Direct Speciation Analysis of Sb(III) and Sb(V) Based on Their Different Sensitivities for GFAAS

Atomic spectrometry update. Elemental speciation

“…It has been proposed that an ETV-AAS speciation method could be developed by utilising the very great difference in sensitivities for Sb species obtained in the presence of complexing reagents (DDC, APDC and thenoyltrifluoroacetone). 113 The basis of the method is the loss of one species during the ashing stage. This concept has been exploited for Cr speciation by ICP-MS with sample introduction by ETV.…”

Neodymium(III) Hydroxide Coprecipitation-FAAS System for the Speciation of Chromium in Natural Waters

“…The speciation of metals in environmental samples is critical for assessing their potential environmental impact before disposal (1,2). In particular, the accurate determination of different ionic species of elements at trace levels, such as Cr(III) and Cr(VI), Sb(III) and Sb(V), or As(III) and As(V), is very important because each ionic species has a different toxicology (3)(4)(5)(6). Because of the different toxicology of Cr(III) and Cr(VI), the speciation study of chromium is very important (7)(8)(9)(10).…”
