Popis: Microgram amounts of Hg are separated from most metallic ions by extraction of the Hg-diethyldithiocarbamate complex into CCI/sub 4/ from a carbonate buffered solution containing (ethylenedinitrilo)-tetraacetate and cynaide to mask interfering ions. The Hg is determined by measuring the absorbance of the extract at 278 m mu . Of 32 ions investigated only Cu, TI(IfI), and Bi(III) interfere seriously. if more than 200 mu g of Ru are present, it must be removed by hypochlorite oxidation. Based upon data for 14 determinations at each concentration, coefficients of variation of 5 and 2% for 10 and 50 mu g of Hg, respectively, were obtained. One analyst can perform up to 30 determinations per day. (auth)
