Abstract: | A new functionalized nanometer mesoporous silica (MCM-41) using 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (4-OHsal) was applied as an effective sorbent for solid phase extraction (SPE) of beryllium ions from aqueous solution followed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric detection (ICP OES). The influences of some analytical parameters on the quantitative recoveries of the analyte ion were investigated in batch method. In order to perform the batch mode of SPE, known amount of sorbent was added to a test tube containing sample solution buffered at pH 7.2. After manual shaking and centrifugation the aqueous phase was decanted and beryllium was desorbed by adding 1.0 mL of 1.0 mol L?1 HNO3 to the sedimented sorbent. The sorbent was separated by centrifugation and the concentration of beryllium in the supernatant was determined by ICP OES. The maximum sorption capacity of the modified MCM-41 was found to be 34 mg g?1. The sorbent exhibited good stability, reusability and fast rate of equilibrium for sorption/desorption of beryllium ions. The present method was used for preconcentration and determination of beryllium for water samples. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) obtained was 0.3 ng L?1. The accuracy of the procedure was evaluated by analysis of the certified reference material (NIST 1640). |
