Abstract: To determine total arsenic in Chinese traditional herbs, a hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry method was developed. The samples were pretreated by digesting system with HNO3-H2O2. The experimental conditions were studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the samples was measured. There was a good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity and arsenic concentration in the range of 0～80μg•L-1with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995,while the detection limit was 0.036μg•L-1,the relative standard deviation was 1.9% .Trace total arsenic in the samples was 0.145～0.376μg•g-1 and a recovery range of 83.9%～108.5% were obtained.

Abstract: Extraction of amygdalin by ethanol refluxing from waste loquat kernel was performed successfully. Amygdalin concentrations were determined by using ultraviolet spectrophotometry with ethanol as solvent at 210 nm. And the influences of various factors on extraction process were discussed. The result shows that the concentration of ethanol is the most influencing factor in this process, and then the solid-liquid volume ratio, the extraction temperature and the extraction time. Optimum conditions for this extraction process are: the solid-liquid volume ratio is 1/10, the concentration of ethanol is 65%, the extraction temperature is 60°C and the extraction time is 45min.

Abstract: In this work, the effect of split ratio and the column flow in determination of OCPs in Traditional Chinese medicines are discussed in the name of heptachlor. When the split ratio is 60:1, the measured concentration is close to the actual concentration; on the contrary, they lead the measured concentration lower than the actual concentration. The column flow has not obviously effect on result. The split ratio is considered in OCPs analysis.
