چکیده

A coupled system for arsenic speciation determination based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), on-line UV photooxidation and continuous-flow hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) was built from commercially available modules with minor modifications to the electronic interface, the software and the gas-liquid separator. The best results were obtained with strong anion-exchange columns, Hamilton PRP X-100 and Supelcosil SAX 1, and gradient elution with phosphate buffers containing KH2PO4-K2HPO4. The on-line UV photooxidation with alkaline peroxodisulfate, 4% m/v K2S2O8-1 mol l-1 NaOH, in a PTFE knotted reactor for 93 s ensures the transformation of inorganic AsIII, monomethylarsonate, dimethylarsinate, arsenobetaine, arsenocholine, trimethylarsine oxide and tetramethylarsonium ion to arsenate. About 32-36 HPLC-UV-HGAAS runs could be performed within 8 h, with limits of detection between 2 and 6 micrograms l-1 As, depending on the species. The method was applied to the analysis of spot urine samples and certified urine reference materials (CRMs). Upon storage at 4 degrees C, reconstituted CRMs are stable for at least 2 weeks with respect to both their total arsenic content and the individual species distribution.

Speciation of Arsenic(III)/Arsenic(V) and Selenium(IV)/Selenium(VI) Using Coupled Ion Chromatography– Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

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...
