M. Soylak et al., DETERMINATION OF SOME TRACE-METAL IMPURITIES IN REFINED AND UNREFINEDSALTS AFTER PRECONCENTRATION ONTO ACTIVATED CARBON, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 5(3-4), 1996, pp. 148-155
A simple separation-preconcentration procedure for the determination o
f trace metals in refined and unrefined salts is proposed. Metal ions
are complexed by ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) and sorbe
d onto activated carbon. Concentration of metal ions were determined b
y flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The method was applied success
fully to the determinations of trace amounts of Cu, Ni,Pb, Fe, Cd, Zn,
Co in refined and unrefined salt samples (Recoveries >95%, relative st
andard deviations < 6 %, relative error < 4%).
