DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM SISTEMA DE ANÁLISE POR INJEÇÃO EM FLUXO PARA PRÉ CONCENTRAÇÃO DE Cd SOBRE RESINA DE XAD-4 MODIFICADA COM FENILFLUORONA E DETERMINAÇÃO POR ESPECTROMETRIA DE ABSORÇÃO ATÔMICA

Cadmium is considered a potentially toxic element, since it doesn't perform any biological function and is highly cumulative. This element is usually found in environmental samples in very low concentrations. For this reason, there is a necessity to develop methods that allow sufficiently low detection limits. From this perspective, a simple, sensitive, selective and low cost methodology was developed for the determination of Cd by F AAS. The system involves the on-line pre concentration of cadmium onto a commercial polystyrene divinil benzene (PSDV) resin modified with phenylfluorone (PF). Th...
