This work proposes the use of photo-oxidation degradation with UV radiation/H2O2 as sample treatment for the determination of Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni and Co in municipal solid waste landfill leachate by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Three variables (pH, irradiation time and buffer concentration) were optimized using Doehlert design and the proportions of mixture components submitted to UV radiation (leachate sample, buffer solution and H2O2 30%, v/v) were optimized using a constrained mixture design. Using the experimental conditions established, this procedure allows limits of detection of 0.075, 0.025, 0.010, 0.075 and 0.041 µg mL-1, and the precision levels expressed as relative standard (%RSD, 0.5 µg mL-1) were 3.6, 1.8, 1.3, 3.3 and 1.7%, for Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni and Co respectively. Recovery tests were carried out for evaluation of the procedure accuracy and recoveries were between 92 and 106% for the studied metals. This procedure has been applied for the analysis of the landfill leachate collected in Jequié, a city of the southwestern region of the State of Bahia, Brazil. The results were compared with those obtained by acid digestion. There was no significant difference between the results obtained by the two methods based on paired t-test at 95% confidence level.

Abstract A simple and rapid dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop method prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed for preconcentration and determination of copper. In this technique, simultaneous complex formation and extraction was performed with rapid injection of a mixture containing ethanol, 1-undecanol, and 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol into a water sample spiked with Cu(II). After centrifugation, the test tube was cooled in an ice bath, and solidified extract transferred into a conical vial. Finally, it was dissolved into ethanol and copper concentration was determined. Some effective parameters of extraction and complex formation, such as extraction and disperser solvent type and volume, pH, concentration of the chelating agent, salt effect, and extraction time, were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the range of 0.50 ng/mL to 0.30 μg/mL, with an LOD of 0.16 ng/mL. The RSD for 10 replicate measurements of 50.0 ng/mL of copper was ±1.4%. Two certified reference materials were analyzed, and the determined values were in good agreement with the certified values.
