摘要
A method for the simultaneous determination of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in environmental and waste waters is proposed. Samples were digested by alkaline persulphate solution in a microwave oven and the resulting solutions were analysed by ion chromatography without any sample pretreatment. The excess of sulphate (4.5 g l(-1)), generated from the digested persulphate, was eliminated by a column switching technique applied to a system composed of two serially connected columns. The detection system showed good reproducibility and accuracy in the typical concentration range used for wastewater. The limits of quantification were 9.0 mu equiv.l(-1) (0.12 mg N l(-1)) for total nitrogen and 3.3 mu equiv.l(-1) (0.10 mg P l(-1)) for total phosphorus. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
