A solvent sublation was studied for the determination of trace Cd, Co, Cu and Ni in water samples. Ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) was used as a complexing agent. Experimental conditions such as pH of solution, amounts of APDC, the type and amount of surfactant, the type of solvent, etc. were optimized for the effective sublation of analytes. After metal-PDC complexes were formed in sample solutions of pH 2.5, the precipitate-type complexes were floated in a flotation cell with an aid of sodium lauryl sulfate as a surfactant and by bubbling with nitrogen gas. The precipitates were dissolved and separated into the surface layer of methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK). The analytes preconcentrated were determined by a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GF-AAS). Extractability of each element was 88% for Cd(Ⅱ), 86% for Co(Ⅱ), 95% for Cu(Ⅱ) and 76% for Ni(Ⅱ), respectively. And this procedure was applied to the analysis of real samples. From the recoveries of more than 92%, it was concluded that this method could be simple and applicable for the determination of trace elements in various water samples of a large volume.

We have studied on the determination of Ni(II) using APDC as a complexing agent in Tween80 micellar medium. The absorption spectrum of Ni(PDC)$_2$ complex in Tween80 medium was better defined and more sensitive than that in chloroform Ni(PDC)$_2$ complex was very stable at pH 7.0 and up to 100 minutes, and could be quantitatively chelated when APDC was added to over 10 times moles of Ni(II). The optimum concentration of Tween80 was 0.1%. The calibration curve of Ni(PDC)$_2$ complex with good linearity(R$^2$=0.9955) was obtained in 0.1% Tween80 medium. The detection limit and the determination limit were 0.09 ${\mu}g$/mL and 0.28 ${\mu}g$/mL, respectively. This technique was applied to the analysis of Suwon stream water samples, and about l00% of recoveries were obtained from the spiked samples. Although the formation of Ni(PDC)$_2$ complex was interfered by various metal ions, this technique could be applied to the practical determination of Ni(II).

Basic studies for the effective extraction of ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(APDC) complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) into a solvent have been performed. The maximum distribution ratio was appeared (log D=1.3543) at pH 2.0 and the partition coefficient was 2.489 in the extraction of $4{\times}10^{-5}M$ APDC itself into chloroform. From the UV/visible spectra of metal-chelates in aqueous and organic solutions, the pH to form stable 1:2 metal-ligand complexes were Co(II):5.0, Ni(II):8.0 and Cu(II):8.0, respectively and only 1 minute was enough to be partitioned into the chloroform. Besides, the partition and extraction equilibria of the complexes were investigated by back-extracting $10.0{\mu}g/ml$ metal-chelates from the solvent into an aqueous solution beacuse of their slight solubilities in the aqueous solution. The distribution coefficients and extractabilities were as follows : at pH 6.5~8.5 of the aqueous solution, log D=2.834 : E(%)=99.9% for $Co(PDC)_2$, at pH 11, log D=5.699 E%=100 for $Ni( PDC)_2$, and at pH 6.0, log D=2.025 : E(%)=99.1% for $Cu(PDC)_2$. And the extraction and formation constants were log $K_{ex}=9.671$ : log ${\beta}_2=6.938$ for $Co(PDC)_2$, log $K_{ex}=9.646$ : log ${\beta}_2=7.071$ for $Ni( PDC)_2$, and log $K_{ex}=9.074$ : log ${\beta}_2=7.049$ for $Cu(PDC)_2$, respectively. From these results, an optimum extraction procedure can be constructed for the separative concentration of trace metallic ions, and the quantitative determination of them in advanced materials and environmental samples will be expected without any influence of sample matrixes.

The organic precipitate flotation using Cu(II)-pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate complex as a coprecipitant was studied for the preconcentration and determination of trace Cd, Pb, Bi and Co in several water samples. Experimental conditions such as pH of solution, amounts of Cu(II) and ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate(APDC), stirring time, the type and amount of surfactant, etc. were optimized for the effective flotation of analytes. After 3.0 mL of 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$ Cu(II) solution was added to 1.00 L water sample, the pH of the solution was adjusted to 2.5 with HNO3 solution. Trace amounts of analytes were coprecipitated by adding 2.0% APDC solution. And the precipitates were flotated onto the surface of solution with the aid of nitrogen gas and sodium lauryl sulfate. The floats were collected from mother liquor, and filtered through the micropore glass filter by suction. The precipitates were dissolved with 4 mL conc. HNO3, and then diluted to 25.00 mL with deionized water. The analytes were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. This flotation technique was applied to the analysis of some water samples, and the 90 to 120% of recoveries were obtained from the spiked samples, this procedure could be concluded to be simple and applicable for the trace element analysis in various kinds of water.

The determination of Cd2+ and Cu2+ with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) in Tween 80 micellar media has been studied. The UV-visible spectrum of Cd(PDC)2 complex in Tween 80 media had more sensitivity tha n in chloroform. Although the UV-visible spectrum of the Cu(PDC)2 complex in Tween 80 media had somewhat less sensitivity than that in chloroform, absorbance data of Cu2+ were more reproducible in Tween 80 media. The Cd(PDC)2 and Cu(PDC)2 complexes were very stable at pH 7.0 for up to 100 minutes and could be quantitatively chelated if APDC were added to the sample solution more than 30 times the moles of Cd2+ and Cu2+ . The optimum concentration of Tween 80 was 0.1%. The calibration curves of Cd(PDC)2 and Cu(PDC)2 complexes with good linearity were obtained in 0.1% Tween 80 media. The detection limits of Cd2+ and Cu2+ were 0.0493 ㎍mL-1 and 0.0393 ㎍mL-1 , respectively. Recovery yields of Cd2+ and Cu2+ ions in the spiked real samples were almost 100%. Based on experimental results, this proposed method could be applied to the rapid and simple determination of Cd2+ and Cu2+ in real samples.

Isotope-dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to determine trace amounts of Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni and Zn in sediment. Sediment samples were dissolved by microwave digestion with addition of mixed acid ($HNO_3$, HF and $HClO_4$). Lead was determined after separation of alkaline and alkaline earth metals by an ammonium pyrrolidenedithiocarbarmate (APDC) solvent extraction. The other elements were determined after separation of iron, tin and titanium by hydroxide precipitation. Recovery efficiency of the analyte elements was not satisfactory, but most of matrix elements causing the isobaric interference could be effectively eliminated by the separation. Good agreement was achieved with the certified values in the analysis of the two sediment reference materials.

A method for the determination of dissolved species of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in sea water by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) is described. Prior to analysis by AAS, these elements are concentrated by coprecipitation with iron pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate at pH 3 because of matrix effects and their low concentration levels in sea water. The detection limits are 0.01, 0.04, 0.02, 0.05, 0.08, and 0.03$\mu\textrm{g}$/l, and the relative standard deviations are 1.0, 2.4, 1.3, 2.9, 2.0 and 2.9% for Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, respectively. The method is shown to be satisfactory in terms of recovery and precision for the determination of these metals in sea water.

Background: Peripheral nerve injury leads to neuropathic pain, including mechanical hyperalgesia (MH). Nerve discharges produced by an injury to the primary afferents cause the release of glutamate from both central and peripheral terminals. While the role of centrally released glutamate in MH has been well studied, relatively little is known about its peripheral role. This study was carried out to determine if the peripherally conducting nerve impulses and peripheral glutamate receptors contribute to the generation of neuropathic pain. Methods: Rats that had previously received a left L5 dorsal rhizotomy were subjected to a spinal nerve lesion (SNL) or brief electrical stimulation (ES, 4 Hz pulses for 5 min) of the left L5 spinal nerve. The paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) to von Frey filaments was measured. The effects of an intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of a glutamate receptor (GluR) antagonist or agonist on the changes in the SNL- or ES-produced PWT was investigated. Results: SNL produced MH, as evidenced by decrease in the PWT, which lasted for more than 42 days. ES also produced MH lasting for 7 days. MK-801 (NMDAR antagonist), DL-AP3 (group-I mGluR antagonist), and APDC (group-II mGluR agonist) delayed the onset of MH when an i.pl. injection was given before SNL. The same application blocked the onset of ES-induced MH. NBQX (AMPA receptor antagonist) had no effect on either the SNL- or ES-induced onset of MH. When drugs were given after SNL or ES, MK-801 reversed the MH, whereas NBQX, DL-AP3, and APDC had no effect. Conclusions: Peripherally conducting impulses play an important role in the generation of neuropathic pain, which is mediated by the peripheral glutamate receptors.
