Cu NPs in the form of Cu–BSA NCs are used as reductant to convert Hg2+to Hg0which is subsequently quantified by CVAAS and on-line FI-ICPMS.

Abstract A rapid procedure, based on closed vessels microwave digestion and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), was evaluated to ascertain the effect of chronic exposure to cadmium on intracellular accumulation of minor and essential trace elements in cultured epithelial cells (Caco-2 TC7). For all measurements, the method of external calibration was used and 3 elements (Be, Sc, In) were selected as internal standards. Optimization procedures are discussed and results are presented for the total determination of 9 key analytes (Na, Mg, Ca, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo, and Cd) in certified reference materials (CRMs) and 20 samples of Caco-2 TC7 cells long-term exposed to Cd. The performance characteristics of the analytical system were evaluated by calibration and linearity, limits of detection and quantitation, accuracy with spiking, trueness and repeatability with available CRMs. As a complement to the ICP-MS determinations, both available CRMs and cell samples were analyzed either by electro thermal-or flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The results were in good agreement with the ICP-MS results.

Ultra Trace

Background: Platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh) and iridium (Ir) are platinum group elements (PGEs) and also important elements of geochemistry and environmental chemistry with the similar physic-chemical properties, which have been widely used in industry and laboratory. However, due to the low abundance and inhomogeneous distribution in natural ore as well as the nugget effect, the accurate determination of PGEs has been a challenge to analytical chemistry. Methods: In this work, a novel fire assay method was reported for the determination of ultra-trace Pt, Pd, Rh and Ir in geochemical samples. Tin powder (Sn) instead of stannic oxide (SnO2) was used as fire assay collector to reduce the melting temperature from 1250 oC to 1050 oC, the escape of molten material caused by high temperature was successfully avoided. Tin bead was compressed into thin slice and dissolved by HCl. For the target Pt, Pd, Rh and Ir, HCl insoluble substance such as PtSn4, PdSn4, RhSn4 and Ir3Sn7 were formed and separated from matrix by filtering. The metal compounds precipitate together with filter paper were microwave-assisted completely digested by aqua regia (50%, v/v), thence the sample solution were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results: Compared with nickel oxide and lead oxide in nickel sulfide /lead fire assay, the reagent blank of tin powder were relatively low and could be directly employed in tin fire assay to collect Pt, Pd, Rh and Ir without purifying. Moreover, the harm of nickel oxide and lead oxide to the analyst and environment was avoided by using the non-toxic tin powder. The decomposition method of chromite and black shale were investigated as well as the amount of tin powder and flour, microwave digestion program for the determination of Pt, Pd, Rh and Ir were optimized. Besides, the influence of mass spectrum interference of co-existing elements was discussed and the standard mode and kinetic energy discrimination collision pool mode were compared. Under the optimal conditions, excellent curve fitting of Pt, Pd, Rh and Ir were obtained between 0.01～100 ng mL-1 , with the correlation coefficients exceeding 0.9996. The detection limits were from 0.003 ng g -1 to 0.057 ng g -1 . Conclusion: The developed method was applied to analyze the Chinese Certified Reference Materials and the determined values were in good agreement with the certified values.
