Abstract:
In order to eliminate the effects of seawater matrix on the precise/accurate determination of elements, new and efficient analytical procedure requires. In this study, co-precipitation method based on the triethylamine (TEA)-assisted Mg(OH)2 was performed to eliminate side-effects of seawater medium on the determination with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) prior to the preconcentration of nickel by an optimized dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method. Under the optimum conditions of the presented method, the limit of detection and quantification (LOD, LOQ) values obtained for nickel were found as 16.1 and 53.8 μg kg-1, respectively. Seawater samples collected from West Antarctic region were used for real sample applications to check the accuracy and applicability of developed method, and satisfying recovery results (86-97%) were obtained. In addition to this, the digital image-based colorimetric detection system and the UV-Vis system were applied to confirm the applicability of the developed DLLME-FAAS method in other analytical systems.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
