Filtering a 200-mL water sample through a pair of Chelex-100 Ion-exchange membranes, under a 2-3 bar pressure, at pH 7 to 8 In not less than 20 min, leads to an efficient collection of many trace metals In a form that Is Ideal for subsequent x-ray fluorescence analysis. Since enrichment factors around 1250 are obtained, the detection limits are at the 1-ppb level. The precision Is estimated tobe In the 10-15% range. A perfectly linear relationship between concentration and measured x-ray yield Is obtained up to the total membrane pair capacity of 0.07 mequlv. The significant affinity of Chelex-100 membranes for the—usually abundant—alkali and alkaline earth Ions, together with their limited capacity, restricts the applicability of the described technique to samples with a very low alkali and alkaline earth content.X-ray fluorescence is essentially a multielement, simple, rapid, andcheap analytical technique. Yet it is rarely applied to aqueous samples. Direct irradiation of aqueous samples in a measuring vial with a thin Mylar bottom leads to typical sensitivities for transition metals in the order of 0.3-5 ppm (2). When sensitivities in the ppb region are required, the trace metals must first be preconcentrated and the difficulty lies obviously in preparing targets containing all elements sufficiently enriched and distributedwith sufficient uniformity to permit sensitive and reliable analysis. X-ray fluorescence has been employed in combination with precipitation and coprecipitation, evaporation, solvent ex-traction, chelation, and adsorption on activated carbon, use of ion-exchange resin or of silica gel with immobilized functional groups.
