This study developed a method for separating and quantifying four arsenic species in water using solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. The optimized method enables sensitive detection of arsenic in drinking water, aiding regulatory compliance.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Water Quality Analysis

Background:

  • Arsenic speciation is crucial for understanding its toxicity and environmental fate.
  • Existing methods for arsenic speciation can be complex and time-consuming.
  • Accurate determination of arsenic species in drinking water is essential for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate various solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges for the speciation of arsenite [As(III)], arsenate [As(v)], monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA).
  • To develop a method for selective retention and elution of different arsenic species.
  • To enable routine determination of trace arsenic levels in drinking water.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of different SPE cartridges (alumina, strong cation exchange, strong anion exchange) for arsenic retention and elution.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Sequential elution of retained arsenic species using specific acidic and buffer solutions.
  • Quantification of arsenic species using flow injection with hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (FI-HGAFS) and atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-HGAAS).

    • Main Results:

    • Alumina cartridges effectively retained all four arsenic species for preconcentration.
    • Selective SPE separation achieved: DMA on cation exchange, MMA and As(v) on anion exchange.
    • A detection limit of 0.05 µg L⁻¹ arsenic was achieved using HGAFS.
    • The method was successfully applied to determine As(III) and As(v) in drinking water treatment stages.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed SPE method provides effective separation and preconcentration of key arsenic species.
    • The method is suitable for routine, sensitive determination of trace arsenic in drinking water.
    • This approach aids in meeting stringent environmental regulations for arsenic in water.
