Popis: Determination of cadmium and lead in river water by sequential metal vapor elution analysis (SMVEA, column temperature; >1210 K) with argon carrier gas and an atomic absorption detector (AA) is reported. The column was a molybdenum tube inserted a tungsten coil. The flow rate of carrier gas was 1.8 ml min−1. Cadmium and lead were separated from Ca, Fe, K, Na, and Zn metal vapours by SMVEA with the step-heated column (1210–1520 K) at an atomization temperature of 1830 K. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the recoveries of spiked-cadmium and lead in river waters were in the range of 91 to 106%. It is to determine cadmium and lead in river water without the interferences by matrix elements observed by electrothermal AAS, after only the addition of hydrochloric acid to the sample.
