Determination Of Copper

The aim of the study was to determine the levels of lead, cadmium, arsenic copper and iron in 25 water samples collected from across Kogi State. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used in the determination of copper, iron, lead and cadmium while UV-visible spectrophotometer was employed in the determination of arsenic, based on the formation of Molybdoarsenate. The ranges of mean values obtained for the heavy metals are: Arsenic (0.0014to 0.0252 mg/L), Copper (0.0013to 0.0095 mg/L), Lead (0.0001to 0.024 mg/L), Cadmium (0.003 to 0.072 mg/L) and Iron (0.0068 to 0.1242 mg/L). The results revealed that the River, Stream and Tap water sampled were contaminated with Arsenic (As), whereas, the levels of Fe, Cu and Pb were within the recommended limit set by WHO and NAFDAC. Though the level of cadmium (Cd) falls within acceptable limit in some of water samples, its high concentration in Isanlu should attract the attention of the authority in this area in curbing the growing threat.

Surface Molecular Imprinting Technique

Copper (II) imprinted polymer particles were prepared by surface molecular imprinting technique in toluenewith 1-hy-droxy-4-(prop-2-enyloxy)-9, 10-anthraquinone (AQ) as the functional monomer, silica gel as the carrier.The effect of adsorption time, acidity, temperature and concentration on adsorption capacity was investigated by atomic absorption spectrometry. Selectivity for Cu2+ of the prepared polymer was also studied in mixed aqueous solution, the ion imprinted polymer were applied to the determination of Cu2+ in river and tap water samples, the concentration of Cu2+ in water samples were determined and the recoveries of Cu2+ in river and tap water samples were 110.7% and 109.2%, respectively.

Determination Of Copper

The paper describes the development of an automatic on-line column pre-concentration technique using a time based-flow injection atomic absorption spectrometry system. A manifold incorporating a micro-column containing 25 mg of Dowex 50W-X8 was used with a time-based injector for the pre-concentration and determination of copper in natural and drinking waters. The system features depend on the alternate positions of a solenoid valve. The 3σ detection limits, enrichment factors, sampling frequency, relative standard deviations and linear calibration graphs were, respectively, in the range 0.6-1.5 μg/l, 25-60, 15-30 measurements/h, 1.0-3.1% and 1-65 μg/ml for pre-concentration times of 1 min. The procedure was successfully applied to a range of water samples and the accuracy was assessed through recovery experiments, the analysis of certified reference water samples and by independent analysis by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization.
