Chlorine determination via MgCl molecule in environmental samples using high resolution continuum source graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry.

Talanta 2018 January 2
This paper describes a method development for chlorine determination through the formation of MgCl molecule, applied for the first time for Cl quantification, by high resolution continuum source graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-CS GF MAS) in environmental samples. Pyrolysis and vaporization temperatures were optimized as well as the use of chemical modifier. Determinations were carried out at the wavelength of 377.010 and the compromise conditions of the graphite furnace temperature program were 500°C and 2500°C for pyrolysis and vaporization, respectively, using 10µg of chemical modifier Pd. The concentration of reactants for the generation of MgCl molecule was optimized through Box-Behnken experimental design, using MgCl2 solution as source of chlorine. The optimum values according to the surface response were 5gL-1 Mg, 25mgL-1 of chlorine and 2% vv-1 of HNO3 , condition in which the amount of Mg is at least 200 times higher than that of chloride. This excess of the forming agent ensures the complete formation of MgCl molecular species, since Cl is the limiting reactant. Certified reference materials, BCR 182 and NIST 8414, and addition and recovery tests were used to evaluate the accuracy of the method and good results were achieved at a 95% confidence level. The method was applied to direct determination of Cl in five produced water samples from offshore oil wellbore, high complex matrix, whose conventional methods require tedious treatment before the analysis.
