Study of the adsorption behavior ¶of heavy metal ions on nanometer-size ¶titanium dioxide with ICP-AES

A new method using nanoparticle TiO₂ as solid-phase extractant coupled with ICP-AES was proposed for simultaneous determination of trace elements. The adsorption behavior of nanometer TiO₂ towards Cu, Cr, Mn and Ni was investigated by ICP-AES, and the adsorption pH curves, adsorption isotherms and adsorption capacities were obtained.

We have developed the extraction method of rhodium(III) from malonate media with 2‐octylaminopyridine (2‐OAP) in xylene at pH 8.0.

Properties of a high capacity iminodiacetate-agarose adsorbent and its application in a flow system with on-line buffering of acidified samples for accumulation of metal ions in natural waters

Adsorption properties of a fast iminodiacetate-agarose adsorbent, IDA-Novarose, with a capacity of 120-140 mumol/ml were studied for preconcentration of eight transition elements. A FIA-ICP-AES system was used in the study. It was shown that 0.3 ml of the adsorbent, packed in a column, can quantitatively accumulate Cr(3+), Mn(2+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) from standard solutions in the pH range between 4 and 8 at high loading flow rates (10-80 ml/min). The rate of adsorption was studied in batch experiments and found to be fast and equal for the divalent metal ions but relatively slow for accumulation of Cr(3+) and Fe(3+). On-line buffering of acidified samples improved the accumulation of metal ions from synthetic samples spiked with humic acid. Quantitative uptakes were observed for most of the studied metals. The accumulation of Cr(3+) was found to be quite sensitive to the ionic strength and some loss of inert complexes of Fe(3+) was also observed. The method was applied to the analysis of certified riverine water (SLRS-3), a tap water and a lake water. With few exceptions the results obtained by ICP-AES after preconcentration agreed well with the certified concentrations and results found by ICP-MS.
