Description:
The present work reports the development of a methodology for the direct determination of lead in high saline waters derived from petroleum exploration employing electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with permanent Ir-W and HF as modifiers. These waters, so-called produced waters, have complex composition containing several types of organic and inorganic substances. In order to attain best conditions (highest analytical signal besides lowest background) for the methodology studies about the effect of several variables and the convenient calibration strategy were performed. Also, the efficiency of other modification approaches was evaluated. At best conditions, pyrolysis and atomization temperature were 800 and 2200^oC, respectively, when the modifiers cited above were utilized. Obtained results indicate that, in this kind of sample, lead can be determined by standard addition method or employing external calibration with standard solutions prepared in 0.8moll^-^1 NaCl medium. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the procedure, a recovery test was performed with six spiked samples of produced waters. The detection limit, quantification limit and the relative standard deviation in 0.8moll^-^1 NaCl were also calculated and the values are 1.5@mgl^-^1, 5.0@mgl^-^1 and 5.0% (at 10@mgl^-^1 level), respectively.
