Pa. Mosier-boss et Sh. Lieberman, Detection of anionic nutrients by SERS of cationic-coated silver substrates. Effect of chloride ion, APPL SPECTR, 55(10), 2001, pp. 1327-1336
Earlier it was demonstrated that surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)
of cationic-coated silver substrates could successfully detect nitrate and
sulfate in the parts-per-billion to parts-per-million concentration range.
However, these cationic coatings also interact with chloride ion. In this
paper, the magnitude of the chloride ion interference is examined. To elimi
nate the interference, we explore the use of selective ionophores and solid
-phase extraction (SPE).
