Özet

Bentonite modified with trioctylamine is developed for the separation and pre-concentration of chromium, copper, manganese, nickel,fact zinc prior to their determination by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS). The retention and recovery of the analyte elements have been investigated by applying column techniques where in Cr-III, Cu-II, Mn-II,Mn- Ni-II and Zn-II are quantitatively retained by the collector at pH 6 or above. For a column with 0.3 g of bentonite modified with trioctylamine and a flow rate of 5.0 mL min(-1), it can quantitatively adsorb the trace heavy metals and quantitative desorption of the elements can be realized by elution with 10 mL of 1 mol L-1 HNO3. Low blank values of the collector have served as important advantage and recoveries are found to be 99.9 +/- 2%, 98.8 +/- 3%, 99.6 +/- 2%, 97.2 +/- 3% and 87.3 +/- 4% for Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn and Ni, respectively, at 95% confidence level. In the presence of Na+, K+ and Mg+ the analyte elements are quantitatively separated and recovered. The relative standard deviations for the determinations are found to be 0.1-1.9%. Detection limits (3 sigma) are 1.7 mu g L-1 for Cr, 2.2 mu g L-1 for Cu, 2.1 mu g L-1 for Zn, 2.4 mu g L-1 for Mn and 2.8 mu g L-1 for Ni. The method has been applied to analysis of the Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn studied in waste waters.
