Abstract: | The use of flow injection analysis to automated extraction methods for the determination of lithium ion utilizing crown ethers or cryptands is demonstrated. The ion-pair extraction of cryptand 211, lithium, and resazurin exhibits a linear range for lithium ion of 70 ppb to 2.1 ppm. This method could tolerate up to 1000 ppm sodium ion. The chromogenic crown ether, 1-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-1-aza-4,7,10-trioxacyclododecane, exhibits a linear range for lithium ion of 0.3 to 2 ppm. A sodium ion concentration of 230 ppm can be tolerated. Both extraction systems were used in the automated determination of lithium in blood serum and urine. Both methods agreed well with the known and/or atomic absorption values. |
