Abstract

A flow-injection system is described for on-line conversion of a soluble species to an insoluble compound by means of a tag-material which subsequently can be determined. This approach is used for the determination of sulphide by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, cadmium(II) ions being used as the precipitating tag-reagent. Excess of cadmium(II) is collected on a chelating ion-exchanger and later eluted. The detection limit for sulphide was 10 μg l −1 and the sampling rate was 100 h −1. Typical relative standard deviation was 1.2%. Of the potential interferences tested, only phosphate had any effect.
