Cr(VI) and Cr(III) speciation on Bacillus sphaericus loaded diaion SP-850 resin.

A speciation procedure for chromium(III) and chromium(VI) in the environmental samples has been established in the presented work. The procedure presented based on quantitative biosorption of chromium(III) on Bacillus sphaericus loaded Diaion SP-850 at pH 5. The Cr(VI) recoveries at pH 5 were below 5% on the biosorbent. After reduction of Cr(VI) by concentrated H(2)SO(4) and ethanol, the system was applied to the total chromium. Cr(VI) was calculated as the difference between the total chromium content and the Cr(III) content. Optimal analytical conditions including pH, amounts of biosorbent, etc. for Cr(III) recoveries were investigated. The influences of the some alkaline and earth alkaline ions and some transition metals on the recoveries were also investigated. The capacity of biosorbent for chromium(III) was 6.95 mgg(-1). The detection limit (3 sigma) of the reagent blank for chromium(III) was 0.50 microgL(-1). The procedure was successfully applied to the speciation of chromium(III) and chromium(VI) in natural water samples (R.S.D. lower than 5%, recoveries greater than 95%).

Adsorption of Pb(II) and Cr(III) from aqueous solution on Celtek clay.

This paper presents the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cr(III) from aqueous solution on Celtek clay. Batch experiments were carried out as a function of the adsorbent dosage, solution pH, shaking time, and temperature. The equilibrium data of fitted well with the linear Langmuir and Freundlich models. Dubinin-Radushkevick (D-R) isotherm model was applied to describe the nature of the adsorption of the metals, and found that it occurred physically. Thermodynamic parameters, the change in Gibbs free energy change (DeltaG degrees), enthalpy (DeltaH degrees) and entropy (DeltaS degrees) were also calculated. These parameters indicated that the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cr(III) on Celtek clay was feasible, spontaneous and exothermic process in nature. Based on the results, it was concluded that Celtek clay had a significant potential for removing Pb(II) and Cr(III) from wastewater using adsorption method.

Sorbent extraction of rubeanic acid-metal chelates on a new adsorbent: Sepabeads SP70.

A sorbent extraction procedure for lead, iron, cadmium and manganese ions on Sepabeads SP70 adsorption resin has been presented prior to their flame atomic absorption spectrometric determinations. By the passage of aqueous samples including analyte ions-rubeanic acid chelates through Sepabeads SP70 column, metal chelates adsorb quantitatively and almost all matrix elements will pass through the column to drain. The influence of potential interfering ions was also studied. The validation of the method was made though the analysis of LGC 6010 Hard drinking water, SRM 1577b Bovine liver and GBW 07603 Bush branches and leaves standard reference materials (SRM). The method was applied to the determination of analyte ions from various water, wastewater, cow meat and milk, red wine, and tobacco samples with successfully results.

Diaion SP-850 resin as a new solid phase extractor for preconcentration-separation of trace metal ions in environmental samples.

A solid phase extraction method was developed for the preconcentration and separation of trace amounts of chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, cadmium and lead from environmental samples by complexation with alpha-benzoin oxime followed by adsorption onto Diaion SP-850-solid phase extraction column. One molar per liter HNO(3) was used as eluent. The recoveries of analytes at pH 8.0 with 700 mg of resin were greater than 95% without interference from alkaline, earth alkaline and some metal ions. The detection limits by three sigma for analyte ions were 0.65 microg l(-1) for Cr(III), 0.42 microg l(-1) for Mn(II), 0.28 microg l(-1) for Fe(III), 0.73 microg l(-1) for Co(II), 0.30 microg l(-1) for Cu(II), 0.47 microg l(-1) for Cd(II) and 0.50 microg l(-1) for Pb(II). The validation of the procedure was performed by the analysis of the certified standard reference materials. The presented procedure was applied to the determination of analytes in tap, river and sea waters, rice, wheat, canned tomato and coal samples with successfully results (recoveries greater than 95%, R.S.D.'s lower than 8%).

Celtek clay as sorbent for separation-preconcentration of metal ions from environmental samples.

The sorption conditions including pH of the aqueous solution, sample volume, etc., on Celtek clay of copper(II), cadmium(II), lead(II), chromium(III), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) ions from environmental samples has been studied. The effects of electrolytes as matrix on the preconcentration were also investigated with the recoveries >95%. The 3 sigma detection limits for copper, cadmium, lead, chromium, nickel and cobalt ions were found to be 0.25, 0.32, 0.73, 0.45, 0.50 and 0.41 microg/l, respectively. The relative standard deviation was <10% for the determination of analytes. The procedure was validated by analysis of a NRCC-SLRS 4 Riverine Water, SRM 1573a Tomato leaves and IAEA 336 Lichen standard reference materials. The developed method was successively utilized for the determination of Cu(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Cr(III), Ni(II) and Co(II) in various samples including natural waters, wheat and human hair by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) with satisfactorily results (recoveries>95% and R.S.D.'s<10%).

Trace metal pollution from traffic in Denizli-Turkey during dry season.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the metal contents of date palm (Pheonix dactylifera) samples in dry season from Denizli-Turkey for investigation of heavy metal-polluted traffic. METHOD: The levels of iron, copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium, and manganese ions in the leaves of thirty five date palm (Pheonix dactylifera) samples collected from various levels of traffic in the streets of Denizli-Turkey were determined by graphite furnace or flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The wet, dry, and microwave digestion procedures for the date palm (Pheonix dactylifera) leaves were compared. The accuracy of the digestion procedures was checked using a standard reference material (IAEA-336 Lichen, SRM). RESULTS: Microwave digestion procedure for the leaves was preferred because it was more proper with respect to both time and recovery than dry and wet digestion. The levels of the heavy metal ions investigated were the highest on the samples from high traffic level. Also correlations between metal levels and traffic volume for all the metals were investigated. CONCLUSION: In the light of our findings, the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) leaves are suitable as a biomonitor for atmospheric heavy metal-polluted traffic. Significant correlations can be obtained between traffic levels and heavy metal concentrations.

Chromium speciation in environmental samples by solid phase extraction on Chromosorb 108.

In the present work, a solid phase extraction system has been proposed for speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in the real samples. The procedure based on the adsorption of chromium(III) as dithizonate chelate on the Chromosorb 108 resin. After reduction of Cr(VI) by concentrated H2SO4 and ethanol, the system was applied to the total chromium. Cr(VI) was calculated as the difference between the total Cr content and the Cr(III) content. The influences of the analytical parameters including pH of the aqueous solution, amounts of dithizone, eluent type, sample volume and flow rates of the sample and eluent solution were investigated. No considerable interferences have been observed from other investigated anions and cations on the chromium speciation. The adsorption capacity of sorbent was 4.50 mg/g Cr(III). The detection limit of Cr(III) is 0.75 microg/L. The proposed method was applied to the speciation of chromium in environmental samples including natural waters and total chromium preconcentration in microwave digested Turkish tobacco, coffee and soil samples with satisfactory results. In order to verify the accuracy of the method, two certified reference materials (NIST SRM 1573a Tomato Leaves and RTC-CRM 025-050 Metals on Soil) were analyzed and the results obtained were in good agreement with the certified values. The relative errors and relative standard deviations were below 5% and 9%, respectively.

Comparison of sample preparation procedures for the determination of trace heavy metals in house dust, tobacco and tea samples by atomic absorption spectrometry.

The effect of wet ashing, dry ashing and microwave procedure for the determination of trace metal levels was investigated in house dust, tobacco and tea samples by atomic absorption spectrometry. The study of sample preparation procedures showed that the microwave method was the best. The recovery of trace metals was very good and precision and accuracy were compatible with standard reference material. The relative standard deviations for all measured metal concentrations were lower than 10%. The digestions of HNO3/H2SO4/HClO4 (4: 1: 1) mixture for house dust, HNO3/H2SO4/H2O2 (2: 2: 2) mixture for tea and HNO3/H2O2 (4: 2) mixture for tobacco were very efficient.
