Abstract

Capillary zone electrophoresis has been applied to the separation and detection of barium(II) and strontium(II) in the presence of excess levels of calcium and magnesium using an electrolyte containing sulfonazo III. The analytes were separated and detected as their anionic chelates, using direct spectrophotometric detection at 654 nm. Calibration curves for areas were linear in the range of 1.25 to 80 μM with correlation coefficients r = 0.9996 for both barium(II) and strontium(II). Precision (as %R.S.D.) was 0.8% and 0.4% for migration times and 1.2% and 2.9% for peak areas for barium(II) and strontium(II), respectively. Recovery was determined by the standard addition method and found to be 108% for barium(II) and 104% for strontium(II). Limits of detection (based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 2 and a noise level of 2.8 10−5 AU) of 0.35 μM (0.048 mg dm−3) for barium(II) and 0.47 μM (0.041 mg dm−3) for strontium(II) were possible in up to 100 000-fold excess levels of Ca2+ and Mg2+. The method was applied to the determination of barium(II) and strontium(II) in a mineral water sample.

      The high radioactivity and long half-life lead to these streams being classified as high-level waste. Both non-radioactive and radioactive Strontium are inevitable components of nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel, being by-products of nuclear fission occurring in the reactors used in nuclear power plants [5,6]. are highly soluble in water and can readily be released into the environment.

      Therefore, the monitoring of Ba(II) and Ni(II) in environmental samples is essential in order to take a preventive action to avoid the entering of these toxic substances into the human body. There are several instrumental techniques such as spectrophotometry [5,9–12], atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [13–16], inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) [17,18], inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [19,20], capillary electrophoresis (CE) [21] and neuron activation analysis (NAA) [22]. AAS, ICP-MS, ICP-AES, CE and NAA are very expensive instruments and require a time consuming tedious process for the sample preparation prior to instrumental analysis.

      However, other analytical applications of liquid-core waveguides in capillaries have been described, some of them involving LEDs as light sources, and these have been reviewed by Dallas and Dasgupta [51]. Macka and co-workers have also remained active in the field of LED based absorption detectors for CE and over the years have demonstrated a range of applications [52–61]. This included, for example, a study of the use of a near-UV-LED (380 nm) with chromate, which is frequently used as displacement dye in the indirect detection of inorganic anions [62].

      The pH values of heavy metal solutions were also controlled at 5 ± 0.05 by using 0.05 M MES buffer. The MES buffer was used because no detectable complexation reactions occur between Co, Sr and Cs and MES buffer [20,21]. The solution pH was controlled to prevent the formation of metal hydroxides and carbonates.
