K. Cammann et al., SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF ORGANIC IONIC LEAD AND MERCURY SPECIES USING HPLC, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 350(1-2), 1994, pp. 30-33
A reversed-phase HPLC separation of organic ionic lead and mercury spe
cies has been achieved by using pre and on-column derivatisation with
methyl thioglycolate. The separation parameters have been optimized an
d shown to permit a reproducible determination. For the enrichment of
the compounds from water samples, the complexed organometallic species
are concentrated on a precolumn. A recovery of 70 to 80% is achieved
by using this one-line enrichment method.
