Determination of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb in natural waters, alkali and alkaline earth salts by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry after preconcentration by column solid phase extraction

Methods are described for the determination of trace and ultra trace amounts of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb in natural waters, alkali and alkaline earth salts. Separation and preconcentration of trace metals is achieved by a column solid phase extraction procedure using silica gel modified with derivatives of dithiocarbamates — Na-DDTC (sodium diethyldithio-carbamate and HMDTC (ammonium hexamethylene-dithiocarbamate) as column packing material. The influence of the sorbent preparation procedure on the degree of sorption of the trace analytes is examined for different pH values of the sample solution. Isobutylmethyl ketone (IBMK) is proposed as an effective eluent for quantitative elution of retained metal ions. Optimal instrumental parameters for ETAAS determination of preconcentrated elements in organic eluate are presented. Practical application of sorbents in analysis of natural waters and alkali and alkaline earth salts is demonstrated. Proposed preconcentration procedure combined with ETAAS determination of trace analytes allows the determination of 0.04 g l^–1 Cd, 0.1 g l^–1 Cr, Cu, and Mn and 0.3 g l^–1 Co, Fe, Ni and Pb in natural waters and 1.10^–7% Cd, 3.10^–7% Cr and Mn, 7.10^–7% Co, Ni and Pb and 2.10^–6% Cu and Fe in alkali and alkaline earth salts.     

Direct AAS determination of Co, Cr, Cu, Mn and Ni in U3O8 by electrothermal atomization

Summary An atomic absorption spectrometric method has been developed for the determination of chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese and nickel in U₃O₈ by electrothermal atomization of 5 mg powder samples. Nanogram amounts of all the elements can be estimated with a precision ranging between 7–12%. The non-specific absorption due to U₃O₈ for these measurements is negligible. The use of graphite powder with U₃O₈ in equal or double the sample amount improves sensitivity for the analyte element and prolongs the life of the atomizer.

Determination of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd in niobium by radiochemical proton-activation analysis

A rapid radiochemical proton-activation technique based on the utilization of short-lived indicator radionuclides (t(1/2) = 7-100 min) for the determination of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd in niobium is described. It involves the irradiation of the samples with 13-MeV protons, the post-irradiation decontamination of the sample surface, a rapid sample dissolution, a separation procedure based on anion-exchange from HF medium, and counting the eluate with a high-resolution gamma-spectrometer. In addition, for the determination of Ni, a specific separation procedure is proposed. For a 20-min ir-radiation with a beam intensity of 10 microA and a delay time of 20 min, the limits of detection are 4 ng/g for Cr, 0.5 ng/g for Ni, 60 ng/g for Cu, 0.5 microg/g for Zn and 0.2 microg/g for Cd. For Cr, Ni, and Cu, the results obtained by this technique are compared with data obtained by radiochemical neutron-activation analysis and atomic-absorption spectrometry.

Determination of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in seawater using high resolution magnetic sector inductively coupled mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS)

A novel method, combining isotope dilution with standard additions, was developed for the analysis of eight elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in seawater. The method requires just 12 mL of sample and employs an off-line pre-concentration step using the commercially available chelating resin Toyopearl AF-Chelate-650M prior to determination by high resolution inductively coupled plasma magnetic sector mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Acidified samples were spiked with a multi-element standard of six isotopes (⁵⁷Fe, ⁶²Ni, ⁶⁵Cu, ⁶⁸Zn, ¹¹¹Cd and ²⁰⁷Pb) enriched over natural abundance. In addition, standard additions of a mixed Co and Mn standard were performed on sub-sets of the same sample. All samples were irradiated using a low power (119 mW cm⁻²; 254 nm) UV system, to destroy organic ligands, before pre-concentration and extraction from the seawater matrix. Ammonium acetate was used to raise the pH of the 12 mL sub-samples (off-line) to pH 6.4 ± 0.2 prior to loading onto the chelating resin. The extracted metals were eluted using 1.0 M Q-HNO₃ and determined using ICP-MS. The method was verified through the analysis of certified reference material (NASS-5) and the SAFe inter-comparison samples (S1 and D2), the results of which are in good agreement with the certified and reported consensus values. We also present vertical profiles of the eight metals taken from the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series (BATS) station collected during the GEOTRACES inter-comparison cruise in June 2008.     

Determination of bioavailable fractions of Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb and Cd in soils and sludges by atomic absorption spectrometry

The single extraction procedures validated by the standards, measurement and testing programme (formerly BCR), extraction with 0.05 mol l⁻¹ EDTA and 0.43 mol l⁻¹ acetic acid, have been applied to reference materials of soils and sludges with certified total values of elements, in order to determine bioavailable contents of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. These soils, which represent uncontaminated pedologically different types of soils from Slovakia and sludges from city water treatment are characterized for the bioavailable fraction of the metals using the procedures followed by SM&T Programme. Concentrations of the elements under the study in the extracts were determined by flame (FAAS) using calibration curves in appropriate extractants and by electrothermal (ETAAS) atomic absorption spectrometry, using technique of standard additions for the evaluation of the results. The accuracy of the extraction procedures and determinations of the elements in the extracts was controlled using CRM 483 certified for EDTA- and acetic acid-extractable contents of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in sewage sludge amended soil.

Determination of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni and Pb in Milk, Cheese and Chocolate

 Combined analytical procedures consisting of wet digestion step followed by instrumental determination – differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry (DPCSV) or electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) – as well as a direct analysis method – slurry sampling ETAAS – for the determination of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni and Pb in milk, cheese and chocolate are described and compared. Wet digestion using a mixture of HNO₃-HClO₄-H₂O₂ is proposed for complete matrix decomposition prior to trace analyte determinati on by DPCSV or ETAAS. A mixture of HNO₃-H₂O₂ is used for slurry preparation. Optimal instrumental parameters for trace analyte measurements are presented. The reliability of the procedures has been verified by analyzing standard reference materials. Results obtained are in good agreement with the certified values and the relative standard deviations (for these results) are in the range 5–10% for wet digestion DPCSV or ETAAS and 3–9% for slurry sampling ETAAS in the range of 2 μgċg⁻¹ (Cd) to 12 μgċg⁻¹ (Fe).

Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate in the presence of a weak oxidizing agent is used as a co-precipitative agent for the pre-concentration of Se, Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Cr and Cd.
