Abstract
An on-line lead preconcentration and determination system implemented with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) with ultrasonic nebulization (USN) in association with flow injection was studied. For the preconcentration of lead, a Pb-quinolin-8-ol complex was formed on-line at pH 6.8 and retained on Amberlite XAD-16 resin. The lead was removed from the microcolumn by countercurrent elution with nitric acid. A total enhancement factor of 225 was obtained with respect to ICP-AES with pneumatic nebulization (15.0 for USN and 15.0 for the column). The detection limit for Pb for the preconcentration of a 10 mL wine sample was 0.15 microg/L. The precision for 10 replicate determinations at a Pb level of 25 microg/L was a relative standard deviation of 2.5%, calculated from the peak heights obtained. The calibration graph obtained by using the preconcentration system for lead was linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995 for levels near the detection limit up to > or = 1000 microg/L. The method was successfully applied to the determination of lead in wine samples.
