Determination of (ultra)trace amounts of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) in water by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry coupled with flow injection on-line sorption preconcentration and separation in a knotted reactor.

A method has been developed for determination of (ultra)trace amounts of As(III) and As(V) in water by flow injection on-line sorption preconcentration and separation coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) using a knotted reactor (KR). The determination of As(III) was achieved by selective formation of the As(III)-pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate complex over a sample acidity range of 0.01-0.7 mol L-1 HNO3, its adsorption onto the inner walls of the KR made from 150-cm-long, 0.5-mm-i.d. PTFE tubing, elution with 1 mol L-1 HNO3, and detection by ICPMS. Total inorganic arsenic was determined after prereduction of As(V) to As(III) in a 1% (m/v) L-cysteine-0.03 mol L-1 HNO3 media. The concentration of As(V) was calculated by difference (the total inorganic arsenic and As(III)). Owing to the group-specific character of the chelating agent, and the use of an efficient rinsing step before elution, the interferences encountered in conventional ICPMS from common major matrix, alkali and alkaline earth metals, and chlorides were eliminated. The presence of organoarsenic species such as monomethylarsonate and dimethylarsinate in water samples had no effect on the results of As(III) and As(V). Thus, the method can be applied to the speciation analysis of inorganic arsenic at submicrogram per liter levels in aqueous solutions with high total content of dissolved solid and/or high content of chlorides. Using a preconcentration time of 60 s and a sample flow rate of 5 mL min-1, an enhancement factor of 22 was achieved in comparison with conventional ICPMS. The time required for a single determination was 200 s. The detection limits (3s) was evaluated to be 0.021 microgram L-1 for As(III) and 0.029 microgram L-1 for total inorganic arsenic. The precision for 14 replicate determinations of 1 microgram L-1 As(III) was 2.8% (RSD) with drift correction and 3.9% (RSD) without drift correction. The concentrations of As(III) and As(V) in synthetic mixtures obtained by the present method were in good agreement with expected values. Results obtained by the proposed method for total arsenic in a river water reference material agreed well with certified and recently reevaluated values. The method was also applied to the speciation analysis of inorganic arsenic in porewaters.
