The recovery test in the “surrogate” mode is often exploited for trueness assessment when appropriate certified reference materials are not available or to support reference material studies. The species effect occurs when chemical forms of native and surrogate analytes are different. It usually results in obtaining incomparable analytical signals for both forms. Influence of the species effect on...
The aim of the present work is to investigate the use of the internal standardization technique combined with permanent chemical modification for the determination of two semivolatile analytes, such as As and Se, in difficult matrices by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Bismuth and tellurium have been evaluated as internal standards to minimize matrix effects on the direct determination...
A procedure is developed for the analysis of sub-μgL −1 levels of arsenic, antimony and selenium after preconcentration of their hydrides. The study highlights the capability of an aqueous suspension of a nanometer-sized magnetic ceria, in the presence of iodide, to function as a sorbent for the in situ trapping and preconcentration of the hydrides of certain metalloids. After extraction,...
A dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (DMSPE) with graphene as a solid adsorbent and ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) as a chelating agent was proposed for speciation and detemination of inorganic selenium by the energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF). In developed DMSPE, graphene particles are dispersed throughout the analyzed solution, therefore reaction between...
The miniaturized atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) sustained between a liquid flowing cathode and a He nozzle jet anode was combined with hydride generation (HG) to improve the performance of the determination of As, Sb and Se with optical emission spectrometry (OES). As(III), Sb(III) and Se(IV) species were converted into volatile hydrides in the reaction with NaBH 4 and right after...
After the Fukushima disaster, power generation from nuclear power plants in Japan was completely stopped and old coal-based power plants were re-commissioned to compensate for the decrease in power generation capacity. Although coal is a relatively inexpensive fuel for power generation, it contains high levels (mgkg−1) of selenium, which could contaminate the wastewater from thermal power plants....
Arsenic (As), Selenium (Se) and Mercury (Hg) are three trace elements that have been the subject of much analytical discussion and investigation over the last three decades. While Selenium (Se) is among the list of essential trace elements necessary for the regulation of metabolic processes and overall health, As and Hg are not, and have been the centre of various cases surrounding the contamination...
This paper proposed a multisyringe flow injection analysis (MSFIA) system for antimony, arsenic and selenium determination in peanut samples by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS). The optimization step of the hydride generation was performed using a two-level full factorial design involving the parameters: hydrochloric acid, sodium tetrahydroborate and potassium iodide concentrations...
In the existing study, a new, simple and low cost process for separation/preconcentration of ultra-trace level of inorganic Sb and Se from natural waters, beverages and foods using ultrasonic-assisted cloud point extraction (UA-CPE) prior to their speciation and determination by hydride generation AAS, is proposed. The process is based on charge transfer sensitized complex formations of Sb(III) and...
We improved our inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) whole blood method [1] for determination of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) by including manganese (Mn) and selenium (Se), and expanding the calibration range of all analytes. The method is validated on a PerkinElmer (PE) ELAN® DRC II ICP-MS (ICP-DRC-MS) and uses the Dynamic Reaction Cell (DRC) technology to attenuate...
A procedure of Se(IV) determination by anodic stripping voltammetry using two deposition and stripping steps at gold electrodes was proposed. A well-defined stripping peak of selenium was obtained at potential 0.9 V. The optimization of parameters influencing the selenium peak current including both deposition and stripping steps was performed. A linear relationship was observed between the Se(IV)...
Herein, we report an environmental friendly, facile, and completely green synthetic method for producing carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from whey, a major dairy waste. The as-prepared monodispersed diameter CQDs exhibit blue luminescence with noteworthy quantum yield (~11.4%) and excitation dependent emission behaviour. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis reveals the presence of aromatized carbon...
This work illustrates an accurate method for determination of Se by electrolytic hydride generation technique based on a novel carbon paste electrode for sample introduction combined with atomic fluorescence spectral analysis. The studies show that Se(IV) can be converted efficiently to SeH2 on an L-cysteine modified carbon paste electrode (CMCPE), which has never been reported before. Significantly,...
A novel, simple and accurate on-line green methodology for Se(IV) monitoring by molecular fluorescence has been developed. Because the analyte does not exhibit fluorescence, the organic dye Chrome azurol S (CAS) has been chosen to allow detection. The effect of metal-quenching on CAS excitation and emission conditions (λex=300nm; λem=407nm) was used as criterion for analyte quantification in presence...
A novel ultrasound-assisted liquid phase microextraction (UALPME) based on environmental friendly extractants, deep eutectic solvent (DES) was first time presented for speciation of selenium. In present study, five DES solvents of different composition was prepared and used as efficient extractive medium for hydrophobic chelate of Se(IV) with 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB). The total inorganic Se species...
In this work, ethylenediamine modified poly(glycidyl methacrylate-ethylene dimethacrylate)(poly(GMA-EDMA-NH2)) was prepared for highly selective extraction of Se(VI) with high adsorption capacity of 0.825 mg m−1 (530 µm i.d.). Based on it, a novel method of polymer monolithic capillary microextraction (CME) on-line coupling with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed for...
