Solid phase extraction and determination of ultra trace amounts of copper(II) using octadecyl silica membrane disks modified by 11-hydroxynaphthacene-5,12-quinone and flame atomic absorption spectrometry.
A simple and selective method for rapid extraction and determination of trace amounts of copper(II) ions using octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks modified with 11-hydroxynaphthacene-5,12-quinone and flame atomic absorption spectrometry is presented. Extraction efficiency and the influence of pH, flow rates, amount of ligand and type and least amount of stripping acid were evaluated. Maximum capacity of the membrane disks modified by 5 mg of the ligand was found to be 360 mug of Cu(2+) ion. The break through volume is larger than 2000 ml. The limit of detection of the proposed method is 0.2 ng ml(-1). The effects of various cationic interferences on the percent recovery of copper in binary mixtures were studied. The method was applied to the recovery of Cu(2+) ions from four different water samples and a synthetic sample.
