The solvent extraction preconcentration and atomic absorption determination of cadmium in natural waters

Anreicherung und Bestimmung von Cadmium in natürlichen Gewässern

  • Published:
Microchimica Acta Aims and scope

Summary

Cadmium is extracted from 5 liters of water into chloroform after reaction with diethyldithiocarbamate and determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Analysis of the Great Lakes system and ground waters of Essex County, Ontario, indicate that the distribution of cadmium is in the range 0.1–1.0 ppb.

Zusammenfassung

Nach Reaktion mit Diethyldithiocarbamat wird Cadmium aus 5 1 Wasser mit Chloroform extrahiert und durch Flammenabsorptions-Spektro-metrie bestimmt. Die Analyse von Wasserproben aus dem großen Seengebiet sowie des Grundwassers aus Essex, Ontario, zeigt, daß Cadmium in der Größenordnung von 0,1–1,0 ppb vorkommt.
