RESUMO

In this work analytical methods were developed for simultaneous determination of As, Co and Se in gasoline, petroleum and lubricating oil by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Strategies for the sample preparation were based on the emulsion for gasoline and petroleum and acid digestion using microwave oven for lubricating oil. The heating program optimizations were carried out using pyrolysis and atomization temperatures of analytical reference solutions, emulsions and digestate of sample solutions, in presence and absence of Pd + Mg as chemical modifiers. The gasoline emulsions were prepared in Pyrex® lass tubes by adding Triton X-100, nitric acid and Milli-Q water. For the petroleum emulsion preparation it was necessary the previous dissolution of sample with hexane, as well as Triton X-100, nitric acid and Milli-Q water addition. All emulsions were submitted to sonication for 2 minutes. The optimization of emulsifications were done by the evaluation of absorbance signals versus the variations of sample quantity, surfactant, nitric acid and solvent concentration. Lubricating oil samples were digested using a mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and analyzed after dilution with Milli-Q water. The calibration curves were prepared in 2% (v/v) HNO3 + 6% (v/v) Triton X-100, 1% (v/v) HNO3 + 7% (v/v) Triton X-100 + 5% (v/v) hexane, 0,1 % (v/v) de HNO3, for gasoline, petroleum and lubricating oil, respectively. The estimated detection limits (n=10) were 7.2 µg L-1 for As, 1.0 µg L-1 for Co, and 5.0 µg L-1 for Se in gasoline; 7.0 µg L-1 for As, 1.3 µg L-1 for Co, and 5.7 µg L-1 for Se in petroleum; and 3.9 µg L-1 for As, 1.0 µg L-1 for Co, and 4.0 µg L-1 for Se in lubricating oil. Five gasoline, four petroleum and four lubricating oil samples were analyzed and spiked with As (20 µg L-1), Co (10 µg L-1) and Se (20 µg L-1). The obtained recoveries were 94 to 112% for As, 92 to 117% for Co and 94 to 129% for Se in gasoline, petroleum and lubricating oil, respectively.
