Abstract

A novel inexpensive 0.6 MPa (84 psi) flow system based on a low-cost diaphragm pump has been developed. The unfavourable strong pulsation of the pump has been overcome by using highly flexible silicone tubing as a pulse suppression coil. This results in a smooth pulse-free continuous flow of 100 mL min(-1) in circulation. This flow rate is much too high for a flow-injection system; however, with a restrictor capillary the flow rate required can be tapped off down to a range of 0.1-50 mL min(-1). By employing diaphragm pumps in an analytical flow system the pressure gap between HPLC pumps (2-40 MPa) and peristaltic pumps (<0.2 MPa), mainly used in FIA systems, can be filled. Due to the higher pressure delivered by diaphragm pumps relative to peristaltic pumps, the new flow system can be applied to on-line sample pre-concentration and matrix separation in flame AAS and ICP-OES by using standard HPLC pre-columns or small ion-exchange columns, respectively. In this way, very low detection limits in flame AAS have been reached (Cd 0.07 micro g L(-1), Cu 0.05 micro g L(-1), Co 0.9 micro g L(-1), Ni 0.8 micro g L(-1), Mn 0.7 micro g L(-1), Pb 0.8 micro g L(-1) and Tl 0.2 micro g L(-1)).
