A. Mohammad et Mam. Khan, NEW SURFACE-MODIFIED SORBENT LAYER FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TOXIC METALS IN SEAWATER AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE-WATER, Journal of chromatography, 642(1-2), 1993, pp. 455-458
Thorium nitrate-impregnated silica gel layers were utilized for the se
paration of zinc, cadmium, thallium and mercury from seawater and indu
strial wastewater. Some common pesticides, namely malathion, carbaryl,
carbofuran and bavistin, do not impair the separation and detection o
f the above-mentioned toxic metals in seawater and industrial wastewat
er. Detection limits of these toxic metals are reported.
