Summary

Hydraulic high pressure nebulization is used as an effective way of on-line coupling of HPLC to flame-AAS for speciation of metal compounds in the ng range. Compared to coupling with a conventional nebulizer a signal enhancement by a factor of 7.5 (peak height) and 10.1 (peak area) for copper is obtained. Using an injected volume of 50 μL the detection limits for Cu, Fe, Ni and Cd are below 0.1 μg/mL (=5ng) and for Mg below 0.01 μg/mL (=0.5ng). The effects of HPLC flow-rate and nebulization nozzle diameter on the signal peak height have been investigated. The performance of the system is demonstrated using speciation of iron. A base-line separation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) is achieved within two minutes. Also species changes (Fe acetate to Fe citrate) can be analysed using the proposed system.
