摘要
Accurate detection and screening of Pb in biological samples is helpful to assess the risk associated with lead pollution to human health. However, conventional atomic spectroscopic instruments are bulky and cumbersome, requiring additional sample pretreatment equipment, and difficult to perform field analysis with. Herein, a portable point discharge (PD) microplasma-optical emission spectrometric (OES) device with online digestion function is designed for field and sensitive determination of lead in biological samples. With rice as a model, online digestion of a batch of six 50 mg samples can be achieved in the HNO3 and H2O2 system within 25 min by a temperature control and timing module. Compared to the conventional microwave digestion, the digestion efficiency of this device reaches 97%. Pb in digestion solution is converted into volatile species by hydride generation (HG) and directly introduced into PD-OES for excitation and detection by a self-designed rotatable and telescopic cutoff gas sampling column. Six samples can be successively detected in 2 min, and argon consumption of the whole process is only <800 mL. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit of Pb is 0.018 mg kg(-1) (0.9 mu g L-1) and precision is 3.6%. The accuracy and practicability of the present device are verified by measuring several certified reference materials and real biological samples. By virtue of small size (23.5 x 17 x 8.5 cm(3)), lightweight (2.5 kg), and low energy consumption (24.3 W), the present device provides a convenient tool for field analysis of toxic elements in biological samples.
