ABSTRACT
In this paper, a green hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) composed of menthol and hexanoic acid was employed to dissolve cosmetics containing Cd2+ and Cd2+ was extracted using an EDTA-2Na saturated solution, analyzed by FAAS. The study found that HDES-1 can be recycled and reused well; the stability constants of Cd2+ EDTA chelates play an important role in the extracting process; the optimum conditions were: the solubility of HDES-1 was 20 mL/g for cosmetic sample at an indoor temperature of around 10 °C; the dissolver-extractant ratio was 2:1; the LOD was 0.037 mg/kg; the RSD was 3.5%; and the recovery was 85.5-118.3%. The developed method was successfully applied to actual cosmetic samples with satisfactory results, and it was also applied for the determination of Mg2+, Mn2+, and Cu2+ in cosmetic samples.
ABSTRACT
A new method for the determination of trace gold by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after preconcentration with p-dimethylaminobenzylidenerhodanine (DMABR) loaded with nanometer TiO2 was developed. The method is convenient, highly precise and linear in a wide range. Under dynamic condition, the optimum pH of solution, flow rate, elution conditions were obtained for preconcentration of trace gold. And the effect of interfering ions was also investigated. It was found that the studied gold could be quantitatively preconcentrated on loaded nanometer TiO2 at pH = 3.5, and the flow rate of sample solution was 0.6 mL x min(-1), and the flow rate of eluting solution with 0.1 mol x L(-1) HCl-0.5 mol x L(-1) thiourea was 0.5 mL x min(-1), sufficient for complete elution. The dynamic adsorption capacity of gold on load nanometer TiO2 was 23.19 mg x g(-1). The linear range for gold was 0-0.40 microg x mL(-1), correlation coefficient was 0. 999 3, detection limit (3sigma, n = 11) for gold was 2.34 ng x mL(-1), and the relative standard deviation was 2.9% (n = 6, c = 0.10 microg x mL(-1)), the recovery was in the range of 96.7%-101.7%. The method has been applied to the determination of trace gold in water samples with satisfactory results.
