Thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

Dithiocarbamate fungicides containing cbfferent metal ions such as Zn, Mn " " and Fe were resolved using a C q column that performed better than the conventional RP-C18 sorbent [123]. However, the method did not allow the speciation of dithiocarbamates that contain no metal. Finally, C q—fullerene was reported to be an effective sorbent material for preconcentrating mercury compounds, and to be preferable to RP-C18 on account of its large specific surface area and volume, which endow it with an increased physical sorption capacity [124]. Also recendy, Pereira et al. [125] developed a new alternative for Cd and Pb determinations at low concentrations, using the preconcentration of a Cjio/CyQ mixture coupled to thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.
