Abstract
[Objective] The aim was to develop a rapid,simple method for determination of cadmium and lead in sugarcane samples by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.[Method] The method for determination of Cd and Pb in sugarcane by combined graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and microwave digestion was used.[Result] The concentration curve was linear within the range of 0-0.80 μg/L the detection limits of Cd and Pb was 0.015 and 0.030 μg/L,respectively.The precision for elevenfold determination of Cd and of Pb at the 0.40 μg/L level were 1.8% and 2.3%(RSD),respectively.Recoveries of 96.7%-98.2% for Cd and 104.6%-106.7% for Pb were obtained for two sugarcane samples and one certified reference material.[Conclusion] The proposed method has the advantages of simple operation,high sensitivity,and high efficiency;it was successfully used for determination of Cd and Pb in sugarcane samples.
