Application of ICP-AES with Microwave Digestion to Detect Trace Elements in Oysters from Jiaozhou Bay,China

Using ICP-AES with microwave digestion, we determined the concentrations of 16 trace elements in oysters from six sampling points in Jiaozhou Bay.The distributions of the wholesome elements Zn, Fe and Mn, and heavy metals such as As,Cd,Hg and Pb were studied.The oysters collected are all rich in the wholesome trace elements,and the oysters from Licun River have the highest concentrations of the three wholesome trace elements.The concentrations of heavy metals in oysters from Licun River are the highest and those from Hongdao are the lowest. Compared with the domestic and foreign sea-areas,the heavy metal contents in the oysters from Jiaozhou Bay are less in amount than those from some developed countries, and more than those in Southeast China.This implies that the Jiaozhou Bay's oysters have been polluted by the environment to some extent.

Application of closed-vessel microwave digestion method for the determination of multi-elements in environmental samples by sequential ICP-AES

A closed-vessel microwave digestion method is described for the rapid dissolution of environmental samples such as foods, soils and sediments. Depending on the sample type, 0.1-0.2 g sample was decomposed with HNO3/H2O2 or HNO3 / H2O2/HF acid mixture in a PTFE digestion vessel by using microwave heating for 2-3 min at 500W of microwave power. The solution, or to which 0.5 g of boric acid was added, was diluted to 25-50 ml and directly determined by sequential ICP-AES. The accuracy of the procedure was validated by the analysis of six standard reference materials for 10 elements. Ail results were in a good agreements with the certified values.

Analysis of trace elements in air particulate matters by non-suppressed ion chromatography

The application of non-suppressed ion chromatography for monitoring of trace elements in air particulate matter was studied in the present investigation. The results indicate that the use of microwave acid digestion method is superior in comparison with the conventional thermal acid digestion method as it leads to higher recovery, better reproducibility, lower volatility loss, better protection against environmental contamination and much less digestion time (5 minutes vs. 24 hours). The use of eluent as extractant is shown to reduce the water dip problem in the chro-matogram. The addition of chelating agent in the eluent coupled with UV detection is shown to provide satisfactory chromatographic separation and good sensitivity for the analysis of transition metals present in the air particulate matter. Using the U.S. National Bureau of Standards Reference Material 1648 Urban Particulate Matter as standard for checking, the analytical procedure is shown to give good recovery and reproducibility for the detection of the following cations and anions in air particulate matter: Fe2 Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, Mg, Na, HN4+, Cl-, NO3- and SO42-. Field test was also performed to check the applicability of the method and the results obtained were discussed in the present paper.

The determination of 52 elements in marine geological samples by an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with a high-pressure closed digestion method

An improved analytical method to determine the content of 52 major, minor and trace elements in marine geological samples, using a HF-HCl-HNO_3 acid system with a high-pressure closed digestion method（HPCD）, is studied by an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry（ICP-OES） and an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry（ICP-MS）. The operating parameters of the instruments are optimized, and the optimal analytical parameters are determined. The influences of optical spectrum and mass spectrum interferences, digestion methods and acid systems on the analytical results are investigated. The optimal spectral lines and isotopes are chosen, and internal standard element of rhodium is selected to compensate for matrix effects and analytical signals drifting. Compared with the methods of an electric heating plate digestion and a microwave digestion, a high-pressure closed digestion method is optimized with less acid, complete digestion,less damage for digestion process. The marine geological samples are dissolved completely by a HF-HCl-HNO_3 system, the relative error（RE） for the analytical results are all less than 6.0%. The method detection limits are 2–40μg/g by the ICP-OES, and 6–80 ng/g by ICP-MS. The methods are used to determine the marine sediment reference materials（GBW07309, GBW07311, GBW07313）, rock reference materials（GBW07103, GBW07104,GBW07105）, and cobalt-rich crust reference materials（GBW07337, GBW07338, GBW07339）, the obtained analytical results are in agreement with the certified values, and both of the relative standard deviation（RSD） and the relative error（RE） are less than 6.0%. The analytical method meets the requirements for determining 52 elements contents of bulk marine geological samples.

Single Laboratory Validation of Determination of 13 Trace Elements in Rice by ICP-MS with an Overview of Challenges Encountered

With the emerging concern on trace element content in rice on both toxicological and nutritional standpoints, validation of analytical method to determine both essential and toxic elements in rice is important in order to produce reliable results. Therefore, this study was aimed to validate analytical method to determine As, Cd, Pb, Hg, Cr, Ni, Se, Cu, Mn, Mo, Fe, Co and Zn in rice while giving an overview of the challenges encountered and application of the method to analysis trace elements in selected traditional rice varieties available in Sri Lankan market. Sample digestion was carried out by microwave digestion and analysed by ICP-MS. The analytical method was validated by measuring precision, accuracy, limits of detection (LODs), limits of quantification (LOQs), working and linear range, recovery percentage and measurement uncertainty. They showed that the method is fit for its purpose as those complies with the standard method performance requirements of AOAC. Percentage of relative standard deviations (RSD) of repeatability was not greater than 9.9% and RSDs (%) of reproducibility were not greater than 10.1% for all elements. Mean recoveries varied from 81% to 110%. Limits of detections of elements were in the range of 0.04 - 0.8 mg/kg and LOQs were in the range of 0.05 - 1.2 mg/kg. Expanded uncertainties of trace elements lay between 1.1% and 6.0%. Good agreement with the certified values of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1568b—Rice Flour analysed by the proposed method with recovery percentages between 89.4% and 105.7% further confirms the accuracy and traceability of the method. The distribution pattern of essential elements in all rice varieties analysed was Mn > Zn > Fe > Cu > Mo > Se > Co. Even though arsenic was detected in all varieties, only the mean concentration of lead of Kaluneenati exceeds the maximum level (FAO/WHO CODEX Alimentarius).

黑果枸杞中矿物元素溶出特性研究

黑果枸杞,茄科枸杞属,富含多种矿物质元素,这对人体生长发育有重要的生物学作用。黑果枸杞作为一种药食同源的物质,为了解其营养价值、指导健康食用及进一步功能开发,有必要分析矿物质溶出特性,并进行相关性分析。黑果枸杞样品制备以硝酸和过氧化氢为消解酸,微波消解仪制备消解液,以不同温度纯水浸提制备浸泡液,试验建立了电感耦合等离子体光谱法测定消解液和浸泡液中K、Na、Ca、Mg、Zn、Fe、Mn、Cu、Li、Sr十种矿物元素含量的实验方法,并进行了矿物元素溶出特性研究及相关性分析。在优化的光谱分析条件下,十种元素线性关系好(r>0.9995)、检出限低(<0.01 mg·L^(-1))、准确度高、精密度好。加标回收率在97.2%~101.8%之间,相对标准偏差小于1.99%。实验发现,黑果枸杞中矿物元素含量丰富,含量最高的是K,其次是Na、Ca、Mg,然后是Fe、Li和Sr,含量较低的是Mn、Zn、Cu。黑果枸杞中K/Na值大于8,属于典型的高钾低钠食品。Ca、Mg、Fe、Zn、Li、Sr、Mn、Cu也是人体中多种酶、激素和维生素中不可缺少的活性因子,是一种理想的食品。黑果枸杞浸泡液中,除Li与Ca、Zn、Fe之间,Mg与Zn之间关系不明显外,其余元素间呈显著正相关或极显著正相关。表明,各矿物质元素中不存在明显的拮抗作用。矿物质元素的溶出率与浸泡时间及提取温度有关。实验采用沸水和40℃纯水浸泡黑果枸杞样品,选取浸提时间5、10和20 min三个时间点研究提取温度及时间对溶出率的影响。十种元素中K、Na、Zn溶出率最高,可能是因为三种元素多以离子形式存在,容易提取。Ca、Mg、Sr、Mn、Cu含量差异大,溶出率相近,可能是价态相近,提取效率相近。Li溶出率受提取温度影响很大,沸水浸泡溶出率是40℃温水的的1.5~2倍,Fe在微量元素中含量最高,溶出率却最低,主要是由于Fe与蛋白质结合,不易萃取。试验数据可为健康食用黑果枸杞及进一步开发利用提供理论参考。
