an efficient, rapid, simple, and highly selective dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction basedon solidification of floating organic drop (dllme-sfod), combined with flame atomicabsorption spectrometry was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amountsof cobalt in water samples. in this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and1-undecanol was injected rapidly into the aq...

BACKGROUND Based on the noticeable toxicity and numerous application of mercury in industries, removal of mercury vapor through sorbent is an important environmental challenge. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Due to their highly porous and hollow structure, large specific surface area, light mass density and strong interaction, Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) sorbent were selected for this inves...

Monitoring of mercury in environmental samples, with its proven toxicity on the food chain, requires sensitive and accurate analytical techniques. In this study, two methods for identification and quantification of total mercury in biological and sediment samples are compared: i) dry ash preparation and subsequent established procedures for Combustion Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, (AMA 254) ...

a simple and rapid microextraction procedure based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (dllme) was developed for determination and speciation of trace amounts of chromium (cr) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas). in the proposed approach, chloroform and methanol were used as extraction and dispersive solvents. a new schiff's base ligand, bis(2-methoxy benzaldehyde) ethylene d...

pb and cd in water samples were determined by cloud point extraction (cpe) with sodiumdiethyldithiocarbamate (ddtc) as the chelating agent and octylphenoxypolyethanl (triton x-114) asthe surfactant prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas) determination. the main factorsof affecting the extraction and detection processes were optimized. the preconcentration of 10 ml ofstandard soluti...

Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is capable of metal imaging by acquiring local spatial information. However, the preparation an appropriate standard for quantitative analysis difficult because matrices between and sample should match, homogeneity concentration in required. Hence, aim this study was to establish a highly mercury method that utilizes LA-ICP...

The activity of polonium (210)Po and uranium (234)U, (238)U radionuclides, as well as trace metals in mosses, collected from Sobieszewo Island area (northern Poland), were determined using the alpha spectrometry, AAS (atomic absorption spectrometry) and OES-ICP (atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma). The concentrations of mercury (directly from the solid sample) were det...

A procedure using an automated microwave flow digestion technique was developed and validated for the digestion of samples of certifiable color additives before mercury determination by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry. Recovery studies were performed by spiking most of the color additives subject to batch certification by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with inorganic mercury (H...
