چکیده

Cyanide is a regulated contaminant in drinking water in the United States. This paper describes an ion chromatography method with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) that directly determines free cyanide in drinking water. Samples are treated with sodium hydroxide to stabilize cyanide and with a cation-exchange cartridge to remove transition metals. Cyanide is separated by anion-exchange chromatography and detected by PAD with a waveform optimized for cyanide and used with a disposable silver working electrode. The recovery of cyanide spiked into five water samples was >80%. With an MDL of 1.0 microg/L, this method determines cyanide concentrations well below the reporting limits for free cyanide in drinking water.

Development of an Analytical Protocol for Determination of Cyanide in Human Biological Samples Based on Application of Ion Chromatography with Pulsed Amperometric Detection

A simple and accurate ion chromatography (IC) method with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) was proposed for the determination of cyanide ion in urine, sweat, and saliva samples. The sample pretreatment relies on alkaline digestion and application of Dionex OnGuard II H cartridge. Under the optimized conditions, the method showed good linearity in the range of 1-100 μg/L for urine, 5-100 μg/L...

Determination of cyanide in urine and saliva samples by ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection

ABSTRACT Commonly known as a highly toxic chemical, cyanide is also an essential reagent for many industrial processes. It naturally occurs in plant seeds as cyanogenic glycosides. Another relatively common mode of cyanide exposure is inhalation of environmental tobacco smoke. This study concerns importance to determine cyanide ion in human biological samples. Urine and saliva samples were coll...

Determination of biogenic amines in alcoholic beverages by ion chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection and integrated pulsed amperometric detection.

The determination of biogenic amines in alcoholic beverages is important to assess the potential risks associated with the consumption of high concentrations of these compounds. In addition, product storage conditions and the length of storage can cause the formation of biogenic amines that reduce product quality. We report a new method using cation-exchange chromatography with either suppresse...

Development of a flow injection method with amperometric detection for the indirect determination of copper in drinking water samples

A gas-diffusion flow injection method with amperometric detection for the indirect determination of copper on a silver electrode was developed. The flow through system was equipped with two injection valves and a gasdiffusion unit. In the first step, a signal of a cyanide solution was recorded. In the subsequent step, the signal of cyanide in the presence of copper was measured. Interferences (...
