Flame Photometry: Overview01:02

Flame Photometry: Overview

911
Flame photometry, also known as flame emission spectrometry, is a technique used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements present in a sample using a flame as the source of excitation energy. The concept of flame photometry was realized in the early 1860s by Kirchhoff and Bunsen, who discovered that specific elements emit characteristic radiation when excited in flames. The first instrument developed for this purpose was used to measure sodium (Na) in plant ash using a Bunsen...

Enthalpy and Heat of Reaction02:12

Enthalpy and Heat of Reaction

9.0K
Combustion, commonly known as burning, is a reaction in which a substance reacts with an oxidizing agent, which in most cases is molecular oxygen, to liberate energy in the form of heat, light, or sound. The heat of combustion is also known as the enthalpy of combustion. The energy released when one mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion at constant pressure is called molar heat of combustion. Combustion reactions are exothermic; that is, they release energy, and their ΔH sign...

Flame Photometry: Lab01:16

Flame Photometry: Lab

468
In a flame photometer, when a solution like potassium chloride is aspirated into the flame, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind dehydrated salt. This salt dissociates into free gaseous atoms in their ground state. Some of these atoms absorb energy from the flame, leading to their excitation. The excited atoms return to the ground state, emitting photons at characteristic wavelengths. Because only electronic transitions are involved, the resulting emission lines are very narrow. The intensity...

Combustion Energy: A Measure of Stability in Alkanes and Cycloalkanes02:14

Combustion Energy: A Measure of Stability in Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

7.1K
The low reactivity in alkanes can be attributed to the non-polar nature of C–C and C–H σ bonds. Alkanes, therefore, were  initially termed as “paraffins,” derived from the Latin words: parum, meaning “too little,” and affinis, meaning “affinity.”
Alkanes undergo combustion in the presence of excess oxygen and high-temperature conditions to give carbon dioxide and water. A combustion reaction is the energy source in natural gas, liquified...

Internal Combustion Engine01:20

Internal Combustion Engine

1.9K
The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that uses the byproducts of combustion as the working fluid instead of using a heat transfer medium to transfer heat. The combustion is done in a way that produces high-pressure combustion products that can be expanded through a turbine or piston to create work. Internal combustion engines can again be categorized into three kinds: (1) spark ignition gasoline engines, most commonly used in automobiles, (2) compression ignition diesel engines that...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Atomization Methods

764
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) atomizes samples through flame atomization or electrothermal atomization. Flame atomization typically involves a nebulizer and spray chamber assembly to combine the sample with a fuel–oxidant mixture, creating a fine aerosol mist that enters a burner. Typically, the fuel and oxidant are combined in an approximately stoichiometric ratio. However, for atoms that are easily oxidized, a fuel-rich mixture may be more advantageous. Only about 5% of the...

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Burn Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Flame burns cause significant long-term health issues and functional impairments.
  • Understanding mortality factors in flame burn patients is crucial for improving care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze mortality-related factors in patients treated for flame burns.
  • To compare findings with existing literature on burn injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective descriptive study of 131 flame burn patients.
  • Data collected from January 2016 to December 2019 at Gazi Yaşargil Training and Research Hospital, Turkey.
  • Analysis included patient demographics, affected areas, treatments, complications, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients (78.6%) were young males (mean age 25.3 years).
  • Upper extremities and face were most commonly affected (51.9%), with conjunctivitis in 37.4%.
  • Wound infection rate was 34.3%, with Staphylococcus epidermidis being the most common isolate (24.4%). Mortality was 2.2% (sepsis, inhalation injury, suicide).

Conclusions:

  • Flame burns predominantly impact young men, often resulting in deeper burns requiring extensive surgical treatment.
  • Higher incidence of wound infections and prolonged hospital stays are associated with these severe burn injuries.
  • Further research into preventative strategies and optimized treatment protocols for high-risk populations is warranted.
