Abstract: | An on-line column preconcentration technique for flow-injection atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. Diverse metal ions (Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Pb2+, Fe3+ and Cr3+) in solution were concentrated quantitatively by a microcolumn (7-mm × 4-mm i.d.) packed with Muromac A-1, which is an iminodiacetate chelate resin, in a flow-injection system. From the pH dependence of the uptake of the ions, all the divalent metals examined were recovered quantitatively in the pH range 3–5 and the trivalent metals were recovered at a maximum pH of 1. Enrichment factors using 20-ml samples were in the range 90–180-fold for the seven elements and the sampling rate was 13 h?1. The 3σ detection limits were in the range 0.14–2.1 μg l?1 and the relative standard deviations for replicate measurements (n=3–4) were in the range 0.7–1.7%. The method was compared with flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Application to the determination of cadmium and copper in several standard reference materials is described. |
