Abstract
This work terms synthesis, characterization and usage of a magnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4 as an adsorbent for pre-concentration of Cd (II) in water. The morphology of Fe3O4 was investigated using FTIR, FESEM. Extraction efficiency of Fe3O4 was analyzed using batch process with flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Factors affecting pre-concentration such as pH, dosage of adsorbent, time of extraction, volume of sample, solvent of elution and interferences were optimized. It was determined that Cd (II) adsorption is highly pH dependent, and a high recovery (94%) was achieved at pH 6.0. The limit of detection (3SDblank/m), limit of quantification (10SDblank/m), pre-concentration factor and the relative standard deviation of Cd (II) extraction were 1.26 ng/mL, 4.28 ng/mL, 30 and 3.8% (concentration = 10 ng/mL, n = 10), respectively. Good relative recoveries of 82% to 97% (%RSD < 4.45) were achieved from a spiked commercial drinking water and tap water samples.
