the aim of this study was to determine and compare the concentration of copper (cu) in liver and muscle of two fish species squalius cephalus and capoeta capoeta gracilis. the fish were caught in four sampling sites along tajan river, mazandaran province, northern iran. the concentration of cu was determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. there were significant differences (p

Acacia nilotica (Thorn mimosa) is used locally for various medicinal purposes by traditionalists and herbalists in northeastern Nigeria. Plants products have been used since ancient times in the management of various conditions. The bark of A. nilotica has been reported to be used traditionally to manage diabetes, dysentery, leprosy, ulcers, cancers, tumor of the eye, ear and ...

in this study, a sensitive method of dispersive liquid phase microextraction based on ion-pair combined with the flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed for the determination of trace ni(ii) using aliquat 336-chloride as ion pair agent. several factors which have effect on  the microextraction efficiency of ni(ii), such as ph, extraction and dispersive solvent type and their volume, c...

An evaluation of the performance of a continuous flow hydride generator-nebulizer for flame atomic absorption spectrometry was carried out. Optimization of nebulizer gas flow rate, sample acid concentration, sample and tetrahydroborate uptake rates and reductant concentration, on the As and Se absorbance signals was carried out. A hydrogen-argon flame was used. An improvement of the analytical ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was the validation of a new analytical method based on the high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the fast-sequential determination of several hazardous/priority hazardous metals (Ag, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in soil after microwave assisted digestion in aqua regia. Determinations were performed on the ContrAA 300 (Analyt...

This article describes the concept of controlling and correcting interference resulting from flame instability and sample reduction in absorption atomic spectrometry with flame atomization. Using popular laboratory spectrometers, which enable simultaneous or fast sequential measurements of many elements in the course of a single analysis, methods of controlling and correcting problems with inst...

a number of researches have been performed in the field of elemental analysis of fruitsfrom different areas of iran and there is a vast unstudied area in this field. in this study, seven mineral elements such as na, k, ca, mg, fe, zn and cu in the tree soil, citrus limunum juice of gorgan and iranshahr gardens and citrus limetta juice of gorgan and bandarabas gardens were determined by flame ph...

extraction of trace amounts of toxic heavy metals from complicated environmental matrixes is a  challenging task. the aim of this investigation is the comparison of the extraction efficiencies and other related experimental variables ( chemicals, effect of ph, potential interfering ions) on the determination of inorganic lead ( ) which is present in waste water of dye industries. compared techn...

the application of sulfur nanoparticles as an efficient adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction and determination of the trace amounts of pb and pd ions was investigated in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. effects of various parameters such as ph, flow rate of sample and eluent, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent and interferin...
