RT Conference Proceedings T1 Development of a new method for preconcentration, chemical vapour generation and determination of metal ions by ICP OES in environmental samples using magnetic nanoparticles A1 López-Guerrero, María del Mar A1 Siles-Cordero, María Teresa A1 Vereda-Alonso, Elisa Isabel A1 García-de-Torres, Amparo A1 Cano-Pavón, José Manuel K1 Nanopartículas AB Silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNP SCMNPs) modified with [1,5-bis (2-pyridyl)-3-sulphophenylmethylene] thiocarbonohydrazide were synthesized by a sol-gel method. These magnetic nanoparticles (PSTHmnp)were employed as a SPE adsorbent for separating and concentrating trace amounts 14 elements (Pd, Cr, Mn,Zn, Cd, Hg, As, Sb, Bi, Cu, Pt, Sn, Se, Co) from environmental samples. The main aim of this work was todevelop a precise and accurate method for the simultaneous determination of the aforementioned metals fromnatural water samples (sea water, estuarine, lake and river water) by the on line pre-concentration SPE CVG ICPOES using PSTH-mnp, with the least demanding and simple sample preparation procedure. The developedmethod was validated by analysing natural water certified reference materials (SLRS-4, TMDA 54.4, SW2 Batch125, SRM 1643e). Sea water and water well samples collected from Malaga (Spain) were analysed too.The procedure has demonstrated to be fast, easy, automatic, selective, low cost and with good sensitivity. Themain advantage of PSTH-mnp is its very good stability and resistance because chemisorption of chelatingmolecules on the surface of solid supports provides immobility, mechanical stability and insolubility. It costs islow compared with other chelating sorbents. The detection limits obtained are adequate for the analyzed samples.Furthermore, the method proposed has permitted the simultaneous determination of the 14 elements, saving timeof analysis and achieving a sample throughout of about 12.8 h-1.Table 1.
