Determination of Cadmium(II) in Water and Soil Samples after Preconcentration with a New Solid Phase Extractor

Abstract A new simple and reliable method has been developed to separate and preconcentrate trace cadmium ion from water and soil samples for subsequent measurement by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Cadmium ions adsorbed quantitatively on Amberlyst 36 cation exchange resin were eluted with a 5 mL of 3 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution. Different factors and matrix effects for the preconcentration step were examined. The analytical figures of merit for the determination of cadmium are as follows: analytical detection limit, 0.51 µg/L; precision (RSD), 2.9%; enrichment factor, 200; capacity of resin 192 mg/g. The method was applied for cadmium determination in tap water, natural drinking water, soil, and roadside dust samples. The accuracy of the method is confirmed by analyzing standard reference material (Montana Soil, SRM 2711).
