Abstract
Tato dizertační práce zkoumá vývoj techniky difúzního gradientu v tenkém filmu (DGT) pro stanovení rtuti (Hg) a dalších stopových kovů a dále rozšířené možnosti použití této techniky. Technika DGT je v této práci vyvinuta pro stanovení Hg a dalších stopových prvků v různých kapalných médiích. Dvě rozdílná sorpční média specifická pro rtuť byla testována pro použití v technice DGT – Purolite S924 a cysteinem modifikovaná aminopropyl silika (CAPS). Purolite S924 je komerčně dostupný chelatační iontoměnič, CAPS byla připravena v laboratorních podmínkách imobilizací cysteinu na 3-aminopropyl funkcionalizovanou siliku pomocí glutaraladehydu. Obě testovaná sorpční média ukázala slibný aplikační potenciál pro užití v technice DGT díky funkčnosti v roztocích o širokém rozsahu pH i iontové síly. Funkčnost DGT s novými sorpčními médii byla porovnána s technikami DGT s běžně používanými sorbenty Chelex-100 a 3-merkaptopropylfunkcionalizovanou silikou. Hlavní výhodou sorpčních médií Purolite S924 a CAPS je schopnost současného stanovení Hg a dalších stopových kovů (Cd, Pb, Co, Ni, Cu). Vzhledem k odlišným požadavkům na sorpční média používaná v technice DGT nebylo dosud současné kvantitativní stanovení Hg a dalších stopových kovů možné. Doposud byly zapotřebí dvě samostatné techniky DGT – jedna pro Hg a druhá pro další stopové kovy, což zvyšuje množství vzorků pro analýzu a množství použitého spotřebního materiálu. Technika DGT s CAPS byla použita pro stanovení koncentrací kovů v námořních přístavech v Oostende a Zeebrugge na belgickém pobřeží Severního moře. Přestože byla technika DGT původně představena pro použití v analytické chemii životního prostředí, byla v této práci zkoumáno i použití této techniky v analýze potravin. V prostředí rybí omáčky byla ověřena funkčnost techniky DGT a stanoveny difúzní koeficienty Hg a dalších stopových prvků. Technika DGT byla následně použita pro stanovení koncentrace rtuti a dalších stopových kovů v různých komerčně dostupných vzorcích rybí omáčky. Výsledky nově navrhnutého analytického postupu s použitím techniky DGT byly porovnány s výsledky přímé analýzy atomovou absorpční spektroskopií s termální dekompozicí a amalgamací zlatem (TD-AAS) a po mikrovlnném rozkladu vzorků omáčky také s výsledky sektorové hmotnostní spektrometrie s indukčně vázanou plazmou (SF-ICP-MS). Díky předkoncentrační schopnosti techniky DGT byly dosaženy nižší detekční limity ve srovnání s TD-AAS nebo SF-ICP-MS. Technika DGT díky schopnosti oddělení analytů z komplexní matrice rybí omáčky rovněž snížila opotřebení a koroze kovových částí použitých instrumentálních technik.
This work studies development of Diffusive Gradients in Thin films (DGT) technique for determination of mercury (Hg) and other trace metals and further application possibilities of this technique. In this work, the DGT technique is developed for the determination of Hg and other trace metals in various liquid media. Two different Hg-specific ion-exchange resins were evaluated for application in the DGT technique – Purolite S924 and Cysteine-Modified Amino-Propyl silica (CAPS). The Purolite S924 is commercially available chelating resin, the CAPS resin was prepared under laboratory conditions by glutaraldehyde-mediated immobilisation of cysteine onto 3-aminopropyl functionalised silica. Both resins showed promising application potential in the DGT technique thanks to their good performance in solutions of a broad range of pH and ionic strength. The performance of the DGTs with the new resins was compared with the performance of the DGTs with the commonly used Chelex-100 and 3-mercaptopropyl functionalised silica resins. The major advantage of the S924 and CAPS resin is the ability of simultaneous assessment of Hg and other trace metals (Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, Co). Due to different requirements on the resins used in the DGT technique for Hg and other trace metals, the DGT technique or simultaneous quantitative determination of Hg and other trace metals was not reported yet. Until now, the assessment of Hg and other trace metals have been performed by two separated types of the DGT samplers – one for Hg and one for other trace metals. That increased the number of samples produced and consumables used. The DGT technique with the CAPS resin was used for determination of metals in Oostende and Zeebrugge marine harbours in the Belgian coastal zone. Although the DGT technique was originally introduced as an environmental analysis tool, the application of the DGT technique in food analysis was also studied in this work. The performance of the DGT technique was validated in fish sauces and the effective diffusion coefficients of Hg and trace metals in the fish sauce were determined. Subsequently, the DGT technique was successfully applied to determine the concentration of mercury and other trace metals in fish sauce samples. To compare the new analytical procedure using DGT technique, fish sauces were also analysed directly by thermal decomposition gold amalgamation atomic absorption spectroscopy (TD-AAS) and also after microwave decomposition by sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS). Due to the preconcentration ability of the DGT technique, lower detection limits were achieved in comparison with the TD-AAS or the SF-ICP-MS. Moreover, the wear and corrosion of metal parts of the analytical instruments were eliminated by the ability of the DGT technique to separate the trace metals from the complex matrix of fish sauce.
