RESUMO
A procedure is proposed for the direct determination of manganese and iron in wine employing fast sequential flame atomic absorption spectrometry and the reference element technique to correct for matrix effects. Cobalt, silver, nickel and indium have been tested as reference elements. The results demonstrated that cobalt and indium at a concentration of 2 and 10mgL(-1) were efficient for quantification of manganese and iron, respectively. Under these conditions, manganese and iron could be determined with quantification limits of 27 and 40microg L(-1), respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of manganese and iron in 16 wine samples. The content of manganese varied from 0.78 to 2.89mgL(-1) and that of iron from 0.88 to 9.22mgL(-1). The analytical results were compared with those obtained by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry after complete mineralization using acid digestion. The statistical comparison by a t-test (95% confidence level) showed no significant difference between the results.

In this paper, we proposed a procedure for the determination of iron(II) and total iron in wine samples employing molecular absorption spectrophotometry. The ligand used is 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)-phenol (Br-PADAP) and the chromogenic reaction in absence or presence of ascorbic acid (reducing agent) allows the determination of iron(II) or total iron, respectively. The optimization step was performed using a multivariate technique (Box Behnken design) involving the factors pH, acid ascorbic concentration and reaction time. The method allows the determination of iron(II) and iron(III) in wine samples, with limits of detection and quantification 0.22 and 0.72 microg L(-1), respectively. The precision expressed as relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 1.43 and 0.56% (both, n=11) for content of iron(II) in wine samples of 1.68 and 4.65 mg L(-1), and 1.66 and 0.87% (both, n=11) for content of total iron in wine samples of 1.72 and 5.48 mg L(-1). This method was applied for determination of iron(II) and total iron in six different wine samples. In these, the iron(II) content varied from 0.76 to 4.65 mg L(-1) and from 1.01 to 5.48 mg L(-1) for total iron. The results obtained in the determination of total iron by Br-PADAP method were compared with those that were performed after complete acid digestion in open system and determination of total iron employing FAAS. The method of regression linear was used for comparison of these results and demonstrated that there is no significant difference between the results obtained with these two procedures.
RESUMO
Spectrometric techniques for the analysis of trace cadmium have developed rapidly due to the increasing need for accurate measurements at extremely low levels of this element in diverse matrices. This review covers separation and preconcentration procedures, such as electrochemical deposition, precipitation, coprecipitation, solid phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and cloud point extraction (CPE), and consider the features of the their application with several spectrometric techniques.
