Abstract
A simple and reliable sequential injection analysis (SIA) system is described for the determination of boron as boric acid in eye lotions. This method is based on the complexation reaction between d-sorbitol and boric acid followed by the acid–base reaction with methyl orange (MO). The colour change reaction is monitored at 520 nm. The system is able to monitor boron at a frequency of 30 samples per h with a relative standard deviation of less than 0.6%. The calibration graph is linear up to 12-mg l −1. The system has a detection limit of 0.06-mg l −1. No significant differences (at 95% probability level) were found between the proposed SIA method and the reference method.
