The Application of Gibberellic Acid to the Determination of Trace Amounts of Lead by Spectrofluorimetry

The ionization constant of fluorescent reagent gibberellic acid (GA) was established spectrophotometrically. The fluorescent reaction of this reagent with lead was studied. Based on this chelation reaction, a sensitive, direct spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of trace lead with use of GA has been developed. The reaction conditions for the fluorescence system of lead with GA were studied. The lead ion can form a stable binary chelate with GA, having a ratio of 1:2 in the pH range 7.0‐8.0. The maximum excitation and emission wavelengths are 205.0 nm and 308.8 nm for the lead chelate, respectively. The reaction is instantaneous and the fluorescence intensity of the lead chelate remains stable from 20 to 150 min. Under the optimal experimental conditions the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of concentration in the range 1.0‐10.0 ng/mL of lead and the detection limit is 0.52 ng/mL of lead. Interferences of other ions were studied. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of lead in common paint.     

Extractive fluorimetric determination of ultratraces of lead with cryptand 2.2.2 and eosin

A new speetrofluorimetric method for determination of ultratraces of lead is based on solvent extraction into chloroform of the ion-pair formed between the positively-charged cryptate of lead with cryptand 2.2.2 and the eosinate anion. The detection limit for lead is 1 ng ml , and the linear working range is from the detection limit to 250 ng ml . The relative standard deviation is 3.7% at the 100 ng ml level. The method is highly selective for the extraction and determination of lead in the presence of other cations, and has been tested for direct determination of lead contamination in soft drinks. Aggregation of the extracted ion-pair in the organic phase has been demonstrated in fundamental extraction studies.     

铅及铅锑合金阳极膜中硫酸铅的氧化过程

应用电位阶跃和交流阻抗法分别研究铅和Pb-5wt% Sb合金在4.5mol·dm^-^3H~2SO~4(30℃)中于1.3V(vs. Hg/Hg~2SO~4, 下同)生长20min后的阳极膜在0.9V还原5min后再在1.4V将膜中硫酸铅氧化的过程。实验结果表明在0.9V还原二氧化铅而得到的硫酸铅能在1.4V于1min内氧化为二氧化铅。这是由于此种硫酸铅处于硫酸铅颗粒表层的缘故。至于颗粒内部由铅直接生成的硫酸铅的氧化为二氧化铅就要缓慢得多。合金中的锑能使二氧化铅晶核形成和生长速率显著降低。     

A Study on the Suitability of Carbon Disk Microelectrodes for Trace Analysis of Lead and Copper by ASV

The performance of carbon microdisk electrodes for the simultaneous trace analysis of lead and copper by anodic stripping voltammetry is investigated. The evaluation of the two metal ions in a single step, i.e., by employing a plating potential at which both cations are reduced simultaneously, gives unpredictable results due to the interaction between lead and copper deposited onto the electrode surface. In particular, the calibration plots of lead are not linear, while the copper stripping peak is quite broad and irreproducible. A two-steps deposition procedure, based on a preelectrolysis of copper performed at a potential at which lead ion is not reduced, followed by a simultaneous reduction of the two cations at large enough negative potentials, provides, instead, linear calibration graphs for lead. Copper can be determined without interference by plating the metal at a negative potential where lead ion is not reduced. The reliability of the two-steps procedure for the determination of lead and copper is verified in rain and wine samples.     

Separation of lead sulphate from barium sulphate in their determination in glass

The conventional method for separation of lead from a combined lead and barium sulphate precipitate by extraction with ammonium acetate has been critically studied. The results show that quantitative separation of lead is possible only when the molar concentration ratio of barium to lead is 4.2 or above, but at ratios below 4.2 the method fails because of the formation of a solid solution of lead and barium sulphates which is maximal at initial mole-ratio 0.42. The lead in the solid solution, however, forms a strong soluble complex with EDTA and can be quantitatively separated. Based on this, a gravimetric method has been worked out for determination of lead and barium in glass.     

Stability of Lead(II) Arsenates

 Predictions of lead arsenate solubility and thermodynamic stability have been based on the value of the solubility constant for a precipitate with the general composition Pb₃(AsO₄)₂. The solubility of this precipitate is high and lead arsenate is considered to be unsuitable for lead and arsenic control in the environment. Standard Gibbs energy of formation for bayldonite, duftite, mimetite, philipsbornite, and schultenite can be found in the literature from solubility studies. From these data, stability diagrams were established for the environmentally relevant lead containing solid phases – anglesite, cerussite, schultenite, and mimetite. The diagrams lead to the conclusion that mimetite is a lead arsenate that can be used for remediation techniques.     

Analysis of tellurides of lead and tin by automatic titrations

An analytical method based on automatic potentiometric EDTA and redox titrations was developed for the analysis of tellurides of lead and tin.First, the sum of lead and tin is titrated at pH 4.5 by adding a known excess of EDTA and back-titrating with a standard lead solution. After addition of ammonium fluoride to mask the tin, the EDTA released from the Sn-EDTA complex is titrated with standard lead solution. Alternatively, after the determination of total lead and tin, lead may be determined by back-titration with standard lead on a separate sample aliquot using tartaric acid to mask the tin. Tellurium is separated as tellurous acid, which is then dissolved in a dilute sulfuric acid solution and oxidized by permanganate at room temperature; the excess permanganate is back-titrated with iron(II) solution automatically. This titration may also be used to determine tellurium in the presence of lead and tin after treatment with perchloric acid. Accuracies of 0.1-0.2% can be obtained.     

Determination of stable lead isotope ratios in environmental samples: Combination of microwave digestion and ICP-MS

Microwave digestion was applied as pretreatment of environmental samples for the determination of lead isotope ratios by ICP-MS. Microwave digestion decomposed the samples easily and rapidly without lead contamination. The lead isotope ratios could be measured directly by ICP-MS without tedious lead purification, because the influence of the matrix elements on measurements of lead isotope ratios is small enough to be ignored.     

The impact of lead pollution on the environment of Rabat-Sale' (Morocco)

There are numerous possible vectors of industrial lead poisoning in unprotected work environments and the areas surrounding industrial sites. In the Rabat-Salé region, ceramics is the industry which uses most lead. Galena (PbS) is used in the fabrication of some types of pottery, and other lead-based compounds are used as glaze. A second source of lead pollution is the production of some fuels, in which lead is used as an anti detonator. In order to evaluate the impact of lead contamination on the environment, our investigation is focused on the lead concentration in the atmosphere, soil and vegetation at five stations in the Rabat-Salé region. We found concentrations of lead higher than those published for any other country in the atmosphere and vegetation near the ceramics factories of Rabat-Salé. These concentrations decreased significantly as we moved away from urban areas.     

Sonoelectrochemistry in Acoustically Emulsified Media: The Detection of Lead

The double extraction of target lead ions which are then voltammetrically quantified via acoustically assisted anodic stripping voltammetry is demonstrated. The technique involves first the extraction of lead from the aqueous volume into an organic phase containing the ligand dithizone (diphenylthiocarbazone). Second, the chelated lead is then stripped into a clean electrochemically clean aqueous solution where the lead from the original solution can be quantified. This method is shown to be applicable in electrochemically fouling media, providing a high sensitivity with a limit of detection for lead in the order of 10^?7 mol dm^?3. A theoretical extraction model is presented for the optimal conditions of extraction. The technique is applied to the analysis of lead in wine samples offering quantitative data, which is in good agreement with those obtained from an independent technique (AAS).     

The electrical conductance of some molten car☐ylate mixtures

Data are presented for the electrical conductivities in the melt for lead(II) octadecanoate/lead(II) decanoate, lead(II) hexadecanoate/lead(II) decanoate, lead(II) hexadecanoate/zinc hexadecanoate and lead(II) hexadecanoate/cadmium hexadecanoate mixtures over their complete composition ranges. The electrical conductivities are measured as a function of temperature from just above the melting point to just below the decomposition point of the mixtures. The Arrhenius plots for the mixtures are linear in all cases and the activation energies are determined. While the activation energies for lead(II) octadecanoate/lead(II) decanoate and lead(II) hexadecanoate/lead(II) decanoate mixtures are mole fraction independent over the concentration range studied, rendering support to previous models advanced by other workers that the major charge carrier is the free metal cation, the other systems show no such simple behaviour. In these systems there are indications of deviations from ideal behaviour, suggesting that entropy and enthalpy of mixing might be important.

Complex citrates of metals in Inorganic Analysis : Some preliminary observations and the application of citrate complex formation in the qualitative analysis of the metallic ions of the Silver group

The use of sodium citrate as a reagent for the separation of silver group metals has been described. Silver, lead and mercurous ions are all capable of forming soluble citrate complexes, but they differ in their stability. The lead complex is not decomposed by soluble chlorides, whereas silver and mercurous complexes yield the insoluble chlorides. The fact that lead sulphate is soluble in a hot solution of sodium citrate has been utilized for the detection of lead, when present as insoluble sulphate, in a mixture.

发铅与血铅的相关关系

头发中的铅除直接来源于血液外,体内和环境中的铅还通过纵向和横向多种通道渗入到头发结构中,头发和血液的铅动力学行为也不相同。发铅和血铅之间存在复杂的相关关系,铅摄入量的重大变化可削弱两者的关联强度,高铅暴露则加强两者的关联强度。骨铅的动员和释放,以及发样采集或预处理不当,均可使血铅或发铅值偏离真实,导致两者关联的不确定。血铅是近期铅暴露的量度指标,发铅可给出从前铅暴露或铅负荷的信息,后者更适合于人群铅中毒筛查或监测。
