摘要
In this work, a procedure allowing effective digestion of a high mass of yerba mate (up to 1500 mg) using diluted HNO3, in a system pressurized with oxygen, is proposed. Digests were suitable for direct analysis by ICP-MS, virtually free of interferences. Digestion was performed using 7 mol l(-1) HNO3 and 8 bar O-2. The digestion efficiency was better than 92% and digests presented a relatively low acidity (< 10 mmol HNO3). The limit of quantification was 4.0, 1.0 and 1.0 ng g(-1) for As, Cd and Pb, respectively. Under optimized conditions up to 1500 mg of sample were digested and no interferences were observed during analyses by ICP-MS, making this approach suitable for routine determination of As, Cd and Pb in yerba mate and also in agreement with the quality control requirements.
