Abstract: The method of determining total fluoride in tea has been investigated, with oxygen bomb combustion and ion chromatography. The result showed that the sample of tea was burned in the oxygen bomb with 3 MPa purity oxygen, the content of total fluoride was determined directly by means of ion chromatography. The gradient elution procedure was optimized as 5~40 mmol/L and the flow rate as 1.0 mL/min. The linear range of the calibration curve for fluoride was 0.05~30 mg/L with a detection limit of 5 μg/kg. The average recoveries were 90.7%~103.4% with RSD of 0.93%~2.02%. The fluoride in national tea reference material was determined.It was concluded that the advantages of present method are simple operation, high sensitivity and good repeatability.
