Flame atomic absorption determination of cobalt in water after extraction of its morpholinedithiocarbamate complex

Abstract

Este trabalho descreve um sistema de pré-concentração para cobalto utilizando a resina Amberlyst A-26 modificada com morfolinaditiocarbamato de amônio. O metal foi retido quantitativamente em uma coluna de vidro contendo 1,30 g da resina modificada com 6% (m/m) de reagente quelante, em pH 5,5. O complexo colorido formado foi dissolvido com etanol e analisado por espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama em 240,7 nm. A eluição do complexo com 10 mL de etanol permitiu um fator de pré-concentração igual a 25, sendo possível a re-utilização de uma mesma coluna. O limite de quantificação obtido foi de 2,0 μg L -1 com RSD de 2,9%. O estudo de concomitantes mostrou que somente Cd(II) e Ni(II) interferem no sistema. O método proposto é simples e de baixo custo, podendo ser usado para determinação de cobalto em águas naturais.A preconcentration system for the determination of cobalt in water was developed. The studied system uses a glass column packed with Amberlyst A-26 resin modified with ammonium morpholinedithiocarbamate. The metal was quantitatively retained in the column containing 1.30 g of resin modified with 6% (m/m) of chelating reagent, at pH 5.5, resulting in a coloured complex which was eluted with 10.0 mL of ethanol. The final solution was analysed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry at 240.7 nm. Using these conditions a preconcentration factor of 25 was obtained and depending on the concentration of cobalt present in the solution it was possible to re-utilise the packed column several times. The limit of quantification was 2.0 μg L -1 with RSD of 2.9%. The foreign ions effect was studied and only Cd(II) and Ni(II) showed interference. The proposed method showed to be simple, of low cost, easy to handle and has been applied for the determination of cobalt in natural water samples.

Flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of trace amounts of cobalt after cloud point extraction as 2-[(2-Mercaptophenylimino)methyl]phenol complex

“…20, No. 5, 2009 for the separation and preconcentration of cobalt, including liquid-liquid extraction, 9,10 solid phase extraction, 11,12 coprecipitation, 13 and flotation. 14 In recent years, cloud point extraction (CPE) has become one of the most popular methods used in the separation and enrichment of metal ions.…”

Solid phase selective separation and green preconcentration of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd in drinking water by using novel functionalized resin

“…Solid-phase extraction has been performed using several solid materials, such as polyurethane foam [9][10][11][12], silica-gel [13], styrene-divinylbenzene [14,15], chitosan [16] and other sorbents [17]. Styrene-divinylbenzene is commercially available in the Amberlite XAD resin series.…”

Chromotropic acid‐functionalized polyurethane foam: A new sorbent for on‐line preconcentration and determination of cobalt and nickel in lettuce samples

“…Among these techniques, solid-phase extraction has been extensively used for separation and determination of trace elements. The use of polymeric solid supports functionalized with complexing reagents for solidphase extraction has resulted in very versatile systems for preconcentration and determination of cations in a wide range of samples [12][13][14]. Immobilization reduces problems of leaching of the ligand from the support; such sorbents can be used several times.…”
