Simultaneous determination of arsenic, selenium, and mercury by Ion exchange-vapor generation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry

Ion exchange (IE)-vapor generation (VG)-inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-mass spectrometry (MS) method has been employed to simultaneously determine trace amounts of As, Se, and Hg in acidic conditions. Before hydride generation, anion-exchange column was used to separate the analytes from the matrix. Effects of sample solution acidity, eluant conditions and concentrating time were investigated and optimized. The method sensitivity was improved, as well as the ability to refrain interference caused by chloride, mental ions and other hydride-forming elements compared with (CF)VG-ICP-MS method. Limits of detection (3σ, n = 10) for As, Se, and Hg were As, 0.0021 ng/ml; Se, 0.0022 ng/ml; Hg, 0.0007 ng/ml, respectively; and recovery values for interference experiments were between 95.6 and 100.3%. The developed method was applied to four standard biological and geological materials, and the determined results of As, Se, and Hg were consistent with the certified values.     

Determination of hydride forming elements (As,Sb, Se,Sn) and Hg in environmental reference materials as acid slurries by on-line hydride generation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

A method for the determination of As, Hg, Sb, Se and Sn in environmental and in geological reference materials, as acidified slurries, by flow injection (FI) coupled to a hydride generation system (HG) and detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is proposed. The HG unit has a gas liquid separator and a drying unit for the generated vapor. The slurries were prepared by two procedures. Approximately 50 mg of the reference material, ground to a particle size ≤50 μm, was mixed with acid solutions in an ultrasonic bath. In Procedure A, the medium was a hydrochloric acid solution while in Procedure B, the medium was aqua regia plus a hydrochloric acid solution. The conditions for the slurry formation and the instrumental parameters were optimized. Harsh conditions were used in the slurry preparation in order to reduce the hydride forming analytes to their lower oxidation states, As (III), Se(IV), Sb(III) and Sn(II), before reacting with sodium tetrahydroborate. To test the accuracy, 10 certified reference materials were analyzed (four sediments, three coals, one coal fly ash and two sewage sludges), with the analyte concentrations mostly in the μg g⁻¹ level. Good agreements with the certified values were obtained for Hg, Sb and Sn in the sediments using Procedure A and calibration against aqueous standard solutions. Using Procedure B, good results were obtained for Hg, Se and Sn in the sediment samples, for Se in the coal and coal fly ash samples and for Hg in the sewage sludge samples, also using external calibration with aqueous standard solutions. For As in sediments, coals and coal fly ash, Procedure B and the analyte addition calibration was required, indicating matrix effects. The relative standard deviations were lower than 5%, demonstrating a good precision for slurry analysis. The limits of quantification (10 times the standard deviation; n=10), in the samples, in ng g⁻¹, were: 20 for As, 60 for Hg, 80 for Sb, 200 for Se and 90 for Sn. The method requires small amounts of reagents and reduces contamination and losses.     

Simultaneous determination of hydride forming elements (As, Sb, Se, Sn) and Hg in sonicate slurries of biological and environmental reference materials by hydride generation microwave induced plasma optical emission spectrometry (SS-HG-MIP-OES)

A slurry sampling hydride generation (SS-HG) method for the simultaneous determination of hydride forming elements (As, Sb, Se, Sn) and Hg, without total sample digestion, has been developed using batch mode generation system coupled with microwave induced plasma optical emission spectrometry (MIP-OES) from certified biological and environmental reference materials. Slurry concentration up to 3.6% m/v (particles < 80 μm) prepared in 10% HCl containing 100 μl of decanol, by the application of ultrasonic agitation, was used with calibration by the standard addition technique. Harsh conditions were used in the slurry preparation in order to reduce the hydride forming elements to their lower oxidation states, As(III), Sb(III), Se(IV) and Sn(II) and Hg, being reduced to mercury vapor, before reacting with sodium tetrahydroborate. An ultrasonic probe was used to homogenize the slurry in the quartz cup just before its introduction into the reaction vessel. For 10 ml of slurry sample, detection limits (LOD, 3σ_blank, peak area) of 0.06, 0.08, 0.15, 0.12 and 0.10 μg g^− 1 were obtained for As, Sb, Se, Sn and Hg, respectively. The method offers relatively good precision (RSD ranged from 9 to 12%) for slurry analysis. To test the accuracy, three certified reference materials were analyzed with the analyte concentrations mostly in the μg g^− 1 level. Measured concentrations are in satisfactory agreement with certified values for the biological reference materials: NRCC LUTS-1 (lobster hepatopancreas), NRCC DOLT-2 (Dogfish Liver) and environmental reference material: NRCC PACS-1 (Marine Sediment), all adequate for slurry sampling. The method requires small amounts of reagents and reduces contamination and losses.     

Simple destructive neutron activation analysis of mercury and selenium in biological materials using activated charcoal

A simple destructive neutron activation method for the determination of Hg and Se has been developed. The irradiated, sample is heated in a stream of oxygen at 1000°C, in a quartz tube in which two charcoal traps are positioned. The evaporated Hg, Se and contaminants such as Br are collected in the first charcoal trap. Only Hg is removed to the second trap by heating the first one at 750°C in a stream of nitrogen. The charcoal traps are them measured with a Ge(Li) detector. The analytical results obtained by this method for Hg and Se in several biological standard reference materials showed good agreement with the certified values.     

Determination of mercury in zinc ore concentrate reference materials using flow injection and cold-vapor atomic absorption spectrometry

A flow-injection, cold-vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of mercury in a proposed zinc ore concentrate Standard Reference Material (SRM 113b). The samples were digested with nitric and hydrochloric acids in closed Teflon digestion vessels. The experimental details for sample preparation and the flow injection method are discussed. The effect of matrix and various acid concentrations on the extraction and subsequent analysis of mercury were also studied. The method has a detection limit of 0.08 mug Hg/g in the sample. A certified reference material (CZN-1) was analyzed and the results obtained agreed well with the certified value.     

Determination of trace lead by hydride generation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry

A newly developed hydride generation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HG-ICP-MS) system was employed to determine trace amounts of lead in geological and biological samples. Laboratory-made single-stage and double-stage gas-liquid separators (GLSs) were investigated in order to replace the consumable membrane-GLS. Possible reasons were given why double-stage GLSs were superior over the single-stage ones according to the factors such as GLS volume and configuration, carrier gas inlet mode and flow rate. Interferences in liquid and vapor phase from concomitant ions and their products were investigated employing different flow mani-folds. Memory effects contributed to the blank values, but could be reduced employing a special wash protocol. Internal and external standardization were combined to improve the accuracy of the method, with bismuth as the internal standard according to its similarity with lead in the HG-ICP-MS system. Compared with ICP-MS and hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS) methods, the system performance of HG-ICP-MS was characterized with improved detection limit to 0.002 ng/ml and acceptable short- and long-term stabilities. The linear dynamic range of this method was up to 50 ng/ml lead. Three Chinese national certified reference materials: poplar leaves, human hair and copper ore, were analyzed for method validation, and the results agreed well with the certified values. At last, the method was also employed to determine wide range of lead concentrations in lightweight limestone and nervous tissue samples from infants of albino rats with recoveries between 95 and 105% (n=10).     

Determination of As, Ge, Hg, Pb, Sb, Se and Sn in coal slurries by CVG-ETV-ICP-MS using external or isotopic dilution calibration

A method for the multi-elemental determination of As, Ge, Hg, Pb, Sb, Se and Sn in coal reference materials by slurry sampling chemical vapor generation (CVG) using external calibration and isotopic dilution (ID) calibration and detection by electrothermal vaporization inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ETV-ICP-MS) is proposed. As, Ge, Sb, Se and Sn were determined using the external calibration, while, Hg, Pb, Se and Sn were determined by isotopic dilution. About 50–250 mg of sample was mixed with an acid solution, containing aqua regia and HCl, in an ultrasonic bath. For the isotopic dilution calibration, the enriched isotopes ²⁰¹Hg, ²⁰⁶Pb, ⁷⁷Se and ¹¹⁹Sn were added to the slurry in an adequate amount in order to produce an altered isotopic ratio close to 1. The vapor produced by the reaction of the sample slurry with the reducing agent was transported to the vaporizer and trapped in a Ir-treated graphite tube at 200 °C, before vaporization at 2100 °C and transportation of the vapor to the plasma. The accuracy of the method was assured by the analysis of four certified reference coal samples, using external calibration with aqueous solutions, prepared in the same medium and subjected to the same CVG and trapping procedure as the slurries and also by isotopic dilution calibration. The obtained concentrations were in agreement with the certified values, using the t-Student test for a confidence level of 95%. The detection limits (3 s; n = 5) of isotopic dilution, in ng g^− 1, were: 0.4 for Hg, 900 for Pb, 0.3 for Se and 0.2 for Sn. For external calibration, the detection limits, in ng g^− 1, were: 1.6 for As, 0.1 for Ge, 0.3 for Sb, 0.9 for Se and 7.5 for Sn. The relative standard deviations generally were lower than 14%, adequate for slurry analysis.
