In this work, a method for sequential multi-element determination of Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn, Al, Cr and Sn in B7-diesel oil samples by high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS F AAS) was proposed. The sample preparation was based on formation of microemulsion (ME), which was investigated through a three-phase diagram. The ME composition adopted was B7-diesel oil (3.3 g), aqueous phase containing nitric acid (1.4 mol L-1, 300 μL) and n-propanol (up to 10 mL). The use of surfactant Triton X-100 in the formation of ME was also evaluated. Limits of detection in the range of 0.01 – 0.4 mg kg-1 were obtained. Spike-recovery tests were accomplished and the results varied between 93 and 124%. The accuracy of the proposed method was confirmed by the analysis of certified reference material (CRM) NIST SRM 1084a (Wear-Metals in Lubricating Oil); there was no statistical difference between the obtained results and the certified values (at 95% confidence level). Twelve B7-diesel oil samples were analyzed and Cu, Fe and Cr were found in three samples. The proposed method was simple, fast and accurate. The sequential multi-element determination of trace elements presented advantages as low costs and reduction in analysis time, being appropriate for routine analysis.

A rapid, accurate, and high performance method of high resolution sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS) combined with a small-size sample (0.1 mL) preparation was established. The method was validated and applied for the determination of 16 selected plasma trace elements (Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, B, Al, Se, Sr, V, Cr, Mn, Co, As, Mo, Cd, and Pb). The linear working ranges were over three intervals, 0-1 μg/L, 0–10 μg/L and 0–100 μg/L. Correlation coefficients (R2) ranged from 0.9957 to 0.9999 and the limits of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 0.02 μg/L (Rb) to 1.89 μg/L (Se). The trueness (or recovery) spanned from 89.82% (Al) to 119.15% (Se) and precision expressed by the relative standard deviation (RSD %) for intra-day ranging from 1.1% (Zn) to 9.0% (Se), while ranged from 3.7% (Fe) to 12.7% (Al) for interday. A total of 440 plasma samples were collected from Chinese National Nutrition and Health Survey Project 2002 (CNNHS 2002), which represented the status of plasma trace elements for the children aged 3–12 years from China economical developed rural areas. The concentrations of 16 trace elements were summarized and compared by age groups and gender, which can be used as one of the basic components for the formulation of the baseline reference values of trace elements for the children in 2002.
