A new modified organo-bentonite using dithizone(D-O-bentonite) was used for preconcentration, separation and determination of silver(I) in natural water by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The experimental conditions for effective adsorption and elution of trace levels of silver (I) were optimized with respect to different experimental parameters. The influences of some common coexisting ions were also examined. The results show that the silver ion could be adsorbed on the D-O-bentonite. The adsorbed quantitively was affected by the pH value of medium and contact time. In the medium of pH 4-8, the contact time was 15 min, and capacity of the sorbent was 19.7 mg·g-1. The silver(I) adsorbed on the sorbent could be completely eluated by using 1 mol·L-1HNO3. The preconcentration factor is 100. The detection limit of the method for silver was 0.02 µg·L-1. The method was applied to the pre-concentration/separation of silver in the environmental water with satisfactory results.

A new method of preconcentration with nanometer-strontium titanate immobilized on aluminum oxide (ASTO) combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was proposed for the determination of trace heavy metal ions, included Cu2+, Ni2+ and Ag+, in environmental water. The optimum experimental parameters for preconcentration of the heavy metals studied, such as pH, shaking time, eluent and coexisting ions, have been investigated. The results showed that Cu2+, Ni2+ and Ag+, could be quantitatively retained by the ASTO in the pH range of 5-8, and then eluted completely with 2 mol·L-1 HNO3. The detection limits of this method for Cu2+, Ni2+ and Ag+ were 0.031μg·L-1, 0.15μg·L-1and0.041μg·L-1 with an enrichment factor of 50, respectively.

Amino silica gel functionalized with 2-hydroxy-5 -(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)benzoic acid was synthesized, characterized and used as adsorbent for the removal of Ga3+, In3+ and Tl3+ from aqueous solution prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Experimental parameters that affect the separation process were investigated in both batch and column modes. The maximum adsorption capacities of the sorbent are 61.7 mg g−1, 81.3 mg g−1 and 133.0 mg g−1 for Ga3+, In3+ and Tl3+, respectively. The preconcentration factor is 200 and the limits of detection of Ga3+, In3+ and Tl3+ are 4.10 μg L−1, 1.55 μg L−1 and 1.21 μg L−1, respectively. Interference by Al3+ can be masked by the addition of F−; and that of Fe3+ by its reduction to Fe2+ using 10% ascorbic acid. The method was successfully applied for the determination of these ions in water, sediments and liquid crystal display samples.

A new method was proposed for the preconcentration/separation of zinc at trace levels using a modified organo-bentonite with dithizone (D-O-bentonite) and determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The influences of some experimental parameters including pH of the sample solution, contact time, and volume of eluent have been investigated. The influences of some matrix elements were also examined. The results show that the zinc ion could be adsorbed on the D-O-bentonite. The adsorbed quantitively was affected by the pH value of medium and contact time. In the medium of pH 4-5, the contact time was 20 min, and capacity of adsorption was 32.0 mg·g-1. The zinc adsorbed on the sorbent could be completely eluated by using 0.5 mol·L-1 HNO3. The method has a good tolerance to matrix interference. The detection limit of the method for zinc ion was 0.013 µg·L-1. The method was successfully applied to the pre-concentration/separation of zinc ion in the tap water and human urine with satisfactory results.

AbstractA rapid dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) methodology based on the application of 1-hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate [C6py][PF6] ionic liquid (IL) as an extractant solvent was applied for the pre-concentration of trace levels of cobalt prior to determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) was employed as a chelator forming a Co-PMBP complex to extract cobalt ions from aqueous solution into the fine droplets of [C6py][PF6]. Some effective factors that influence the micro-extraction efficiency include the pH, the PMBP concentration, the amount of ionic liquid, the ionic strength, the temperature and the centrifugation time which were investigated and optimized. In the optimum experimental conditions, the limit of detection (3s) and the enrichment factor were 0.70 µg L−1 and 60, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for six replicate determinations of 50 µg L−1 Co was 2.36%. The calibration graph using the pre-concentration system was linear at levels 2–166 µg L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9982. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by the determination of trace amounts of cobalt in several water samples.
