Summary

A simple method for the determination of barium in natural waters by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry using the carbon rod is proposed. Barium in highly salted waters is previously separated from the interfering ions by ion-exchange chromatography, using Dowex 50 W-X8 resin, and eluted with 0.1M EDTA solution. Mineral waters with low salinity are transferred directly to the furnace and the standard addition method is performed. The detection limit is 90 pg Ba for 10νl injections. The method was applied to samples from the Atlantic Ocean and from Araruama Lake. Barium in commercially available waters was also determined.

Zusammenfassung

In salzreichen Wässern enthaltenes Barium wird von störenden Ionen durch Ionen-Austausch-Chromatographie über Dowex 50 W-X8 getrennt und mit 0,1M EDTA ausgewaschen. Mineralwässer mit geringem Salzge- halt werden unmittelbar in den Ofen eingebracht und die Standard-Zugabe- Methode angewendet. Die Nachweisgrenze liegt bei 90pg/10νl. Die Methode wurde zur Untersuchung von Proben aus dem Atlantischen Ozean sowie aus dem Araruama-See angewendet. Außerdem wurde Barium in handelsüblichen Trinkwässern bestimmt.
