[Simultaneous determination of trace platinum, palladium and rhodium in environmental dust samples by ICP-MS after open-digestion].

A sensitive method for simultaneous determination of Pt, Pd and Rh in dust samples by ICP-MS after open-digestion was developed. The digestion method for the samples and conditions for measurement for ICP-MS were studied in detail. Aquaregia was proved to be a better solvent for the digestion of dust samples. Under the optimum conditions, the limits of detection of Pt, Pd and Rh were 0.48, 4.22 and 0.42 ng x g(-1), respectively. The proposed method was applied to the real sample analysis, and good recoveries were obtained. The recoveries of Pt, Pd and Rh were found to be between 87.6%-88%, 85.2%-87.8%, and 93%-95%, respectively.

[Solid phase extraction and room temperature phosphorimetry coupling technique and its application].

The principle and application in the environmental analysis of Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) combined with Room Temperature Phosphorescence (RTP) analysis were reviewed. The principle, device, separation modes, operation procedures and application of SPE were commented. The merits and shortages in the operation procedure and quantitative analysis of classic RTP were also summarized. The potential application in the trace sample analysis and the advantage of coupling technique of SPE and RTP were indicated. The sensitivity and selectivity of the coupling technique could be greatly increased because of the strong enrichment ability of the SPE materials and the high selectivity of RTP. So far the technique has been successfully used in the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PClDBFs) in the environmental samples according to their phosphorescence emission after preconcentration on the Whatman 1PS filter paper and C18 or C8 SPE membranes.
