Abstract
A sensitive and simple method for the electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) determination of Cr(III) after separation/preconcentration on a micro-column packed with nanometer sized zirconium phosphate has been developed. Total chromium was determined after the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by 10% (m/v) of aqueous ascorbic acid. The limit of detection for Cr(III) was 1.5 ng/L with an enrichment factor of 300. The static adsorption capacity of the sorbent for Cr(III) was 9.34 mg/g. The relative standard deviation was 3.2% (n = 7, c = 10 ng/mL). The method was applied successfully to the determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in natural water samples.
