Pharmaceuticals may not be completely metabolized in the human body and can enter municipal sewage systems as the parent drug and as their “biologically active” metabolites. Some of these compounds cannot be easily...
Technical Note ; A sequential injection system for phosphate determination within a wide concentration range was developed for water samples with high salinity levels. The determination is based on molybdenum blue chemistry using the standard addition quantification method. The detection system included a multireflective flow cell coupled to a light emitting diode, enabling the minimization of the schlieren ef...
