The determination of manganese in the presence of iron and chromium by differential pulse voltammetry and fundamental harmonic alternating current voltammetry was compared, including the case of very high element concentration ratios. The voltammetric measurements were carried out using a stationary mercury electrode in ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer (pH 9.6). The analytical procedure was verified...
A method for the determination of total chromium in cocaine and heroin by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry is presented. Cocaine samples were dissolved in 2 ml of HNO 3 35.0% (v/v) and diluted to 10 ml with ultrapure water; heroin samples were dissolved in ultrapure water, adding 0.4 ml of HNO 3 35.0% (v/v) to dissolve inert species, and also diluted to 10 ml. Mg(NO 3...
A flow injection analysis (FIA) method is presented for the simultaneous determinations of iron(III)-vanadium(V) and of iron(III)-chromium(VI) using a single spectrophotometric detector. In the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), iron(III) is easily reduced by vanadium(IV) to iron(II), followed by the formation of a red iron(II)-phen complex (λ max =510 nm), which shows a positive...
We have studied the speciation of chromium (VI) in stainless-steel welding dusts. The approach used for the analysis of Cr(VI) and total Cr relies on a flow-injection analyzer (FIA) equipped with two different sequential detectors. The system measures Cr(VI), by colorimetry (with 1,5-diphenyl carbohydrazide) and total chromium content by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The extraction...
The spectrophotometric determination of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) via sequential injection was used to demonstrate the sensitivity enhancement provided by a newly developed wetting film extraction system. The reaction product of Cr(VI) with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide was ion-paired with perchlorate and extracted into an organic wetting film consisting of octanol and 4-methyl-2-pentanone on the inner wall of...
A simple, rapid and precise spectrophotometric method for the determination of Chromium (III and IV) has been developed. The reaction of Cr(VI) with N,N-diethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine is almost complete in a twinkling, which yields a red product with a wavelength of maximum absorption at 530 nm. Beer's Law is obeyed in the Cr concentration range of 0-2.0 μg ml -1 . The molar absorptivity...
A liquid core waveguide (LCW) has been used to extend the sensitivity of conventional absorbance spectroscopy for chromium(VI) and molybdenum(VI). Analysis of Cr(VI) and Mo(VI) concentrations in water samples with a 5.0 m pathlength LCW made of Teflon AF-2400 provides 0.2 and 0.6 nM detection limits, respectively. No preconcentration is required in this analysis. The proposed procedures were applied...
Rapid and direct procedures for the determination of molybdenum, chromium and aluminium in human urine samples are developed. Fast-programme methodology is used to simplify the heating cycles. Hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid and Triton X-100 are added to the urine samples which are directly introduced into the furnace. For molybdenum, two successive injection steps are required due to the low level...
The slurry technique was applied to the determination of Ni, Cr and Co in wheat flour by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The influence of the graphite furnace temperature programme was optimized. Optimum sensitivity was obtained by using a mixture of 15% HNO 3 –10% H 2 O 2 as suspended medium for a 3% w/v slurry in the determination of Ni; lower concentrations...
In some situations, it is no longer sufficient to give a total concentration of a metal. Instead, what is required to understand the potential toxicity of a sample is the concentration of metal species or oxidation state. When developing species specific methods, the major concern is that the integrity of the species ratio is not changed. In other words, the sample preparation or the analytical method...
A method for the preconcentration and speciation of chromium was developed. After formation of an anionic compound with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CrY - ), Cr (VI) and Cr (III) are retained on a strong anionic phase (SAX) and controlled elution with 0.5 M NaCl permits their speciation. The retention and elution conditions were optimised, and interferences due to the presence of other...
A new, sensitive and robust time-based flow injection (FI) method for on-line preconcentration and determination of ultra trace amounts of chromium(VI) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) has been elaborated. The sample is initially mixed on-line with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) and the Cr(VI)-PDC chelate is absorbed quantitatively on a mini-column packed with polytetrafluoroethylene...
Chromium(III) is commonly found in large quantities in tannery wastewaters. For this reason, the recovery of the chromium content of these wastewaters is necessary for environmental protection and economic reasons. Removal and recovery of chromium were carried out by using ion exchange resins. To this purpose, two weakly acidic exchange resins Amberlite IRC 76 and Amberlite IRC 718 and a strongly...
A simple and sensitive method for the speciation, separation and preconcentration of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in tap water was developed. Cr(VI) has been separated from Cr(III) and preconcentrated as its 1,5-diphenylcarbazone complex by using a column containing Amberlite XAD-16 resin and determined by FAAS. Total chromium has also been determined by FAAS after conversion of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) by oxidation...
A simple, sensitive and low cost, flow injection time-based method was developed for on-line preconcentration and determination of copper, lead and chromium(VI) at sub μg l -1 levels in natural waters and biological samples. At the optimum pH, the on-line formed metal-ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) complexes were sorbed on the unloaded commercial polyurethane foam (PUF),...
A new melamine based polymeric sequestering resin was prepared for preconcentration and separation of hexavalent chromium from water, and its sequestering action was investigated. The water-insoluble, cross-linked sequestering resin was formed by reaction with bromosuccinic acid and cross-linking of melamine. The active sequestering group on the resin is NH-(Succinic acid) or salt thereof. The resulting...
An ''oil in water'' formulation was optimized to determine chromium in heavy crude oil (HCO) and bitumen-in-water emulsion (Orimulsion-400(R)) samples by transversally heated electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (TH-ET AAS) using Zeeman effect background correction. The optimum proportion of the oil-water mixture ratio was 7:3 v/v (70 ml of oil as the internal phase) with a non-ionic surfactant...
A rapid, sensitive and selective method is described for the determination of chromium(VI) in presence of 100-fold amounts of chromium(III) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) in conjunction with coprecipitative preconcentration of its ethyl xanthate complex onto naphthalene. The solid mixture consisting of the chromium(VI) complex together with naphthalene is dissolved in 8.0ml of dimethyl...
In this work, methodologies were developed to determine aluminum (Al), cadmium chromium and lead in drinking water by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry using permanent modifiers. No use of modifier, iridium, ruthenium, rhodium and zirconium (independently, 500μg) were tested to each one analyte through the pyrolysis and atomization temperatures curves. As the matrix is very simple, did...
A further study on a newly developed flow injection (FI) on-line multiplexed sorption preconcentration (MSP) using a knotted reactor coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was carried out to demonstrate its applicability and limitation for trace element determination. For this purpose, Cr(VI), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) were selected as the analytes, and detailed comparison was made...
