Determination of As, Sb and Se in Difficult Environmental Samples by Hydride Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
Hydride generation techniques are used routinely for the determination of As, Se, and Sb in environmental samples. Advantages include high sensitivity, simplicity and relative freedom from interferences. The current method for the hydride generation determination of As and Se, as outlined in the USEPA manual SW-846, utilizes zinc slurry methodology. A batch type method is described. Batch type hydride generators are inherently slow and prone to interferences. These problems can be overcome with continuous flow systems which are faster, simpler to use and more reliable. Also, interferences are more easily managed.

On-line Pre-Concentration and Separation of Inorganic Arsenic Based on Nano Platinum-Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
On-line solid phase extraction (SPE) based on nano adsorbent for pre-concentration of inorganic arsenic in water and waste water samples was developed prior to determine by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). By hydride generation simulation system (HGSS), the inorganic arsenic in liquid samples changed to hydride form and pass through nano platinum multi wall carbon n...

The mechanism of volatile hydride generation (HG) and the formation of analyte atoms in the quartz cell atomizer used in the determination of hydride-forming elements (As, Bi, Ge, Pb, Sb, Sn, Te etc.) by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), have been critically reviewed. The nascent hydrogen mechanism failed to explain hydride generation under different experimental conditions when tetrahydrob...

A novel method for prevention of the oxidation of Sb(III) during sample pretreatment, preconcentration of Sb(III) and Sb(V) with nanometer size titanium dioxide (rutile) and speciation analysis of antimony, has been developed. Antimony(III) could be selectively determined by flow injection-hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry, coexisting with Sb(V). Trace Sb(III) and Sb(V) were all...

A method is described for the determination of total arsenic by hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrophotometry using a mixed acid as a pretreatment. Hydride generation is done by the flow-injection method. The authors investigated in detail the temperature and time of decomposition using inorganic, organic arsenic and environmental standard samples, pretreated with nitric-perchloric-sul...

Simple analytical methods have been developed to speciate inorganic As and Se in the microgram per liter range using coupled ion chromatography–hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry. Because of the differences in toxicity and adsorption behavior, determinations of the redox states arsenite, As(III), and arsenate, As(V), and selenite, Se(IV), and selenate, Se(VI), are important. Anio...
