Yk. Chau et F. Yang, A NOVEL TECHNIQUE FOR DIRECT DERIVATIZATION OF IONIC ORGANOTIN AND ALKYL-LEAD COMPOUNDS IN SEDIMENT - SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF ORGANOTIN AND ALKYL-LEAD COMPOUNDS IN SEDIMENT BY GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY PLASMA-ATOMIC EMISSION (GC-AED) DUAL-CHANNEL DETECTION, Applied organometallic chemistry, 11(10-11), 1997, pp. 851-858
A direct derivatization carried out on sediment slurries and simultane
ous speciation of organotin and alkyl lead in sediments is described,
Simultaneous determination was performed using dual-channel operation
of the AED detector, Direct contact of phentylmagnesium bromide with t
he sediment improved drastically the recovery of the monobutyltin (MET
) species, The combined complexation/extraction/derivatization procedu
re and the dual-channel AED operation reduced the analysis time. Analy
sis of a Certified Reference sediment, PACS-1, demonstrated the accura
cy of the method. The absolute detection limits (3 x noise level) are
0.5 pg and 0.2 pg respectively for tin and lead. The relative detectio
n limits for sediment (1 g sample) are 2.5 ng g(-1) and 1 ng g(-1) res
pectively for organotin and alkyl-lead, expressed as the metal. The re
sults of the analysis of some environmental samples are given. (C) 199
