Study on the determination of lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel and zinc by a rapid column high-performance liquid chromatography

High Performance Electrochemical Sensor Based on Task Specific Ionic Liquid Mixed Palm Shell Activated Carbon for Trace Level Cd (II) Detection

“…Cadmium can accumulate in the human body, especially in the kidneys, and cause dysfunction; therefore, there is an increasing interest in the determination of cadmium ion content in drinking water due to its toxicity to human health [2]. Several analytical techniques, including, flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) [3], electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) [4 ], inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [5], atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) [6], and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [7] have been applied for the determination of trace amounts of cadmium in analytical samples. Although these techniques provide accurate results, they have several disadvantages, such as high apparatus cost, complex operation, high operation and maintenance costs, and the requirement of well-controlled experimental conditions.…”

Cadmium (II)-selective electrode based on palm shell activated carbon modified with task-specific ionic liquid: kinetics and analytical applications

“…Cadmium can accumulate in the human body, especially in the kidneys, and can cause dysfunction of the kidney; therefore, there is increasing interest in the determination of the amount of cadmium ions in drinking water due to its toxicity to human health. The most commonly used techniques for the determination of the amount of cadmium ions in aqueous solution include the following: flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) (Afkhami et al 2006), electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) (Li et al 2009), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (Balarama Krishna et al 2000;Guo et al 2010;Beiraghi et al 2012), atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) (Wen et al 2009) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Yang et al 2005). Although these techniques provide accurate results, they have several disadvantages, such as the requirement of expensive apparatus, complicated operation, high costs of operation and maintenance, and the requirement of well-controlled experimental conditions.…”

Evaluation of sample preparation methods and optimization of nickel determination in vegetable tissues

“…It is worth remembering that aside from the spectrometric techniques, it is possible to determine various metals (including Ni) by other methods. An example of a study in this sense was undertaken by Yang et al (2005), who developed a method for determining Pb, Cd, Hg, Ni and Zn by high-efficiency liquid chromatography.…”
