Abstract
Trace metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn) and Fe were analyzed in two sediment reference samples (NBS 1646, MESS-1) with AAS fitted with graphite furnace, using five different (three total and two selective) extraction procedures. The comparison of the total digestion methods (hot strong adds) with reference materials gave good results for almost all of them, and the “teflon bomb* was preferred for its rapidity and ease of operation. Some non-referenced data on total and organic carbon, total nitrogen and minerals are given. The two selective leaching extractions (nitric and cold hydrochloric) were also compared with reference values. The use of certified reference materials (CRM) for environmental chemistry is recommended, together with the determination of organic matter and fundamental mineralogical composition. © 1987, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
