Gas-Screen Slotted Quartz Tube Atomic Absorption Spectrometry: A Remedy for Reducing Interference Effects of Calcium and Chromium

A simple device for the reduction of nonspectral interferences in flame atomic absorption spectrometry is proposed. It has been reported that the use of a gas screen (GS) system together with a slotted quartz tube (SQT) enhances the residence time of analyte atoms in measurement zone even more than the SQT alone. This combination causes enhancement of sensitivity and improves the reproducibility of absorbance measurements. In addition, it protects the optical windows of the atomic absorption spectrometer. The operational mechanism of gas screen is simply applying two argon gas walls at both ends of SQT to provide an environment that is partly protected from air. This action enhances the sensitivity of measurement.

In this study, interference effects of excess amounts of calcium and chromium on the measurements of Cd, Co, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, Se, and Zn were studied using flame AAS. The presence of both Ca and Cr cause higher absorbance values; it is suggested that this is due to formation of oxide species of Ca and Cr and as a result analyte oxide production is suppressed. Therefore, analyte free atom population and sensitivity are enhanced. This enhancement results in a positive error in measurements. For instance, presence of solely 8.0 mg L^?1 of Cr or Ca for Pb as the analyte enhances the signals by 75% and 56%, respectively. When SQT or GS-SQT is used, this effect is significantly reduced.     

Comparison of atomic absorption,mass and X-ray spectrometry techniques using dissolution-based and solid sampling methods for the determination of silver in polymeric samples

In this work, the capabilities and limitations of solid sampling techniques – laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS), wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WD-XRFS) and solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (SS-ETAAS) – for the determination of silver in polymers have been evaluated and compared to those of acid digestion and subsequent Ag determination using pneumatic nebulization ICPMS (PN-ICPMS) or flame AAS (FAAS).     

Study on microwave induced plasma atomic absorption spectrometry (MIP-AAS) for the determination of calcium in axial viewing mode

A low-power surface-wave plasma device (surfatron) is employed as an atomizer for microwave induced plasma atomic absorption spectrometry (MIP-AAS) and a desolvation-condensation apparatus has been used to remove the solvent in the aerosol. An axial viewing absorption technique is adopted for the determination of calcium. The matrix effect on its determination has been investigated in detail. Some enhancing effects are observed on the calcium absorbance in the presence of organic additives. A possible mechanism for this enhancement is discussed.     

Determination of total chromium traces in tannery effluents by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry, flame atomic absorption spectrometry and UV-visible spectrophotometric methods

Three different analytical methods comprising colorimetric method with 1,5-diphenyl-carbazide, electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS) and flame atomic absorption spectrometry were utilized in a study to determine traces of chromium (Cr) in synthetic tannery effluent from laboratory scale treatment process variations. All the results obtained using the three different methods showed good agreement and met the requirement of Brazilian regulation for total Cr for effluent discharges (<0.5 mg l(-1)). However, ET AAS has been the proposed method because it was faster, less laborious, needed smaller volume of sample and presented lower limit of quantification (LOQ=2.2 mug l(-1)).     

Direct determination of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in water by flow injection flame atomic spectroscopy, using a dilution chamber

Summary A simple procedure to carry out the direct analysis of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in water by flow injection analysis (FIA) using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or flame photometry (FP) has been developed, using a well stirred dilution chamber to extend the calibration range, and both a double injector and the merging zone technique to add a lanthanum solution to samples and standards. The results obtained in the analysis of real samples agree with those found by a batch flame atomic procedure. The use of the dilution chamber makes it possible to carry out the calibration using the dilution profile of a single concentrate standard for each element, and an empirical dilution equation, which could be employed for all the elements is determined in each work session.

Molecular absorption spectrometry in flames and furnaces: A review

Molecular absorption spectrometry (MAS), originally developed in the 1970s, is a technique to determine non-metals in flames and graphite furnaces by monitoring the absorbance of diatomic molecules. Early studies employed low resolution instruments designed for line source atomic absorption, which provided a limited choice of analytical wavelengths, insufficient spectral resolution, and spectral interferences. However, the development of high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS AAS) instrumentation has allowed the analysis of challenging samples for non-metals as well as some difficult elements to determine by AAS, such as aluminum and phosphorus. In this review, theory and analytical considerations for MAS are discussed. The principles and limitations of low resolution MAS are described, along with its applications. HR-CS AAS instrumentation is reviewed, emphasizing performance characteristics most relevant for MAS. Applications of flame and HR-CS GFMAS are reviewed, highlighting the most significant work to date. The paper concludes with an evaluation of the enhanced analytical capabilities provided by HR-CS MAS.     

Projects for the improvement of the quality of chemical speciation analyses in environmental matrices

Summary The release of organometallic compounds and other chemical forms of elements in the environment has caused great concern because of their possible high toxicity. To validate the analytical techniques, the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) has undertaken a series of projects for the improvement of the quality of determinations of chemical species in environmental matrices. The implementation of these projects follows a stepwise approach involving intercomparisons to detect and remove sources of errors in different phases of the analytical methods and the certification of the compounds in various matrices. The current projects deal with the determination of the extractable content of trace metals in soils (single extraction) and sediment (sequential extraction), forms of aluminium in water, elements with different oxidation states (e.g. As, Cr and Se) and organic forms (e.g. methylated forms of As in solution, methyl-mercury in fish, arseno-betaine and -choline in solutions, triethyl- and trimethyl-Pb compounds in solution, and butyltin compounds in sediment).Abbreviations AAS atomic absorption spectrometry - CVAAS cold vapour AAS - DPP differential pulse polarography - ECD electron capture detector - ETAAS electrothermal AAS - FIA flow injection analysis - FID flame ionisation detector - FLUOR spectrofluorimetry - FPD flame photometric detector - GC gas chromatography - HG hydride generation - HPLC high performance liquid chromatography - HPLC-AES HPLC atomic emission spectrometry - INAA instrumental neutron activation analysis - ICPAES Inductively coupled plasma AES - MS mass spectrometry - QFAAS quartz furnace AAS - RNAA neutron activation analysis with radiochemical separation     

Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Investigation and Determination of Palladium

This work aims to achieve a determinate characterization of compound formation and to find out the resolution to overcome chemical interferences in atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) determination of palladium.

Coupling of ultrasonic nebulization to flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry—new possibilities for trace element determination

The use of ultrasonic nebulization (USN) with desolvation system for sample introduction in flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F AAS) and flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (FF AAS) with a nickel tube is described. Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) adaptors were built to replace the pneumatic nebulizer for USN-F AAS measurements. For USN-FF AAS analysis, an alumina injector allowed the direct introduction of the dry aerosol into the nickel tube. The analytical performance of both systems is shown for Ag, Bi, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, Sb, Se, Tl and Zn. The results demonstrate that a sensitivity gain of up to 39 times can be achieved using USN-FF AAS, mainly due to the increase in residence time and to the absence of dilution of the analyte by the flame gases, as the atomization takes place inside the nickel tube. However, elements that require higher atomization temperatures, such as Cr and Mn, are more efficiently determined using USN-F AAS. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed methods for the determination of trace elements, five certified reference samples were analyzed, and good agreement was, in general, achieved between certified and determined values at a 95% confidence level. The relative standard deviation was frequently below 5%, demonstrating good precision, particularly for USN-FF AAS. In this sense, coupling of USN with F AAS and especially with FF AAS has proved to be simple, safe, with high precision and good accuracy, also maintaining some of the most important features of F AAS, such as the high analytical frequency and the low running cost.     

Speciation of chromium (VI) and total chromium determination in welding dust samples by flow-injection analysis coupled to atomic absorption spectrometry

We have studied the speciation of chromium (VI) in stainless-steel welding dusts. The approach used for the analysis of Cr(VI) and total Cr relies on a flow-injection analyzer (FIA) equipped with two different sequential detectors. The system measures Cr(VI). by colorimetry (with 1,5-diphenyl carbohydrazide) and total chromium content by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The extraction of the samples of welding-fume dusts is achieved in a buffer solution (acetic acid and sodium acetate at pH 4). This extraction procedure gives a 96% recovery of chromium (VI). The FIA-AAS system that has been described is also more sensitive, has a lower detection limit (0.005 mug ml(-1)) and gives a better precision (< 1%) than other equivalent systems that have been previously described.     

The determination of wear metals in used lubricating oils by flame atomic absorption spectrometry using sulphanilic acid as ashing agent

A simple and reliable ashing procedure is proposed for the preparation of used lubricating oil samples for the determination of calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, chromium and nickel by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Sulphanilic acid was added to oil samples and the mixture coked and the coke ashed at 550 degrees C. The solutions of the ash were analysed by flame AAS for the metals. The release of calcium, zinc, iron and chromium was improved by the addition of sulphanilic acid to samples. The relative standard deviations of metal concentration results in the initial oil samples were 1.5% for Ca (1500 mg l(-1) level), 0.3% for Mg (100 mg l(-1) level), 3.1% for Zn (1500 mg l(-1) level), 0.7% for Fe (500 mg l(-1) level), 0.02% for Cr (50 mg l(-1) level) and 0.002% for Ni (10 mg l(-1) level). The optimum sample size for efficient metal release was 20 g while the optimum sulphanilic acid to oil ratio was 0.05 g per gram of oil for Zn and Cr and 0.10 g for Ca and Fe. Results obtained by this procedure were highly reproducible and comparable with those obtained for the same samples using standard procedures.     

Preconcentration and Determination of Chromium Species Using Octadecyl Silica Membrane Disks and Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

A novel and selective method for the fast determination of trace amounts of chromium species in water samples has been developed. The procedure is based on the selective formation of chromium diethyldithiocarbamate complexes at different pH in the presence of Mn(II) as an enhancement agent of chromium signals followed by elution with organic eluents and determination by atomic flame absorption spectrometry. The maximum capacity of the employed disks was found to be (396±3) µg and (376±2) µg for Cr(III) and Cr(VI), respectively. The detection limit of the proposed method is 49 and 43 ng·L^?1 for Cr(III) and Cr(VI), respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for determination of chromium species Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in different water samples.     

Mechanical feed burner with total consumption for flame photometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy

A mechanical feed burner has been developed for use in flame photometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The optimum flame conditions for cinisaion and absorption are very different. These conditions are also modified when organic instead of aqueous solvents are used. When different organic solvents are used, the interference is eliminated with atomic absorption but not emission. Flame profiles of a.tomic absorption and emission signals indicate that the processes are independent; the best signal for each is obtained at different parts of the flame. With emission, it appears that line spectra and background emission originate from the same process e.g. chemiluminescence

Coupled gas chromatography-atomic absorption spectrometry.

The specific, precise detection of volatile metal chelates has been obtained by coupling the effluent from a gas chromatograph directly to the burner head of a commerical atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). Quantitation of chromium in the nanogram range has been accomplished with a detection limit of 1.0 ng. The chelation-extraction-gas chromatographic separation procedure coupled with the selective detection by AAS gives a relatively interference-free system that has been used to quantitatively analyse for chromium in standard biological materials NBS SRM 1571 Orchard Leaves and SRM 1569 Brewers Yeast. Metal chelates of iron, copper and cobalt have also been detected by this system.     

A study on the reproducibility of Tessier's extractions in a fluvial sediment and a comparison between different dissolution procedures in a reference material

The reproducibility of Tessier's extractions and the total content of cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, lead, zinc and calcium in a river sediment have been evaluated. The metals were determined with AAS in flame and in graphite furnaces. The accuracy of the dissolution procedures was evaluated using a reference material (RM) BCR 145; none of the methods applied proved optimal for all the metals determined. The concentrations of metals extracted by the various reagents were characterized by good reproducibility on species bonded to the carbonates, to iron and manganese oxides and in the residual; precision was lower in the other cases. The sequential extractions also showed a satisfactory mass balance.
