Im. Maksimova et al., SEGMENTED-FLOW ANALYSIS - ON LINE MICROWAVE SAMPLE PROCESSING FOR THEANALYSIS OF NATURAL-WATERS, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 357(7), 1997, pp. 946-949
A flow system including an on-line coated capillary column for the det
ermination of traces of metal ions in natural waters is proposed, empl
oying a manifold of flow microwave sample processing. This method elim
inates the noise caused by the organic matrix, i.e. humic and fulvic a
cids. The system was applied to the determination of Pb, Co, Mn(II), a
nd Fe(III) in swamp water. The proposed technique can be useful for ro
utine analysis of natural and waste waters.
