The present work reports on the development of two analytical methods for the determination of manganese and vanadium using atomic absorption spectrometry with graphite furnace and the colorimetry of digital images. Within this context, two papers were prepared. The first consisted of the development of two liquid phase microextraction approaches (LPME), direct immersion droplet microextraction (DI-SDME) and continuous flow microextraction (CFME) using the reagent 1- (2-pyridilazo) -2-naphthol (PAN) as complexing agent and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C4MIM] [PF6] as the extraction solvent. The extraction efficiencies were compared. Some variables of the preconcentration system were optimized using the univariate method. The developed system presented limit of detection and quantification of 0.17 and 0.51 μg L-1, respectively, enrichment factor of 17.67. The accuracy of the method expressed as relative standard deviation (% RSD, n = 10) was 6.15 using a 1.0 μg L-1 Mn (II) solution. The accuracy of the method was evaluated by determination of manganese in certified reference material of mussel tissue (SEM 2976). The concentrations of manganese found in the certified samples ranged from 4.16 to 4.85 μg g-1.The second work involved the development of a system for determination of vanadium (V) in water samples using SDME-DC (digital colorimetry and colorimetry with digital images). The analyte of interest was extracted into one drop of the solvent hexafluorophosphate of 1 The chemical analyzes were performed in an ImajeJ program that employs an RGB (red-green-blue) primary color space with values ranging from 0 to 255. The RGB data were extracted from cropped digital images of sizes The data obtained by the red channel were used to construct the analytical curve, since it presented the highest sensitivity. Under optimized conditions, the method presented enrichment factors of 50, the detection limit obtained was 0.45 μg L-1 and the limit of quantification was 1.43 μg L-1. The accuracy of the method was assessed by the analysis of a reference material certifi BCR-414, Plankton, from the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM, Geel, Belgium).
