Abstract:
A flow-injection system is described for the simultaneous determination of calcium and magnesium with simultaneous injection of two sample plugs and a masking agent plug and with a single detector. The system utilizes the simultaneous injection of an ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid plug and two small sample plugs into the same carrier stream and which are merged downstream with 3,3'-bis[N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)aminomethyl)]-o-cresolphthalein solution for spectrophotometric determination of calcium and magnesium. The results for the analysis of natural waters by the proposed method correspond well with those obtained by the conventional titration method with ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid, and showed good reproducibility. The rate of analysis is about 15 samples/hr.
