Abstract

A method was developed for the determination of cadmium(II) by ligand-less solid phase extraction that is based on the direct retention of Cd(II) in a mini-column filled with a silica gel modified with an amino-functionalized ionic liquid. The effects of pH, sample volume and its flow rate, eluent concentration and its volume, the flow rate of eluent, and of potential interferences on extraction and desorption were optimized. Following its determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry, the detection limit for Cd(II) is 8.9 ng L−1, and the relative standard deviation is 2.3 % (at 1.0 ng mL−1; for n = 5). The method was applied to the analysis of Cd(II) in a certified reference material (laver; GBW10023), and the recoveries ranged from 97.0 to104.0 %
