چکیده

This simple, rapid, sensitive, reliable, and economical assay for bismuth in plasma, erythrocytes, and urine is based on atomic absorption spectrophotometry with hydride generation. Acid digestion eliminates the problem of foaming, which hitherto has complicated such assay of bismuth in plasma and erythrocytes. The detection limit of the assay has been improved to 0.1 micrograms/L, as compared with a previously documented limit of 2.5 micrograms/L. Average recovery exceeded 95% in all biological fluids. Economy of use derives from elimination of need for electrodeless discharge lamps and atomic absorption grade borohydride. Determination of basal concentrations of bismuth in clinical samples of body fluids gave reference intervals of 0.1-3.5 micrograms/L for plasma, 0.3-4.6 micrograms/L for urine.

Determination of trace amounts of total arsenic in environmental samples by hydride generation flow injection-AAS using a mixed acid as a pretreatment agent.

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...

Arsenic and antimony determination in refined and unrefined table salts by means of hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry–comparison of sample decomposition and determination methods

An evaluation was made of different digestion methods for the determination of arsenic and antimony in table salt samples prior to hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometric analysis. Microwave acid digestion, classical wet digestion, dry ashing, and fusion were applied to the decomposition of salt samples and optimum conditions were investigated. Samples were decomposed by changing hea...

Determination of inorganic arsenic in marine food samples by hydrochloric acid distillation and flow-injection hydride-generation atomic absorption spectrometry.

A simple, rapid, and reliable method was developed for determination of inorganic As in biological samples such as fish fillet. Inorganic AS was distilled from the sample as AsCl3 with HCl. The separated inorganic AS was determined by flow-injection hydride-generation atomic absorption spectrometry after prereduction with KI and HCl. The influences of various concentrations of KI, ascorbic acid...
