Abstract
A flow injection on-line sorption preconcentration method for the electrothermal AAS determination of platinum has been developed. The pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate complexes of either Pt4+ or Pt2+, formed in 0.7 mol L–1 HNO3, are on-line adsorbed on the inner walls of a PTFE knotted reactor and subsequently eluted with methanol. An enhancement factor of 112 and a detection limit (3 σ) of 10 ng L–1 along with a sampling frequency of 21 h–1 are achieved with a 90 s preconcentration time at a sample flow rate of 8.8 mL min–1. The relative standard deviation is 2.5% for 0.4 μg L–1 Pt. The method has been applied to the determination of platinum in blood samples.
