Flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of lead in waste water and effluent after preconcentration using a rapid coprecipitation technique with gallium phosphate

A determination method for lead in waste water and effluent was studied using flame atomic absorption spectrometry after preconcentration of lead by the rapid coprecipitation technique with gallium phosphate. Lead ranging from 0.5 to 50 μg was quantitatively coprecipitated with gallium phosphate from 100–150 mL sample solution (pH ∼5). The presence of gallium phosphate did not affect the atomic absorbance of lead. Since the concentration of gallium in the final sample solution is also measurable by flame atomic absorption spectrometry at 250.0 nm without further dilution, the rapid coprecipitation technique, which does not require complete collection of the precipitate, becomes possible using a known amount of gallium and measuring the concentrations of both lead and gallium in the final sample solution by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The 32 diverse ions tested gave no significant interferences in the lead determination. The method proposed here is rapid and has good reproducibility.

Application of internal standardization to rapid coprecipitation technique using lanthanum phosphate for flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of iron and lead.

By applying an internal standardization, we could use a rapid coprecipitation technique using lanthanum phosphate as a coprecipitant for preconcentration of iron(III) and lead in their flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination. Indium as an internal standard was added to the initial sample solution together with lanthanum and phosphoric acid; the coprecipitation of iron(III) and lead was then carried out at pH about 3. After measuring the atomic absorbances of iron, lead, and indium in the final sample solution, we determined the contents of iron(III) and lead in the original sample solution by using the internal standardization with indium. In this method, complete collection of the precipitate was not required after the coprecipitation of iron(III), lead, and indium, because the ratio of the recovery of iron(III) or lead to that of indium was almost constant regardless of the recovery of the precipitate. This method was simple and rapid, and was available for the determination of 2-300 micrograms L-1 of iron(III) and 5-400 micrograms L-1 of lead in some water samples.     

Rapid coprecipitation-separation and flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of lead and cadmium in water with cobalt (II) and ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate

A coprecipitation technique which does not require complete collection of the precipitate was proposed for the determination of trace lead and cadmium in water with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after preconcentration of lead and cadmium by using cobalt (II) and ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (Co-APDC) as coprecipitant and known amount of cobalt as an internal standard. Since lead, cadmium and cobalt were well distributed in the homogeneous precipitate, the concentration ratio of lead to cobalt, and cadmium to cobalt remained unchanged in any part of the precipitate. The amount of lead and cadmium in the original sample solution can be calculated respectively from the ratio of the absorbance values of lead and cadmium to cobalt in the final sample solution that is measured by FAAS and the known amount of the lead and cadmium in the standard series solutions. The optimum pH range for quantitative coprecipitation of lead and cadmium is from 3.0 to 4.5. The 16 diverse ions tested gave no significant interferences in the lead and cadmium determination. Under optimised conditions, lead ranging from 0 to 40?µg and cadmium ranging from 0 to 8?µg were quantitatively coprecipitated with Co-APDC from 100?mL sample solution (pH?～?3.5). This coprecipitation technique coupled with FAAS was applied to the determination of lead and cadmium in water samples with satisfactory results (recoveries in the range of 94.0–108%, relative standard deviations <6.0%).     

Determination of some trace metals in water and sediment samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry after coprecipitation with cerium (IV) hydroxide

A cerium(IV) hydroxide coprecipitation method was developed for the determination of some trace elements (Cu, Co, Pb, Cd, Ni) in aqueous solutions, water and sediment samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Several parameters governing the efficiency of the coprecipitation method were evaluated including pH of sample solution, amount of carrier element, volume of sample solution and the effect of possible matrix ions The procedure was validated by the analysis of GBW 07309 standard reference material sediment and by use of a method based on a solid phase extraction.     

Determination of trace amounts of some metals in samples with high salt content by atomic absorption spectrometry after cobalt-diethyldithiocarbamate coprecipitation

A method for determination of trace amounts of Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Zn, Cd, Ni, Bi and Cr in aqueous solutions by flame atomic absorption spectrometry after coprecipitation by using a combination of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate as a chelating agent and cobalt as a carrier element was introduced. Different factors including amounts of reagents, pH of sample solution, standing time, sample volume for the precipitation and matrix effects were examined. Under selected conditions, the relative standard deviation of the combined method of sample treatment, coprecipitation and determination with flame AAS (n = 9) is generally about 3.5-6.9%; the limits of detection (3 s, n = 20) for the analytes were found to be between 4 and 64 microg 1(-1). The procedure was applied to the analysis of sea water and dialysis concentrate samples with quantitative recovery, > or =95%.

Tandem dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction coupled with micro-sampling flame atomic absorption spectrometry for rapid determination of lead(II) and cadmium(II) ions in environmental water samples

ABSTRACT

Tandem dispersive liquid liquid microextraction coupled with micro - sampling flame atomic absorption spectrometry for rapid determination of lead2 and cadmium2 ions in environmental water samples. A simple method termed as tandem dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction coupled with micro-sampling flame atomic absorption spectrometry is used for determination of the lead(II) and cadmium(II) ions in different environmental water samples. According to the proposed method, the target analytes are extracted from an aqueous sample solution (10 mL) into a micro-volume of an organic solvent, and then they are selectively back-extracted into an aqueous acceptor solution (150 μL) to increase the compatibility of the extractant phase with a final analyser system and provide a suitable enrichment factor. The developed method is very fast, implemented in just about 7 min, and provides a high sample clean-up. The factors influencing the extraction efficiency including the type and volume of the organic solvent, pH and volume of the acceptor solution, and number of extractions are thoroughly examined and optimised. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the developed method provides a good linearity (in the range of 0.4–300 ng mL^?1 (R² ≥ 0.994)), and low limits of detection (in the range of 0.07–0.31 ng mL^?1). Finally, the method is successfully applied for the direct determination of the understudied analytes in the river, dam, and well water samples.

Lead contents of foodstuffs

Some possible errors are pointed out, which can occur in the determination of lead and a method is described which minimizes these errors. The loss of lead during the dry-ashing-procedure was determined in dependence on the temperature in the sample measured by immersed thermocouples. It is not advisable to transfer ashing data from one foodstuff (e.g. vegetable) to foodstuffs of different composition (e.g. meat); such data must be determined experimentally. Many matrix elements in ash solutions influence the lead determination by atomic absorption spectroscopy. By H₂S coprecipitation of lead and added silver ions as PbS/Ag₂S this disturbance can be avoided and the lead concentration is simultaneously increased. With the aid of a nitrate-carbonate melt before the H₂S coprecipitation the residual carbon of the ash is removed and acid-insoluble compounds are made accessible. The use of hydrofluoric acid for destroying the silicates, which is disadvantageous, can thus be omitted. The lead content in the final solution is determined in an atomic absorption spectrometer by comparison with a standard solution of appropriate concentration.     

The determination of gallium by atomic absorption spectrometry

The use of a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame for the determination of gallium by atomic absorption spectrometry was compared with the use of air-acetylene flames. The nitrous oxide method provided higher sensitivity and was much less sensitive to acid and base composition and to diverse added salts. Significant matrix and background effects, which occurred when gallium was determined in ore solutions with the air-acetylene flame, were eliminated with the nitrous oxideacetylene flame.

Determination of lead in plants in controlling phytoremediation processes using slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

The comparative determination of lead in plant samples by two atomic spectrometric techniques is reported. At first, slurry sampling electrothermal atomisation atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) was applied. The results obtained were compared with those found after a wet digestion procedure by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) or ETAAS. The accuracy of the studied methods was checked using a certified reference material (CL???1 CRM, Cabbage Leaves). The recovery of lead was 90% for slurry sampling ETAAS, and 86.6% for liquid sampling ETAAS. The advantages of the slurry sampling ETAAS method are the simplicity of sample preparation and very good sensitivity.     

Determination of cadmium in river water by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry after internal standardization-assisted rapid coprecipitation with lanthanum phosphate.

Cadmium ranging from 1 - 8 ng could be coprecipitated quantitatively with lanthanum phosphate at pH 5 - 6 from up to 200 mL of river water samples spiked with 5 microg of indium as an internal standard. Cadmium and indium coprecipitated were measured by using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. The cadmium content in the original sample solution could be determined by internal standardization with indium. Since complete collection of the precipitate and strict adjustment of the volume of the final solution after coprecipitation are not required in this method, the precipitate could be collected by using decantation and centrifugation, and then dissolved with 1 mL of about 2.4 mol L(-1) nitric acid. The proposed method is simple and rapid, and enrichment close to 200-times can be attained; the detection limit (3sigma, n = 6) was 0.63 ng L(-1) in 200 mL of the sample solution.     

Comparison of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry of the metal content of sewage sludge with flame atomic absorption spectrometry in conjunction with different pretreatment methods

Determination of the metal content of sewage sludges is of increasing importance in order to assess the suitability of the sludge for disposal to agricultural land. The methods currently used for the determination of cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc are time-consuming. A rapid electrothermal atomic absorption procedure with homogenization as the only pretreatment is compared with wet and dry pretreatment methods followed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, in a statistically designed experiment. The precision of the rapid electrothermal atomic absorption procedure compares well with flame atomic absorption in conjunction with all pretreatment methods used. Time saved by the use of this method is substantial; the procedure could be used advantageously for routine analysis.

Analysis of lead and tin in strong brine and high iron systems using the microsampling technique

The development of hydrometallurgical techniques such as the iron(III) chloride-sodium chloride system for the recovery of metals from scrap materials necessitates the analyses of these metals in a high salt medium during the recovery studies. An alternative method for the analysis of lead and tin in strong brine and high iron systems by flame atomic absorption spectrometry is a microsampling technique in combination with in situ standard addition. Relative standard deviations of 1.2% and 2.2% were obtained for the analysis of lead and tin respectively. The accuracy for the method is also satisfactory with recoveries ranging from 90% to 102%. The microsampling technique is rapid and simple, requires small volumes of sample and offers no clogging problems during the atomic absorption analyses.
