms for oxyacid anions (lO
3-, BrO
3-, ClO
3- and NO
3-) are shown, and relationships between chromatographic sensitivity and selectivity coefficients of the ISE detector are discussed.

A spectrofluorimetric method for the microdetermination of sulfide was established. This will eventually be applied to silicate rock analysis. An excess amount of Cu
2+ is added to precipitate copper(II) sulfide with sulfide ion. The remaining Cu
2+ forms a chelate with 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HPB) and quenches the fluorescence of HPB. The amount of sulfide is determined by measuring the fluorescence of the remaining HPB. The optimum reaction conditions, in which all the concerned reactions proceed stoichiometrically, were examined. By the proposed method, 5-640ng sulfide can be determined with a relative standard deviation of 1.1
4% at 250ng S
2- level.

A simple and accurate HPLC method was developed for the determination of pheophytinatoiron(III) chloride (PheoFeCl) prepared by the replacement of magnesium(II) in chlorophyll [pheophytinatomagnesium(II)] with iron( III). The good separation of PheoFeCl was obtained by using a stationary phase of C
18 chemically bonded to silica gel and a mobile phase of acetone-acetonitrile (50:50, v/v). A tailing of the PheoFeCl peak due to the dissociation of ion pairs was improved by addition of tetramethylammonium chloride to the mobile phase. The spectrophotometric method was also used for a comparison to the HPLC method. For the synthetic samples prepared by mixing (pheophytinato a)iron(III) chloride [(Pheo-a)FeCl] and (pheophytinato b)iron(III) chloride [(Pheo-b)FeCl], analytical values by the spectrophotometric method were extremely high compared to those by the HPLC method because of interferences from the absorption of coexistent pigments. In the proposed HPLC method, (Pheo-a)FeCl and (Pheo-b)FeCl could be determined in the concentration range of 0.025-30μg cm
-3and 0.06- 30μg cm
-3with relative standard deviations (n=10) of 6.2% and 18%, respectively.

Three new hydrazones, in which the hydrogen at the 5-position of the pyridine ring in the hydrazine moiety of 2- pyridinecarbaldehyde 2-pyridylhydrazone was substituted by a methyl, chloro or nitro group, have been synthesized and their chromogenic properties, reactivities with metal ions and extractabilities of the metal complexes studied. The acid dissociation constants (
ka) of the synthesized hydrazones were determined spectrophotometrically. These values obeyed Hammett′s law, the inductive effect of the substituents being found to reflect the p
ka values. Of the synthesized hydrazones, 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde 2-(5-nitro)pyridylhydrazone (PANPH), in which a electron-withdrawing nitro group was introduced, was most sensitive for metal ions. Its copper and nickel complexes showed molar absorptivities of the order of 10
5. A highly sensitive and selective extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of nickel with PANPH is proposed and has been successfully applied to the determination of nickel in steel samples. The method has been further sensitized by employing analogue derivative spectrophotometry.

1, 4-Dimethyl-3-carbamoylpyridinium chloride (DCP•Cl) has been synthesized as a new fluorogenic reagent for aromatic aldehydes. Aldehydes gave a green fluorescence (λ
ex420-439nm and λ
em504-519nm) after reaction with DCP•Cl at 37°C for 50min in the presence of alkali and sodium sulfite. The method is simple and sensitive for aromatic aldehydes except for those having hydroxy or dimethylamino group. Aliphatic and arylaliphatic aldehydes and substances other than aldehydes showed no or weak fluorescence. By the proposed method, benzaldehyde, furfural and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde could be determined in the ranges 0.06-3nmol/ml, 0.08- 3nmol/ml and 0.3-6nmol/ml, respectively, with relative standard deviations of 0.5-2.5%.

A water-soluble 9, 10-phenanthrenequinone-3-sulfonate was synthesized as a fluorogenic reagent which reacted with guanidino group in an alkaline solution. The reagent was used for the determination of guanidino compounds by high performance liquid chromatography where the mobile phase contained the fluorogenic reagent. Several guanidino compounds were separated within 20min on a Nucleosil C
8 column (3μm, 75mm×4.6mm i.d.) by an isocratic, reversed phase and ion-pair chromatography and detected as fluorophores derived from condensation with the reagent in an alkaline solution. The chromatographic system, in which the mobile phase contained the reagent, was simple because only two pumps were required to deliver the mobile phase and the alkaline solution. The relative standard deviation (within-run, n=10) and the limit of detection for the assay of the compounds were 3.00% and 0.1nmol, respectively. This method was applied to the determination of guanidino compounds in serum obtained from patients on haemodialysis therapy.

A simple and sensitive fluorometric method for the determination of vanillin is described. Vanillin gave an intense blue fluorescence (excitation maximum at 337nm and emission maximum at 400nm) in an alkaline medium after reaction with 4, 5-dimethyl-o-phenylenediamine in an acidic medium. Vanillin was determined in the range of 1-2000ng ml

Determination of dimethyl selenide(DMSe) in the breath air of mice was studied by GC. Collection of DMSe was carried out using a charcoal column(0.9×10cm) packed with 2g of activated charcoal granules. The charcoal was transferred into a 25ml glass-stoppered tube, and the tube was placed in chilled water. After 10ml of CS2 was added to the tube, the tube was immediately stoppered and the mixture was shaken for 30min. The extracts were filtered through glass wool and adjusted to 10ml. The extraction was repeated twice. A 5μl-aliquot of the extract was injected into the GC apparatus using a VZ-7 column and the peak height of the associated component was measured (
Rt=2.5min). The recovery was 70-76%, and the observed relative standard deviation was 4.2-9.6%. The amounts of DMSe in the breath air of 10 mice after the oral administration of selenite (50 μmol-Se/kg/d) for 5 consecutive days were in a range of 32-78μg.
