Atomic spectrometry update. Elemental speciation review

Atomic spectrometry update. Review of advances in the analysis of metals, chemicals and functional materials

“…This method is based on extraction induced by emulsion breaking in which the elements of interest are transferred to an aqueous phase before measurement by FAAS. In the method, each sample of used lubricating oil was diluted with toluene (20% v/v) and the resulting solution was emulsied with a Triton X-114 solution containing HNO 3 . The water-in-oil emulsion was then broken by centrifugation for 30 min at 3500 rpm, producing a system with two well-separated phases; the upper phase containing the used lubricating oil diluted in toluene and the lower aqueous phase containing the analytes that were extracted from oil.…”

Speciation of trace metals and metalloids by solid phase extraction with spectrometric detection: a critical review

“…The kinetic model of Hg-IIPs was found to be suitable for the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The proposed IIP showed a good reusability (10 adsorption-desorption cycles) and excellent selectivity (selectivity factors, [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] toward Hg(II) over organic Hg compounds and other metal ions. Thus, by using IIPs-SPE-AFS, LOQ for Hg(II) and organic Hg were 15 ng L −1 and 20 ng L −1 , respectively.…”

Tributyltin—critical pollutant in whole water samples—development of traceable measurement methods for monitoring under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC

“…In the last years, the number of publications dealing with tributyltin decreased (Clough et al 2013). With the release of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC and the related directive on environmental quality standards in the field of water policy 2008/105/EC, the need for a sensitive reference method to detect and quantify tributyltin (TBT) in whole water bodies at a very low concentration level was highlighted.…”
