Online Preconcentration Procedure for Chromium Speciation and Determination in Industrial Water Samples Using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

An online preconcentration system based on solid-phase extraction was developed for speciation and determinations of Cr in industrial water samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. A minicolumn packed with Amberlite XAD-16 loaded with salicylic acid was used to preconcentrate chromium species. All flow and chemical parameters that influence sorption were studied. The preconcentration factor and detection limit for the preconcentration time of 120 s were 79 and 0.10 μg L -1 , respectively. The concentration of Cr(VI) species was calculated by the difference of the total Cr and Cr(III). The relative standard deviation (RSD) (five replicate of measurements) for 50 and 100 μg L -1 Cr(III) solution was 1.2 and 1.0% respectively. The accuracy of the method was verified by analyzing a standard reference material (NIST SRM 1640a, trace elements in natural water). The proposed preconcentration method was successfully applied to the determination of Cr species in industrial water samples with satisfactory results.

Phosphomethylated Polyethyleneimine-immobilized Chelating Resin: Role of Phosphomethylation Rate on Solid-Phase Extraction of Trace Elements

“…Solid-phase extraction using PM2-PEI resin seems to be applicable to the separation and preconcentration of REEs, except for Tm, Yb, and Lu, in artificial seawater and NIST SRM 1515 Apple Leaves; further study regarding the improvement of the solid-phase extraction of Tm, Yb, and Lu is needed. Since solid-phase extraction is useful for on-site or on-line separation and preconcentration, [12][13][14][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] such attempt is also important for PM-PEI resin.…”
