Determination of Platinum-Group Elements (PGE) from catalytic converters in soil by means of docimasy and INAA

The nickelsulfide fire assay (docimasy) for the enrichment of platinum-group elements (PGEs) has been modified for the use with small samples and combined with instrumental neutron-activation analysis (INAA). This procedure has been applied to the determination of PGEs exhausted from catalytic converters and deposited in soil near the Wiesbadener Kreuz (highway A3, Frankfurt-Köln). Our results show a considerable enhancement of the Pt (up to 330 ng/g), Pd (6.6 ng/g) and Rh (7.5 ng/g) contents close to the highway.

Investigation of the solubilization of car-emitted Pt,Pd and Rh in street dust and spiked soil samples

A sequential extraction procedure (three-step), proposed by the Standards, Measurements and Testing Programme (formerly BCR) of the European Union, was applied to street dust and spiked soil samples for the determination of PGEs. Analyses were carried out using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results indicate that up to 5% from Pt, 70% from Pd and 14% from Rh are in mobile forms in street dust. The results for the soil samples spiked with crushed catalytic converter are significantly lower indicating that PGEs are oxidised more efficiently in natural conditions. Additionally Pt and Pd bound to humic acids were investigated.     

Comparison of open digestion methods and selection of internal standards for the determination of Rh,Pd and Pt in plant samples by ICP-MS

An analytical procedure for the reliable determination of Pd, Pt and Rh in plant samples by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed. An ultrasonic nebulizer (USN) was used for sample introduction to improve sensitivity. Under various synthetic plant sample matrix compositions, it was established experimentally that moderate amounts (0.2–2%) of dissolved solids decreased the analyte signals significantly. Internal standardisation with In (for Pd and Rh) and Ir (for Pt) proved to be essential for obtaining correct results. Five open digestion approaches, used for converting solid plant samples to aqueous solution, were also tested for the purpose, namely dry-ashing, dry-ashing followed by HF attack, wet digestion with H₂O₂–HNO₃, wet digestion followed by HF attack and aqua regia digestion. Recovery tests in two spiked plant materials showed that only wet digestions must be used. With these ways, all PGEs could be reliably quantified by USN-ICP-MS without applying a separation or preconcentration step with a good precision (below 10% RSD). The aqua regia procedure was applied to the determination of PGEs in various plant matrices collected along a highway. Results showed that mosses were probably the best choice of samples to monitor the bioaccumulation of PGEs in time.     

Development of an analytical method for monitoring worker populations exposed to platinum-group elements

The increasing industrial use of platinum-group elements (PGEs), namely Ir, Pd, Pt and Rh, and related allergies such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, urticaria and contact dermatitis, have led to a growing need to monitor selected populations of exposed workers. In this study, the levels of PGEs were measured in indoor airborne particulate matter and in biological samples taken from employees of a plant where car catalytic converters are produced and precious metals are recovered from spent carbon catalysts. The development of an analytical procedure based on quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Q-ICP-MS) for the analysis of PGEs in airborne particulate matter and on sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS) for the analysis of PGEs in blood, serum, urine and hair is described. For airborne particulate matter deposited on filters, the limits of detection (LoDs) were found to be 0.006 ng m⁻³, 0.020 ng m⁻³, 0.018 ng m⁻³ and 0.006 ng m⁻³ for Ir, Pd, Pt and Rh, respectively. Repeatability of measurements ranged from 1.8 to 8.5%, while recovery was in the range from 92 to 102%. For biological samples LoDs in blood, serum, urine and hair ranged from (in ng l⁻¹) 0.2–0.6 for Ir, 5–10 for Pd, 1–3 for Pt and 2–3 for Rh. For all biological materials, the repeatability varied from 1.1 to 12% for the four elements. Recovery data for the determination of PGEs in biological matrices were found to range from 84.0 to 107.8%. The method was applied to the determination of either total or respirable airborne PGEs collected from five different work areas in the plant. The difference between areas with high and low exposure correlates closely with metal levels in hair, blood and urine. The correlation coefficients between Pt in airborne particulate matter and Pt in biological materials was 0.994, 0.991 and 0.970 for blood, hair and urine, respectively.     

Determination of all platinum-group elements in mantle derived xenoliths by neutron activation analysis with NiS fire-assay preconcentration

A modified NiS fire-assay neutron activation method is developed for the determination of all platinum-group elements (PGEs) in mantle-derived xenoliths. This method is characterized by sub-ppb detection limits, <0.1~0.002 ppb procedural blanks and 7~15% analytical precision for PGEs. Analyses of PGE standard rocks indicate that this modified NiS fire-assay neutron activation method is as reliable as the method previously proposed for a large scale of samples. The capability of the method for the measurement of PGEs in the upper mantle is also illustrated by some exciting results obtained from mantle-derived xenoliths of Eastern China.     

The use of cation exchange matrix separation coupled with ICP-MS to directly determine platinum group element (PGE) and other trace element emissions from passenger cars equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF)

Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry coupled with cation exchange matrix separation has been optimised for the direct determination of platinum group element (PGE) and trace element emissions from a diesel engine car. After matrix separation method detection limits of 1.6 ng g(-1) for Pd, 0.4 ng g(-1) for Rh and 4.3 ng g(-1) for Pt were achieved, the method was validated against the certified reference material BCR 723, urban road dust. The test vehicle was fitted with new and aged catalytic converters with and without diesel particulate filters (DPF). Samples were collected after three consecutive New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) of the particulate and "soluble" phases using a home-made sampler optimised for trace element analysis. Emission factors for the PGEs ranged from 0.021 ng km(-1) for Rh to 70.5 ng km(-1) for Pt; when a DPF was fitted, the emission factors for the PGEs actually used in the catalysts dropped by up to 97% (for Pt). Trace element emission factors were found to drop by a maximum of 92% for Ni to a minimum of 18% for Y when a DPF was fitted; a new DPF was also found to cause a reduction of up to 86% in the emission of particulate matter.     

Determination of platinum and rhodium in dust and plant samples using microwave-assisted sample digestion and ICP-MS

The platinum group elements (PGEs), particularly platinum, palladium and rhodium, are nowadays increasingly emitted into the environment from automotive catalytic converters. Thus, a method for the determination of PGEs (especially platinum and rhodium) in dust and plant samples was developed. The developed method was based on microwave-assisted sample digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) determination. Spectral interferences in ICP-MS determination were corrected using mathematical correction equations based on signal ratio measurement. In addition, platinum and rhodium concentrations in the digested dust samples were also determined after Te coprecipitation without correction of the interferences. The results for platinum and rhodium in reference materials (NIST SRM 2557, recycled monolith autocatalyst and BCR-723, road dust) were in good agreement with the certified values. Preliminary results for the anthropogenic platinum and rhodium emissions in Oulu, northern Finland, based on dust and plant samples, indicated a common traffic-related source of these metals.     

Determination of rhodium: Since the origins until today Spectrophotometric methods

Anthropogenic emission of platinum group elements (PGEs) from the abrasion of automotive catalytic converters into the environment has significantly increased. Dust emitted from the catalyst is causing pollution problems of these metals in the future. However, the concentration level of these PGEs is still very low in the nature. The choice of which determination method to use depends on the levels of rhodium, the nature of the sample matrix and the availability of the instrument. In recent years, the development of analytical methods for the determination of rhodium has increased. This review reports the developments in UV-vis absorption spectrometry applied to the determination of rhodium.     

Electrodeposition Sample Introduction for Ultra Trace Determinations of Platinum Group Elements (Pt,Pd, Rh,Ru) in Road Dust by Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

A novel method for the determination of the platinum group elements (PGEs: Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru) in environmental samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET-AAS) was developed. Sample preparation involved complete microwave-assisted acid digestion of the matrix with HNO₃-HF-HClO₃/HClO₄mixtures in a high-pressure Teflon bomb. Traces of PGEs were deposited on the inner wall of a graphite tube in a flow-through cell of 1 ml volume. A flow system for this preconcentration was constructed. For the electrodeposition, a three-electrode arrangement was used. The geometry of the cell, flow rate during electrodeposition, deposition potential and electrolyte composition were optimized. After the deposition step, the graphite tube was placed into the graphite furnace and an atomization program applied. Detection limits (LOD, 3σ_{total procedure blank}, peak area) of 3.6, 0.5, 0.3 and 5.9 ng were obtained for Pt, Pd, Rh and Ru, respectively, reflecting preconcentration factors of 416, 503, 423 and 46, respectively. The detection limits were restricted by variations in the blank. Precision of replicate determination was typically 21% RSD at a concentration 25-fold above the LOD for a 100-mg sample mass. Reasonable agreement was found between results for CW7 road tunnel dust literature and for CRM NIES No. 8 Vehicle Exhaust Particulates. Calibration was achieved via the method of standard additions.
