Abstract:
In the present work, all steps of the sulfate reduction procedures, such as reduction, distillation and sulfate determination were joined in only one FIA system. The formed sulfide was on-line determined by employ the Fisher reaction. The proposed method presented a LOD of 1.00 μg L(-1) and a LOQ of 3.33 μg L(-1), well lower than the most commonly used turbidimetric determination, with no significant interferences. Additionally, we reached an analytical frequency of 6 measurements per hour, including all steps, beginning with the introduction of the sample up to the signal reading. Therefore, it revealed very fast, low reagent/sample consumption, agreeing with green-chemistry statements. This method has also a wide linear range (3.33 up to 1000 μg L(-1)), being useful for both low and high sulfate concentrations.
