Analytical techniques for the determination of bismuth in solid environmental samples

Simultaneous voltammetric determination of trace bismuth(III) and cadmium(II) in water samples by adsorptive stripping voltammetry in the presence of cupferron

“…Bismuth compounds have been used in many different areas of life, e.g. semiconductors, cosmetic products, medicines, alloys, catalysts in the chemical industry, metallurgical additives, and in recycling of uranium nuclear fuels [2][3][4][5][6]. Both physical and chemical properties of cadmium have been implemented in a wide range of technological applications, e.g.…”

Total content of As, Sb, Se, Te and Bi in Spanish vegetables, cereals and pulses and estimation of the contribution of these foods to the Mediterranean daily intake of trace elements

“…Bismuth is not an essential element for plants and animals (Tokman & Akman, 2004). With the extensive use of Bi in different areas of life, it has been distributed in the environment and the chance of exposure of this element to organisms has also increased (Das, Chakraborty, Cervera, & de la Guardia, 2006).…”

A new sorbent based on MWCNTs modification for separation/preconcentration of trace amounts of Cd(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) and their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

“…However, direct determination of heavy metals is often not sensitive enough to determine heavy metal ions in environmental samples because of their low concentrations, which are near or below the detection limit of the instrument, and matrix interferences. Therefore, a preconcentration and/or separation of analytes is frequently necessary to improve the analytical detection limit, increasing the sensitivity, facilitating the calibration, enhancing the accuracy of the results, and simplifying the matrix of the sample (Baghban et al 2012;Das et al 2006;Hu et al 2002a;2002b;Palanivelu et al 1992;Prasad et al 2006;Rajesh and Manikandan 2008;Soylak et al 2003).…”
