  • Title: Combined cloud point-solid phase extraction by dispersion of TiO₂ nanoparticles in micellar media followed by semi-microvolume UV-vis spectrophotometric detection of zinc.
    Author: Pourreza N, Naghdi T.
    Journal: Talanta; 2014 Oct; 128():164-9. PubMed ID: 25059144.
    Abstract:
    A new approach is presented in this paper by using dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) in a combined cloud point and solid phase extraction for the efficient preconcentration and determination of Zn(2+) in various samples. In this method Zn(2+) ions are adsorbed on TiO2-NPs and transferred into surfactant rich phase. Subsequently the Zn(2+) ions are desorbed from TiO2-NPs by a dithizone solution via forming a color complex which could be detected colorimetrically. The influence of chemical variables such as pH of the sample solution, electrolyte, amount of TiO2-NPs, type and volume of the eluent on the extraction system was studied. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 0.5-90.0 µg L(-1) of Zn(2+) (r=0.9996). An enrichment factor of 80 was achieved and the limit of detection for Zn(2+) was 0.33 µg L(-1). The relative standard deviation (RSD) for eight replicate measurements of 10 µg L(-1) and 60 µg L(-1) of Zn(2+) was 1.8% and 1.5% respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of Zn(2+) in tap water, powder milk and Zinc sulfate tablet with satisfactory results.
