Environmentally Friendly Techniques Used at Automotive Engineering's Green Auto Repair Shop in Mesa, AZ, as They Perform a Free Engine Analysis

Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) July 30, 2010

Automotive Engineering is interested in decarbonized transportation. Until hybrid cars, and alternative fuels nullify gasoline, Automotive Engineering's free engine analysis donates to reducing automobile carbon emissions; thus helping protect our environment. The internal combustion engine should be in tip-top shape, allowing its maximum efficiency of 25%. A properly functioning catalytic converter will then use a chemical reaction to clean up combustion gases, before entering the atmosphere. The catalytic converter cleans the carbon emissions to virtually zero when it is 100 Percent efficient. Engineers have created an ozone preserving automotive part, which needs to be in excellent operating condition. Automotive Engineering offers a free engine analysis to ensure all automobiles they inspect are operating at peak performance. Their service allows for a significant smog reduction.

The automobile check engine light may be illuminated, informing the driver of a possible emission failure. Automotive Engineering will analyze all emission failures with precision by first identifying all engine parameters, followed by masterminding a proper repair procedure if needed. Statistics alert that the automobile has a 90% probability of an emission failure when the engine light is on; therefore immediate action is necessary to maintain a low-carbon omitting vehicle. Procrastinating Automotive Engineering's extensive engine analysis, keeps high omitting automobiles on the road, and improperly functioning automotive engines acting as an ancillary to our environment. Regardless of the engine light status a free engine analysis performed at Automotive Engineering will prove beneficial.

Automotive Engineering is at 1750 N. Rosemont suite 111, 85205. They offer comprehensive emission testing, and auto repair along with professional smog reduction. Automotive Engineering's technicians are master certified and extremely experienced in all makes and models. Providing the Mesa area with professional, and quality auto repair. To contact a qualified automobile service consultant, visit Automotive Engineering's Mesa Auto Repair shop, and receive a thorough engine analysis along with recommended automotive repairs.

EDXRF Analysis of Precious Metals in Recycled Automotive Catalytic Converters

Austin, TX (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

Applied Rigaku Technologies, Inc. today has announced an efficient and economical new method for the direct analysis of precious metals content of recovered catalytic converter cores.

The new method is detailed in application note #1095 and demonstrates the use of the Rigaku NEX CG benchtop EDXRF analyzer in the determination of precious metals in catalyst material. A typical catalytic converter contains a ceramic core coated with a layer containing a combination of platinum group metals (Pt, Pd, Rh). These converters are often recycled. Analysis of precious metals content of recovered catalytic converter cores is critical to assessing value of these elements within the automotive recycling stream.

In this application, a calibration method was built using the Rigaku RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters template, an advanced FP program that automatically deciphers overlapping elemental peaks and models the sample matrix using fundamental XRF equations. This allows for a measurement of elemental concentrations without the need for known assayed calibration standards. A Matching Library, using three assayed samples, was employed in conjunction with the RPF-SQX to enhance the accuracy of the results.

Rigaku?s unique RPF-SQX Fundamental Parameters software offers quick, direct analysis, of powdered catalytic converter cores, without the need for a large suite of calibration standards. The Rigaku NEX CG, with its high performance Cartesian geometry and advanced yet user-friendly software, therefore provides a convenient and valuable tool for the catalytic converter recycling industry.
