Abstract:
A solid extractant made with the liquid anion-exchanger Adogen 464 supported on silica gel has been prepared and its potential as a resin-like exchange material has been evaluated. In acid media it furnishes a ready available, inexpensive tool for recovery of anionic metal complexes as well as simple anions and for elimination of complex matrices. Copper and cobalt have been recovered (with a concentration factor of 20) from sea-water, natural water, metal alloys and industrial electroplating baths and measured by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry. The detection limits for copper and cobalt are 0.2 and 0.4 ng ml respectively and interferences are minimal. Chromium(VI) has been separated from chromium(III), and a concentration factor of 40 and a detection limit of 0.2 ng ml have been achieved.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
