Preliminary Group

The sorption of Hg (II), Cd (II), and As (III) by natural aluminosilicate is studied. It is shown that the mineral absorbs those toxicants in a rather wide pH range, quantitative extraction of analytes being achieved in a neutral or close to neutral medium (pH values range within 7.0 - 8.0; 6.3 - 7.5; 7.4 - 8.5 for Hg (II), As (III), and Cd (II), respectively). The effect of the time of phase contact on the degree of extraction of elements is shown. The sorption capacity of the mineral in optimal conditions of the medium acidity (0.06 mmol/g for mercury, 0.31 mmol/g for cadmium, and 0.52 mmol/g for arsenic) is determined. The distribution coefficients attain values of aboutnX 103-nX 104. A new combined method for determination of Hg (II), Cd (II), and As (III) in natural and waste water is developed and tested. The method consists in a preliminary group sorption concentration of the analytes by aluminosilicate, desorption of the analytes from the surface of the mineral and their subsequent atomic absorption determination. The correctness of the method is verified in analysis of spiked samples. The method is easy to use and exhibits high sensitivity, reproducibility and accuracy of analyte determination. The relative standard deviation does not exceed 0.13. Economic availability and possibility of using domestic sorption materials are the important advantages of the proposed procedure which can be used in the practice of laboratories monitoring the quality and safety of environmental objects.

Hcl Medium

In HCl medium and in the presence of CuSO4, Na3AsO4 can be reduced by NaH2PO2 to form As nanoparticles (AsNs) which exhibited a strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 370 nm. Under the chosen conditions, the increased intensity at 370 nm was linear to As5+ concentration in the range of 0.48-38.0×10-6 mol/L, with a regression equation of ΔI370nm = 82.3 CAs + 33.9, a correlation coefficient of 0.9878 and a detection limit of 2.0×10-7 mol/L As5+. The proposed method was applied to detect As5+ concentration in waste water, with simplicity, rapidity and accuracy. Thus, a novel RRS spectral method was established to determine As5+.
