Flow Injection Analysis For Boron Determination By Using Methyl Borate Generation And Flame Atomic Emission Spectrometry, Deni̇z Yurtsever Sarica, Nusret Ertaş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Boron is one of the least sensitive elements in atomic emission spectrometry. As various refractory substances interfere in the analysis and because of the low sensitivity, sample enrichment and the separation of the interfering matrix is needed. Methyl borate has many advantages because of its simple generation conditions and its stability in the absence of moisture. New procedures for the generation of methyl borate without using external heating have also been investigated to produce a more rapid determination of boron. The on-line combination of flow injection analysis using methyl borate generation with flame atomic emission spectrometry as the detector is …
