Highly selective micro-sequential injection method for the determination of ultra-trace concentrations of nickel in saline matrices using detection by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.
This approach is based on the formation of the Ni DMG precipitate in the solution held within reaction coil (RC) and subsequent transport of this precipitate, its absorption on, and final elution from a movable column.
