Internal standard method in flame atomic absorption spectrometry

Some selection criteria and experimental considerations for selecting an internal standard in flame atomic absorption spectrometry were studied. Rational criteria for the selection of internal standards include the atomization efficiencies of the elements. An experimental study of the variation of the atomization degree due to a temperature decrease can be made with the help of plots of absorbance against the rate at which the sample solution is introduced. The temperature decrease produced by increasing the rate at which water was introduced using a heated chamber without water-cooled condenser was estimated to vary from 2420 K to 2218 K with 1.0 ml water per minute. Curves for the alkali, alkaline earth, and several other metals were obtained in the air-acetylene flame. The shapes of the curves are critically dependent on the degree of atomization of the metal itself. Elements with curves that have similar slopes can be used as mutual internal standards. Some of the other factors which affect the atomization efficiencies—i.e. changes in fuel and air flow, and matrix composition—were also studied.     

Organophosphorus acid interferences in flame atomic absorption spectrometry

The interference of the organophosphorus acids, 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-bisphosphonic acid, aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid), ethylenediaminetetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid) and hexamethylenediaminetetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid) on the determination of eighteen metal ions by flame atomic absorption spectrometry is reported. Comparisons with the effect of orthophosphoric acid reveal similarities and distinct differences in their interfering effects. In the air/acetylen flame, depressive interferences are attributed to the formation of phosphates, M₃(PO₄)₂, or hydroxynpatite-like compounds, M₅(OH)(PO₄)₃, in the flame aerosol particles for Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Mn, Co and Ni. Iron(III) and chromium(III) appear to form stable oxide phosphates, M₂O₃?MPO₄ or M₃O₄?MPO₄. Evidence for the formation of stable molybdenum carbides, MoC and MoC₂, is also presented. In the nitrous oxide/acetylene flame, serious interferences perssisted only for molybdenum but were eliminated by the addition of sodium sulphate.     

Improvements in thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

In thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (TS-FF-AAS) a nickel atomization tube is placed in the acetylene/air flame on a holder built onto a standard AAS burner head. The liquid to be analyzed is transported by a low or high-pressure pump through a very hot, simple, inexpensive ceramic capillary tip acting as a flame-heated thermospray into the flame furnace. This results in complete sample introduction and increases the residence time of the sample in the absorption volume. This leads for 17 elements to a 3-110-fold improvement in the power of detection compared to conventional flame AAS. The absolute detection limits (3s values, N=25) lie between 0.2 μg l⁻¹ (Zn) and 310 μg l⁻¹ (Se) according to the element. The R.S.D. (N=15) is 1.4-5.5% according to the element and applied concentration. TS-FF-AAS can easily be incorporated on any standard flame AAS instrument and can be automated with a standard autosampler.     

Optimization and validation of arsenic determination in foods by hydride generation flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A hydride generation flame atomic absorption spectrometric method was developed and optimized to quantitate arsenic (As) in foods. A wet digestion of the samples with HNO3 + H2O2 was performed and excess oxidants were eliminated by addition of hydrochloric acid and urea. As5+ in As3+ was then reduced by potassium iodide. The As3+ solution was analyzed by generation of arsine with sodium tetrahydroborate. As determination ranged from 2.5 to 20 microg/L, with a determination coefficient of 0.997. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were 0.6 and 2.1 microg/L, respectively. The method was validated and good results were obtained for recovery, precision, accuracy, LOD, and LOQ. This method is now used to analyze foods from Rwanda.     

Determination of thallium in soils by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A method is described for the determination of Tl in soils by FAAS, involving extraction of Tl from 5 g of soil by digestion with HClO₄/HNO₃ followed by separation of the extracted Tl into 5 mL of diisopropylether from HBr solution, including Ce(SO₄)₂. Tl in the organic phase is determined by direct aspiration into the spectrophotometer. The percentage relative standard deviation (% RSD) for 5 replicate samples is about 1%. The detection limits (S/N = 3) of this method are 0.001 mg/L for aqueous solution and 0.02 mg/kg DW for soil, when 50 mL of soil solution corresponding to 2.5 g soil are used. The Tl concentration even of unpolluted soils can be determined. The method was shown to be unaffected by the presence of various ions in soil and was able to recover nearly 100% Tl added to soils. The arithmetic mean (range) of 18 Japanese unpolluted surface soils was 0.33 (0.10–0.56)mgTl/kg DW.

An automated extraction system for flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A manifold is described which allows continuous liquid/liquid extraction of aqueous solutions of metal ions. A fraction of the organic stream is separated and led into the sample loop of an injector. The injector is situated in an aqueous carrier stream which is pumped into the nebulizer. The organic extract enters as an undispersed plug into the carrier when the valve is actuated. A preconcentration factor of 5.5 resulting in a correspondent sensitivity increase is readily obtained for aqueous samples.     

Automation of the standard additions method in flame atomic absorption spectrometry

Two manifolds allowing the automation of the standard additions method in flame atomic absorption spectrometry by using two computer-controlled variable-speed peristaltic pumps operating in a programmed way are presented in this article. One of the pumps increases and the other decreases its turning speed linearly with time, so that the flow-rate supplied to the nebulizer is constant. In the first manifold, one pump moves the sample solution, while the other pump propels a standard solution, so that a continuously changing on-line mixture of both the solutions is obtained. In the second manifold, both pumps, one of which also pumps a standard solution, while the other pumps a diluent solution, propel the sample solution. This second manifold that exactly reproduces the standard additions method, is automatic and allows releaser solutions to be used. Both the procedures present the additional advantage over the conventional batch procedure of the very high number of data that can be acquired by the computer. The theoretical background of both manifolds is presented and their correct operation is experimentally verified.

Evaluation of selenium behavior in thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

The behavior of selenium in thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (TS-FF-AAS) was studied and the developed procedure was applied for selenium determination in biological materials after microwave-assisted sample digestion. A sample volume of 600 μL was introduced into the hot metallic Ni tube at a flow rate of 0.4 mL min⁻¹ using water as carrier. The limit of detection obtained for Se was 8.7 μg L⁻¹ (3s_blank/slope, n = 10), which is 95-fold better than that typically obtained using FAAS. The applicability of the TS-FF-AAS procedure was evaluated for selenium determination in biological materials. Certified reference materials of pig kidney (BCR 186) and mussel (GBW 08571) were analyzed and a t-test had not shown any statistically significant difference at a 95% confidence level between determined and certified values for both materials. The procedure was successfully applied for determination of Se in pig kidney and shellfish. It was demonstrated that TS-FF-AAS improved the performance of FAAS (flame atomic absorption spectrometry) for determination of Se.

Derivative flame atomic absorption spectrometry and its application in trace analysis

Flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) is an accepted and widely used method for the determination of trace elements in a great variety of samples. But its sensitivity doesn’t meet the demands of trace and ultra-trace analysis for some samples. The derivative signal processing technique, with a very high capability for enhancing sensitivity, was developed for FAAS. The signal models of conventional FAAS are described. The equations of derivative signals are established for FAAS, flow injection atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-FAAS) and atom trapping flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AT-FAAS). The principle and performance of the derivative atomic absorption spectrometry are evaluated. The derivative technique based on determination of variation rate of signal intensity with time (dI/dt) is different from the derivative spectrophotometry (DS) based on determination of variation rate of signal intensity with wavelength (dI/dλ). Derivative flame atomic absorption spectrometry (DFAAS) has higher sensitivity, lower detection limits and better accuracy. It has been applied to the direct determination of trace elements without preconcentration. If the derivative technique was combined with several preconcentration techniques, the sensitivity would be enhanced further for ultra-trace analysis with good linearity. The applications of DFAAS are reviewed for trace element analysis in biological, pharmaceutical, environmental and food samples.     

Lead preconcentration with flow injection for flame atomic absorption spectrometry

The flow-injecton preconcentration of lead with immobilised reagents under a variety of conditions is discussed. Timed sample loading and matrix removal without passing the matrix to the nebuliser were achieved simply with one valve. Reagent consumption and calibration time were reduced by the addition of further valves. A system design incorporating control of the timing of operations by a commercial autosample is described. The effects of pH and interferent ions were examined. Water samples were analysed against aqueous standards and as standard additions solutions. For an analysis time of about 3 min a preconcentration factor of about 40 was obtained for both peak height and area measurements. Detection limits of down to 1.4 ml^?1 were obtained.     

Indirect flow-injection determination of ascorbic acid by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A continuous-flow procedure is proposed for the indirect determination of ascorbic acid, based on its reducing properties because of the oxidation of its 1,2-enediol group. Iron(III) was injected into a 1,10-phenanthroline stream, which was mixed with a sample carrier and then with a sodium picrate solution stream. In these conditions the iron(III) was reduced to iron(II) by the ascorbic acid. Thus, the iron(II) formed reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline to form a charged red complex, which with picrate ion forms a stable red-orange uncharged ion-association complex that is adsorbed on-line on a non-ionic polymeric adsorbent (Amberlite XAD-4), proportionally to the ascorbic acid in the sample. The unadsorbed iron was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The proposed method allows the determination of ascorbic acid in the range 0.5–25 g ml^–1 with a relative standard deviation of 2.9% at a rate of ca. 90 samples h^–1. This method has been applied to the determination of ascorbic acid in pharmaceutical preparations, fruit juices and sweets. The results obtained in the analysis are compared with those provided by the 2,6-dichloroindophenol method.
