Ss. Bhattacharyya et al., DETERMINATION OF MANGANESE IN ENVIRONMENTAL-SAMPLES (EG COAL FLY-ASH)BY ELECTROTHERMAL AAS AFTER ITS SEPARATION WITH A LIQUID CHELATING ION-EXCHANGER, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 355(2), 1996, pp. 180-182
An electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric method is described
for the determination of manganese in various coal fly ash samples aft
er its separation with dissolved monothioxo-beta-diketone as chelating
ion exchanger. The detection limit is 1 ng ml(-1). To study the accur
acy of the method, a reference material of similar composition was ana
lysed and recovery of spiked manganese was performed.
