A new method for the simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, and mercury ions as metal tetra-(4-chlorophenyl)-porphyrin (T₄CPP) chelates was developed using reversed-phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and combined with on-line enrichment technique. When the Hg-T₄CPP, Pb-T₄CPP, and Cd-T₄CPP chelates were injected into the injector and sent to the enrichment column with 0.05 mol/L of pH = 10 pyrrolidine-acetic acid buffer solutions (containing 10% of THF) as mobile phase, they were absorbed onto the tip of the enrichment column. By switching the six ports switching valve, the retained chelates can be back-flushed by mobile phase and travel towards the analytical column. With 0.05 mol/L of pH = 10 pyrrolidine-acetic acid buffer solution (containing 10% of THF) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) (containing 0.05 mol/L pH = 10.0 pyrrolidine-acetic acid buffer salt) gradient elution as mobile phase, the separation of chelates on the analytical column was satisfactory. The linearity ranges are 0.01 ± 120 g/L for each metal chelate. The detection limits (S/N = 3) of lead, cadmium, and mercury are 2.0, 1.5, and 2.0 ng/L, respectively. This method was applied to the determination of the g/L level of lead, cadmium, and mercury ions in a water sample with good results.     

Simultaneous determination of four heavy metal ions in tobacco and tobacco additive by online enrichment followed by RP-HPLC and microwave digestion

A new method for the simultaneous determination of tin, lead, cadmium, and mercury in tobacco and tobacco additive by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography combined with microwave digestion and an online enrichment technique is developed. The tin, lead, cadmium, and mercury ions are precolumn derivatized with tetra-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-porphyrin (T(4)-DMAPP) to form color chelates.

In this paper, a new method for the simultaneous determination of palladium and platinum ions was developed using a rapid column high performance liquid chromatograph equipped with an on‐line enrichment technique. The palladium and platinum ions were pre‐column derivatized with 5‐(p‐aminobenzylidene)‐thiorhodanine (ABTR) to form colored chelates. The Pd‐ABTR, Pt‐ABTR chelates can be absorbed onto the front of an enrichment column when they were injected into the injector and sent to the enrichment column [ZORBAX Stable Bound, 4.6 × 10 mm, 1.8 μm] with a buffer solution of 0.05 mol/L sodium acetate‐acetic acid buffer solution (pH 3.5) as mobile phase. After the enrichment had finished, by switching the six‐ports switching valve, the retained chelates were back‐flushed by mobile phase and traveled towards the analytical column. These chelates separation on the analytical column [ZORBAX Stable Bound, 4.6 × 50 mm, 1.8 μm] was satisfactory with 65% methanol (containing 0.05 mol/L of pH 3.5 sodium acetate‐acetic acid buffer salt and 0.01 mol/L of tritonX‐100) as mobile phase.

In this paper, a new method for the simultaneous determination of palladium, platinum and rhodium ions was developed using a rapid column high performance liquid chromatography equipped with on-line enrichment technique. The palladium, platinum and rhodium ions were pre-column derivatized with DHAR to form colored chelates. The Pb-DHAR, Pt-DHAR and Rh-DHAR chelates could be absorbed onto the front of the enrichment column when they were injected into the injector and sent to the enrichment column [ZORBAX Stable Bound, 4.6 x 10 mm, 1.8 microm] with a 0.05 mol L(-1) of phosphoric acid solution as mobile phase. After enrichment, and by switching the six ports switching valve, the retained chelates were back-flushed by mobile phase and traveling towards the analytical column. The separation of these chelates on the analytical column [ZORBAX Stable Bound, 4.6 x 50 mm, 1.8 microm] was satisfactory with 54% acetonitrile (containing 0.05 mol L(-1) of phosphoric acid and 0.1% of tritonX-100) as mobile phase. Palladium, platinum and rhodium were separated completely within 2 min. By on-line enrichment technique, the enrichment factor of 100 was achieved, and the detection limits (S/N = 3) of palladium, platinum and rhodium reaches 1.4 ng L(-1), 1.6 ng L(-1) and 2.0 ng L(-1), respectively.

Simultaneous determination of palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold by on-line solid phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography with 5-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenylazo)thiorhodanine as pre-column derivatization regents

In this paper, 5-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenylazo)thiorhodanine (HNATR) was synthesized. A new method for the simultaneous determination of palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold ions as metal-HNATR chelates was developed using a rapid analysis column high performance liquid chromatography equipped with on-line solid phase extraction technique. The samples (Water, human urine, geological samples and soil) were digested by microwave acid-digestion. The palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold ions in the digested samples were pre-column derivatized with HNATR to form colored chelates. The Pd-HNATR, Pt-HNATR, Rh-HNATR and Au-HNATR chelates can be absorbed onto the front of the enrichment column when they were injected into the injector and sent to the enrichment column [Zorbax Stable Bound, 10 mm x 4.6 mm, 1.8 microm] with a buffer solution of 0.05 mol L(-1) phosphoric acid as mobile phase. After the enrichment had finished, by switching the six ports switching valve, the retained chelates were back-flushed by mobile phase and travelling towards the analytical column. These chelates separation on the analytical column [Zorbax Stable Bound, 10 mm x 4.6 mm, 1.8 microm] was satisfactory with 72% acetonitrile (containing 0.05 mol L(-1) of phosphoric acid and 0.1% of Triton X-100) as mobile phase. The palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold chelates were separated completely within 2.5 min. Compared to the routine chromatographic method, more then 80% of separation time was shortened. By on-line solid phase extraction system, a large volume of sample (10 mL) can be injected, and the sensitivity of the method was greatly improved. The detection limits (S/N=3, the sample injection volume is 10 mL) of palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold in the original samples reaches 1.4, 1.8, 2.0 and 1.2 ng L(-1), respectively. The relative standard deviations for five replicate samples were 2.4-3.6%. The standard recoveries were 88-95%. This method was applied to the determination of palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold in human urine, water and geological samples with good results.     

Quantitative analysis of manganese, chromium and molybdenum by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with pre-column derivatization and UV-visible detection.

An ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method with UV-visible spectrophotometric detection is proposed for the simultaneous determination of manganese, chromium and molybdenum. By using a C18-bonded silica column, 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) chelates of Mn(II), Cr(VI) and Mo(VI) were successfully separated and accurately determined at 480 nm. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) was used as the ion-pair reagent. Effects of pH, the buffer system, the concentration of buffer, the color developing time, the concentration of chelating reagent and the ion-pair reagent on the resolution were investigated. PAR chelates were eluted within 20 min at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml min(-1) with a methanol aqueous mobile phase, CH3OH-water (20:80, v/v), containing 1.0 x 10(-3) mol l(-1) acetate buffer (pH 6.5), 1.8 x 10(-2) mol l(-1) TBAB and 2.0 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) PAR. The feasibility of the proposed method was verified with the standard reference materials of nickel-based alloys. The nickel-based alloys were analyzed chromatographically after ammonium pretreatment. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limits for the chelates of Mn(II), Cr(VI) and Mo(VI) were 0.31, 4.2 and 4.6 ng with 100 microl injection, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed chromatographic method was verified by good agreement between the values obtained by this method and certified values.     

Chemometric study of selected polychlorinated biphenyls in ambient air of Madrid (Spain)

The formation of Fe(III) and Fe(II) chelates with pyridylazo and thiazolylazo reagents was examined. Optimum conditions for the formation of Fe(III) and Fe(II) chelates with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) were in detail evaluated. The LC method for simultaneous separation of Fe(III) and Fe(II) ions as 5-Br-PADAP chelates was evaluated using the PEEK column with C18 e.c. stationary phase and acetonitrile+water (90:10, v/v) eluent containing the 1x10(-3) mol l(-1) C(12)H(25)SO(3)Na, the ion-pairing reagent, pH 3.4-3.6. The simultaneous determination of 20-500 mug l(-1) Fe(II) ions (detection at 555 nm) and 20-500 mug l(-1) Fe(III) ions (detection at 585 nm) as 5-Br-PADAP chelates (for both ions, detection limit, 18 mug l(-1) for 20 mul loop) was established. The chromatographic method was applied to the water analysis. Although the present method is able to determine both Fe(III) and Fe(II) ions, the Fe(III) ion was not detected in all water samples. The Fe(II) was detected only in fresh gathered oligocene water at the level of 135 mug l(-1). The present method was used to the investigation of the distribution of Fe(III)/Fe(II) ions in aqueous and micellar solutions after action of external, ultrasonic field.

The tetraphenylporphyrin chelates of iron, cobalt, manganese, nickel, zinc, copper, rhodium lead, cadmium and mercury were prepared and their chromatographic behaviour investigated using four different adsorbents and eleven different solvent systems.

Reversed-phase ion-pair partition liquid chromatography of chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-ethyl-N-(3-sulphopropyl) amino] phenol and analogues

The ion-pair reversed-phase chromatography of some transition metal chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-ethyl-N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol (3,5-diBr-PAESPAP) was studied. 3,5-DiBr-PAESPAP and its V(V), Cr(III), Fe(II), Co(III) and Ni(II) chelates were retained on and the copper (II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) chelates dissociated in an ODS column using acetonitrile/water (37+63, v/v) (pH 7.0) containing 0.01 M acetate, 0.01 M 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulphonate buffer (pH 7.0) and 0.05 M Na⁺ as mobile phase. The chromatograms of 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP chelates were compared with those of the chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo- 2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol (3,5-diBr-PASPAP),2-(5-bromo-2- pyridylazo)-5-[N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-propyl-N- (3-sulphopropyl)amino] phenol. With 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP the Fe(II) and Ni(II) chelates were not resolved, but resolution was achieved with 3,5-diBr-PASPAP. The calibration graphs were linear over the ranges 2.0–10.0 ng (10-μl injection) of Fe, Ni and Co and for 20–100 ng (10-μl injection) for V with 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP and 3,5-diBr-PASPAP.
