In the present paper, a separation/preconcentration procedure is presented for the solid phase extraction of Pb and Cd from environmental samples on a natural adsorbent (ram horn powder, RHP), prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The procedure is based on the adsorption of the bivalent ions of these metals as their 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulphonic aci...

a simple and reproducible method for the rapid extraction and determination of trace amounts of copper(ii) ions using octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks modified by 1-(2-pyridyl azo)2-naphtol(pan) and atomic absorption spectrometry was presented. the method was based on complex formation on the surface of the envi-18 disk tm disks followed by stripping of the retained species by minimum amo...

Major elements such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium are essential nutrients in food and the routine monitoring of the levels of these elements in fruit juices is a common quality control process. Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS) is well suited to this application as it delivers the performance required for the analysis at a reasonable price. However, with the introduction...

The aim of this work was to determine the heavy metal content of the fruiting bodies of four species of wild edible mushrooms and their respective substrates. The samples were collected from Dambovita County, Romania, at various distances from of a metal smelter, to asses the concentration of Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se and Cd in the wild edible mushrooms and their substrate using Energy Dispers...

A column of alumina modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dimethylglyoxime (DMG) was prepared for the preconcentration of trace nickel from water samples for flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) determinations. Under optimized conditions (pH=7.0; flow rate: 20 mlmin-1) nickel was retained on the column. The nickel collected on the column was eluted with 5 mL of 1 M nitric ac...

Two different gold-silica-based nanomaterials were prepared: (i) silica-supported gold nanoparticles (AuNP/SiO2); and (ii) gold-silica core-shell (AuNP@SiO2). Three strategies for sample treatment (S), consisting in acid treatments, employed: (S1) HNO3; (S2) HNO3 + HCl; (S3) HF HCl, applying microwave oven digestion S2 S3. From three calibration curves, slope, intercept, linear correlation coef...

In this study, a new sorbent of chemically-modified activated carbon with L-arginine (AC-Arg) has been produced as solid-phase extraction, to trace Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions in real samples, including soil and water samples, by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS). Once the surface coverage value is determined, the surface modification has been investigated and assessed, while having em...

in this work, a procedure for preconcentration of cobalt using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (dllme) with the reagent 1-nitroso 2-naphtol as complexing reagent was developed. at ph 4, co(ii) was complexed with 1-nitroso 2-naphtol and extracted into the fine droplets formed when mixing chloroform (extraction solvent), ethanol (disperser solvent) and the sample solution. after extracti...
