Abstract

This study was carried out to improve the analytical method for determination of germanium in plants by atomic absorption spectrometry with graphite furnace. For the decomposition of plant samples, the mixed acid of $HNO_3+HClO_4+H_2SO_4$(10 : 4 : 1, v/v) was used. Under this condition, time requirement for the decomposition was 4~5 days and recovery rate was more than 98%. Solution for filling up to constant volume after decomposition was 0.1M acetic acid-sodium acetate. Detection limit for determination of germanium was 0.02 ppm by atomic absorption spectrometry with graphite furnace and argon gas. These results were corresponded with the above-mentioned research projects for improving the determination method of germanium in plants.

본 연구는 식물체 중 게르마늄을 분석할 때 기존의 방법보다 분석효율이 높고 간편하여 분해시간이 짧게 걸리는 방법을 찾고자 실험을 수행하였다. 시료 분해시 분해액은 $HNO_3+HClO_4+H_2SO_4$의 혼합산을 10 : 4 : 1(v/v)의 비율로 혼합 사용하였을 때 분해 소요 일수는 4~5일이었고, 회수율은 98% 이상이었다. 분해 후 최종 일정 부피로 맞추어 주기 위한 용액은 0.1M acetic acid-sodium acetate가 좋았으며, 아르곤 연료를 사용한 탄소봉원자화기부착 원자흡광분광광도계의 검출 한계는 0.02ppm이었다. 이와 같은 결과들은 식물체 중 게르마늄 분석에 있어서 전술한 실험 목적에 부합되는 결과였다.
