A Chelating Agent - Activated Carbon - PIXE Procedure for Sub-ppb Analysis of Trace Elements in Water
(1981) In Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors, and Associated Equipment 181(1-3). p.221-226- Abstract
- By combining suitable water preconcentration techniques and Particle-Induced X-ray Emission analysis (PIXE), we have developed a procedure for multielemental sub-ppb water analysis. The preconcentration step consists of adsorbing the metals in the form of organic chelates onto activated carbon, which is pressed to a tablet and then analysed by PIXE. For very low concentrations and small volumes of water, a “mini-tablet” technique of sample preparation is employed. The versatility of the chelating-adsorption-PIXE procedure is demonstrated for several different kinds of water.
