Activation Analysis of Heavy Metals in Surface Waters Using Ion Exchange Filter Papers and Cyanide Complexing.

摘要

A technique is described for the multielement analysis of heavy metals in surface waters. It is capable of quantitative measurements of heavy metals down to trace amounts as shown by the 10analyses performed. It is rapid enough to show great promise in future water monitoring programs. The technique has possibilities as a useful tool for heavy metal analysis of gasoline and other petroleum products,of blood,of human lung and other tissues,of foods,and other areas,provided the sample can be dissolved into an easily handled liquid form. The technique eliminates sodium and bromine interference. The technique is very simple.
