环境水样中总磷分析方法及仪器的研究进展

磷是生物不可或缺的营养元素之一,但由于人类活动影响,在地表水和近岸海水中总磷一直是主要污染指标。总磷测定通常分两步进行：一是将水样中各种不同形态的磷消解转化为可被检测的磷酸盐;二是测定消解后样品中的磷酸盐浓度。消解方法有硫酸-硝酸消解法、干法灰化法、微波辅助消解法、过硫酸钾-高温高压消解法、UV光氧化法等。测定方法包括电化学法、化学发光法、磷钼蓝分光光度法、磷钒钼黄分光光度法等。目前应用最为广泛的是过硫酸钾-高温高压消解法和磷钼蓝分光光度法。总磷测定仪器通常基于该消解法和测定法而开发,可分为用于实验室的水样离线分析仪和用于水体现场的在线分析仪两类。该综述总结了近20年来环境水样中上述总磷分析方法及仪器的研究进展,比较了各方法和仪器的特点,并分析了总磷分析方法和分析仪器的发展趋势。     

Spectrophotometric determination of nitrite and nitrate using phosphomolybdenum blue complex

A method for spectrophotometric determination of nitrite and nitrate is described. This method is based on the reduction of phosphomolybdic acid to phosphomolybdenum blue complex by sodium sulfide. The obtained phosphomolybdenum blue complex is oxidized by the addition of nitrite and this causes a reduction in intensity of the blue color. The absolute decrease in the absorbance of the blue color or the rate of its decrease is found to be directly proportional to the amount of nitrite added. The absorbance of the phosphomolybdenum blue complex is monitored spectrophotometrically at 814 nm and related to the concentration of nitrite present. The effect of different factors such as acidity, stability of the complex, time, temperature, phosphate concentration, molybdenum concentration, sodium sulfide concentration and the tolerance amount of other ions have been reported. Maximum absorbance is at 814 nm. The range of linearity using the conventional method is 0.5-2.0 ppm with molar absorptivity of 1.1 x 10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1). and a relative standard deviation of 2.6% for five measurements. The range of linearity using the reaction rate method is 0.2-3.6 ppm with a relative standard deviation of 2.4% for five measurements. The method is applied for determination of nitrite and nitrate in water, meat products and vegetables.     

Structure Characterization and Dephosphorization Effect Analysis of Oyster Shell-silica Micropowder Waste Water Dephosphorization Materials

In this work,the effects of pH value of waste water and initial concentration of phosphorus on dephosphorization materials were investigated.The materials were prepared by shaping,sintering and hydrothermal reshaping oyster shell and silica micro-powder.Different concentrations of phosphorus-contained waste water were simulated with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution,the effect of dephosphorization was tested with phosphomolybdenum blue spectrophotometer method,and the crystal phase and microstructure of materials were characterized by XRD and SEM methods.It was indicated that dephosphorization was completed in 6 h when the initial phosphorus concentration in waste water was lower than 15 mg/L,and the dephosphorization time prolonged as the increase of phosphorus concentration.It was observed that the pH value of waste water influenced dephosphorization significantly,and neutral subalkalic environment favored dephosphorization.When the pH value was 11,the efficiency of dephosphozation was the greatest.For waste water with an initial concentration of 20 mg/L,the dephosphozation rate is close to 100% in 8 h.     

Application of organic solvent-soluble membrane filters in the preconcentration and determination of trace elements: spectrophotometric determination of phosphorus as phosphomolybdenum blue

A simple and rapid preconcentration technique, based on collecting trace elements on a membrane filter and dissolving the membrane filter in an organic solvent, has been applied to the spectrophotometric determination of phosphorus in water. Phosphorus, 0.5-7 mug in 50-500 ml of water sample, is collected as phosphomolybdenum blue on a nitrocellulose or acetylcellulose membrane in the presence of n-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, the membrane is dissolved in 5 ml of dimethyl-sulphoxide (DMSO), and the absorbance of the DMSO solution is measured at 710 nm against a reagent blank. Moderate concentrations of silicate, anionic and non-ionic surfactants and high concentrations of sodium chloride do not interfere. Interference from arsenate can be eliminated by reducing the arsenate to arsenite. Condensed and organic phosphates can be determined if they are first converted into orthophosphoric acid by digestion with persulphate. The limit of determination is 0.002 mug of phosphorus in 100 ml of sample.     

Flow-through solid-phase energy transfer-room temperature phosphorescence for orthophosphate determinations at trace levels

The development of a flow-through solid-phase room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) method for the sensitive determination of orthophosphate in aqueous samples, based on the energy transfer from a phosphor molecule (acting as a donor) to an orthophosphate dye-indicator (acting as an acceptor) is described.The proposed method, to our knowledge the first RTP optosensor for orthophosphate developed so far, is based on the injection in a flow system of 1 ml sample treated to form phosphomolybdenum blue from the orthophosphate. After injection, the phosphomolybdenum blue is on-line co-immobilised onto a polymeric resin containing adsorbed erythrosine B. This selected donor molecule exhibits strong RTP in a de-oxygenated aqueous media when retained on the surface of polymeric resin beads. Absorption spectra of the phosphomolybdenum blue possess a desirable spectral overlap with the emission spectra of the RTP donor and a non-radiative energy transfer occurs from the phosphor molecule to the acceptor dye. An increase in the concentration of orthophosphate of the solution causes an absorption increase of the acceptor (phosphomolybdenum blue) and, therefore, an increase in the energy transfer, which brings about a decrease of the RTP emission. After measurement, the active sensing phase can be regenerated by passing 2 ml of 2 M sodium hydroxide plus 2 ml of methanol. After the injection of 1 ml of 2×10⁻⁶ M erythrosine B the system is prepared again for a new sample injection.Potential interferences by ions present in natural waters, which could affect the optosensor response, and analytical performance characteristics of the RTP method are discussed in detail. An orthophosphate detection limit of 0.5 ng ml⁻¹ (for 1 ml sample injection volume) was achieved. Finally, the selected RTP flow-through optical sensor has been successfully tested for the determination of orthophosphate in different water samples at a very few ng ml⁻¹ levels.

Factorial design for multivariate optimization of preconcentration system for spectrophotometric phosphorus determination

The present paper proposes a preconcentration procedure for phosphorus determination by using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. It is based on the formation of phosphomolybdate and its reduction to molybdenum blue. Phosphorus extraction as phosphomolybdenum blue complex was performed onto Amberlite XAD-4. The optimization step was carried out using two-level full factorial design. Three variables (resin amount, sample volume, flow rate) were regarded as factors in the optimization. The relative standard deviation was 2% at 0.08 μg mL⁻¹. The limit of detection was found to be 2.23 μg L⁻¹ (N = 15). The proposed solid-phase extraction procedure was applied to phosphorus in some fruit leaves, natural waters, and a standard reference material (SRM 1515 apple leaves).     

Reaction-rate method for the determination of phosphorus in agricultural products

A new automated reaction-rate method for the quantitative determination of phosphorus in grains and feeds is presented. The chemical methodology has been investigated, resulting in a high analytical throughput with precise, accurate results. The phosphomolybdenum blue reaction is used for the reaction-rate determination. After digestion of the samples by the official AOAC block digestion procedure, automated instrumentation is used for precise and rapid combination of the reactants and transfer of the mixed solution to an automated spectrophotometer. The rate of formation of the product during 5 sec is automatically determined and compared with rates obtained for phosphorus standards to determine the phosphorus content of the sample. Relative standard deviations of about 0.3% are obtained and results for determinations of phosphorus in grains and feeds are accurate as indicated by comparison with the average obtained by all laboratories participating in the AAFCO check sample programme.     

Spectrophotometric flow injection determination of total phosphorus in beer using on-line UV/thermal induced digestion

A flow injection system for the automatic determination of total phosphorus in beer is described. The developed manifold uses a two-stage photooxidation/thermal digestion procedure together with oxidizing and hydrolyzing reagents to convert all forms of phosphorus compounds to orthophosphate. Polyphosphates are hydrolyzed by acid and heat, and organo-phosphates are digested by UV-catalyzed peroxodisulfate oxidation. The orthophosphate formed is then spectrophotometrically determined by the phosphomolybdenum blue reaction, using stannous chloride as reducing agent. The results obtained for a set of 19 beer samples (with concentrations from 120 to 735 mg P/L) were in good agreement with the reference method, the maximum relative deviation found being 4.7%. Relative standard deviations for ten consecutive determinations were lower than 1.5%, and a detection limit of 1 mg P/L was achieved.

Oxygen-flask combustion of accumulated organophosphorus pesticides for monitoring water pollution

A procedure is described for the determination of the total concentration of organophosphorus pesticides in aqueous solution based on conversion of the compounds to orthophosphoric acid by oxygen-flask combustion and spectrophotometric determination as phosphomolybdenum blue. The procedure is particularly sensitive when preceded by efficient and selective accumulation of pesticides. The adsorption of malathion, parathion and phosalone on Amberlite XAD-4 resin from 1 l of 7–36 μM water solutions, followed by combustion of 500 μl of eluate yields of orthophosphoric acid with 90–105% recoveries. The detection limit is ca. 150 ng ml^?1 pesticide in an aqueous sample. Inorganic phosphates and most of some commonly present non-pesticide phosphorus compounds are eliminated from the water sample during the adsorption step. In combination with a test for monitoring traces of cholinesterase inhibitors in surface waters, the determination of the total amount of organophosphorus pesticides as a cumulative parameter offers reliable information on the pollution level of the water environment. Application of such a combined procedure to a pond water from an apple orchard showed good correlation between phosphrus content and the cholinesterase inhibition.     

The nature of the salt error in the Sn(II)-reduced molybdenum blue reaction for determination of dissolved reactive phosphorus in saline waters

Sn(II) is a well-known reductant used in the formation of phosphomolybdenum blue for the determination of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) in waters because it provides rapid and quantitative reduction. However, in saline waters, this method suffers from a salt error which causes a significant decrease in sensitivity. This phenomenon has never been adequately explained in the literature. The Murphy and Riley method, which uses Sb(III) and ascorbic acid for the reduction step, is preferred for DRP determination in saline waters because it is unaffected by salinity, but it exhibits a sensitivity approximately 30% lower than that when Sn(II) is used as the reductant without Cl⁻ interference. This study investigates the processes causing the salt error and possible ways of minimizing it, so that the benefits of Sn(II) reduction on the molybdenum blue reaction rate and sensitivity may be exploited in the determination of low levels of DRP in marine and estuarine waters. It has been established that the salt error is caused by the formation of Sn(IV) chloro-complexes which compete with the formation of Sn(IV)-substituted phosphomolybdenum blue, forcing the reaction to proceed via the much slower, less favourable process of direct reduction that occurs in methods using organic reductants such as ascorbic acid.     

A simple simultaneous flow injection method based on phosphomolybdenum chemistry for nitrate and nitrite determinations in water and fish samples

A direct spectrophotometric flow injection method for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate has been developed. The method is based on the oxidation of a phosphomolybdenum blue complex by the addition of nitrite and the decrease in absorbance of the blue complex is monitored at 820 nm. The injected sample is split into two segments. One of the streams was directly reacted with the above reagent and detected as nitrite. The other stream was passed through a copperised cadmium reductor column where reduction of nitrate to nitrite occurs, and the sample was then mixed with the reagent and passed through the cell of the spectrophotometer to be detected as nitrite plus nitrate. The conditions for the flow injection manifold parameters were optimised by experimental design and the concentration of nitrite and nitrate was determined in the linear range from 0.05 to 1.15 mug ml(-1) nitrite and 0.06 to 1.6 mug ml(-1) nitrate with a detection limit of 0.01 mug ml(-1) for nitrite and 0.025 mug ml(-1) for nitrate. The method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate in fish and water samples with a sampling rate of 25+/-2 sample per hour.     

Highly sensitive flow analysis determination of orthophosphate using solid phase enrichment of phosphomolybdenum blue without need for organic solvents in elution

In a flow analysis configuration, orthophosphate has been enriched as phosphomolybdenum blue on reversed phase polymers (styrene-divinylbenzene (DVB), methacrylate, dextran), recovered by an alkaline solution without added organic solvent, and measured photometrically at 700 nm. It was found that phosphomolybdenum blue is bound to those polymers mainly by fast adsorption but also partly by slow diffusion (which causes some carryover); the relative extent of both processes depends on the chemical nature of the polymer. With the enrichment column placed near the detector to minimize transport dispersion and an enrichment time of 120 s; a signal improvement factor of 30–50 was obtained using styrene-DVB.     

Phosphomolybdic acid as a reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of certain phenothiazine derivatives of pharmaceutical products

Phosphomolybdic acid is used as reagent for colorimetric determination of phenothiazine derivatives in various pharmaceutical products. The reagent oxidizes the derivative to a cationic free radical, with which it then forms a coloured salt. The method is simple and rapid. A preliminary extraction is necessary if certain reductants (sulphite or ascorbic acid) are present as stabilizers of the pharmaceuticals, as otherwise they reduce the reagent to phosphomolybdenum blue.     

Determination of trace phosphate ion in water by visual method after preconcentration on a membrane filter for field work

A sensitive visual method based on comparing the color intensity of precipitate as phosphomolybdenum blue on a membrane filter, has been developed for the determination of trace phosphate ion in water for field work. A sample solution containing 0.05-5.0 mug of phosphate was treated in a 25-ml polypropylene syringe, and the resulting precipitate was filtered through a membrane filter attached to the syringe. The color intensity of the precipitate on the membrane filter was measured visually following the standard series method. The coefficient of variation for five measurements at 0.5 mug of phosphate is 11%. The detection limit is 0.02 mug of phosphate ion in 22.5 ml (0.9 mug PO(3-)(4)/l) of water sample when the effective filtration area is 0.78 cm(2). The interference of various ions was studied and optimum conditions were developed for the determination of phosphate ion in natural water.     

Photoacoustic spectrometric determination of trace phosphorus as molybdenum blue adsorbed on uniform anion-exchange beads

Photoacoustic spectrometry was applied to the determination of phosphorus as molybdenum blue species adsorbed on an anion-exchange resin (10 mg of uniform beads). The photoacoustic intensity of ten resin particles on a glass plate was measured at 760 nm. The calibration graph obtained was linear in the range of 0.05–0.5 μg of phosphorus. The relative standard deviation for ten determinations of 0.3 μg P was 5.0%. The detection limit was 2 ng P ml^?1.     

Separation of molybdenum from interfering elements by extraction as phosphomolybdenum blue

A simple method is described for the separation of molybdenum from titanium, zirconium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, uranium and aluminium in a wide variety of samples in <30 min. Phosphomolybdenum blue is produced by boiling for 2 min a molybdate solution containing phosphate to give Mo/P = 20-37 (w/w) with hydrazine sulphate in 0.1N sulphuric acid. The volume and acidity are adjusted to give a molybdenum concentration of 0.6-5 my/ml in 0.4-0.5N sulphuric acid. The phosphomolybdenum blue is 99.5% extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone in a single extraction. The residual molybdenum and hydrazine in the aqueous phase are oxidized with a few drops of liquid bromine and the molybdenum is quantitatively extracted with the same solvent from 1N sulphuric acid as its reddish brown thiosulphato complex. The molybdenum is stripped by ammonia-hydrogen peroxide solution. The back-extract is heated to boiling and filtered to remove the insoluble hydroxides of traces of accompanying elements. The thiosulphate in the filtrate is destroyed by boiling for 4-5 min with excess of hydrogen peroxide in slightly ammoniacal medium. The molybdenum is determined finally by cerimetry or other standard methods.     

Immobilization of cellulose extracted from Robinia Pseudoacacia seed fibers onto chitosan: Chemical characterization and study of methylene blue removal

The design of economical adsorbents to remove pollutants from contaminated water is attracting more attention. In this study, cellulose was successfully extracted from Robinia Pseudoacacia seed fibers and immobilized onto chitosan beads. The prepared spherical beads were then used for the biosorption of methylene blue dye from aqueous media. Samples were investigated using several analytical methods, namely FT-IR, XRD, EDX, SEM, and TGA analyses. The adsorption experiments showed that combining cellulose with chitosan improved the removal of methylene blue. The maximum uptake amount of methylene blue using cellulose–chitosan composite beads was 55 mg/g. However, it was about 35 mg/g at 20 °C for chitosan beads. The kinetic data complied strongly with the pseudo-second order equation, suggesting that the biosorption phenomenon has predominantly a chemical nature. Overall, the current study has shown a promising technique to design new adsorbents from abundant natural polymers for eliminating cationic dyes from water.
