English abstract A highly sensitive, selective and rapid method for the determination of mercury based on the rapid reaction of mercury(II) with 5-(p-aminobenzylidene)-thiorhodanine (ABTR) and the solid phase extraction of the colored chelate with C18 disks has been developed. At pH 3.5 and in the presence of emulsifier-OP medium, ABTR reacts with mercury(II) to form a red chelate of a 1:2 (mercury to ABTR) molar ratio. This chelate was enriched by solid phase extraction with C18 disks and the retained chelate eluted form the disks with dimethyl formamide (DMF). An enrichment factor of 50 was achieved. In the DMF medium, the molar absorptivity of the chelate is 1.21<FONT FACE=Symbol>&acute;</FONT>10(5) L mol-1 cm-1 at 545 nm, and Beer's law is obeyed in the 0.01~3 µg mL-1 range in the measured solution. The relative standard deviation for eleven sample replicate measurements at the 0.01 µg mL-1 level is 1.7%. This method was applied to the determination of mercury in tobacco and tobacco additives and good preconcentration was found between proposed and comparative methods results
Portuguese abstract Foi desenvolvido um método altamente sensível, seletivo e rápido para a determinação de mercúrio, a partir da reação rápida de mercúrio(II) com 5-(p-aminobenzilideno)-tiorodanina (ABTR) e posterior extração em fase sólida do quelato colorido, utilizando discos C18. Em pH 3,5 e na presença do emulsificante-OP, ABTR reage com mercúrio(II) para formar um quelato vermelho na razão molar 1:2 (mercúrio:ABTR). O quelato foi enriquecido pela extração em fase sólida com discos C18 e o quelato retido, eluído com dimethyl formamida (DMF). Um fator de enriquecimento na ordem de 50 foi obtido. Em DMF, a absortividade molar do quelato é 1,21<FONT FACE=Symbol>&acute;</FONT>10(5) L mol-1 cm-1 a 545 nm, e a lei de Beer é obedecida no intervalo 0,01~3 µg mL-1 na solução medida. O desvio padrão relativo para onze replicatas a 0,01 µg mL-1 é 1,7%. Este método foi aplicado para a determinação de mercúrio em tabaco e aditivos de tabaco. Bom coeficiente de preconcentração foi encontrado, comparando-se o método proposto com outros similares
