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 materials, respectively. Experimental operation conditions for hydride generation as well as the collection and revolatilization conditions for the generated hydrides in the inlet arm of the quartz tube atomizer were optimized. Interferences of copper, nickel, iron, cobalt, arsenic, selenium, lead and tin were examined both with and without the trap. 3(1 limit of detection was estimated as 0.053 mu g 1(-1) for a sample size of 6.0 ml collected in 120 s. The trap has provided 18 fold sensitivity improvement as compared to electrochemical hydride generation alone. The accuracy of the proposed technique was evaluated with two standard reference materials; Trace Metals in Drinking Water, Cat # CRM-TMDW and Metals on Soil/Sediment #4, IRM-008.

Determination of antimony by using tungsten trap atomic absorption spectrometry TİTRETİR DURAN, SERAP; Kenduezler, Erdal; Arslan, Yasin; KULA, İBRAHİM; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2008-08-01) An electrically heated tungsten coil was used as a trap in the determination of antimony. The technique consists of three steps. Initially, SbH(3) is formed by hydride generation procedure; then the analyte species in vapor form are transported to W-coil trap heated at 370 degrees C. Following the preconcentration step, the trap is heated to 895 degrees C; analyte species are revolatilized and transported to the flame-heated quartz atom cell where atornization and the formation of signal take place. The exp...
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...
Determination of bismuth using on-line preconcentration by trapping on resistively heated W coil and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry Cankur, O; Ertas, N; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2002-01-01) A novel analytical system was developed to trap and preconcentrate bismuth from the vapour phase stream. Bismuthine formed by sodium tetrahydroborate reduction was trapped on a tungsten coil previously heated to 270 degreesC. The analyte species were re-volatilised by increasing the coil temperature to 1200 degreesC and then transported to an externally heated silica T-tube by using a mixture of argon and hydrogen as the carrier gas. The base width of the transient signal was less than 0.5 s. The reproducib...
Determination and interference studies of bismuth by tungsten trap hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry KULA, İBRAHİM; Arslan, Yasin; Bakirdere, Sugin; TİTRETİR DURAN, SERAP; Kenduezler, Erdal; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2009-11-15) The determination of bismuth requires sufficiently sensitive procedures for detection at the mu g L-1 level or lower. W-coil was used for on-line trapping of volatile bismuth species using HGAAS (hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry); atom trapping using a W-coil consists of three steps. Initially BiH3 gas is formed by hydride generation procedure. The analyte species in vapor form are transported through the W-coil trap held at 289 degrees C where trapping takes place. Following the preconcent...
Determination of cadmium using slotted quartz tube atom trap atomic absorption spectrometry and metal coatings Özcan Gurbetçioğlu, G. Pelin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2010) Flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) is a common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental, biological and metallurgical samples. Although it is a rather old technique, it is still very reliable, simple to use and inexpensive. The technique can be used to determine the concentration of over 70 different metals in a solution. However, it has detection limits at mg/L levels. Some atom trapping methods have been developed to reach the detection limits of ng/mL levels. Slotted quartz...
