Flow injection cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-CVAAS) was used for determination of cadmium in high salt matrices such as dialysis concentrates and textile leach solutions. The parameters such as acidity, concentration of reducing agent, reaction coil length, and carrier gas flow rate were investigated to obtain the best sensitivity. No significant background signal was observed even at high salt concentrations. Under the optimized conditions the limit of detection value (3s(b) m(-1), where s(b) is the standard deviation of the blank signals and m is the slope of the calibration graph) was found to be 0.05 ng mL(-1) for an injection volume of 250 mu L and the precision in terms of relative standard deviation was 3.2% using 11 consecutive measurements of 0.5 ng mL(-1) standard. The standard addition method was used for quantitation. The accuracy of the method was tested using ETAAS as a comparison method and a certified reference material (Waste Water EU-L-1). In both cases, the results were in good agreement at 95% confidence level. The concentrations of cadmium in textile product leach solutions were found to be below the limit value assigned by Oeko-Tex standards.

Determination of zinc in aerosol samples by discrete nebulization flame atomic absorption spectrometry
Sarica, DY; Akim, D; Ozden, T (2002-01-01)
A well-known analytical method, "discrete nebulization", which is suitable for samples having a limited amount like body fluids, high solid content or salt solutions, and less volatile metals, has been further developed for zinc determination in aerosol samples.
Determination of silver by chemical vapour generation and atomic absoption spectrometry
Öztürk, Çağla Pınar; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2004)
A method for determination of silver has been developed based on chemical vapour generation atomic absorption spectrometry (CVGAAS). Volatile species of silver in acidified medium were generated by the reduction of sodium tetrahydroborate; these species were sent to a flame-heated quartz tube atomizer (QTA) following isolation by using a gas-liquid separator. Flow injection (FI) was used for sample introduction. Optimization of parameters such as; concentrations of acid and NaBH4 concentration, flow rates o...
Removal of hexavalent chromium anions via polymer enhanced ultrafiltration using a fully ionized polyelectrolyte
HAKTANIR, CEREN; Ozbelge, H. Onder; Bicak, Niyazi; Yılmaz, Levent (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
A fully ionized polyelectrolyte was synthesized for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions by continuous polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF). Effect of operating parameters such as pH, loading, polymer, and competing ion concentrations were examined. Highest Cr(VI) retention was obtained at a loading of 0.01 at pH 4. Increasing both polymer and chromate concentrations at a fixed loading of 0.01 decreased the retention which demonstrated the effect of crowding. In the presence of competing anions such as ...
Determination of volatile organic compounds in different microenvironments by multibed adsorption and short-path thermal desorption followed by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis
Oznur, Kuntasal; Deniz, Karman; Daniel, Wang; TUNCEL, SEMRA; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2005-12-16)
A multiphase assurance approach was developed for the accurate and precise determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in different microenvironments. This approach includes (i) development of a method including adsorption of VOCs onto a multisorbent media followed by short-path thermal desorption (SPTD) pre-concentration and gas chromatography (GC) coupled to a mass spectrometry (MS) quantification, (ii) validation of the sampling and analytical method and (iii) validation of the data using a multid...
Dissolution of colemanite and crystallization of gypsum during boric acid production in a batch reactor
Erdoğdu, Anıl; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
One of the most commonly used boron compounds, boric acid, is produced by dissolving colemanite (2CaO₉3B2O3₉5H2O) in aqueous sulfuric acid whereby gypsum (CaSO4₉2H2O) is formed as a byproduct and must be separated from the main product. This process consists of two steps, dissolution of colemanite and formation of gypsum. The amount of boric acid formed depends on the first step, dissolution of colemanite. In the latter step, gypsum crystals are formed and stay in the reaction mixture to grow up to a size l...
