Composite materials based on hybrid mesoporous solids for flow-through determination of ultratrace levels of Cd(ii)

In this work we present a solid phase extraction (SPE) flow-through system coupled to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) for the determination of Cd(ii) at ultratrace levels. The flow system holds a minicolumn which was filled, one at a time, with three different lab-made materi...

description In this work we present a solid phase extraction (SPE) flow-through system coupled to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) for the determination of Cd(ii) at ultratrace levels. The flow system holds a minicolumn which was filled, one at a time, with three different lab-made materials: (a) mesoporous silica functionalized with 3-aminopropyl groups from 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (HMS); (b) HMS with a resin, Amberlite IR120; and (c) HMS-Amberlite IR120 and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). All the solids were characterized by FTIR and SEM. Batch experiments were performed in order to study the optimum adsorption pH, the adsorption kinetics and the maximum adsorption capacity. The materials were compared in terms of their aptitude for the pre-concentration of the analyte under dynamic conditions.
