“…The negative or positive interference of co-existing ions in AAS analysis is a main problem for researchers (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Heavy metals are generally found at trace levels, particularly at less than the detection limits of AAS which is another problem for these types of determinations (20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Enrichment and separation combinations, such as solid phase extraction, cloud point extraction, co-precipitation, solvent extraction, etc., are widely used to solve these limitations of AAS detection (25)(26)(27).…”
