Elimination of sulfide interference by sodium hypochlorite solution in the cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric determination of mercury using tin(II) reduction in alkaline medium

An addition of sodium hypochlorite solution effectively eliminated the interference by sulfide in the cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric determination of mercury using tin(II) reduction in alkaline medium. Mercury ranging from 0.01 to 0.5 μg could be determined within ±10% error in 100 mL of sample solution containing 10 mg of sulfide by the addition of 1 mL of 10.4%(w/v) sodium hypochlorite solution. The proposed method is rapid (5 min per determination) and has good reproducibility (3.0%).     

Rapid determination of total mercury in treated waste water by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry in alkaline medium with sodium hypochlorite solution

Addition of a sodium hypochlorite solution (9.2% (w/v)) was effective to reduce a sulfide interference in determination of organic mercury, including methylmercury and phenylmercury, as well as a previously reported determination of inorganic mercury by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS) in an alkaline medium. Total mercury ranging from 0.17 to 33 μg L⁻¹ in 15 mL of sample solutions containing up to 200 mg L⁻¹ of sulfide can be determined without any serious interference by sulfide when 1 mL of the sodium hypochlorite solution was added after dilution of the sample solution to 25 mL. The proposed method was simple and rapid because no digestion processes were required for the determination of total mercury; the time required for the determination was only about 5 min. The proposed method was applicable to the analysis of treated waste water.     

Flow injection chemiluminescence determination of isoniazid with electrogenerated hypochlorite

A flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of isoniazid based on the sensitizing effect of isoniazid on the chemiluminescence generating luminol-hypochlorite reaction is described. The hypochlorite was electrogenerated on-line by constant current electrolysis, thus, eliminating instability of hypochlorite solution prepared from commercially available sodium hypochlorite. The calibration graph is linear in the range 1 × 10^–8 to 1 × 10^–6 g mL^–1, and the detection limit is 6 × 10^–9 g mL^–1. The relative standard deviation for determination of 5 × 10^–8 g mL^–1 is 2.8%. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of isoniazid in pharmaceutical preparations.

Determination of cadmium in Bentonite clay mineral using a carbon paste electrode

Sodium activated Bentonite, a sodium modified Montmorillonite, was submitted to cadmium sorption from nitrate solutions in order to simulate a cadmium polluted clay mineral. The remaining cadmium concentration in solution was analyzed at equilibrium by means of Differential Pulse Polarography (DPP) in order to calculate the cadmium concentration sorbed by the clay. The cadmium distribution between clay mineral and solution was observed for different concentrations, showing a Freundlich sorption profile. The clay mineral, previously submitted to the cadmium sorption procedure, was included in a carbon paste in order to investigate the cadmium content by voltammetric determination. For cadmium detection in Bentonite, a linear response of the carbon paste electrode (CPE) was observed in the 5 · 10^–5– 1.8 · 10^–4 mol/g range with good reproducibility.

Determination of lanthanum and rare earth elements in bovine whole blood reference material by ICP-MS after coprecipitation preconcentration with heme-iron as coprecipitant

An analytical method for the determination of lanthanide elements in the bovine whole blood reference material (IAEA A-13) has been investigated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The bovine whole blood reference material was digested with HNO₃ and HClO₄, and then the pH of the digested solution was adjusted to 12 with 3 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. In this experimental procedure, lanthanide elements in the blood sample were coprecipitated with iron mainly derived from heme-iron in blood itself. In order to minimize matrix effects due to iron, excess iron in the analysis solution was removed by solvent extraction using methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) prior to the determination of lanthanide elements by ICP-MS. The recoveries of all lanthanide elements were almost quantitative in the recovery test. In consequence, it has been found that all lanthanide elements in bovine whole blood reference material are at the wide concentration range of 0.90 pg/g for Tm ∼1880 pg/g for Ce.

Flow injection-solid phase spectrofluorimetric determination of pyridoxine in presence of group B-vitamins

A flow-through optosensor has been prepared for the sensitive and selective determination of pyridoxine (vitamin B₆) in aqueous solutions. The sensor was developed in conjunction with a monochannel flow-injection analysis system with fluorimetric detection using Sephadex SP-C25 resin as an active sorbent substrate. This method of determination is carried out without any derivatization. The wavelengths of excitation and emission were 295 and 385 nm, respectively. When a HCl (10^–3 mol L^–1) / NaCl (3 × 10^–2 mol L^–1) solution is used as carrier solution, the sensor responds linearly in the measuring range of 5–200, 10–400 and 50–1800 ng mL^–1 with detection limits of 0.33, 0.67, and 5.70 ng mL^–1 for 2000, 1000 and 200 μL of sample volume, respectively. The relative standard deviation for ten independent determinations is less than 0.75% for 0.2 and 1.0 mL of sample volumes used, and 1.31% for 2.0 mL of sample volume used. The method was satisfactorily applied to the determination of vitamin B₆ in pharmaceutical preparations. Received: 4 June 1998 / Revised: 16 July 1998 / Accepted: 6 August 1998

Direct determination of nickel traces on modified cellulose by diffuse reflection spectroscopy and using chromaticity characteristics

Diffuse reflection spectroscopy has been used for the direct determination of nickel traces after preconcentration on cellulose (Cel). The experimental parameters (optical characteristics, acidity of aqueous solution, shaking time, volume of aqueous solution, nickel and tartaric ion concentrations, etc.) affecting sorption of nickel species with immobilized dimethylglyoxime (DG) and benzyldioxime (BD) have been optimized. Diffuse reflection coefficient and chromaticity characteristics of the nickel sorbates indicated the same dependence on studied factors, but their sensitivity is different. The linear relations of variations of these quantities with the nickel contents were determined. Detection limits were 0.1 μg/mL and 0.2 μg/mL for BD and DG, respectively. The procedures were used for the analysis of natural and waste waters. Received: 30 July 1998 / Revised: 4 November 1998 / Accepted: 7 November 1998     

Preconcentration and voltammetric determination of palladium (II) at sodium humate modified carbon paste electrodes

A chemically modified carbon paste electrode was prepared by incorporating appropriate amounts of sodium humate(NaA). Palladium(II) was selectively accumulated in a solution of Britton-Robinson(B-R) buffer (pH 2.8) onto the electrode surface in open circuit mode. The subsequent electrochemical measurement was carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep anodic stripping voltammetry (LSASV) in a supporting electrolyte of 1.0 M HCl. The obtained oxidation currents (I_pa1 and L_pa2) were proportional to the Pd(II) concentration in the range of 4.7 × 10^–6 - 9.4 × 10^–8 M. The developed method was applied to the quantitative determination of palladium in real samples. Received: 6 March 1998 / Revised: 3 June 1998 / Accepted: 3 July 1998
