Environmental Applications: Waters, Sediments and Soils

Abstract

Publisher This chapter illustrates the advantages of flow injection analysis (FIA) for maximizing the information obtained from transient ion-selective electrode signals. These advantages also apply to voltammetric techniques. FIA techniques are described for the determination of numerous parameters in water and wastewater monitoring. Selected examples of flow analysis methods for the determination of nutrient species in waters, sediments, and soils are demonstrated in the chapter. However, the routine rather than research application of these techniques, using commercial instrumentation, is limited to a restricted number of parameters. The area where FIA has achieved the most widespread app..
