A simple, fast, and inexpensive voltammetric method for the simultaneous determination of trace bismuth(III) and lead(II) using (Hg(Ag)FE) as a working electrode was optimized. For adsorptive stripping voltammetric determination of Bi(III) and Pb(II) in a single scan, the cupferron was applied as a complexing agent. Experimental conditions under which these elements can be simultaneously detect...

The atmospheric particulate matter of industrialised cities have become a mixture of potentially basic substances whose concentration have to be monitored to assess the pollution levels. Anthropogenic elements, particularly trace metal, are part of these pollutants and the knowledge of their total concentration in the air is necessary to evaluate the pollution risk in term of maximum levels and...

Coprecipitation with terbium hydroxide quantitatively recovered trace amounts of chromium(III), copper(II) and lead(II) at pH 8.4 - 10.8, 8.0 - 11.5 and 8.7 - 11.5, respectively. The precipitate was dissolved in 0.85 mol dm(-3) nitric acid, and the analytes were determined by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS). The presence of terbium (up to 7 g dm(-3)) did not interfere w...

A novel method was developed for determination of trace amounts of lead in water and food samples. Solidified floating organic drop microextraction was used to preconcentrate the lead ion. After the analyte was complexed with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol, undecanol and acetonitrile were added as extraction and dispersive solvent, respectively. Variables such as pH, volumes of extraction and disp...

A simple and sensitive method is described for the determination of trace lead in Chinese herbs by derivative atom trapping flame atomic absorption spectrometry (D-AT-FAAS) with a modified water-cooled quartz atom-trapping tube. The effects that influence the sensitivity of the derivative method, such as the trap position, the flame conditions and the collection time, were studied. The characte...

A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Pb(II) in water samples is presented. A novel Graphene oxide with covalently linked porphyrin solid-phase extraction adsorbent was synthesized by covalently linked porphyrin onto the surfaces of graphite oxides. The stability of a chemically (GO-H2P) especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid was s...

  Abstract A simple, sensitive and feasible cloud-point extraction (CPE) methodology has been developed for the separation and preconcentration of cadmium and lead ions in real samples. The metals in the aqueous solution were complexes with 2-(3- indolyl) - 4,5 di phynyl imidazole.(IDPI), at pH = 7.0 and Triton X-114 was added as surfactant. The variables effecting like concentration of Triton ...

The application of sulfur nanoparticles as an efficient adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction and determination of the trace amounts of Pb and Pd ions was investigated in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Effects of various parameters such as pH, flow rate of sample and eluent, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent and interferin...
