چکیده
Multielement monitoring of the concentrations of trace metals dissolved in surface seawater collected at sampling stations along the ferry track between Osaka and Okinawa was performed by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry). The surface seawater samples were collected by an automated sampling system for on-board sampling, which was installed on the bottom of a ferryboat. A part of each seawater sample was filtered with a membrane filter (pore size of 0.45 microm) immediately after sampling. Both filtered and non-filtered seawater samples were acidified to pH ca. 1 by adding conc. HNO3, and were subjected to chelating resin preconcentration for the determination of trace metals by ICP-MS, where the concentrations of analyte metals in the filtered and non-filtered seawater samples were referred to as the dissolved and total concentrations, respectively. According to the thus-obtained results, it was found that most trace metals, especially below the 0.01 microg l(-1) as the dissolved and total concentrations, sensitively reflected the environmental pollution in the Osaka Bay and Seto Inland Sea area, as well as near to the Bungo Canal and the outlet of Kagoshima Bay.

Understanding the trace metal marine geochemistry of temporally variable coastal systems requires intensive sampling programs with attendant analytical burdens. Most established techniques for multi-element trace metal determinations are slow, require a skilled chemist, and are not easily automated. Advances in sample introduction systems and ICP-MS instrumentation now provide marine chemists w...

متن کاملAn improved method for rapid preconcentration and determination of bioactive trace metals in seawater using solid phase extraction and high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
Investigating how bioactive trace metals influence the cycling of macro-nutrients and carbon in oceanic and neritic environments is hindered by the labor-intensive and slow metal preconcentration methods currently available. We describe here a solid phase extraction method that rapidly preconcentrates a suite of bioactive trace metals from seawater. The ligand Ž . Ž . Ž bis 2-hydroxyethyl dithi...
