A quartz trap for on-line preconcentration of Cd species was designed. The cold vapour generation technique was used for the generation of Cd species. The trapping medium was formed by external heating of the inlet arm of a quartz T-tube. The generated analyte species were trapped on a quartz surface heated to the collection temperature, 350 degreesC, and the collected species were revolatilized when the trap was heated further to revolatilization temperature, 1000 degreesC, and hydrogen gas was introduced in the trapping medium. Two-level fractional factorial design and central composite design were used to optimize generation conditions in the flow injection mode. The results of the fractional factorial design demonstrated that the factors and their interactions were statistically significant. Three factors, length of reaction coil, carrier HCl concentration and NaBH4 concentration, were considered to be the most significant parameters in the optimization and their optimum values were found to be 30 cm, 0.3 M and 3% (m/v), respectively. Sea-water (BCR), tomato leaves (NIST 1573a) and oyster tissue ( NIST 1566b) standard reference materials were analyzed to assess the accuracy of the proposed method. For a collection period of 3.0 min, i.e., 6.0 ml sample volume, the 3sigma limit of detection was 1.8 pg ml(-1); the enhancement factor for LOD was found to be 90 as compared with FI-HGAAS. The sample throughput rate was 12 h(-1).

Determination of antimony by using a quartz atom trap and electrochemical hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry
Menemenlioglu, Ipek; Korkmaz, Deniz; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2007-01-01)
The analytical performance of a miniature quartz trap coupled with electrochemical hydride generator for antimony determination is described. A portion of the inlet arm of the conventional quartz tube atomizer was used as an integrated trap medium for on-line preconcentration of electrochemically generated hydrides. This configuration minimizes transfer lines and connections. A thin-layer of electrochemical flow through cell was constructed. Lead and platinum foils were employed as cathode and anode materia...
Sensitivity improvement for antimony determination by using in-situ atom trapping in a slotted quartz tube and flame atomic absorption spectrometry
TİTRETİR DURAN, SERAP; Sik, Ahmet Inanc; ARSLAN, YASİN; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2012-11-01)
Significant improvement has been achieved for antimony determination using a slotted quartz tube (SQT) as an atom trap (AT) for in situ preconcentration and flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The suggested technique consists of trapping analyte species during ordinary nebulization followed by releasing the collected analyte via introducing organic solvent. Procedures and analytical figures of merit have been presented for the techniques called FAAS. SQT-FAAS and finally SQT-AT-FMS with the relevan...
Nd, Pb, Hf isotope characteristics and provenance of glacial granitic pebbles from Late Ordovician diamictites in the Taurides, S Turkey
GÜRSU, SEMİH; Mueller, Paul A.; Sunkari, Emmanuel D.; Moller, Andreas; Köksal, Serhat; Kamenov, George'D.; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2018-02-01)
Outcrops of the Late Ordovician glacio-marine deposits in Tauride Anatolide Platform contain rare rounded/sub-rounded glacially transported granitic pebbles. Recently determined crystallization ages of the granitic fragments by LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating fall in two groups, 575 to 600 Ma and 700 to 965 Ma. Crystallization ages are in the range of juvenile magmatic rocks in the Arabian Nubian Shield except one sample implying pre-0.87 Ga magmatic activity. All dated granitic pebbles geochemically show arc-...
Simultaneous determination of bismuth and tellurium using tungsten coil atom trap with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry /
Bora, Selin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2016)
Atom traps such as slotted quartz tube, quartz plate and tungsten coil have been used in atomic spectrometry in order to preconcentrate analyte hydrides and then detection was done by atomic absorption or fluorescence spectrometry. In this study, tungsten coil atom trap was used for the first time with plasma spectrometry. A novel method, which is called Hydride Generation Tungsten Trap Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (HG-W-Trap-ICPMS), was developed in the first part of this study. Then as a s...
Electroacoustic measurements of mixed quartz and iron oxide mineral systems
Klein, B; Altun, Naci Emre; Colebrook, M; Pawlik, M (2012-07-18)
Surface behavior of the commonly found minerals in nickel laterite ores - quartz, magnetite, hematite and goethite was investigated using electroacoustic measurements. The goal was to assess the surface potentials as single minerals and in mixed systems to understand possible interactions between particles in laterite slurries. Surface potentials were evaluated according to the electroacoustic theory with the understanding that a direct relationship existed between zeta potential and electroacoustic sonic a...
