Abstract: | A microcolumn on-line preconcentration and separation system was developed for the flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) determination of trace levels of gold and palladium. The analytes were selectively adsorbed onto the microcolumn packed with 2-mercaptothiazole immobilized silica gel (MBTSG) in an acidity range of 0.1 to 6.0M HCl at a sampling flow rate of 4.0mLmin–1. The analytes adsorbed could be desorbed by a thiourea solution with a flow rate of 2.0mLmin–1. Most of the common coexisting metal ions at a concentration of 25.0mgmL–1 and anions at a concentration of 50.0mgmL–1 did not interfere with the preconcentration and determination of Au and Pd. The limits of detection (LOD), defined as three times the standard deviation of the blank (3), of Au and Pd are 10ngmL–1 and 26ngmL–1, respectively, with a preconcentration time of 60s. The relative standard deviation (RSD) is about 2.0% for 0.20µgmL–1 Au and 0.30µgmL–1 Pd. With a sample loading time of 30min, 6.7ngmL–1 Au and 10ngmL–1 Pd can be preconcentrated quantitatively. A geological sample, an anode slime and a secondary nickel alloy were successfully determined with the proposed method, and the results obtained showed good agreement with the certified values.Received December 23, 2002; accepted May 14, 2003Published online August 8, 2003 |
