Abstract
Pelo uso de técnicas mais baratas, como a do SDDC, é possível determinar níveis traços de arsênio em cabelo; entretanto esta técnica apresenta alguns inconvenientes como baixa estabilidade e o odor desagradável da piridina. A piridina foi substituída por trietanolamina/CHCl3 e as características analíticas do complexo foram estudadas.O complexo foi estável por 270 minutos, a faixa de aplicação da lei de Beer foi de 0,0 a 25,0 mg As, a repetibilidade foi de 0,028 mg As, o limite de detecção foi de 18,6 mg de As/L e a sensibilidade (e)? de 1,12 104 L.mol-1.cm-1. O método foi aplicado à amostras de cabelo. A lavagem das amostras foi feita com extran e água desionizada e seca em estufa (40-60ºC). 0,1000 g de amostra foi submetida à 11 métodos de digestão. O melhor método foi o que usou uma solução 1:1 de HNO3 e H2SO4 concentrados em temperatura de 100-110ºC com evaporação até fumos de SO3. O tempo de abertura é um inconveniente neste tipo de digestão.
