Aa240 atomic absorption spectrometer

Manufactured by Agilent Technologies
Sourced in United States

The AA240 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer is a laboratory instrument used for the quantitative determination of chemical elements. It functions by measuring the absorption of light by atoms in a gaseous state, which is proportional to the concentration of the element in the sample. The instrument provides precise and accurate measurements of elemental concentrations in a wide range of sample types.

Acid Leaching for Metals Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total contents of the metals Pb, Zn, and Cd were determined by acid leaching. Approximately 0.5 g of the dried sample was placed in a glass beaker, 40 mL of pre-made 1 + 1 (v/v) nitric(V) acid solution in water (HNO3, Honeywell, Fischer, Racine, WI, USA) was added to the sample, and everything was mixed with a glass stirrer. A hot plate was then used to boil the solution until half of the solution had evaporated. The leachate was then filtered through a filter paper into a 50 mL volumetric flask (white label, IDL Gmbh and Co. KG, Nidderau, Germany). Pb, Zn, and Cd contents were determined with a flame AAS by Varian AA240 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (Varian, Denver, CO, USA) with a multi-element hollow cathode lamp (HCL) Ag/Pb/Zn/Cd (Varian SpectrAA Lamp) using a gas mixture of acetylene/air. The absorption was measured at wavelengths of 217.0 nm, 213.9 nm, and 228.8 nm for Pb, Zn, and Cd, respectively.

pH Effect on Pb(II) Adsorption by PAMPS-g-Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 NTs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of pH on Pb(ii) adsorption was studied after adding 50 mg of PAMPS-g-Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 NTs to 100 mL of a Pb(ii) solution (0.24 mmol L−1) in the pH range of 1.0–6.0. These flasks were shaken in a thermostatic shaker at 298 K for 120 min. The Pb(ii) concentrations of each sample before and after adsorption were determined by an AA240 atomic absorption spectrometer (Varian, USA). The Pb(ii) removal rate (R) and adsorption capacity (qe, mg g−1) were calculated according to eqn (1) and (2), respectively. where qe (mg g−1) is the amount of Pb(ii) adsorbed per gram of PAMPS-g-Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 NTs at equilibrium, c0 is the initial Pb(ii) concentration (mg L−1), ce is the residual Pb(ii) concentration (mg L−1), V stands for the volume of the solution (L), and m is the mass of the adsorbent (g).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
