Abstract: | A new procedure for trace tungsten W(VI) in soil by fluorescence quenching method coupled with cloud point extraction (CPE) as the separation-preconcentration method was described. The Triton X-100 CPE behavior of W(VI)-salicylfluorone (SAF)was investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence quenched intensity (ΔF) was linearly with W(VI). The range of linear was 0.8 ~ 20.0 μg · L?1, the detection limit (DL) was 0.14 ng · mL?1 (3σ), the relative standard deviation 3.3% (c = 10.0 μg · L?1, n = 5) and the recovery was 101.0–102.2%. The proposed method applied to the analysis of W(VI) in certified reference materials and real samples. |
