Evaluating the Performance of a Diffusive Gradient in Thin Film Embedded with Montmorillonite for the Determination of Labile Cd, Pb, Mn, and Zn in Natural River Water
Abstract:Montmorillonite (MMT), a natural clay mineral with high ion-exchange capacity and trace metal adsorbability, has been demonstrated to be a suitable binding phase in the diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) technique for the determination of labile trace metals in synthetic water samples. However, in situ working performance of DGT-MMT with natural river water has not yet been investigated. The present study examined the performance of a DGT containing montmorillonite (MMT) for the in situ isolation and determ… Show more
