V. F. Laurie, E. Villagra, J. Tapia, J. E. S. Sarkis, and Marcos A. Hortellani. 2010. Analysis of major metallic elements in Chilean wines by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Cien. Inv. Agr. 37(2): 77-85. A set of 75 wine samples from seven of the major wine producing regions in Chile were analyzed with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) to determine their content of major metallic eleme...

The atomic absorption of aluminum with air-acetylene flame was interfered by the formation of involatile compounds in the flame. Amines promoted the atomization of aluminum in the flame. Aluminum could be determined by atomic absorption spectrometry with an air-acetylene flame. The absorption of aluminum increased and then attained a constant value as the concentration of amines increased. The ...

anzali international wetland is one of the most valuable water resources as registered in ramsar convention with an extent of about 150 km2 in the south caspian sea. this wetland, not only has ecological and biological importance for migratory birds and rare fish species, but also is used for farms to discharge into the caspian sea through this wetland. therefore its pollution control is very i...

distribution and mobility of nine mineral elements (k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, cu, se, and cr) in cultured gentiana rigescens and its root zone soil were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. g. rigescens materials were planted under tea and white papaya trees in yun county and yongde of lincang area in yunnan province of china. the results showed that g. rigescens and its soil were high in...

background soil pollution due to toxic metals released by industrial activities such as cement production is a serious problem from the standpoints of the environment and public health, because they tend to persist, circulating indefinitely and, eventually, accumulating throughout the food chain. objectives this paper presents the results of the first research study into the distribution of cad...

steel slags are the by products of steel industries, which forms during reduction process of iron melting. the chemical composition of it changes depending to the melting procedure. its mineralogical composition also varies based on the cooling procedure. two different types of steel slag were used as absorbing bed for various concentrations of pb2+ ions in the form of lead chloride, and the co...

A new technique in atomic absorption spectroscopy is described, which replaces the use of a flame. Samples are injected into a cavity drilled transversely through a carbon rod, and subsequently dried, ashed, and atomized by the application of electric current. The resulting brief absorption signal is recorded and compared with standards. The procedure is particularly suitable for biological wor...

background and objectives: heavy metals such as cadmium and lead are the most important toxins spreading through various ways like water, soil, and air in nature and easily enter human food chain. it is essential to determine the cumulative and harmful effects of these metals in nutrients, especially in cow milk because it is a unique source of food for all ages and it contains both essential a...

in this work, a procedure for preconcentration of cobalt using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (dllme) with the reagent 1-nitroso 2-naphtol as complexing reagent was developed. at ph 4, co(ii) was complexed with 1-nitroso 2-naphtol and extracted into the fine droplets formed when mixing chloroform (extraction solvent), ethanol (disperser solvent) and the sample solution. after extracti...
