Direct Simultaneous Determination of Cu,Ni and V in Seawater Using Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry with Mixed Ligands

An analytical procedure is proposed for the direct simultaneous determination in a single scan of Cu, Ni and V in seawater by means of adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (ACSV) with mixed ligands (DMG and catechol). Optimum conditions for the determination of these three elements were studied. Detection limits of the technique depended upon the reproducibility of the procedura blank, and were found to be 0.5 nM for Cu, 0.4 nM for Ni and 0.3 nM for V. The method is suitable for the analysis of estuarine, coastal and open‐ocean waters, and especially to study the metal contamination in areas subject to oil spill events.     

Experimental designs in the development of a new method for the sensitive determination of cadmium in seawater by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry

A new differential pulse adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetric (DPAdCSV) method for the direct determination of cadmium at subnanomolar levels in saline waters based on metal complexation with 2-acetylpyridine salicyloylhydrazone (APSH) and subsequent adsorptive deposition onto a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) is presented. A study strategy based on experimental designs has been followed. Operating conditions were improved with exploratory (Plackett-Burman) and surface response (central composite) experimental designs, involving several chemical and instrumental parameters (pH, ligand concentration, pulse amplitude, time interval for voltage step, voltage step, deposition potential and deposition time). Analytical parameters as repeatability, linearity and accuracy were also investigated and a detection limit (DL) of 0.06 nM was achieved which could be lowered by extending the adsorption time. The interference of other metals and major salts present in seawater was also studied. The method was validated with reference water samples: NIST-SRM 1643d and BCR-CRM 505, showing good concordance with the certified values.     

A compact flow injection analysis system for surface mapping of phosphate in marine waters

The design, construction and validation of a compact, portable flow injection analysis (FIA) instrument for underway analysis of phosphate in marine waters is described. This portable system employs gas pressure for reagent propulsion and computer controlled miniature solenoid valves for precise injection of multiple reagents into a flowing stream of filtered sample. A multi-reflection flow cell with a solid state LED photometer is used to detect filterable reactive phosphate (0.2 mum) as phosphomolybdenum blue. All the components are computer controlled using software developed using the Labviewtrade mark graphical programming language. The system has the capacity for sample throughput of up to 380 phosphate analyses per hour, but in the mode described here was operated at 225 analyses per hour. Under these conditions, the system exhibited a detection limit of 0.15 muM, reproducibility of 1.95 % RSD (n=9) and a linear response (r(2)=0.9992) when calibrated in the field with standards in the range 0.81-3.23 muM. The system was evaluated for the mapping of phosphate concentrations in Port Phillip Bay, south eastern Australia, and during the course of a 150 km cruise, 542 analyses were performed automatically. In general, good agreement was observed between analyses obtained using the portable FIA system and those obtained from manual sampling and laboratory analysis.     

Fabrication of graphene/Fe3O4@polythiophene nanocomposite and its application in the magnetic solid-phase extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from environmental water samples

Polythiophene (PT) was used as a surface modifier of graphene/Fe₃O₄ (G/Fe₃O₄) composite to increase merit of it, and also overcome some limitations and disadvantages of using G/Fe₃O₄ alone as solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbent. An in-situ chemical polymerization method was employed to prepare G/Fe₃O₄@PT nanocomposites. Application of this newly designed material in the magnetic SPE (MSPE) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), as model analytes, in the environmental water samples was investigated. The characterization of the hybrid material was performed using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. Seven important parameters, affecting the extraction efficiency of PAHs, including: amount of adsorbent, adsorption and desorption times, type and volume of the eluent solvent, initial sample volume and salt content of the sample were evaluated. The optimum extraction conditions were obtained as: 4 min for extraction time, 20 mg for sorbent amount, 100 mL for initial sample volume, toluene as desorption solvent, 0.6 mL for desorption solvent volume, 6 min for desorption time and 30% (w/v) for NaCl concentration. Good performance data were obtained at the optimized conditions. Detection limits were in the range of 0.009–0.020 μg L⁻¹ in the real matrix. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration ranges from 0.03 to 80 μg L⁻¹ with correlation coefficients (R²) between 0.995 and 0.998 for all the analytes. Relative standard deviations were ranged from 4.3 to 6.3%. Appropriate recovery values, in the range of 83–107%, were also obtained for the real sample analysis.     

Determination of trace metals in seawater by an automated flow injection ion chromatograph pretreatment system with ICPMS

A novel flow injection ion chromatograph (FI-IC) system has been developed to fully automate pretreatment procedures for multi-elemental analysis of trace metals in seawater by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICPMS). By combining 10-port, 2 position and 3-way valves in the FI-IC manifold, the system effectively increase sample throughput by simultaneously processing three seawater samples online for: sample loading, injection, buffering, preconcentration, matrix removal, metal elution, and sample collection. Forty-two seawater samples can be continuously processed without any manual handing. Each sample pretreatment takes about 10 min by consuming 25 mL of seawater and producing 5 mL of processed concentrated samples for multi-elemental offline analysis by ICPMS. The offline analysis improve analytical precision and significantly increase total numbers of isotopes determined by ICPMS, which include the metals Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Ti, V, and Zn. The blank value and detection limits of trace metals using the system with ICPMS analysis all range from 0.1 to 10 parts per trillion (ppt), except Al, Fe, and Zn. The accuracy of the pretreatment system was validated by measuring open-ocean and coastal reference seawater, NASS-5 and CASS-4. Using the system with ICPMS analysis, we have obtained reliable trace metal concentrations in the water columns of the South China Sea. Possessing the features of full automation, high throughput, low blank, and low reagent volume used, the system automates and simplifies rigorous and complicated pretreatment procedures for multi-elemental analysis of trace metals in seawater and effectively enhances analytical capacity for trace metal analysis in environmental and seawater samples.     

Constant Current Chronopotentiometric Stripping Analysis of ‘N‐Catalyst’ in Sodium Chloride Solution and Seawater

Catalytic properties and surface activity of nitrogen containing polymeric organic material (N‐POM) were analyzed by constant current chronopotentiometric stripping analysis (CPSA) and alternating current (AC) voltammetry in sodium chloride solution (pH 8) and seawater. CPSA proved to be a suitable method for determination of low concentrations of N‐POM in seawater by measuring its ‘presodium’ catalytic peak H. A protein human serum albumin (HSA) (15% of N) was used as a model compound and the concentration of N‐POM from natural seawater samples was expressed in HSA concentration equivalents. Peak H represents an additional parameter for characterization of natural organic matter.     

An Investigation into the Suitability of Bismuth as an Alternative to Gold‐Amalgam as a Working Electrode for the In Situ Determination of Chemical Redox Species in the Natural Environment

The suitability of the bismuth film working electrode was investigated as an alternative to the gold‐amalgam electrode used in solid state microelectrodes for in situ voltammetric analysis of redox chemistry in the natural environment (e.g., lakes, oceans, sedimentary pore waters). Chemical redox species measurable with the Au‐amalgam include O₂, H₂S, S , S₂O , Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Mn²⁺, I^?. Bismuth was electrochemically deposited to form a solid film analogous to the Au‐amalgam on a polished gold disk electrode. The useable potential window of the Bi‐film was found to be narrower than that of the Au‐amalgam, precluding the detection of dissolved O₂, I^? and S₂O , whose redox potentials fall outside the Bi‐film's range. The Bi‐film was able to detect free H₂S/HS^? and total sulfide (AVS), but not Fe²⁺ or Mn²⁺. The Bi‐film was less sensitive to low levels of total sulfide (<10 μM) than the Au‐amalgam; however, the Bi‐film was able to accurately quantify very high concentrations of sulfide (at least 15 mM), with a linear response up to an order of magnitude higher than that of the Au‐amalgam. Thus the Bi‐film appears to have limited application as an alternative to the Au‐amalgam microelectrode for in situ analysis of redox species in natural waters.     

Direct injection of seawater for the analysis of nitroaromatic explosives and their degradation products by micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Practical considerations for the injection and separation of nitroaromatic explosives in seawater sample matrices are discussed. The use of high surfactant concentrations and long electrokinetic injections allows for improved detection limits. Sensitivity was enhanced by two mechanisms, improved stacking at the detector-side of the sample plug and desorption of analyte from the capillary wall by surfactant-containing BGE from the inlet side of the sample plug. Calculated limits of detection (S/N = 3) for analytes prepared in pure seawater were 70–800 ppb with injection times varying from 5 to 100 s.     

On-site determination of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in seawater by stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and thermal desorption GC-MS

The identification and quantification of semi-volatile contaminants dissolved in water is currently done in laboratory after a sampling step. This procedure is not satisfactory first because risks of samples contamination and analytes losses remain, in particular when these are present in ultra-trace concentrations, and secondly because procedures are time-consuming. The coupling of the stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), a new device of extraction technique, and a new generation of gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the field apparatus EM 640 S from Bruker, could be an answer to the challenge of on-site analysis. This analytical system was used to analyze 24 PAHs, among them 15 EPA priority pollutants. It was shown that this coupling led to encouraging results with LODs around the sub-ppt level for most of the compounds and R.S.D. included between 1 and 48%. The existence of competition phenomena between the various analytes inside the absorbent phase was demonstrated with the release (up to 80%) of light compounds. This result shows the necessity to work on the kinetic domain rather than on the thermodynamic equilibrium that is influenced by nature and concentration of other compounds. The matrix effects were also studied through the comparative analysis of ultrapure water, artificial and natural seawaters spiked with PAHs and the influence of ionic strength and particulate organic matter was investigated.
