Abstract
Abstract In this study a new hopeful enrichment/separation technique to substitute for batch and column techniques is described. Lead and cadmium were selected as analyte elements. The housing of a syringe mountable membrane filter was filled with Purolite C-100 E cationic resin and mounted to the tip of a plastic syringe. If the sample solution was drawn into the syringe in about 30 s passing through the resin and discharged again for the same length of time, the analyte elements were quantitatively retained at pH ≥ 2. The elements sorbed by the resin were then quantitatively eluted by drawing and discharging 2.5 M HCl as eluent, again at the same flow rates as those used in retention. The recoveries of Pb and Cd were 98.2 and 99%, respectively, with relative standard deviations of around ± 2%. Detection limits (3δ) were 15 µgL−1 for Pb and 10 µgL−1 for Cd. The elements could be concentrated by drawing and discharging several portions of sample successively but eluting only once. Pb and Cd in spiked wast...
