Abstract:
A magnetic-dispersive solid-phase extraction (MDSPE) was used for precocentration of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in milk, yoghurt and water samples. An appropriate amount of suspension containing the magnetic graphene and Triton X-114 was injected rapidly into the aqueous sample by a syringe. Triton X-114 was used to achieve stable suspension of graphene in solution. The structure of the resulting products was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrometry. The effects of various parameters were studied. A detection limit of 0.16 and 0.50 µg L(-1) for Cd(II) and Pb(II) was obtained, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs, n = 10) of 50 µg L(-1) of Pb and Cd were 3.3 % and 2.1 %, respectively. The results indicated that the present method can be reliably used for determination of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in dairy products and water samples with good recoveries.
