A method for the determination of cadmium in slurries of marine sediment using palladium and phosphate as chemical modifier has been optimized. To stabilize the marine sediment slurry, Triton X-100 at 0.1% was used. To obtain a complete pyrolysis of the slurry sample two mineralization steps were used, the first at 480 °C and the second at 600 °C and 700 °C for phosphate and palladium, respectively. The precision and accuracy of the method have been studied by analyzing the Reference Material PACS-1 (marine sediment) of National Research Council Canada. The detection limits (LOD) were 11.9 g kg^–1 for phosphate and 42.0 g kg^–1 when palladium was used. These methods have been applied to the determination of cadmium in marine sediment samples from the Galicia coast and the results of both methods were compared; no significant differences were found between the two procedures.

Single drop microextraction combined with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry is introduced for the determination of trace lead in water samples. A drop of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) dissolved in benzene was held at the tip of a microsyringe and immerged into the sample solution which was stirred, the solvent drop interacts with the sample solution, and the analyte was extracted into the drop and concentrated.

Several factors affecting the extraction efficiency, such as pH of sample solution, drop volume, stirring rate and extraction time, were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, an enhancement factor of 16 was achieved, and the detection limits for Pb were 25 ng L⁻¹. The relative standard deviation for seven replicate determination of 10 ng mL⁻¹ Pb was 6.1%. The method was applied to determine trace Pb in biological samples with satisfactory results.

Ultrasonic assisted deep eutectic solvent liquid–liquid microextraction using azadipyrromethene dye as complexing agent for assessment of chromium species in environmental samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A novel type of solvent named deep eutectic solvent (DES) has been considered as a green ionic liquid analogue. A novel method was developed for enrichment and speciation of chromium ion from water and food samples based on deep eutectic solvent and ultrasonic extraction. The procedure for this method was comprised of Cr(III) complex formation with a hydrophobic complexing agent (Z)‐N‐(3,5‐diphenyl‐1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐3,5‐diphenyl‐2H‐pyrrol‐2‐imine (azadipyrromethene dye). Metal complex was entrapped in a deep eutectic solvent as an extracting solvent. While Cr(III) recovery was quantitative, the recovery of Cr(VI) was found 5%. After reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), the method was applied for determination of total chromium(III) ion. The amount of Cr(VI) was calculated as subtracting of Cr(III) from total chromium ion. Various analytical parameters were optimized. The certified reference materials were analyzed and standard addition method also carried out to real samples to check the accuracy of the developed method. Preconcentration factor was found to be 50. The limit of detection of chromium(III) was found to be 4.3 ng l^‐1. The precision of developed method as the relative standard deviation (RSD) was found as 3.5 %. The developed method was applied successfully for the speciation of chromium ions in water and food samples.     

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of cadmium in environmental samples with niobium wire preconcentration method

A preconcentration method by adsorption of cadmium on a niobium wire was developed for the environmental waters, followed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with a tungsten tube atomizer. After the preconcentration, the niobium wire was directly inserted into the tungsten tube atomizer. In the preconcentration (adsorption) process of cadmium, the optimal immersing time was 60?s. The effects of large amounts of concomitants on the preconcentration of cadmium were evaluated. When 10³–10⁴ fold excess of matrix elements existed in aqueous solution at pH 4 and 9, the cadmium response was profoundly affected by the matrix elements. However, the cadmium absorption signal was not significantly influenced at pH 7. Therefore, pH 7 was selected for the application into the real environmental samples. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit (3S/N) for cadmium by the niobium wire preconcentration method was 7.0?pg?mL^?1 and the relative standard deviation was 6.8%. The method with preconcentration on a niobium wire was applied to the determination of cadmium in water and proved to be sensitive, simple and convenient. Because this preconcentration method can be utilized in the in situ treatment of trace cadmium in environmental water samples, it was unnecessary to carry the water samples to the analytical work place. The technique was shown to be useful for the determination of cadmium in environmental water samples at 0.1–1?µg?L^?1 levels.     

Temperature-controlled ionic liquid-liquid-phase microextraction for the pre-concentration of lead from environmental samples prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry

Hydrophobic ionic liquid could be dispersed into infinite droplets under driving of high temperature, and then they can aggregate as big droplets at low temperature. Based on this phenomenon a new liquid-phase microextraction for the pre-concentration of lead was developed. In this experiment, lead was transferred into its complex using dithizone as chelating agent, and then entered into the infinite ionic liquid drops at high temperature. After cooled with ice-water bath and centrifuged, lead complex was enriched in the ionic liquid droplets. Important parameters affected the extraction efficiency had been investigated including the pH of working solution, amount of chelating agent, volume of ionic liquid, extraction time, centrifugation time, and temperature, etc. The results showed that the usually coexisting ions containing in water samples had no obvious negative effect on the recovery of lead. The experimental results indicated that the proposed method had a good linearity (R = 0.9951) from 10 ng mL⁻¹ to 200 ng mL⁻¹. The precision was 4.4% (RSD, n = 6) and the detection limit was 9.5 ng mL⁻¹. This novel method was validated by determination of lead in four real environmental samples for the applicability and the results showed that the proposed method was excellent for the future use and the recoveries were in the range of 94.8-104.1%.     

Solvent bar microextraction combined with electrothermal vaporization inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for the speciation of inorganic arsenic in water samples

A new method of solvent bar microextraction (SBME) combined with electrothermal vaporization inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ETV-ICP-MS) for the speciation of As(III) and As(V) in water samples was developed. The method is based on the chelation of As(III) and ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) under the selected conditions, and the As(III)-PDC complex could be extracted into the organic phase, while As(V) remained in aqueous solution. The post-extraction organic phase was directly injected into ETV-ICP-MS for determination of As(III) with the use of iridium as permanent chemical modifier. As(V) was reduced to As(III) by L-cysteine and was then subjected to SBME prior to total As determination. The assay of As(V) was based on subtracting As(III) from total As. The factors affecting on the SBME, such as organic solvent, sample pH, chelating reagent concentration, stirring rate and extraction time, and chemical modification of iridium in ETV-ICP-MS have been studied. Under the optimized conditions, the enrichment factor of 220-fold could be achieved in 15 min extraction, the limit of detection (LOD) for As(III) was 0.32 pg mL^− 1, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 8.8% (0.1 ng mL^− 1, n = 9). Compared with hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME), SBME has a higher enrichment factor and faster extraction kinetics. In order to validate the accuracy of the method, a Certified Reference Material of GSBZ50004-88 (No. 200420) water sample was analyzed and the results obtained were in good agreement with the certified values. The developed method was also applied to the speciation of inorganic As in environmental waters with satisfactory results.     

Hollow fiber based liquid-phase microextraction for the determination of mercury traces in water samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A three-phase liquid microextraction procedure for the determination of mercury at low concentrations is discussed. To the aqueous sample placed at pH 7 by means of a phosphate buffer, 0.002% (m/v) 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) is incorporated, and the mixture submitted to microextraction with a hollow-fiber impregnated with toluene and whose lumen contains a 0.05 mol L⁻¹ ammonium iodide solution. The final measurement of the extract is carried out by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (300 °C and 1100 °C for the calcination and atomization temperatures, respectively). The pyrolytic graphite atomizer is coated electrolytically with palladium. An enrichment factor of 270, which results in a 0.06 μg L⁻¹ mercury for the detection limit is obtained. The relative standard deviation at the 1 μg L⁻¹ mercury level is 3.2% (n = 5). The reliability of the procedure is verified by analyzing waters as well as six certified reference materials.     

Displacement-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction coupled with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry for the selective determination of trace silver in environmental and geological samples

A novel displacement-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method was developed for the selective determination of trace silver in complicated samples by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. This method involves two steps of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME). Firstly, copper ion reacted with diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) to form Cu-DDTC complex and extracted with DLLME procedure using carbon tetrachloride (extraction solvent) and methanol (dispersive solvent); then, the sedimented phase was dispersed into the sample solution containing silver ion with methanol and another DLLME procedure was carried out. Because the stability of Ag-DDTC is larger than that of Cu-DDTC, Ag⁺ can displace Cu²⁺ from the pre-extracted Cu-DDTC and thus the preconcentration of Ag⁺ was achieved. Potential interference from co-existing transition metal ions with lower DDTC complex stability was largely eliminated as they cannot displace Cu²⁺ from Cu-DDTC complex. The tolerance limits for the co-existing ions were increased by a long way compared with conventional DLLME. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection was 20 ng L⁻¹ (3σ) for silver with a sample volume of 5.0 mL, and an enhancement factor of 72 was achieved. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine of trace silver in some environmental and geological samples with satisfactory results.

The developed method has been applied successfully to the determination of Sb(III) and total Sb in natural water samples.     

Determination of cadmium, chromium and lead in marine sediment slurry samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry using permanent modifiers

A procedure for the determination of cadmium, chromium, and lead in marine sediment slurries by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry is proposed. Slurry was prepared by mixing 10 mg of ground sample with particle size smaller than 50 μm completed to the weight of 1.0 g with a 3% nitric acid and 10% hydrogen peroxide solution. The slurry was maintained homogeneous with an aquarium air pump. For cadmium, the best results were obtained using iridium permanent with optimum pyrolysis and atomization temperatures of 400 and 1300 °C, respectively, a characteristic mass, m_o (1% absorption), of 2.3 pg (recommended 1 pg). Without modifier use, zirconium, ruthenium, and rhodium m_o were 3.4, 4.1, 4.6, and 4.8 pg, respectively. For chromium, the most sensitive condition was obtained with zirconium permanent with optimum pyrolysis and atomization temperatures of 1500 and 2500 °C, m_o of 6.6 pg (recommended 5.5 pg); and without modifier use, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium m_o were 5.3, 8.8, 8.8, and 8.9 pg, respectively. For lead, the best modifier was also zirconium, m_o of 8.3 pg for the optimum pyrolysis and atomization temperatures of 600 and 1400 °C, respectively, (recommended m_o of 9.0 pg). For iridium, ruthenium, without modifier, and rhodium, m_o were 14.7, 15.5, 16.5, and 16.5 pg, respectively. For all the modifiers selected in each case, the peaks were symmetrical with r² higher than 0.99. Being analyzed (n = 10), two marine sediment reference materials (PACS-2 and MESS-2 from NRCC), the determined values, μg l⁻¹, and certified values in brackets, were 2.17 ± 0.05 (2.11 ± 0.15) and 0.25 ± 0.03 (0.24 ± 0.01) for cadmium in PACS-2 and MESS-2, respectively. For chromium in PACS-2 and MESS-2 the values were 94.7 ± 5.6 (90.7 ± 4.6) and 102.3 ± 10.7 (106 ± 8), respectively. Finally, for lead in PACS-2 and MESS-2, the results obtained were 184 ± 7 (183 ± 8) and of 25.2 ± 0.40 (21.9 ± 1.2), respectively. For cadmium and lead in both samples and chromium in PACS-2, calibration was accomplished with aqueous calibration curves. For chromium in MESS-2, only with the standard addition technique results were in agreement with the certified ones. The limits of detection (k = 3, n = 10) obtained with the diluents were 0.1, 3.4, and 3.6 μg l⁻¹ for cadmium, chromium, and lead, respectively.

A direct determination of cadmium by electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry with a molybdenum tube atomizer has been investigated. Direct calibration method with cadmium standard solutions and ultrasonic agitation method of a solution including sample powder were used. Sulfur served as a matrix modifier for removal of interferences. Though this direct analytical method for cadmium determination in biological materials had a relatively large standard deviation, the accuracy was similar or superior to those of a sample digestion method and the direct analysis without sulfur. The advantages of this method are its simplicity, low cost, high speed of analysis, and rapid calibration.     

Hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction combined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry for the speciation of arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) in fresh waters and human hair extracts

A new method of hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) using ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) as extractant combined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) using Pd as permanent modifier has been described for the speciation of As(III) and As(V). In a pH range of 3.0-4.0, the complex of As(III)-APDC complex can be extracted using toluene as the extraction solvent leaving As(V) in the aqueous layer. The post extraction organic phase was directly injected into ETAAS for the determination of As(III). To determine total arsenic in the samples, first As(V) was reduced to As(III) by l-cysteine, and then a microextraction method was performed prior to the determination of total arsenic. As(V) assay was based on subtracting As(III) form the total arsenic. All parameters, such as pH of solution, type of organic solvent, the amount of APDC, stirring rate and extraction time, affecting the separation of As(III) from As(V) and the extraction efficiency of As(III) were investigated, and the optimized extraction conditions were established. Under optimized conditions, a detection limit of 0.12 ng mL⁻¹ with enrichment factor of 78 was achieved. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of the method for five replicate determinations of 5 ng mL⁻¹ As(III) was 8%. The developed method was applied to the speciation of As(III) and As(V) in fresh water and human hair extracts, and the recoveries for the spiked samples are 86-109%. In order to validate the developed method, three certified reference materials such as GBW07601 human hair, BW3209 and BW3210 environmental water were analyzed, and the results obtained were in good agreement with the certified values provided.     

Ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction combined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry for a sensitive determination of cadmium in water samples

A new method was developed for the determination of cadmium in water samples using ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (IL-based USA-DLLME) followed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The IL-based USA-DLLME procedure is free of volatile organic solvents, and there is no need for a dispersive solvent, in contrast to conventional DLLME. The ionic liquid, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (HMIMPF₆), was quickly disrupted by an ultrasonic probe for 1 min and dispersed in water samples like a cloud. At this stage, a hydrophobic cadmium–DDTC complex was formed and extracted into the fine droplets of HMIMPF₆. After centrifugation, the concentration of the enriched cadmium in the sedimented phase was determined by ETAAS. Some effective parameters of the complex formation and microextraction, such as the concentration of the chelating agent, the pH, the volume of the extraction solvent, the extraction time, and the salt effect, have been optimized. Under optimal conditions, a high extraction efficiency and selectivity were reached for the extraction of 1.0 ng of cadmium in 10.0 mL of water solution employing 73 µL of HMIMPF₆ as the extraction solvent. The enrichment factor of the method is 67. The detection limit was 7.4 ng L^− 1, and the characteristic mass (m₀, 0.0044 absorbance) of the proposed method was 0.02 pg for cadmium (Cd). The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 11 replicates of 50 ng L^− 1 Cd was 3.3%. The method was applied to the analysis of tap, well, river, and lake water samples and the Environmental Water Reference Material GSBZ 50009-88 (200921). The recoveries of spiked samples were in the range of 87.2–106%.     

Cloud point extraction for the determination of cadmium and lead employing sequential multi-element flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A cloud point extraction procedure for pre-concentration and determination of cadmium and lead in drinking water using sequential multi-element flame atomic absorption spectrometry is described. 4-(2-thiazolylazo)-orcinol (TAO) has been used as complexing agent and the micellar phase was obtained using the non-ionic surfactant octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (Triton X-114) and centrifugation. The conditions for reaction and extraction (surfactant concentration, reagent concentration, effect of incubation time, etc) were studied and the analytical characteristics of the method were determined. The method allows the determination of cadmium and lead with quantification limits of 0.30?µg?L^?1 and 2.6?µg?L^?1, respectively. A precision expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD, n?=?10) of 2.3% and 2.6% has been obtained for cadmium concentrations of 10?µg?L^?1 and 30?µg?L^?1, respectively, and RSD of 1.3% and 1.7% for lead concentrations of 10?µg?L^?1 and 30?µg?L^?1, respectively. The accuracy was confirmed by analysis of a natural water certified reference material. The method has been applied for the determination of cadmium and lead in drinking water samples collected in the cities of Ilhéus and Itabuna, Brazil. Recovery tests have also been performed for some samples, and results varied from 96 to 105% for cadmium and 97 to 106% for lead. The cadmium and lead concentrations found in these samples were always lower than the permissible maximum levels stipulated by World Health Organization and the Brazilian Government.     

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry: ultra trace determination of cadmium in water samples

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) technique was successfully used as a sample preparation method for graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF AAS). In this extraction method, 500 μL methanol (disperser solvent) containing 34 μL carbon tetrachloride (extraction solvent) and 0.00010 g ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (chelating agent) was rapidly injected by syringe into the water sample containing cadmium ions (interest analyte). Thereby, a cloudy solution formed. The cloudy state resulted from the formation of fine droplets of carbon tetrachloride, which have been dispersed, in bulk aqueous sample. At this stage, cadmium reacts with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, and therefore, hydrophobic complex forms which is extracted into the fine droplets of carbon tetrachloride. After centrifugation (2 min at 5000 rpm), these droplets were sedimented at the bottom of the conical test tube (25 ± 1 μL). Then a 20 μL of sedimented phase containing enriched analyte was determined by GF AAS.Some effective parameters on extraction and complex formation, such as extraction and disperser solvent type and their volume, extraction time, salt effect, pH and concentration of the chelating agent have been optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factor 125 was obtained from only 5.00 mL of water sample. The calibration graph was linear in the rage of 2-20 ng L⁻¹ with detection limit of 0.6 ng L⁻¹. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.s) for ten replicate measurements of 20 ng L⁻¹ of cadmium was 3.5%. The relative recoveries of cadmium in tap, sea and rivers water samples at spiking level of 5 and 10 ng L⁻¹ are 108, 95, 87 and 98%, respectively. The characteristics of the proposed method have been compared with cloud point extraction (CPE), on-line liquid-liquid extraction, single drop microextraction (SDME), on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) and co-precipitation based on bibliographic data. Therefore, DLLME combined with GF AAS is a very simple, rapid and sensitive method, which requires low volume of sample (5.00 mL).

Study of parameters associated with the determination of cadmium in lake sediments by slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

Cadmium concentration in lake sediments is determined by suspending the solid samples in a solution containing 5% (v/v) concentrated nitric acid and 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100. Three modifiers were tested for the direct determination. The furnace temperature programmes and appropriate amount for each modifier were optimised to get the highest signal and the best separation between the atomic and background signals. The drying stage is performed by programming a 400 °C temperature, a ramp time of 25 s and hold time of 10 s on the power supply of the atomiser. No ashing step is used and platform atomisation is carried out at 2200 °C. W–Rh permanent modifier combined with conventional modifier by delivering 10 μl of 0.50% (w/v) NH₄H₂PO₄ solution was the best chemical modifier for cadmium determination. This modifier also acts as a liquid medium for the slurry, thus simplifying the procedure. Calibration is performed using aqueous standards in the 1–5 μg l⁻¹ range. The optimised method gave a limit of detection of 0.56 ng ml⁻¹, characteristic mass of 10.1±0.8 pg for aqueous standard, 9.6±0.7 pg for slurry samples containing different Cd concentrations and good precision (7.6–5.2%). The method was validated by analysing four certified reference lake sediment materials: LKSD-1, LKSD-2, LKSD-3 and LKSD-4; satisfactory recoveries were obtained (90.0–96.3%) and no statistical differences were observed between the experimental and the certified cadmium concentration. The developed methodology was used to determine cadmium in three ‘real’ sediment samples from lakes in the area of Wielkopolski National Park, Poland.
