Abstract

The micro-column packed with porous nano-barium- strontium titanate microspheres, joining with injector, a new manual-controlled injection porous nano-barium- strontium titanate microspheres enricher (PBSTME) was prepared. The enrichment capability of the PBSTME for the heavy metal ions, such as zinc, nickel, copper, manganese, cobalt and silver was investigated. The results showed that all the heavy metals studied could be quantitatively retained by the PBSTME in the pH range of 5–8, and then eluted completely with 2 mol•L-1 HNO3. The detection limits of this method for zinc, nickel, copper, manganese, cobalt and silver ions were 0.028 μg•L-1, 0.2μg•L-1, 0.031 μg•L-1, 0.022 μg•L-1, 0.057μg•L-1 and 0.039 μg•L-1 with an enrichment factor of 50, respectively. A new method has been developed for the determination of trace heavy metal ions based on pre-concentration with a PBSTME prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The method has been applied to the simultaneous determination of trace amounts of zinc, nickel, copper, manganese, cobalt and silver ions in water sample with satisfactory results.
