“…[2][3][4][5][6] The advantages of the combination of FI on-line preconcentration with spectrometry have been reviewed in the previous paper. 7 Various adsorbents have so far been reported for the on-line preconcentration of lead (and other heavy metals) in water samples. For example, 8-hydroquinoline immobilized onto silicone tubing 8 or microporous silica, 9 poly(L-cysteine) immobilized controlled-porous glass, 10 a highly cross-linked macroporous iminodiacetate resin (Metpac CC-1, Dionex) 11 and dealginated seaweed 12 have been used for the on-line preconcentration of lead in water samples prior to the ICP-MS determination of lead.…”
