- Sequential injection system exploring the standard addition method for phosphate determination in high salinity samples: interstitial, transitional and coastal watersPublication . Mesquita, Raquel Beatriz Ribeiro; Santos, Inês Carvalho; Bordalo, Adriano Agostinho; Rangel, António Osmaro Santos SilvaA sequential injection system for phosphate determination within a wide concentration range was developed for water samples with high salinity levels. The determination is based on molybdenum blue chemistry using the standard addition quantification method. The detection system included a multireflective flow cell coupled to a light emitting diode, enabling the minimization of the schlieren effect. The developed system gave a LOD of 0.3 mmol P L 1 and LOQ of 1.1 mmol P L 1 with a sample consumption of 125 mL. A determination rate of about 30 h 1 was obtained, and the developed method was effectively applied to interstitial, transitional and coastal waters.
