摘要
An on-line flow injection (FI) preconcentration method is developed for the determination of total lead and lead isotope ratios in natural waters by inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ICP-TOFMS). This method yields a 20-fold enrichment compared to the direct FI determination and provides improved isotope ratio precision. Besides, the high selectivity achieved, particularly towards Hg, allows the accurate determination of Pb-204-based isotope ratios at ng l(-1) Pb levels with a good precision. Precise transient Pb isotope ratios in ion counting are affected by detector dead time; a dead time value of 20 ns was used for correction for Pb concentrations in excess of 0.4 mug l(-1), and a 100 mu1 eluent loop. Mass discrimination (MD) was evaluated for pairs of isotopes using an isotopic standard reference material (NIST 981). The precision obtained for Pb-204/Pb-206, Pb-207/Pb-206 and Pb-208/Pb-206 ratios at a Pb concentration of 1 mug l(-1) was 1.87, 0.7, and 0.28% relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) respectively, using ion counting mode, 1.0 s integration time and calculations performed using full peak integration. Lead concentrations in the water samples were between 210 and 462 ng l(-1). Precisions (for n = 5) were found in the ranges 1.5-4.25% and 0.1-0.8% for Pb-204/Pb-206 and for Pb-207/Pb-206, (208)sPb/Pb-206 ratios. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
