Determination Of Cadmium In High Salt Content Matrices By Flow Injection Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, Orkun Alp, Hakan Demi̇röz, Osman Yavuz Ataman, Nusret Ertaş
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Flow injection cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-CVAAS) was used for determination of cadmium in high salt matrices such as dialysis concentrates and textile leach solutions. The parameters such as acidity, concentration of reducing agent, reaction coil length, and carrier gas flow rate were investigated to obtain the best sensitivity. No significant background signal was observed even at high salt concentrations. Under the optimized conditions the limit of detection value (3s_b m^{-1}, where s_b is the standard deviation of the blank signals and m is the slope of the calibration graph) was found to be 0.05 ng mL^{-1} for an …

Evaluation Of Thermodynamic Parameters Of Cadmium Adsorption On Sand From Temkin Adsorption Isotherm, Abdul Sattar Ali Khan
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Thermodynamic parameters provide clues for finding the spontaneity of a given process at a given temperature. In the present work, the Temkin adsorption model was applied for evaluation of the thermodynamic parameters of cadmium adsorption studied on sand. The lateral interaction energy parameter was found to be unity, which showed that the heat of adsorption is directly proportional to the fraction of free adsorption sites. The values of \Delta H° and \Delta S° were --4.8 kJ mol^{-1} and 42 J mol^{-1} K^{-1}, respectively. The value of \Delta G° was negative, indicating the spontaneity of cadmium adsorption on sand.
