On-line electrochemical preconcentration and flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of manganese in urine samples

A sensitive and selective method was developed for the determination of traces of manganese in urine using on-line electrochemical preconcentration followed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry detection. A home made flow-through polypropylene cell (4.5 cm long × 0.8 cm diameter filled with glass marbles) with an effective inner volume of 0.5 ml containing a working and a counter electrode, both of glassy carbon and a Pt pseudo reference electrode was located in a flow injection manifold specially designed for the purpose of this work. The manganese was deposited from buffer solution of NH₃/NH₄Cl at pH 9.00 through an oxidizing process at a current of 400 mA during 7 min. A flow of HCl 0.1 mol l⁻¹ at 4 ml min⁻¹ through the cell, chemically dissolved the deposit. A small portion (15 μl) of the concentrate was introduced in a continuously flowing system by means of a timing device and was then carried to the detector for the manganese quantification. All electrochemical and spectroscopic variables as well as possible interferences in both systems were systematically studied. The relative standard deviations for ten consecutive measurements of manganese solutions of 2.0 and 20 μg l⁻¹ were of 2.3 and 1.5%, respectively, while for a sample processed five times was less then 5%. The accuracy of the developed procedure was evaluated by adding known amounts of manganese standard to urine samples and following the whole procedure. Recoveries within the range 97.2-102.8% were obtained. To further prove the accuracy, a Seronorm Trace Elements in Urine, Batch 403125 sample with a reported concentration of 13 μg Mn l⁻¹ was also analyzed. The experimental value obtained was of 12.7 ± 0.1 μg l⁻¹, which does not differ significantly from the reported amount (p < 0.05). A preconcentration factor of 40, a linear range between 0.015 and 60 μg l⁻¹ and a limit of detection of 15 ng l⁻¹ permitted the determination of manganese in real urine samples from non-exposed subjects in the range 0.5-2.8 μg l⁻¹.     

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.

Coprecipitation with metal hydroxides for the determination of beryllium in seawater by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

Coprecipitation first with magnesium hydroxide, next with tin(IV) hydroxide is developed for the determination of traces of beryllium in sea-water. To a 200-ml sample is added a sodium hydroxide solution to form magnesium hydroxide at pH 11.5, on which beryllium is quantitatively coprecipitated. The precipitate is separated by centrifugation and dissolved in 2 ml of 12 mol/l hydrochloric acid. The resulting solution (ca. 10 ml) is mixed with 2 mg of tin (IV) carrier and the pH is adjusted to 5.0 to collect the beryllium on tin (IV) hydroxide, leaving magnesium ions in the solution. The tin (IV) hydroxide is centrifuged, dissolved in 0.1 ml of 5 mol/l hydrobromic acid, and then diluted to 1 ml with water. Magnesium is so added as to be 500 g/ml for increasing the sensitivity about four times, and the beryllium in the solution is determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The experiments with synthetic seawater samples showed that pg — g amounts of beryllium can be coprecipitated on the metal hydroxides and beryllium at the low ng/1 level can be determined with reasonable precision (RSD < 10%). The detection limit of the proposed method is 0.5 ng/l of beryllium in seawater.     

Direct determination of iron in sand using solid sampling graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

A fast and reliable method for the direct determination of iron in sand by solid sampling graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. A Zeeman-effect 3-field background corrector was used to decrease the sensitivity of spectrometer measurements. This strategy allowed working with up to 200 μg of samples, thus improving the representativity. Using samples with small particle sizes (1–50 μm) and adding 5 μg Pd as chemical modifier, it was possible to obtain suitable calibration curves with aqueous reference solutions. The pyrolysis and atomization temperatures for the optimized heating program were 1400 and 2500 °C, respectively. The characteristic mass, based on integrated absorbance, was 56 pg, and the detection limits, calculated considering the variability of 20 consecutive measurements of platform inserted without sample was 32 pg. The accuracy of the procedure was checked with the analysis of two reference materials (IPT 62 and 63). The determined concentrations were in agreement with the recommended values (95% confidence level). Five sand samples were analyzed, and a good agreement (95% confidence level) was observed using the proposed method and conventional flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The relative standard deviations were lower than 25% (n = 5). The tube and boat platform lifetimes were around 1000 and 250 heating cycles, respectively. Correspondence: Pedro V.

Cloud point preconcentration and flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of Cd and Pb in human hair

Cloud point methodology has been successfully used for the preconcentration of trace amounts of Cd and Pb as a prior step to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. O,O-Diethyldithiophosphate and Triton X-114 are used as hydrophobic ligand and non-ionic surfactant, respectively. After phase separation at 40 °C based on cloud point of the mixture, the surfactant-rich phase is diluted with methanol. The enriched analyte in the final solution is determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry using conventional nebulization. After optimization of the complexation and extraction conditions, enhancement factors of 22 and 43 were obtained for Cd and Pb, respectively. Under the experimental conditions used, preconcentration of only 10 ml of sample in the presence of 0.05% (v/v) Triton X-114 permitted the detection of 0.62 μg l⁻¹ of Cd and 2.86 μg l⁻¹of Pb. The proposed method was applied to the determination of Cd and Pb in human hair samples.     

A preconcentration system using polyamine Metalfix-Chelamine resin for the on-line determination of palladium(II) and platinum(IV) by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry

A new matrix separation/preconcentration method is developed for the on-line determination of palladium(II) and platinum(IV) in complex matrices using a sequential ICP-OES instrument. These metals are preconcentrated in a microcolumn packed with Metalfix-Chelamine, a polymeric functionalised resin containing the tetraethylenepentamine group. The hydrodynamic and chemical conditions of the flow system affecting the loading and elution steps are optimised off-line using a mixture of 1.0 mol L⁻¹ thiourea and 2.0 mol L⁻¹ NaClO₄ in 4.0 mol L⁻¹ HCl which proved to be the most effective solution for the simultaneous elution of Pd(II) and Pt(IV). High enrichment factors of nearly 35 are achieved for both metals and the detection limits (LOD) are 22 ng L⁻¹ for platinum and 2.5 ng L⁻¹ for palladium. The accuracy of the method was tested by analysing a used pellet catalyst (certified reference material NIST 2556) and trace metal solutions resulting from the leaching of this material. Despite the fact that this CRM contains zirconium and large amounts of aluminium and lead, a high level of agreement was achieved demonstrating the efficiency of the resin in eliminating interfering elements.     

Solvent impregnated hollow fibre for a selective preconcentration of Pb(II) in an on-line determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A solvent impregnated hollow fibre (SIHF) module has been developed for the preconcentration of lead by using bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (DEHPA) dissolved in kerosene as extractant. The module has been designed for an on-line determination of trace amounts of lead(II) at mg l⁻¹ (ppm) level by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS).

The SIHF system is based on the metal liquid–liquid distribution between aqueous solutions of different acidity and the mentioned organic solution. The highest enrichment factor of Pb(II) was determined at pH=4.0 using a formic acid/formiate buffer solution.

Preconcentration experiments were carried out at low lead(II) concentration (mg l⁻¹ level) by using the SIHF module. This study includes the influence of hydrodynamic and chemical conditions on the loading and elution of Pb(II) on the SIHF, i.e., flow rate through the fibres, acidity of the eluent (as nitric acid concentration) and the chemical nature of the acid used in the elution. Breakthrough curves were determined for different sampling flow rates, 0.54 ml min⁻¹ was selected to minimise the loading volume of Pb(II) sample. 0.1 M nitric acid was chosen as eluent solution, and perchloric acid also shows appropriate elution characteristics. The degree of concentration obtained for Pb(II) are of 10 fold the original concentration. The quantification limit for Pb(II) achieved with this preconcentration system is 0.17 mg l⁻¹.

The results obtained indicate that the SIHF system can be applied for on-line determination of trace amounts of lead(II) by FAAS.     

Flow system with in-line separation/preconcentration coupled to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry with W-Rh permanent modifier for copper determination in seawater

A flow system was coupled to a graphite furnace with a platform coated with tungsten-rhodium permanent chemical modifier for in-line separation and preconcentration of copper by employing a minicolumn loaded with 1-(2-tiazolylazo)-2-naphthol (TAN) immobilized on C₁₈-bonded silica fixed in the tip of the autosampler arm. Elution was made by sampling 35 μl of 0.50 mol l⁻¹ HCl with further delivering into a coated platform. Remarkable improvements in both selectivity and sensitivity were observed. Copper(II) was effectively separated from solutions containing up to 20 g l⁻¹ Na⁺; 10 g l⁻¹ K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺; 1.0 g l⁻¹ Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺. For a sample flowing at 3.0 ml min⁻¹ and a loading of 60 s, the detection limit was estimated as 5 ng l⁻¹ Cu(II) at the 99.7% confidence level, and an enrichment factor of 33 was calculated. Coefficient of variation was estimated as 4% for a 0.30 μg l⁻¹ copper solution (n=20). The W-Rh permanent chemical modifier was used to improve system stability, analytical performance and atomizer lifetime. More than 1500 firings were carried out with the same atomizer without significant variations in sensitivity and precision. On account of the reagent immobilization, its consumption was lower than 0.2 μg per determination. In addition, TAN purification was unnecessary.

A new method for the determination of palladium was developed by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction preconcentration and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry detection. In the proposed approach, diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) was used as a chelating agent, and carbon tetrachloride and ethanol were selected as extraction and dispersive solvent. Some factors influencing the extraction efficiency of palladium and its subsequent determination, including extraction and dispersive solvent type and volume, pH of sample solution, concentration of the chelating agent and extraction time, were studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factor of this method for palladium reached at 156. The detection limit for palladium was 2.4 ng L⁻¹ (3σ), and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 4.3% (n = 7, c = 1.0 ng mL⁻¹). The method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amount of palladium in water samples.     

On-line electrochemical preconcentration of manganese for graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry using a flow-through electrochemical cell

A flow system incorporating a 2-electrode electrochemical microcell with a working electrode made from crushed reticulated vitreous carbon and a graphite furnace AAS instrument was used for the preconcentration and determination of trace amounts of Mn. The sample, rinsing and elution solutions were pneumatically transported through the system. Mn²⁺ ions can be quantitatively deposited both anodically and cathodically at a voltage of +1.5 to + 3 V and –2.5 to –4V, respectively applied to the cell. Samples of 0.1 to 1 ml volume were analyzed within 5–10 min. The limits of detection and determination were 8.7 and 29 pg, respectively. The reproducibility was 1.5 to 5%. The electrochemical behaviour of Mn in the flow system was studied by using a 3-electrode flow-through cell coupled on-line to a flame AAS instrument.On leave from Department of Analytical Chemistry, Slovak Technical University, CS-812 37 Bratislava, Czechoslovakia

A sensitive and selective flow injection time-based method for on-line preconcentration/separation and determination of gallium by flame atomic absorption spectrometry at trace levels was developed. The on-line formed gallium chloride complex is sorbed onto a polyether-type polyurethane foam mini-column, followed by on-line quantitative elution with isobutyl methyl ketone and direct introduction into the flame pneumatic nebulizer of the atomic absorption spectrometer. All chemical and flow variables of the system as well as the possible interferences were studied. The manner of strong HCl solutions propulsion was investigated and established using a combination of two displacement bottles. For 90 s preconcentration time, a sample frequency of 28 h⁻¹, an enhancement factor of 40, a detection limit of 6 μg l⁻¹ and a precision expressed as relative standard deviation (s_r) of 3.3% (at 1.00 mg l⁻¹) were achieved. The calibration curve is linear over the concentration range 0.02-3.00 mg l⁻¹. The accuracy of the developed method was sufficient and evaluated by the analysis of a silicon-aluminum alloy standard reference material. Finally, it was successfully applied to gallium determination in commercial aluminum alloys, natural waters and urine.     

Selective cloud point extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of silver as a dithizone complex prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination

Dithizone (diphenylthiocarbazone) was used as a complexing agent in cloud point extraction for the first time and applied for selective preconcentration of trace amounts of silver. The analyte in the initial aqueous solution was acidified with sulfuric acid (pH<1) and Triton X-114 was added as a surfactant. After phase separation, based on the cloud point separation of the mixture, the surfactant rich phase was diluted with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and the analyte determined in the enriched solution by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. After optimization of the complexation and extraction conditions, a preconcentration factor of 43 was obtained for only 10 ml of sample. The analytical curve was linear in the range of 3-200 ng ml⁻¹ and the limit of detection was 0.56 ng ml⁻¹. The proposed method was applied to the determination of silver in water samples.     

Preconcentration of palladium in a flow-through electrochemical cell for determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

An electrochemical preconcentration at a controlled potential on the electrode in a flow-through mode followed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric (GFAAS) detection is proposed for determination of trace amounts of palladium. After electrolysis the polarization of the electrodes was changed and deposited metal was dissolved electrochemically in the presence of an appropriate stripping reagent. Conditions for the electrodeposition, such as pH of the solutions, a deposition potential, dissolution potential and a composition of stripping solution were optimised. The graphite electrode (GE) and glassy carbon electrode (GCE) were tested for the palladium reduction process. The detection limit of 0.05 ng ml⁻¹ Pd (1 pg) was obtained after palladium preconcentration on the GCE and dissolution with 0.2 mol l⁻¹ thiourea in 0.1 mol l⁻¹ HCl followed by GFAAS detection. The method was applied for the determination of palladium in spiked tap water and road dust samples.     

Determination of thallium by furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

The analytical conditions for the determination of thallium by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry were studied and optimized using the peak-height mode. The charring-atomization curves for thallium from different atomization surfaces were constructed and the optimum charring and atomization conditions were established. These atomization surfaces included pyrolytic graphite-, tantalum-, zirconium- and tungsten-coated graphite tubes. The effects of different inorganic acids on the absorbance of thallium from different surfaces were studied. Using tungsten carbide-coated tubes, the interference effects due to hydrochloric and perchloric acids were eliminated. The matrix modification technique was also investigated for increasing the maximum permissible charring temperature for thallium. The matrix modifiers used included tungsten, zirconium, nickel and tantalum. The effect of adding these modifiers were studied in the presence of different acids. Tungsten increased the maximum permissible charring temperature from 400 to 1000 °C.     

Coupling continuous ultrasound-assisted extraction, preconcentration and flame atomic absorption spectrometric detection for the determination of cadmium and lead in mussel samples

Continuous ultrasound-assisted extraction has been coupled with preconcentration and flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of cadmium and lead in mussel samples. Experimental designs were used for the optimisation of the leaching and preconcentration steps. The use of diluted nitric acid as extractant in the continuous mode at a flow rate of 3.5 ml min⁻¹ and room temperature was sufficient for quantitative extraction of these trace metals. A minicolumn containing a chelating resin (Chelite P, with aminomethylphosphoric acid groups) was proved as an excellent material for the quantitative preconcentration of cadmium and lead prior to their flame atomic absorption detection. A flow injection manifold was used as interface for coupling the three analytical steps, which allowed the automation of the whole analytical process. A good precision of the whole procedure (2.0 and 2.3%), high enrichment factors (20.5 and 11.8) and a detection limit of 0.011 and 0.25 μg g⁻¹ for cadmium and lead, respectively, were obtained for 80 mg of sample. The sample throughputs were ca. 16 and 14 samples h⁻¹ for cadmium and lead, respectively. The accuracy of the analytical procedures was verified by using a standard reference material (BCR 278-R, mussel tissue) and the results were in good agreement with the certified values. The method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amounts of cadmium and lead in mussel samples from the coast of Galicia (NW, Spain).
