Abstract A separation and preconcentration method is described for the determination of copper, nickel, cobalt, lead, iron and cadmium in natural water and some salt samples by flame AAS. The analyte trace metal ions in the samples were sorbed as xylenol orange complexes on Amberlite XAD-16 column at the pH range of 7–9, and then eluted with 1M HNO3 in acetone. The effect of pH, reagent amount, sample volume, and matrix of the sample on the sorption of metal ions has also been investigated. The concentration of analyte ions detected after separation/and preconcentration was in agreement with the added amount of ions. The present method was found to be applicable to the preconcentration of analyte ions in natural water and some salt samples with good results such as relative standard deviations from 3 to 10% (N = 10).

Abstract Sudan Red B, an azo dye, was used as a reagent for the complexation of Ni and Co ions. The studies were carried out spectrophotometrically. The absorption spectra were monitored and the conditions were optimized in terms of dye and metal concentration, pH, and cationic and anionic effects. The log β (stability constants) of the metal–dye complex were calculated using Job's method and these were of the order of 5.5 and 5.6 for Co2+ and Ni2+ complex respectively.

Abstract Polished samples of Cu, Zn and two brasses (CuZn10 and CuZn30) have been treated in synthetic air with 80% relative humidity (RH) and alternatively with 250 ppb SO2 added to the moist air stream in a weathering box. Depth profiles of the corroded surfaces were made with dynamic-SIMS and the courses of the S- and O-signals were traced. The decay of the S- and the O-signal exhibited different behavior. While the O-signal decreased continuously through the corroded layer, the S-signal decreased much faster until it reached the background level at the half of the thickness of the altered layer. Surface features could be found with comparative TM-AFM-measurements that confirmed these SIMS results. The height of these features (measured with TM-AFM) matched with the determined thickness of the S enriched layer.

Abstract In this study, the preconcentration of Pb2+ using a conical minicolumn packed with activated carbon (AC) was studied for preconcentration of Pb2+. The experiments showed that Pb2+ reacts with 8-hydroxyquinoline to form a complex at pH 10.0 and can be retained “on-line” on a conical minicolumn packed with activated carbon, then eluted with 20% (v/v) nitric acid. The conditions for the quantitative and reproducible preconcentration and subsequent ICP-OES determination with ultrasonic nebulization system (USN) were studied. A total enhancement factor (N) of 500 was obtained with respect to ICP-OES using pneumatic nebulization (10 for USN and 50 for enrichment factor) for a sample volume of 25 mL. The detection limit (DL) was 0.04 µg L−1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) were 3.0%. The optimized procedure was successfully applied to the determination of trace levels of Pb+2 in bee honey samples.

Abstract Using the freshly precipitated metal diethyl dithiocarbamates Mn(DDTC)2, Zn(DDTC)2, Cd(DDTC)2, Fe(DDTC)3, Co(DDTC)2, Cu(DDTC)2, Ni(DDTC)2, Pb(DDTC)2 and Hg(DDTC)2 as reagents, a new solid phase extraction method (SPE) has been described for the selective extraction of Mn(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II) ions in aqueous system. These reagents show excellent selectivity for the extraction of metal ions with higher conditional stability constants (or extraction constants). As an example the application of these reagents has been carried out, where freshly precipitated Ni(DDTC)2 was used for the preconcentration of copper in aqueous system prior to its determination by FAAS.

Abstract The suitability of derivative spectrophotometry for examination of complexation equilibria was elaborated by the determination of stability constants of Zn-PAR and Pd-PAR complexes. Derivatization minimized the influence of an excess of a colored reagent on the absorbance of the complex and allowed the direct measurement of its true value. The stability constants determined using two different methods were compared with available published data. In the case of the Zn(PAR)2 complex the error of determination did not exceed ± 5%.

Abstract The concentrations of heavy metals in the street dust samples collected from Tokat, Turkey have been determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry after wet and microwave digestion. Good accuracy was assured by the analysis of standard reference material. Recoveries were nearly quantitative for all elements studied (≥ 95%). The mean concentration levels of Pb, Ni, Cd, Zn, Mn, Cu, Co, and Cr were found to be 149, 65, 3.0, 63, 285, 29, 20, and 30 µg/g, respectively. The concentrations of heavy metals in the samples vary depending on the traffic density.

Abstract Marine sediment, seawater and several species of seaplants along the Kenya-Mombasa coastal region were analyzed to determine the levels of heavy metals by AAS and EDXRF and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) by GLC-ECD. In marine sediments, there were high levels of manganese (1100 µg/L) at Vanga, compared to other study sites. In seawater, the heavy metals were detected in levels higher than those considered as natural in the ocean and the range was 0.01–0.30 mg/L. OCPs were detected in marine sediments and in seaplants. The trend of concentration of these pollutants in ascending order in seawater, marine sediment and seaplants was observed.

Abstract Computer Axial Tomography (CAT) maps the distribution of the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) over a section or over an entire object. LAC represents the product between density and mass attenuation coefficient (MAC). These parameters are influenced in complete different manners by porosity provided that pore sizes are much smaller than voxels: density lineally decreases with porosity while MAC is almost independent of it. Consequently, in the case of single energy tomography, CAT images will be strongly influenced by the porosity. In the case of dual-energy tomography, when it results for the same section two CAT images, one depicting density and the other one the effective atomic number distributions, only the first one will reflect the sample porosity while the second one remains independent of the specimen porosity. This fact could be very useful in investigating complex samples such as rocks or soils.
