The macrophorous hydrophobic sorbent Amberlite XAD-2 proved to be well suited to the preconcentration of minority amounts of Al, Au, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, Ti and V in the form of their chelates with organic reagents. From among 14 reagents tested, 8-hydroxyquinoline and diethyldithiocarbamate appeared most suitable for the quantitative sorption up to level of 1 μg l-1 of analyte. Emission spectrometry served as the analytical finish; the nitrous oxide-acetylene flame, electric arc and inductively coupled argon plasma were chosen according to the nature of the element. The procedure is convenient for the determination of the minority analytes in waters

A method of measuring the mass fraction of potassium and sodium oxides in the dust filters of electric arc furnaces by atomic emission  spectrometry  with  the  inductively  coupled  plasma  (AES-ICP)  was  developed.  Possibilities  of  atomic  emission spectrometers of iCAP series for determination of potassium and sodium in dust of filters of electric arc furnaces are investigated.A method for converting potassium and sodium oxides into solution is proposed. Calibration of the spectrometer was carried out on aqueous solutions with a known concentration of potassium and sodium. For the preparation of calibration solutions, chemically pure potassium and sodium salts were used. Analytical lines of potassium and sodium free from spectral overlays are selected.A good correlation of calibration graphs is obtained. The developed technique is used to determine the mass fraction of potassium and sodium oxides in the dust filters of electric furnaces. Validation of the methodology was carried out. The repeatability of the results was compared with the repeatability of the standardized methodology. iCAP series spectrometers can be used to determine the mass of potassium and sodium oxides in gas cleaning dust.s cleaning dust.

A sensitive method is described for the determination of trace amounts of tin, based on continuous sodium borohydride reduction of tin in solution to gaseous stannane. The stannane generated is introduced into a relatively low-powered (1.6 kW) inductively coupled argon plasma source. The effects of a range of acids and interelement effects are investigated. Mixtures of nitric and succinic acids and of nitric and malic acids are the most suitable reaction media, especially in the presence of interferents. The method of standard additions is recommended for accurate tin determination. Compared to a conventional solution nebulization, the present system gives a sensitivity increase of a factor of approximately 3 orders of magnitude. The detection limit for tin is 0.05 ng/ml and precision values at 20 and 50 ng/ml Sn are less than 3% relative standard deviation. The linear calibration range spans nearly 5 orders of magnitude. The proposed method is applied to the determination of tin in low alloyed steels and in National Bureau of Standards standard reference materials (Cu-Ni alloy, orchard leaves, wheat flour, and rice flour).
