Evaluation of methods for the determination of trace amounts of phosphates by means of flow injection systems

Abstract

A short introduction regarding the advantages of flow injection analysis, the merits of the modified simplex optimisation technique and the importance of the analysis of phosphates at low levels are given. Theoretical background is given for flow injection analysis, optimisation and the analysis of phosphates. The modified simplex optimisation of factors and the evaluation of three different photometric methods of phosphate analysis with the aid of flow injection analysis are investigated.
