Abstract
An on-line preconcentration procedure for the determination of manganese using flow-injection approach with flame atomic absorption spectrometry as a detection method is described. The proposed method is based on the complexation between Mn(II) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP). Two approaches were investigated for enrichment of manganese; the formation of Mn–TCPP complex in a solution followed by its retention on a sorbent and the sorption of manganese ions onto the TCPP-modified resin. The best results was obtained for the first approach when 10 −5 M reagent was on-line mixed with an aqueous sample solution and passed through the microcolumn packed with anion-exchange resin Amberlite IRA-904 for 5 min. The sorbed complexes were then eluted with 0.5 ml of 2 M HNO 3. A good precision (2.2–3.1% R.S.D. for 50 μg l −1 manganese) and the enrichment factor of 30 were obtained with the detection limit of 12 μg l −1 for 5 min loading time. The interference of anions and cations has been studied to optimize the conditions and the method was applied for determination of manganese in natural water samples. The results obtained by FI–FAAS and ETAAS (as a reference method) were not statistically different for a significance level of 0.05.
