LITERATURE SURVEY OF THE ONLINE PRECONCENTRATION IN FLOW-INJECTION ATOMIC SPECTROMETRIC ANALYSIS

The literature on the use of "on-line" preconcentration in flow injection atomic spectrometric analysis is reviewed, taking into account its application both in flame and electrothermal atomic absorption methods as well as in plasma emission spectrometry. The basis of the different preconcentration approaches, such as liquid-liquid extraction, column preconcentration and "on-line" precipitation are discussed. The literature survey reveals the analytical performance of the developed methodologies.
