Abstract

Recebido em 15/9/10; aceito em 1/3/11; publicado na web em 5/5/11 ALKALINE SOLUBILIZATION OF FISH AND MULTIVARIATE OPTIMIZATION FOR DETERMINATION OF LEAD AND MANGANESE USING GRAPHITE FURNACE ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY. This paper describes the development of methods for the determination of Pb and Mn in fishes by GF AAS after solubilization with tetramethylamonium hidroxide. The optimization of the operational conditions and the choice of modifier were made using multivariated optimization. Analytical Figures of Merit were adequately to propose. The Limit of Quantification obtained were 150 and 18.5 µg kg -1 to Mn and Pb, respectively. No significant difference was found between the slope values obtained for the aqueous and standard addition calibration curves. The D.P.R. was always lower than 12% and the analysis of the SRM NRCC TORT2 showed 80-120% of recovery.
