The feasibility of chromium(VI) preconcentration on to activated alumina in a continuous flow system with spectrophotometric detection was investigated. Chemical and flow variables, and the influence of concomitant species were studied both with and without preconcentration systems. The best results were obtained by using a 2.5 cm long, 1.6 mm i.d. alumina minicolumn, and selecting 1 10 -...
An automatic back titration method for microchemical analysis is introduced, which is based on conventional volumetric analysis's principle and the use of flow injection analysis apparatus for the automation and microminiaturization of the process. The sample and a known, but excess amount of a calibrated reagent solution are injected and propelled into a titration cell, where their reaction takes...
An automatic photometric method to increase the precision of measurement is proposed, which is based on the injection of a very small volume of sample by rotary valve and the subsequent homogeneous mixing in a small reaction cell made of glass of the sample with a color-developing reagent gradually delivered by a syringe piston pump until the absorbance of the mixture approaches 0.434, where the lowest...
The field of flow injection analysis (FIA) is growing rapidly because much applied research is being conducted around the world. This creates a great need for information dissemination across the globe to keep researchers up to date on current research trends. With the internet becoming the tool for global communication, it seems appropriate that support of the growth in FIA should be via this medium...
A new method for the determination of acetylcholine is introduced and studied. The method uses enzymatic hydrolysis of acetylcholine carried out in a flow-through analytical reactor column, while for the detection triangle programmed coulometric flow titration is employed. The flow-through coulometric titration system and the preparation of the enzyme reactor are described. The operation conditions...
Insertion of an electrochemical cell in a flow injection system to evaluate the on-line reduction of ionic species is presented. The cell comprised Pt electrodes installed in two sections separated by a Nafion membrane. The sample was injected into an acidic carrier stream and passed through the cathode compartment of the electrolytic chamber where the species were reduced as consequence of an applied...
This paper describes the design of a hot-wire electrochemical flow detector, and the advantages accrued from the effects of locally increased temperature, mainly thermally induced convection, upon the amperometric monitoring of flowing streams. A new hydrodynamic modulation voltammetric approach is presented, in which the solution flow rate remains constant while the temperature of the working electrode...
A rapid, sensitive, accurate and precise flame atomic absorption method is described for the determination of cadmium in mussels. The method is based on the continuous precipitation of cadmium as an ion pair between tetraiodocadmate and quinine and dissolution of the precipitate with ethanol. The metal can be preconcentrated 32-fold using 15 ml of sample solution by using a time-based technique at...
A new strategy for minimization of Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ interferences on the spectrophotometric determination of Cd 2+ by the Malachite green (MG)-iodide reaction using electrolytic deposition of interfering species and solid phase extraction of Cd 2+ in flow system is proposed. The electrolytic cell comprises two coiled Pt electrodes concentrically assembled...
A flow-based analytical procedure for lactate determination in yoghurt by chemiluminescence using a conventional UV-Vis spectrophotometer as detector is described. The radiation source was switched off. The flow cell was machined in acrylic with a 1 mm path length and a 80 mm 2 surface and was positioned 2 mm distal of the photodetector (100 mm 2 sensible area) in order to improve...
A flow-injection procedure is proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of nickel in plants and foodstuffs using 2-(5-brom-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)-phenol (Br-PADAP) as colour-forming reagent. Tolerance to the presence of potential interferants is enhanced by adding sodium pyrophosphate to the reaction medium and by coupling a C 18 mini-column with immobilised 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol...
A flow system for the simultaneous determination of ammonium and phosphate in river water at the μg ml -1 level employing a low expensive LED-based photometer is described. The manifold of the flow system comprised four analytical pathways containg a set of three-way solenoid valves and an automatic injector commutator. The signal measurements of both analytes were carried out using two...
The increased demands placed on solution propulsion by programmed flow systems, such as sequential injection analysis, lab-on-value technology, bead injection and multi-commutation, has highlighted the inability of many conventional pumps to generate a smooth, consistent flow. A number of researchers have examined ways to overcome the inadvertent, uncontrolled pulsation caused by the mechanical aciton...
A multicommuted flow system is proposed for spectrophotometric determination of hydrosoluble vitamins (ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavine and pyridoxine) in pharmaceutical preparations. The flow manifold was designed with computer-controlled three-way solenoid valves for independent handling of sample and reagent solutions and a multi-channel spectrophotometer was employed for signal measurements...
In this work, a flow analysis system with hydride generation and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometric detection has been developed for the determination of antimony in pharmaceuticals.

An expert sequential injection system involving a prior assay is proposed for spectrophotometric determination of phosphate and eventually zinc in soil extracts. The result of phosphate determination is the basis for a concentration-oriented decision regarding to the need or not for zinc determination. Zinc was only determined if a threshold value (peak height corresponding to 5.0mgl -1 ...
