Determination of Lead and Cadmium Content in Potable Water by FAAS with Coprecipitation Concentration
The content of lead and cadmium in drinking water was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.The results showed that the linear relationship between Pb content in the range of 0~0.020 mg·L-1 was good,the correlation coefficient(R2)was 0.999 2,and the lowest detection concentration was 0.004 mg·L-1.The linear relationship between Cd content in the range of 0~0.010 mg·L-1 was good,the correlation coefficient(R2)was 0.999 3,and the lowest detection concentration was 0.002 mg·L-1.The relative standard deviations of the two elements were 7.0%~8.8%,and the recoveries were 95.0%~103.8%.The method is simple and stable,and is suitable for the determination of lead and cadmium in drinking water.
