Determination of Potassium in Environmental Water Samples by Continuous Flow Analysis / 环境与健康杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a continuous flow analytical method for determination of potassium in environmental water sample.Methods The concentration of patassium in environmental water sample was determined by ALLIANCE auto-matic analyzer,and its data were compared with the data obtained from atomic absorption spectrophotometry.Results The de-tection limit of this method was0.5?g /ml.The method revealed linear relationship at the potassium concentrations of5-1000?g /ml.The recovery rate of standard addition method ranged from to97%to102%.The relative standard deviations were0.82%-1.23%.Conclusion The contents of potassium in environmental water samples could be accurately and rapidly deter-mined by continuous flow analysis.
