Determination of arsenic content in natural water by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after collection as molybdoarsenate on activated carbon

A sample solution containing less than 0.5 μg of As was adjusted to pH 2. As in the solution was collected on activated carbon (AC) as molybdoarsenate. The AC was directly introduced as an AC suspension into a graphite furnace atomizer, and the concentration of As was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). This method is relatively free from interference caused by coexisting ions. The calibration curve was linear up to 0.1 mg l⁻¹, and limit of detection of As was 0.004 mg l⁻¹. When 1000 ml of sample solution is preconcentrated to 5 ml (enrichment factor is 200-fold) 0.02 μg l⁻¹ of As could be determined, and relative standard deviation was below 4.0% (by the deuterium background correction system). The method was applied to sea water and well water, and the sum of As(III) and As(V) was determined with satisfactory results.

超声波辅助-活性炭富集-火焰原子吸收光谱法测定岩石矿物中的金

在战略性性矿产资源中,金一直都是极其紧缺且重要的元素。目前岩石矿物测定金使用较广泛的方法主要为火试金重量法、活性炭富集-原子吸收光谱法。然而这两种方法分析步骤都比较繁琐,受环境条件影响大,测样周期长,不适合大批量分析测试任务。本文通过超声波辅助,基于超声空化效应,活性炭在超声空化所产生的局部高温、高压、冲击波、微射流等加强传质作用下,能快速高效地对样品中的金离子进行富集的原理,建立一种独特的活性炭富集方法,改进过滤方式,运用火焰原子吸收光谱仪测定金的新方法。通过对9个金矿石成分标准物质GBW(E)070012a、GBW07807a、GBW07808b、GBW07300a、GBW07809b、GBW07297a、GBW07298a、GBW07299a、GBW07810进行实验对比分析,优化方法中活性炭用量,超声波频次与功率、时间、溶液温度等实验条件。研究确定活性炭用量为0.5g后金的回收率趋于稳定;超声波频次和时间设定为100kHZ,20min不仅测定数据准确且能较大幅度缩短工作时间;溶液温度控制在20℃为宜。在优化条件下,方法验证测定得出金的质量浓度在0~20mg/L范围内校准曲线方程为Abs=0.01958K+0.000642,相关系数（R2）为1.0000,以金矿石标准物质GBW(E)070012a平行测定12次计算得出方法检出限（MDL）为0.02248ug/g;以GBW07807a等8个金矿石标准物质进行精密度和正确度方法实验,相对误差（RE）为0.23%~1.50%,相对标准偏差（RSD）为0.43%~3.65%。与国家标准方法进行比对实验,实验证明新方法满足岩石矿物中金的分析要求。

Ultrasensitive determination of cadmium in seawater by hollow fiber supported liquid membrane extraction coupled with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

A new procedure, based on hollow fiber supported liquid membrane preconcentration coupled with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) detection, was developed for the determination of trace Cd in seawater samples. With 1-octanol that contained a mixture of dithizone (carrier) and oleic acid immobilized in the pores of the polypropylene hollow fiber as a liquid membrane, Cd was selectively extracted from water samples into 0.05 M HNO₃ that filled the lumen of the hollow fiber as a stripping solution. The main extraction related parameters were optimized, and the effects of salinity and some coexisting interferants were also evaluated. Under the optimum extraction conditions, an enrichment factor of 387 was obtained for a 100-mL sample solution. In combination with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, a very low detection limit (0.8 ng L^− 1) and a relative standard deviation (2.5% at 50 ng L^− 1 level) were achieved. Five seawater samples were analyzed by the proposed method without dilution, with detected Cd concentration in the range of 56.4–264.8 ng L^− 1 and the relative spiked recoveries over 89%. For comparison, these samples were also analyzed by the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) method after a 10-fold dilution for matrix effect elimination. Statistical analysis with a one-way ANOVA shows no significant differences (at 0.05 level) between the results obtained by the proposed and ICP-MS methods. Additionally, analysis of certified reference materials (GBW (E) 080040) shows good agreement with the certified value. These results indicate that this present method is very sensitive and reliable, and can effectively eliminate complex matrix interferences in seawater samples.     

Determination of cadmium in paint samples by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry with optical temperature control

A graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) method with optical temperature control for the determination of trace cadmium in paint samples is described. Optical temperature control was superior in many respects to current temperature control. The sensibility increased by 60%, the linear range widened by 60%, and the life of graphite tube showed a 200–300% increase because atomization temperature was lowered distinctly and atomization time was shortened. Use of lanthanum chloride as a matrix modifier was investigated. The linear range of calibration curve was 0–24 ng mL⁻¹. The detection limit was 9.6 ng L⁻¹. The characteristic mass was 3.0 pg. The method also resulted in excellent reproducibility (≤2.5% R.S.D.) at such low levels, and the recovery of added cadmium in paint samples was from 94.6% to 102%. This method is readily applicable to the determination of cadmium in paint samples.     

Effectiveness of linearization of calibration curves in Zeeman graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

A theoretical analysis is made of the effect of analytical line broadening and of non-absorbable radiation in the light source on the shape of concentration curves in Zeeman graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. These results have been used in a systematic study of the effect of spectrometer slit width and hollow-cathode lamp (HCL) current on linearization of calibration graphs for 11 elements: Ag, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Sb. The effectiveness of linearization throughout the analytical range covered was estimated experimentally on series of 25–30 solutions. Three solutions in each series were used as standards for constructing the calibration graph, the others serving to evaluate the linearization effectiveness. Increasing the slit width and decreasing the HCL current compared to the standard measurement conditions have permitted us to reach a sufficiently high effectiveness of linearization for all the elements studied, with the exception of Ni. The maximum deviation of experimental points from the linear graph under optimum conditions does not exceed 6%. The effect of the Δ parameter used in the computational algorithm on linearization effectiveness is investigated.

Determination of tellurium at ultra-trace levels in drinking water by on-line solid phase extraction coupled to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer

In this paper, two time-based flow injection (FI) separation pre-concentration systems coupled to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) for tellurium determination are studied and compared. The first alternative involves the pre-concentration of the analyte onto Dowex 1X8 employed as packaging material of a micro-column inserted in the flow system. The second set-up is based on the co-precipitation of tellurium with La(OH)₃ followed by retention onto XAD resins. Both systems are compared in terms of limit of detection, linear range, RSD%, sample throughput, micro-columns lifetime and aptitude for fully automatic operation.     

Determination of trace impurities in aluminum nitride by direct solid sampling graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

The trace impurities Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Sb and Zn were determined in powdered aluminum nitride by direct solid sampling graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry using a ZEEnit 60 atomic absorption spectrometer. This spectrometer features inverse Zeeman-effect background correction and a variable magnetic field enabling measurements in two sensitivity modes over a concentration range of three orders of magnitude. The measurement sensitivity can be adjusted to the analyte concentration in the sample. The use of chemical modifiers was not necessary. Calibration was carried out by means of calibration curves obtained with aqueous standard solutions. Accuracy was checked mainly by comparison of the results with those obtained by instrumental and radiochemical neutron activation analysis whereby, excluding the results for potassium, no significant differences were found by carrying out the t-test at the significance level 0.05. The limits of detection were between 0.05 ng g⁻¹ (Zn) and 80 ng g⁻¹ (Fe) and the relative standard deviations below 11 %. With the proposed method, up to ten measurement cycles can be carried out in one hour.     

Determination of osmium in waste water by graphite furnance atomic absorption spectrometry

The determination of osmium in waste water by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) with a graphite furnace atomiser has been investigated. The atomisation characteristics of osmium on the atomiser were found to result in optimal ashing and atomisation temperatures of 300–500 and 3180 °C, respectively.The characteristic mass (the mass of element giving 0.0044 abs.) of osmium after optimization was found to be 1.6ng, which is better than obtained with flame AAS and ultraviolet/visible (UV) absorption spectrophotometry. The detection limit (s/n = 3) was 3.6ng (or 0.36 (g ml^–1). The relative std. deviation obtained with graphite furnace AAS was 3.0%.The interference caused by large amounts of common cations and anions in waste water were evaluated and thiourea as matrix modifier was shown to be able to eliminate many interferences. The recovery of osmium spiked in waste water was considered almost satisfactory at the 1–50 g ml^–1 range and the results were shown to well agree with the analytical values obtained by UV absorption spectrophotometry.

A new method for the determination of palladium was developed by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction preconcentration and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry detection. In the proposed approach, diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) was used as a chelating agent, and carbon tetrachloride and ethanol were selected as extraction and dispersive solvent. Some factors influencing the extraction efficiency of palladium and its subsequent determination, including extraction and dispersive solvent type and volume, pH of sample solution, concentration of the chelating agent and extraction time, were studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factor of this method for palladium reached at 156. The detection limit for palladium was 2.4 ng L⁻¹ (3σ), and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 4.3% (n = 7, c = 1.0 ng mL⁻¹). The method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amount of palladium in water samples.

Investigation of thallium hydride generation using in situ trapping in graphite tube by atomic absorption spectrometry

Thallium hydride was generated from aqueous solutions by merging sample and sodium tetrahydroborate reductant in a batch system. In situ preconcentration of volatile thallium hydride in a preheated graphite furnace coated with palladium, which was used as both the collection medium and atomizer, greatly improved the sensitivity for the determination of thallium by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry. The presence of tellurium can increase the generation efficiency of thallium hydride. The operating conditions were optimized. The calibration graph is linear up to 100 ng and the characteristic mass for thallium was 0.92 ng which is seventeen times lower than that obtained with the heated quartz tube atomizer.

Determination of lead, copper and manganese by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after separation/concentration using a water-soluble polymer

In this study, a water-soluble polymer, polyvinylpyrrolidinone (PVP) having chelating functionalities was used for the preconcentration and separation of traces of Pb, Cu, Ve and Mn prior to their determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. For this purpose, the sample and the PVP solutions were mixed and the metal bound polymer was precipitated by adding the mixture onto acetone. The precipitate was separated by decantation and dissolved with water. By increasing the ratio of the volumes of sample to water used in dissolving the precipitate, the analyte elements were concentrated as needed. The concentration of trace elements was determined using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The analyte elements in matrix free aqueous solutions were quantitatively recovered. The validity of the proposed method was checked with a standard reference material (NIST SRM 1577b bovine liver) and spiked fruit juice, sea water and mineral water samples. The analytical results were found to be in good agreement with certified and added values. Detection limits (3δ) were 1.7, 3.6 and 4.1 μg l⁻¹ for Pb, Cu and Mn, respectively, using 10 μl of sample volume. The method is novel and can be characterized by rapidity, simplicity, quantitative recovery and high reproducibility.     

Determination of Cd by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry after electrodeposition on a graphite probe modified with palladium

Traces of Cd were determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry after electrochemical preconcentration on a commercial graphite ridge probe modified with Pd. The Pd electrochemically deposited on the probe surface served not only as the modifier but it also protected the graphite surface. Cd was electrodeposited at a controlled potential − 1.2 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode) using the Pd-modified graphite probe as a working electrode. The sensitivity of Cd determination remained unchanged for 300 electrodeposition and atomization cycles. The detection limit (3σ_blank) was improved with increasing time of electrolysis and was 1.2 ng l^− 1 for a 10 min electrolysis time in the presence of 0.1 mol l^− 1 NaNO₃. The procedure was applied for the determination of Cd in (1 + 1) diluted seawater and in (1 + 1) diluted urine samples using the standard addition method.
