RESUMO
A new and selective Cu(ll) ion imprinted polymer was prepared by formation of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol complex for selective extraction and preconcentration of Cu ions. Polymerization was performed with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinking monomer and methacrylic acid as a functional monomer in the presence of 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) as an initiator via a bulk polymerization method. The Cu(ll) imprinted polymeric particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and IR spectrometry. The imprint Cu ion was removed from the polymeric matrix using 2 M HNO3. Optimum pH for maximum sorption was 5-8. Maximum sorbent capacity and the enrichment factor for Cu(ll) were 11.3 mg/g and 100, respectively. The RSD and LOD of the method were evaluated as +/-4.3% and 8.7 ng/L, respectively. The proposed method is simple, highly selective, and sensitive and can be applied to the determination of ultratrace amounts of Cu in water, biological, and agricultural samples.

A new and sensitive SPE method using modified carbon nanotubes for extraction and preconcentration, and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of nickel (Ni) in real samples at ng/L levels was investigated. First, multiwalled carbon nanotubes were oxidized with concentrated HNO3, then modified with 2-(5-bormo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol reagent. The adsorption was achieved quantitatively on a modified carbon nanotubes column in a pH range of 6.5 to 8.5; the adsorbed Ni(II) ions were then desorbed by passing 5.0 mL of 1 M HNO3. The effects of analytical parameters, including pH of the solution, eluent type and volume, sample volume, flow rate of the eluent, and matrix ions, were investigated for optimization of the presented procedure. The enrichment factor was 180, and the LOD for Ni was 4.9 ng/L. The method was applied to the determination of Ni in water, food, and biological samples, and reproducible results were obtained.

In the present work, a batch preconcentration technique using nanoclay with 5-(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)rhodanine coupled with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry was developed for the separation and determination of trace amounts of palladium. In this method, the sample solution was stirred with nanoclay as an adsorbent. Then, adsorbed palladium was subsequently eluted with HCl in acetone (1.5 mol L−1) and, finally, this eluate was injected to electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Under the optimum conditions, the limit of detection and linear dynamic range were found to be 2.6 and 10.0133 ng L−1 (in original solution), respectively. Furthermore, the enrichment factor and relative standard deviation of seven replicate determinations were 148 and ±5.1 %, respectively. This suggested method is simple, selective and sensitive and can be applied to the extraction and determination of palladium in water, tea leaves, synthetic sample and certified reference material with satisfactory results.

The present research reports on the application of modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a new, easily prepared, and stable solid sorbent for the column preconcentration of ultra-trace amounts of cadmium in aqueous solution. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were oxidized with concentrated HNO3 and modified with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol and then were used as a solid phase for the column preconcentration of Cd(II). Elution was carried out with 0.5 mol L(-1) HNO3. The amount of eluted Cd(II) was measured using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Various parameters such as pH, sample and eluent flow rate, eluent concentration, breakthrough volume, and interference of a great number of anions and cations on the retention of analyte on sorbent were studied. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the range of 0.67 ng L(-1) to 5.0 µg L(-1) and the detection limit (3Sb, n = 7) was 0.14 ng L(-1) in initial solution. A preconcentration factor of 300 and relative standard deviations of ± 3.6 % for seven successive determinations of 3 ng of Cd(II) were achieved. The column preconcentration was successfully applied to the analysis of river water, waste water, and Persian Gulf water sample.

A new, simple, and efficient method comprising ligandless dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry is reported for the preconcentration and determination of ultratrace amounts of Fe(III). Carbon tetrachloride and acetone were used as the extraction and disperser solvents, respectively. Some effective parameters of the microextraction such as choice of extraction and disperser solvents, their volume, extraction time and temperature, salt and surfactant effect, and pH were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.02 to 0.46 microg/L of Fe(III), with LOD and LOQ of 5.2 and 17.4 ng/L, respectively. The RSD for seven replicated determinations of Fe(IIl) ion at 0.1 microg/L concentration level was 5.2%. Operational simplicity, rapidity, low cost, good repeatability, and low consumption of extraction solvent are the main advantages of the proposed method. The method was successfully applied to the determination of iron in biological, food, and certified reference samples.

A new modified carbon paste electrode based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and a synthesized Schiff base of N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,2'(aminophenylthio) ethane, acting as a chelating agent for Ag(I) ions, is described. The electroanalytical procedure for the determination of Ag(I) was comprised of two steps: the chemical accumulation of the analyte under open-circuit conditions followed by replacing the medium with a 0.1 M HCl solution where the accumulated Ag(I) was reduced for 20 s in -0.7 V. The potential was then scanned from -0.2 to +0.2 V to obtain the voltammetric peak. The effective parameters in the sensor response were examined. Under optimized operational conditions, a linear response range from 0.5-200 ng mL(-1) was obtained. The detection limit for silver determination was 0.092 ng mL(-1). For 7 successive determinations of 15.0 and 60.0 ng mL(-1) of Ag(I), relative standard deviations of 2.2% and 1.2% were obtained, respectively. The procedure was applied in determining Ag(I) in X-ray photographic films and water samples.
RESUMO
Mercury (II) and methyl mercury cations at the Sub-ppb level were adsorbed quantitatively from aqueous solution onto an octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disk modified by 2-[(2-mercaptophyenylimino)methyl] phenol (MPMP). The trapped mercury was then eluted with 3ml ethanol and Hg2+ ion was directly measured by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry, utilizing tin (II) chloride. Total mercury (Hgt) was determined after conversion of MeHg+ into Hg2+ ion by electron beam irradiation. A sample volume of 1500ml resulted in a preconcentration factor of 500 and the precision for a sampling volume of 500ml at a concentration of 2.5microgl(-1) (n=7) was 3.1%. The limit of detection of the proposed method is 3.8ngl(-1). The method was successfully applied to analysis of water samples, and the accuracy was assessed via recovery experiment.
