title: Determination of traces of palladium in stream sediment and auto catalyst by FI-ICP-OES using on-line separation and preconcentration with QuadraSil TA.
abstract: A flow injection analysis (FIA) method using on-line separation and preconcentration with a novel metal scavenger beads, QuadraSil TA, has been developed for the ICP-OES determination of traces of palladium. QuadraSil TA contains diethylenetriamine as a functional group on spherical silica beads and shows the highest selectivity for Pd(II) at pH 1 (0.1 mol l(-1) hydrochloric acid) solution. An aliquot of the sample solution prepared as 0.1 mol l(-1) in hydrochloric acid was passed through the QuadraSil TA column. After washing the column with the carrier solution, the Pd(II) retained on the column was eluted with 0.05 mol l(-1) thiourea solution and the eluate was directly introduced into an ICP-OES. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of traces of palladium in JSd-2 stream sediment certified reference material [0.019+/-0.001 microg g(-1) (n=3); provisional value: 0.0212 microg g(-1)] and SRM 2556 used auto catalyst certified reference material [315+/-4 microg g(-1) (n=4); certified value: 326 microg g(-1)]. The detection limit (3 sigma) of 0.28 ng ml(-1) was obtained for 5 ml of sample solution. The sample through puts for 5 ml and 100 microl of the sample solutions were 10 and 15 h(-1), respectively.
