a new approach for a cloud point extraction-electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric method was used for determining bismuth. the aqueous analyte was acidified with sulfuric acid (ph 3.0–3.5). triton x-114 was added as a surfactant and 2-amino-cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid was used as a complexing agent. after phase separation at 50 ◦ c based on the cloud point separation of the mi...

We describe an ultrasensitive and reliable method for determining vanadium in human serum by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. After lyophilization, the serum is digested in acid at high pressure, and the digests are evaporated to a small volume. Vanadium in the digests is complexed with cupferron, extracted, and dried. The residue is redissolved in formic acid, where it is 15-fold...

A method is described for direct electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric (ETAAS) determination of cadmium in untreated samples of wine. Pyrolytic graphite tubes and graphite tubes with standard L'vov pyrolytic platforms were tested as atomizers. The detection limit achieved was 0.08 microg L(-1) Cd in wine. The relative standard deviation for the concentration range from 0.2 to 10 microg...
