    Abstract:
    Soybean hull was chemically modified with citric acid and used as a solid phase extraction adsorbent for the determination of trace amounts of Cu(2+) in food samples by flame absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The effect of pH, sample flow rate and volume, elution flow rate and volume and co-existing ions on the recovery of the analyte were investigated. The results showed that Cu(2+) could be adsorbed on the modified soybean hull at pH 8.0 and eluted by 2.0 mL of 1.0 mol L(-1) HCl. Under the optimized conditions, the adsorption capacity of modified soybean hull was found to be 18.0 mg g(-1) for Cu(2+). The detection limit of the proposed method was 0.8 ng mL(-1) for Cu(2+) with an enrichment factor of 18. The analytical result for the certified reference tea sample (GBW07605) was in a good agreement with the certified value. The proposed method has also been successfully applied to the determination of trace Cu(2+) in dried sweet potato, lake water and milk powder, the recovery of Cu(2+) for spiked samples was between 91% and 109.6%.
