Abstract:

The Cd (Ⅱ) in tap water was enriched by diffusive gradients in thin-film (DGT) technique with sodium poly
(aspartic acid) (PASP) as binding phase (PASP-DGT) and measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry
(GFAAS). The recoveries of Cd (Ⅱ) in the synthetic solutions measured by DGT-GFAAS method were 96.2%–101.7%. The
concentration of Cd (Ⅱ) in tap water measured by DGT-GFAAS was 0.21–0.35 mg/L with recoveries of 95.4%–107.0% and
RSD of 3.7%–7.4%. The detection limit of the DGT-GFAAS method was 0.002 5 μg/L (sampling time 48 h). Therefore, this
method can be used to measure trace Cd (Ⅱ) in tap water.

Key words: cadmium, diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT), graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), poly (aspartic acid) (PASP), tap water
