Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Aluminum(III), Iron(III) and Beryllium(III) in Rainwater by a Matrix Method

Abstract

A rapid and accurate method for the simultaneous determination of aluminum(III), iron(III) and beryllium(III) is proposed. The method can be applied to the determination of aluminum(III), iron(III) and beryllium(III) in rainwater without any preliminary separation. The determinations are performed by a CPA matrix method with spectrophotometric detection using Chromazurol S. The results obtained in analyses of rainwater samples are reported in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
