The method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amounts of Ag in water samples.     

Preconcentration by coprecipitation of arsenic and tin in natural waters with a Ni-pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate complex and their direct determination by solid-sampling atomic-absorption spectrometry

A method for the determination of trace amounts of arsenic and tin in natural waters is described. Trace amounts of arsenic and tin were preconcentrated by coprecipitation with a Ni-ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) complex. The coprecipitates obtained were directly analyzed by graphite-furnace atomic-absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) using the Ni-APDC complex solid-sampling technique. The coprecipitation conditions used for the trace amounts of arsenic and tin in natural water were investigated in detail. It was found that arsenic and tin at sub-ng mL(-1) levels were both coprecipitated quantitatively by Ni(PDC)2 in the pH range 2-3. The concentration factors by coprecipitation reached approximately 40,000 when 2 mg nickel was added as a carrier element to 500 mL of the water sample. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of trace amounts of arsenic and tin in river water and seawater reference materials, and the detection limits for arsenic and tin, which were calculated from three times of the standard deviation of the procedural blanks, are 0.02 ng mL(-1) and 0.04 ng mL(-1), respectively, for 500-mL volumes of water sample.

Spectrophotometric determination of trace water in organic solvents with a near infrared absorbing dye

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace water in organic solvents using a near infrared absorbing dye has been developed. This method is based on the effect that a minor change in polarity of the solvent caused by trace water content determines the extent of aggregation of a near-infrared dye monomer. This change can be detected spectrophotometrically. The calibration curves for methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol were determined. This method has the highest sensitivity (em = 16.73 unit) for water in isopropanol and the lowest sensitivity (em = 2.806 unit) for water in methanol. The correlation coefficient (R)(2) values for the regression lines ranges from 0.990-0.998. The linear range of the method for ethanol is 0.001-0.5%, for isopropanol is 0.001-0.1%, and for methanol is 0.001-1.0%. The limit of detection for ethanol, isopropanol, and methanol are 0.0001, 0.0001, and 0.005% water, respectively. The developed method is sensitive, simple and easy to operate, and the cost of analysis is low.

H-point standard addition method--first derivative spectrophotometry for simultaneous determination of palladium and cobalt

H-point standard addition method (HPSAM) has been applied for simultaneous determination of palladium and cobalt in trace levels, using disodium 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3, 6-disulphonate (nitroso-R salt) as a selective chromogenic reagent. Palladium and cobalt in the neutral pHs form red color complexes with nitroso-R in aqueous solutions and making spectrophotometric monitoring possible. Simultaneous determination of palladium and cobalt were performed by HPSAM--first derivative spectrophotometry. First derivative signals at the two pairs of wavelengths, 523 and 589 nm or 513 and 554 nm were monitored with the addition of standard solutions of palladium or cobalt, respectively. The method is able to accurately determine palladium/cobalt ratio 1:10 to 15:1 (wt/wt). Accuracy and reproducibility of the determination method on the various amounts of palladium and cobalt known were evaluated in their binary mixtures. To investigate selectivity of the method and to ensure that no serious interferences were observed the effects of diverse ions on the determination of palladium and cobalt were also studied. The recommended procedure was successfully applied to real and synthetic cobalt or palladium alloys, B-complex ampoules, a palladium-charcoal mixture and real water matrices.

Determination of trace elements and radioactive materials by substoichiometric isotope dilution analysis

Substoichiometric isotope dilution analysis has been applied for the determination of trace elements in liquid samples, of carrier content in radioisotope solution and of concentration of organic reagent. Cu in mineral acids and in ZnSe single crystal was determined by the substoichiometric extraction with dithizone. The values of 1.8 and 0.018 ppm in nitric acid and distilled one and of 1.4 and 0.44 ppm in ZnSe were obtained. Cu and P carrier contents in⁶⁴Cu and³²P solutions were determined by the substoichiometric extractions with dithizone in CCl₄ and with molybdic acid into MIBK in the series of the solutions adding various amounts of Cu or P carrier. An analogous method has been applied for the determination of dithizone and diethyldithiocarbamate solutions. The method was also applied for the determination of⁶⁰Co radioactivity in environmental samples. The analytical result of water samples is described.     

On the mechanism of extraction of trivalent actinides and lanthanides with alkylamine hydrochlorides

The method to study the mechanism of actinides (III) and lanthanides (III) liquid-liquid amine extraction from chloride media has been suggested. The technique is based on the determination of distribution coefficients for extraction of these elements from mixed salting-out agent solutions with common anion. Distribution coefficients were found to be independent of mean ion activity of lithium cation at constant water activity, when extraction of trace amounts of Eu (III) and Cm(III) by tri-n-octylammonium hydrochloride from mixed LiCl−CaCl₂ solutions occurred. It has been concluded that lithium cation does not enter into the complexed extracted.     

Determination of trace metallic impurities in high-purity quartz by ion chromatography

A method has been developed for the determination of relevant trace impurities (alkali, alkaline and transition metals) in high purity quartz by ion-chromatography. In situ reagent (HF) purification and simultaneous sample dissolution was achieved in a multichannel vapour phase digestion assembly. Twenty-one samples can be digested at a time in this vapour phase system. Significant decrease in the process blank levels for all the analytes was observed. Drastic reduction (250 times) of NH4+ blank was achieved in the described vapour phase digestion, which enables the determination of trace concentration of sodium in high purity quartz. After volatilisation of the matrix and unreacted HF, the clear water leached solutions were injected into an ion-chromatograph equipped with conductivity detector for the determination of alkali and alkaline earth metals. In the case of transition metals, the trace residues were leached with 10 mM HCl and after separation on a mixed bed analytical column (IonPac CS5) were detected by spectrophotometry after post column derivatisation using 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR). The accuracy of the result was checked by their comparison with those obtained by independent methods like inductively coupled plasma (ICP) MS and ICP atomic emission spectrometry. The achievable detection limits are between 0.4 ng/g (Li) and 22 ng/g (Mn). The application of the method to the determination of the above trace metals in two high-purity-grade quartz samples is demonstrated.     

Application of counter-current chromatography as a new pretreatment method for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental water

Counter‐current chromatography (CCC) was investigated as a new sample pretreatment method for the determination of trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water environmental samples. The experiment was performed with a non‐aqueous binary two‐phase solvent system composed of n‐heptane and acetonitrile. The CCC column was first filled with the upper stationary phase, and then a large volume of water sample was pumped into the column while the CCC column was rotated at 1600 rpm. Finally, the trace amounts of PAHs extracted and enriched in the stationary phase were eluted out by the lower mobile phase and determined by gas chromatography–flame ionization detector (GC‐FID) or gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The enrichment and cleanup of PAHs can be fulfilled online by this method with high recoveries (84.1–103.2%) and good reproducibility (RSDs: 4.9–12.2%) for 16 EPA PAHs under the optimized CCC pretreatment conditions. This method has been successfully applied to determine PAHs in lake water where 8 PAHs were detected in the concentration of 40.9–89.9 ng/L. The present method is extremely suitable for the preparation of large volume of environmental water sample for the determination of trace amounts of organic pollutants including PAHs as studied in this paper.
