All facilities of EPXMA were used for the source apportionment of more than 25,000 individual aerosol particles detected above the North Sea, the English Channel and the Celtic Sea. The North Sea aerosol is predominantly composed of sea salt, sulfur-rich particles, silicates and calcium sulfate particles. Their abundance is dependent on meteorological conditions and sample location. Differences were studied on the basis of the abundance variations by using principal component analysis. The first component represents the marine-derived aerosol fraction and is more important as wind speed increases or at more remote locations. The second component differentiates anthropogenically derived CaSO<sub>4</sub>-rich samples. Their relative abundance is more pronounced as the sampled air masses spend longer residence times over the South of England. The samples of the third cluster are related to high silicate and sulfur abundances. Two different clusters separate mixed marine/continental samples from pure continental-derived silicate and sulfur-rich particulate samples. On the average, of all samples taken during various locations and periods, about 60 % have a marine source. The other 40 % of the particles have a continental or mixed marine/continental origin. Five pairs of North Sea bulk waters and their corresponding surface micro layer samples were investigated for their particulate matter content and chemically analyzed and characterized by EPXMA and laser microprobe mass analysis (LAMMS). Multivariate techniques as hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering in association with principal component analysis were performed on a data set containing more than 3000 individual particles. The classification procedure yielded eight different particle types. Differences in particle type abundances for the micro layer and bulk water were observed. They were apportioned to their most probable sources. The results were compared with atmospheric and riverine particle data. The domination of the major particle groups (aluminosilicates, Ca-rich aluminosilicates, CaCO<sub>3</sub>, silicates and organic particulate matter) suppresses the relative abundance of the metal-rich particles (Fe-rich, Ti-rich and others). A conditioned classification was performed using selection criteria derived from riverine suspensions and atmospheric particulate North Sea data. Similar particle abundances were observed for both the multivariate and the conditional particle classification procedures. Chemical characterization of very small substances is of increasing interest in many domains of research. The ability of electron energy-Ioss spectrometry (EELS) to perform qualitative and quantitative information of light elements combined with a high spatial resolution, is one of the innovations of the late seventies. Beside spectrum analysis, an energy filter integrated in a transmission electron microscope offers the possibility of elemental specific imaging (ESI). In this work, an attempt is made to explore the characteristics of EELS for single particle analysis. Optimization of the instrumental parameters is discussed and the advantage of energy filtering is demonstrated for the localization and sizing of particles. ESI gives direct evidence of the localization of specific elements in a matrix and has major advantages over an X-ray mapping. Despite of this, the ESI-technique is not fully exploited and still suffers from shortcomings. To obtain reliable element specific images, the net intensity of the elemental edge must be determined. The net intensity is obtained by subtracting a background image. This background image needs to be","AbstractOtherLang":"Het Micro and Trace Analysis Center (MiTAC) is rijk aan technieken die speciaal ontwikkeld zijn voor de observatie en analyse van individuele deeltjes. Elektronenprobe X-straal microanalyse (EPXMA) in combinatie met multivariate classificatietechnieken laten op een zeer efficiënte en snelle manier de karakterisatie van individuele deeltjes toe. Nagenoeg alle faciliteiten van EPXMA werden benut voor de chemische karakterisatie van meer dan 25000 individuele aerosol deeltjes gedetecteerd boven de Noordzee, het Engels Kanaal en de Ierse Zee. De luchtmassa's boven de Noordzee en omgeving bevatten voornamelijk zeezout, zwavelrijke deeltjes, silicaten en calciumsulfaat deeltjes. Hun abundanties zijn sterk afhankelijk van meteorologische omstandigheden en van de monsterlocatie. Verschillen in samenstelling werden bestudeerd aan de hand van variaties in elementabundanties door gebruik te maken van \"principal component analysis\". De eerste component vertegenwoordigt de mariene afgeleide aerosolfractie en is meer belangrijk wanneer de windsnelheid toeneemt of wanneer de bemonsteringslocatie meer afgelegen is. De tweede component staat voor de industrieel afgeleide calciumsulfaatrijke monsters. Hun relatieve abundanties zijn meer uitgesproken luchtmassa's afkomstig van hoven Zuid Engeland. De monsters toegeëigend aan de derde component komen overeen met hoge abundanties aan silicaten en zwavelrijke deeltjes. Twee verschillende clusters onderscheiden gemengde mariene/continentale monsters van continentaal afgeleide silicaten en zwavelrijke deeltjes. In het algemeen kunnen we stellen dat ongeveer 60% van alle deeltjes een mariene oorsprong hebben. De resterende 40% hebben een continentaal of een gemengde mariene/continentale oorsprong. Vijf paren van bulk- en microlaag-watermonsters afkomstig van de Noordzee, werden onderzocht naar deeltjessamenstelling en chemisch geanalyseerd door EPXMA en laser microprobe massa-analyse (LAMMS). Multivariate technieken zoals hiërarchische en niet-hiërarchische clusteringen in combinatie met principal componenten analyse werden uitgevoerd op een dataset van meer dan 3000 deeltjes. De classificatie leverde acht verschillende deeltjestypes op. De chemische samenstelling van de deeltjesgroepen werd vergeleken met atmosferische en riviergegevens. De dominantie van de belangrijkste deeltjesgroepen (aluminosilicaten, Ca-rijke aluminosilicaten, CaCO<i>3</i>, silicaten en organische deeltjes) onderdrukten de relatieve abundantie van de metaalrijke deeltjes (Fe-rijke deeltjes, Ti-rijke deeltjes en anderen). Een conditionele classificatie werd uitgevoerd, gebruik makend van selectiecriteria afgeleid van gegevens van riviersuspensies en atmosferische deeltjes boven de Noordzee. Gelijkaardige deeltjesabundanties werden geobserveerd voor zowel de multivariate als de conditionele deeltjesclassificatie. In vele onderzoeksdomeinen vertoont men een stijgende interesse voor de chemische karakterisatie van zeer kleine deeltjes. De mogelijkheid van elektronen- energieverliesspectrometrie (EELS) om kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve informatie te bekomen over lage-Z elementen en dit bij hoge spatiale resolutie, is een van de innovaties van de zeventiger jaren. Een energiefilter ingebouwd in de kolom van een transmissiemicroscoop laat toe om naast spectrumanalyse ook elementspecifieke beelden (ESI) te genereren. In dit werk is de mogelijkheid onderzocht om de karakteristieken van EELS en ESI aan te wenden voor individuele deeltjesanalyse. De optimalisatie van instrumentele parameters werd onder de loep genomen en de voordelen van energiefiltering werden gedemonstreerd aan de hand van lokalisatie en groottebepaling van deeltjes. ESI geeft informatie over de lokalisatie van specifieke elementen in een matrix en heeft grote voordelen vergeleken met X-straal mappingen. Desondanks is de ESI-techniek nog niet volledig geëxploiteerd en leidt het nog aan enkele tekortkomingen. Om betrouwbare elementspecifieke beelden te bekomen moet men de","BibLvlCode":"M","StandardTitle":"Chemical characterization of individual particles by electron probe X-ray microanalysis and electron energy-loss spectrometry","OrigTitleLangCode":"fr","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"fre","OrigTitleLangID":22,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":null,"MonPub":1993,"DateUpdate":"2011-10-04","DateCreate":"2001-01-23","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":null,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1},"refs":null,"anarec":null,"monrec":{"MonID":5771,"ISBN":null,"PubliDate":1993,"IssueDate":null,"Volume":null,"Issue":null,"Pagination":"248","Place":"Antwerpen","Edition":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerID":null,"SerRR":null,"Ser2BRefID":null,"Ser2RR":null,"StandardTitleSer":null,"ISSN":null,"AbbrevSer":null,"Degree":"PhD","ThesisID":5771,"InsID":19,"Acronym":"MITAC","FullStandardName":"Universiteit Antwerpen;
